BOLTON AND' Br FRIENDS.
-BY HARRIET BEE° ER STOWE.
•
In connection with the interest in Mrs.
Stowe's *chits 're -awakened by :her recent
death, the Scottish Temperance League has
been republishing some of her tales. The
following is an extract from a larger work:
"Henderson," said Bolton to me one day,
"how long are you engaged on the
Democracy?'
"Only for this year," said I.
"Because.,' said he, "I have something
to propose to you which I hope may prove a
better thing. Hestermann & Co. sent for
me yesterday in secret session. The head
manager•of their whole set of magazines
and papers has resigned, and is going to
travel in Europe, and they want me to take
the place."
" Good! I am heartily glad of it," said i
I. "I always felt that you were not n the
position that you ought to have. You will
accept, of course?"
"Whether I aecept or not -depends on
you,' he replied.
"I cannot understand," said I.
"In abort, then," said he, "-the responsi-
bility is a heavy one, and I cannot under-
take it without a partner whom I can trust
as myself—I mean, he added, "whom I can
trust more than myself."
" Yeu are a thousand times too good,"
said I. I should like nothing better than
each a partnership, but I feel oppressed by
your good opinion. Are you sure that I am
the one for you ?"
"I think I am," said he, "and it is a
ease where I am the best judge; and it offers
to you just what you want—a stable posi-
tion, independence to express yourself, and
a good income. Hestermann keo. are rich,
and wise enough to know- that liberality is
the best policy."
"But,' said I, "their offers are made to
you, and not to me."
Well, of course, their acquaintance
with me is of old standing ; but I have
spoken to them of you, and >I am to bring
you round to talk with the* to -morrow;
but, after all, the whole power of arranging
is left with me. They put a certain sum at
my disposal, i and I do what I please with it
In- short," he said, smiling, "I hold the
living, and you are my curate. Well," he
added, "of course you need time to think
matters over ; here is paper on which I
have made a little memorandum of an ar-
rangement between us; take it and dream
on it, and let me know to -morrow what you
think of it."
I went to my room and unfolded the
agreement, and found the terms liberal be-
yond all iv expectations. In fact, the in-
come of the principal was awarded to me,
and that of the subordinate to Bolton.
I took the paper the next evening to Bol-
ton's room.
'Look here, Bolton,' said I, these terms
are simply absurd."
"How so?" he said, lifting his eyes tran-
quilly from his book. What's the matter
with them ?"
"Why, you give me all the incOme,"
"Wait till you see how work you."
he said, smiling. Pll get it out of you;
you see if I don't."
"But you leaVe yourself nothing ?"
"I have at much. as I would have, and
that's enough. I'm a literary monk, you
know, with no family but Puss and Stumpy,
poor fellow, and I need the less."
Stumpy upon this pricked, up his ragged
ears with an expression of lively satisfac-
tion sat back on his haunches, and rap-
ped the floor with his forlorn bit of 'a tail.
"Poor Stumpy," said Bolton, you don't
know that you are the homeliest dog in
New York, do you? Well, as far as you
go, you are perfect goodness, Stumpy,.
thoughyou are no beauty."
Upon this high praise Stumpy seemed so
elated that he stood on his hind paws, rest-
ed his rough fere feet on Bolton's knee, hnd
looked up with hiseyes of admiration.
"Man is the dog's god," said Belton. "1
can't conceive how any man can be rude to
his !log. A dog," he added, fondling his
ragged cur, "why, he's nothing but organ-
ized love—love On, four feet, encased in fur,
and looking piteously out at the eyes—love
that would die for you yet cannot speak—
that's the touching part. Stumpy longs to
speak; his poor dog's breast heaves with
something he longs to tell me, and can't.
Don't it, Stump ?"
As if he understood his master, Stumpy
wheezed a doleful whine, and actual tears
etood in his eyes.
Well," said Bolton, "Stumpy has
beautiful eyes; nobody shall deny that—
there, there! poor fellow,' maybe on the
other shore your rough hark will develop
into speech; let's hope so. I confess I'm of
the poor Indiates mind, and hope to -meet
my dog in the hereafter. Why should so
much love go out in nothing? X es, S bumpy,
we'll meet f the resurrection, won't we ?"
Stumpy b rked aloud with the greatest
=imam. .
"'Bolton;: you ought to be a family man,'
said I. Why do you take it for granted
that you are to be a literary monk, and
spendfyour love on dogs and cats ?" .
"You may get married, Hal, and I'll
adopt your children," said Bolton; "that's
one reason why I want to" establish you.
You see one's dogs will die, and it breaks
one's heart. If you had a boy now I'd. in.
vestin him."
And. why.can't you invest in a boy of
your owe?"
" Oh, I'm predestined old bachelor."
"No such thing," I persisted, hardily.
"Why do you immure yourself in a den?
Why won't you go out into society? Here,
Here, ever since I've known you, you have
been in this one cave—a NeW York hermit;
-yet if you would once begin to go into so-
ciety you'd like it."
"You think I haven't tried it; you forge'
that I am some years older than you are,'
said Bolton. •
"You are a good-looking 3 Gang. fellow
yet," said, I, "and ought to make the most
of yourself. Why should you turn all the
advantages into my hands, and keep so little
for yourself ?"
"It suits me," said Bolton; "I am 'lazy
—I mean to get the work out of you." -
" That's all hum," said I: you know
well enough that yea are not lazy; you
take delight in work for work's sake."

"One reason 1 am glad of this position,"
he said, is that it gives me a chance to
manage matters a little as I want them. For
instance, there's Jim Fellows—I want to
make something more than a mad Bohemian
of that boy. Jim is one of the wild growths
of our New York life; he is a creature of
the impulses and the senses, and will be for
good or evil, according asothers use him."
"He's capital company," said I, "but. he
doesn't seem to me to have a serious thought
on any subject,"
"And yet," said Bolton, "such is 'our
day and time that Jim is mere likely than
you or I to get along in the world. His cap
and bells win favor everywhere, and the
laugh lie raises gives him the privilege of
saying anything he pleases; For my part I
couldn't live without Jim. I have a weak-
ness for him, Nothing is so precious to me
as a laugh, and, wet or dry, I can always
get that out of Jim. He'll work in admir-
ably with us.."
" One thing must be said for Jim," said 1,
"with all his keenness he's kind-hearted.
He never is witty at the expense of real
trouble. As he says, he goes for the under
dog in the fight always, and his cheery,
frisky, hit-or-miss morality does many a
kind turn for the unfortunate, while he is
always needy to help the poor."
"Jim is not of the sort that is going to
do the world's thinking for them," said Bob.
ton; "neither will he ever be one of the
noble army of martyrs for principle. He is
like a lively, sympathetic horse .that will
keep the step of the team he is harnessed
in, and in the department of lively non-
sense he'd do us yeoman service. Now-a.
dayspeople must have truth whipped up to
a white froth or they won't touch it. Jim
is a capital egg -beater."
"Yes," said- I, "he's like the horse that
had the go in him; he'll rim any team that
he's harnessed in, and if you hold the reins
he won't run off the course."
"Then, again," said Bolton, ' there's
your cousin; there is the editorship of our
weekly journal will be just the place for
her. You can write and offer it te her."
"Pardon me," said 1, maliciously, "since
you are acquainted with the lady, why not
write and offer it yourself? It would be a
good chance tec, renew your acquaintance."
Bolton's countenance changed, and he
' remained a moment silent.
"Henderson," he said, "there are very
painful circumstances connected with my ac-
quaintance with your cousin. I never wish
to meet or renew my acquaintance with her.
Some time I will tell you why," he added.
The next evening I found on my table the
following letter from Bolton:
"Dear Henderson,—You need feel no
hesitancy Bloat accepting in. full every ad-
vantage in the position I proposed to you,
since you may find it weighted with cli'Hada
vantages and encumbrances you do not
dream of. In short, I shall aek of you ser-
vices for which no money can pay, and till I
knew you there was no man in the world of
whom I had d red to ask them. I want a
friend, courag ous, calm and true, capable
of thinking br adly and justly; one superior
to ordinary p, eiudices, who may be to me
another and in some hours a stronger self.
"I can fancy your surprise at this lan-
guage, and y et I have not read you aright if
you are not one of a thousand on whom I
may rest this hope.
"You often rally me on my lack of en-
terprise arid ambition; on my hermit habits.
The truth is, Henderson, I am a strained
and unseaworthy craft, for whom the har-
bor and shore are ,the safest quarters. I
have lost trust in myself, and .dare not put
out to sea without feeling the, strong hand
of a friend with me.
I suppose no young fellow ever entered
the course of life with more self-confidence.
I had splendid health, high spirits, great
power of application, and great social
powers. Hived freely and carelessly on the
abundance of my physical resources. I
could ride, and row, and ivrestle with
the best. I could lead in all social
gaieties yet keep the head of my class, as
I did the first two years of my college life.
It seems hardly fair to us human beings
that we should be so buoyed up with igno-
rant hope and confidence in the beginning of
our life, and that we should be left in our
ignorance to make mistakes which no after
years can retrieve. I thought I was per-
fectly sure of myself; I thought my health
and strength were inexhaustible, and that I
could carry weights that no man else could.
The drain of my wide-awake, exhausting
life upon my nervous system, I Made up by
the insidious use of stimulants. I was like
a man habitually overdrawing his capital,
and ignorant to what extent. In my third
college year this began to telt perceptibly
on my nerves. I was losing self-control,
losing my way in life; I was excitable, irri-
table, impatient of guidance or reproof, and.
at times horribly depressed. I sought refuge
from this depression in social exhilaration,
and, having lost control of myself, became a
marked man aaneng the college authorities;
in short, I was overtaken in a convivial
row, brought under college discipline, and
suspended.
"It was at this time that I went into
your neighborhood to study and teach. I
found no difficulty in getting the highest
recommendations as to scholarship from
some of the college officers who were for
giving me a chance to recover myself; and
for the rest I was thoroughly sobered and
determined- on a new course, Here com-
menced my acquaintance with your cousin,
and there followed a few months, remem-
bered ever since as the purest happiness of
my, life. I loved her with all there was in
me—heart, soul, mind and strength—with a
e
love which can never die. She Illso loved
me, more,, perhaps than she dared to say,
for she was young, hardly come to full con-
sciousness of herself. She was then scarcely
sixteen, ignorant of her own- ndture, igno-
rant of life, and almost frightened at the in-
tensity of the feeling whichsheexcited in
me, yet she loved me. Ida before we could
arrive at anything like a calm understand-
ing her father came between us. _He was a
trustee of the academy, and a- dispute apose
between him and me, in which he treated
me with an overbearing haughtiness which
aroused the spirit of opposition in me. I
was in the right, and knew I was, and I de-
fended my course before the other trustees
in a manner which won Ahem over to my
way of thinking—a victory which he never
for‘g:' aPvre.
eviously to this encounter I had been
in the habit of visiting in his family quite
Intimately. Caroline and I enjoyed that
kind of unwatched freedom which the cus-
toms of New England allow to young peo-
ple. I always attended her home from the
singing school and the weekly, lectures, and
the evening atter my encounter' with the
trustees I did the same. At the door of
his house he met us, and as Caroline passed
in he stopped me, and briefly% saying that
my visits there would no longer be permit-
ted, closed the dor in my face. I tried to
obtain an interview SC1011 after, when he
sternly' upbraided me as one that had stolen
into the village and won their `confidence
under false pretences, adding that if he'
and the trustees had known the full litstory
of my college life I should never have been
perniitted to teach in their village or have
access to their families. 'It was in vain to
attempts defence to a man determined' to
take the very worst view of facts which I
did not pretend to deny. I knew that I
had been irreproachable as to my record in
the -school, that I had been fathful in my
duties, that the majority of parents and
pupils were on my side, but I could not de.
ny the harsh facts which he had been en-
abled to obtain from some secret enemy,and
which he thought justified him in saying
that he would rather see his daughter in
her grave than see her my wife. Thenext day
Caroline did not appear in school. Her
ether with prompt energy, took her imme-
diately to an academy fifty miles away,
"I did not attempt to follow her or
write to her; a profound sense of discour-
agement came over me, and I looked on my
acquaintance with her with a sort of re-
morse. The truth bitterly told by an
nemy with a vivid power of statement is a
onic oftentimes too strong for one's power
f endurance. I never reflected so seriously
n the responsibility which a man assumes
in awakening the slumbering feelings of a
woman and fixing them on himself. Under
he reproaches of Caroline's father I cohld
at regard this a wrong I had done, and
which could be expatiated only by leaving
er to peace and forgetfulness.
"I resolved that I would never let her
ear from me again till I had fully proved
myself to be possessed of such powers of i
elf -control as would warrant me n offering
o be the guardian of her happiness.
"But when I set myself to the work I
°and what many another does, that I had
eckoned without my host. The man who
as begun to live and wcirk by artificial
timulant never knows where he stands, and
an never count upon himself with any cer-
aiuty. He lets into his castle a servant
ho -becomes the meet tyrannical of mas-
rs. He may resolve to turn him out, but
ill find himself reduced to the condition
n which he can neither do with nor with-,
ut him.
"In short, the use of stimulant to the
rain -power brings on a disease in whose
aroxysins a man is no more his owa mas-
er than in the ravings of fever, a disease
hat few have the knowledge to understand
nd for whose manifestations the world has
o pity.
" I cannot tell you the dire despair the
ame upon me when, after repeated falls
ringing remorse and self -upbraiding to me
nd drawing upon me the severest reproache
f my friends, the idea at lest flashed up
n me that I had indeed becoine the victim
f a sort -of periodical insanity, in which
e power of the will was overwhelmed by
wild, unreasoning impulse. I remember'
hen a boy, reading an account of a bride
rty sailing gayly on the coast of Norway
ho were insidiously drawn into the re
stless outer whirl of the great Maelstrom.
he horror of the situation was the mo
out when the shipmaster learned that
e ship no longer obeyed the rudder; the
uelty of. it was the gradual manner in
hich the resistless doom came upon them.
he sun still, shone, the sky was still blue.
he shore, with its green, trees and free
rds and blooming flowers, was near and
sible as thser went round and round in
zzy whirls, past the church with its peace -
1 spire, past the home cottages, past the
wellings of friends and neighbors, pest pa-
nts, brothers and sisters who steed on the
ore warning, and Shrieking, and entieat-
g ; helpless hopeless, with lnittereess in
eir souls, WIth all, that made life lovely
near in sight, and yet cut off from it by
e swirl of that tremendous late
"There have been just such hours to me,
a
in which I have
the love of won:
the opportunit
and position an
seen the hopes of manhood,
n, the possession of a home,
es for acquisition' of name
property, all within sight,
within grasp, yet all- made -impossible by
my knowledge and consciousness of the
deadly drift and suction of that invisible
whirpool.
• "The more of manliness there yet is left
in man in these circumstances the more
torture. The more sense of homer, love of
reputation, love of friends, conscience in
duty, the more anguish. I read" once a
frightful story of a woman whose right band
was changed to a serpent, which at inter-
vals was roused to fiendish activity; and
demanded of her the blood of her nearest
-and dearest friends. The hideous curse
was unappeasable, and the doomed vietim
spellbound, powerless to resist. Even so
the man who has lost the control of his will
is driven to torture those he loves, while he
shivers with horror and angush at the sight.
"I have seen the time when I gave earn-
est thanks that no woman loved me, that I
had no power to poison the life of a wife
with the fear, and terror, and lingering
agony a watching the slow fulfilment of
such a doom.
"It is enough to say that with every ad-
vantage.of friends, patronage, position—I
lost all.
"The world is exigeant." It demands
above everything that every man shall keep
step. He who cannot; falls to the rear, and
is gradually left behind as the army m yes
along.
"' The onljl profession left to me was one
which coul avail itself of my lucid inter-
vals.
" The power of clothing thought with
language is in our day growing to be a
species of talent for which men are willing
willing to pay, and I have been able by this
to make myself a name and a place in the
world; and, what is more,, I hope to do
some good in it.

are fully appreciated and commended..
But no one who has read his books will
be surprised that the Sootchman who shows
such a keen insight into human nature, and
who, beneath the rugged exterior, sees
bright minds and pure hearts, should see
"good in everything." This Scotch parson
reminds tis of another noble son of Scotland,
a Presbyterian minister, too, the late Dr.
Norman,' Macleod, of the' Barony church,
.es
a
Glasgow, and editor of Good ° Words. Dr.
Norman was not considered very orthodox
in his day, but he greatly enriched Scottish
literature and broadened the trend of re-
ligious thought. _Perhaps in nany of his
characteristics Dr. Watson more closely re..
sembles a still greater and more brilliant
Scottish clergyman, the late Dr. Thomas
Guthrie, a truly heavenly man, a charming
orator, and the steadfast and self-eacrificing
fried of the poor and lowly, especially of
waifs.
His "Ragged.Schools" remain as a
meninnent to his energer and devotedness,
and- his book, "The City, Its _Sins and
Sorrows, as a stirring and petriotio appeal
on their behalf. In the early, sixties in
Edinburgh Dr. Guthrie was apotent force,
and, perhaps the most conspicuous pulpit
oratpr of that time.
But the man who in Scotch ecclesiastical
circles stood head and shoulders above his
compeers in those days was Dr. Thomas
Chalmers. He was not only a great scholar
and a great pulpit and platform orator, but
he was a great statesman '• that is, he pos-
sessed in extraordinary degree the qualities
that go to make up a statesman. His cap -
sail for work was marvelous, and his pat-
riotism . ardent but enlightened. Carlyle
described him as next to Sir Robert Peel,
"the ibeautifuletti old man I oversaw."—

A LEGACY OF DISEASE.
VEEBTANS OP THE WAR REPAID IN SUFFER-
ING AND DISEASE.
mummimma.••••••...4
For over Twenty years Mr. John Sherman
sought release from the Tortures of in-
fiamatory rheumatism.
From the Prescott Journal,
There is no "man in the to*nehip of Ed-
wardsburg who is better known than Mr.
JphiiSherman. He is one of the
many Canadians who at
of the Amesican rebellion
army of the North, a
exposures and hardships whi
during that trying and peril°
he outbreak
joined the
Id —to the
he, endured
s time, does
he owe the long years of suffering which he
has since undergone. The writer remembers
'seeing Mr. Sherman a few years ago when
he was so crippled with rheumatism that it
was impossible for him to walk, and having
heard that a (lure had been effected, deter-
mined to investigate the niatter for himself.
When the reporter called at Mr. Sherman's
home he blind him in the yard handling an
axe and chopping wood like a young man,
and he found him also quite willing to re-
late his trying experience. "I have suffer-
ed with rheumatism for twenty years," said
Mr. Sherman, • "and .1 have doctored with
four different doctors and yet I kept get-
ting worse and worse. I was bent double
with pain in my back and both legs were so
drawn up that I was unable to straighten
them, and for four months when I wanted
to move about I had to do so on my hands
and knees. I tried many remedies but got
no benefit and I had given up all bhp of be-
ing able to walk again. One of my sons
tried to pursuade me to use Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills,, but I refused to take any more
medicine. At last one day my son bought
home three boxes .of the pills, and after
they had been in the house for over two
weeks, I at last consented to take them,
but not because I thought they would do
me any good. Before they werogone, how-
ever, I could feel that my back was getting
stronger and I could straighten pp. It re-
quired no farther persuasion to get me to
_take the pills, and from that time on I be-
gan.to get better. Until now with the aid
of a tight cane, I can walk all over the farm,
get in and out of a buggy, and (to Most of
the chores round the house and barns. I
feet twenty years younger, and I consider
Dr. Williams Pink Pills the most wonder-
ful'medicine for Rheumatism in he whole
world. I began them only to please my son
and it was a motit agreeable surprise to me
when I found my legs limber, and my back_
gaining new strength. I can cheerfully
recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to the
suffering rheumatics of -the world.
An analysis shows that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all'
'the elements necessary to give new life and:
richness to the blood, and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia partial
paralysis, 'St.. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neti-
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the
after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the
heart, nervous prostration, all diseases den
pending upon vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic eryaiplas, etc.
They are also a specific for trouble peculiar
to females, such as !suppressions, irregular-
ities, and all fornes • of weakness. They
build uP the the blood, and restore the glow
of health to pale and sallow eheelts. In
short they effect a raolieal cure in all came
arieing from mental worry, overwork, or
eicesses of whatever riiature.

Your anxiety is for your
delicate child; the child
that in spite of all your care-.
ful over -watching, keeps
thin and pale. Exercise
seems to weaken her and
food fails ta nourish. That
child needs Scott's Emulsion
with the Hypophosphites
not as a medicine, but as
a food containing all the
elements of growth. It
means rich blood, strong
bones, healthy nerves, sound
digestion: No child refuses
Scott's Emulsion. ft is
pleasant and palatable.
