treat,
It was generally known that somewhere
within its black depths, antitl whose tangled
cane brakes panthers, bears, and wild cats
roamed unmolested, where water moccasins
end aiigatora abounded, and where tempt-
ing keds of greenest moss concealed deadly
bits of shiny Ooze, old Jake Minders had
for years maintained a moonshine still,
though no living man had ever visited or
seen it; and that here his son, the boy only
known as "tiwatnpy," had remained alone
ever since the disappearance of the old man
who, either dead or a fugitive front justice,
had now been missing for many months.
How 'watnpy lived none knew nor cared.
His neighbors only swore wlouever they
spoke of him, and wished he would eeu8e to
live at all or w mild follow his lather to parts
unknown.
Even Swampy wondered wiry he stayed
where be did. The only reason he could
give to himself was that he knew and loved
the Black Cypress, with a knowledge and
live belonging only to those who have
pesee.! ,heir lives in a single house. Antill
its glonmy shadows he had dwelt ever since
he could remember, and for aught he knew
he had been horn in the swamp.
His life was as cheerless and lonely as
can .well be aonceive'l ; but although he
never worked and knew not the meaning
of the word " study," it wan a fairly busy
one. He had a living to get as well as any
one else, and he got it byhtinting, trapping.
fishing, and stealing, all of which were to
hits perfectly legitimate occupations. He
had never been taught that stealing was
wrong, though he had received front his
father many lessons of a nature that he was
not, likely to forget on the enormity and
diagraee of being caught at it.
Thus when the boy was thrown upon his
ow•n resources he stole whatever he con-
sidere'1 necessary to his comfort as uaturaI.
ly as he breathed or slept, and Was more
than proud of the knowledge that Ile had
never been caught at it.
The principal scene of Swampy's depreda•
(ions was Cypress Knoll, a plantation that
bordered on the swamp in which Ire made
his home.
It was near by, abounded in the very
things he most needed, end was leaa care-
fully guarded than other places whose
owners lived on then,.
Its owner, whose name was Addis, was
compelled by business to spend moat of hie
time in a distant city ; but the plantation,
left in charge of an overseer, was kept up
after a fashion, principally, so Swampy was
pleased to fanoy, for his special benefit.
Although there was much thieving on this
plantation of which Swampy was both inno-
0elt and ignorant, it was all credited to him
in the reports made to its proprietor.
About a week before the time with which
this story opens, Dir. Addie, accompanied
by his wife and their Only child, a little 5.
year•old daughter, arrived unexpectedly at
Cypress Knoll, on a visit of Inspection.
Tho proprietor soon discovered that he
had been system) l ically robbed on all Rides,
but, so far as he could find out, every one
was honest and innocent save "Dat tievin'

outen yo' head, an' nebber get ooteli if yo'

So against Swampy was the proprietor's
wrath directed, and vowing to bring the
young rascal to ,ualeoe before he left the
neighborhood ire laid many plans for the
lad's eapeuee.
Of all this t he boy remained in such ignor.
vino that he found no reason for ceasing
Ma stealthy visits to Cypress Knoll when.
ever his hangar or other necessities seemed
to demand them.
He even began to visit the plaint by clay
light and more frequently than ever, for he
had learned that it possessed a new (Wren.

NERVOUS IDISEASES0
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervinc Tonic, which is very- pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most.
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of ail the ailments to which the human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tion. When there is an instiflicient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong 8ti-ben the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailmenta
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous st-stein must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary foots does not con-
tain asufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
rangement.

My daughter, eleven years old, was severely afflicted with St.. Vitus' Dance
or Chorea. We gave her three and one-half bottles of South American Ner-
vine and she is completely restored. I believe it will cure every case of lit.
