An open letter lying on the white deal table was the silent cause of the grief of her who eat with bowed head and °laved hands on her ehair--mother's chair—near the open fireplace, and of the anger of him whose tall, rugged figure—straight even with the forty years' (he was nigh on sixty) plowing and reaping on the stony lands of Duddingstone—nearly touching in its height the oaken peat -tinted joists of the mud - floored, strawrthatched cottage of the-Mao- Ivore. Such is he, Donald Maolvor, and she that weeps is hie wife, the giver to him of three lade and two rosy oheeked lassies that are out at service, for everyone has to work • for health (no small gift) and not siller, 'has ever been the fortune of the Mao - Ivor.. " Never let him darken oor door again," he was eaying, when the door opened, and a young man, about 25, that a. glance would tell was a son of him Who spoke with the ring of anger in his voice, entered, and striding over to the mother, put his arms around her, and said : " Dinna grieve, mother, clinna grieve ; I will go and see Ferguson to -morrow, and try to make a bargain vfith him to keep Frank out o' " Out o' jail !" exclaimed the elder. " Let him go to jail, after robbing the man who, was ever my friend." " Oh ! dinna be sae harsh wi' the laddie, moaned the mother: "he didna mean to steaU• ()oriels are,to blame." " To blame !" burst in the father, " to blame for saving an' .sorapin' (=eels to gie him a good education, to make a gentlemen o' him ; him that has turned oot a—na, 1'11 no' say the vile word." And the old man threw himself on a chair. As David(for that is the name of him who has jusb entered) tells his mother of his' plena for saving his brother from the guard- ed walls df the Calton jail, and from the dieerace Of having' their good name dragged through the gutters] of crime, it will be well to explain the shadow that has entered tho home of the AlacIvors. , Frank, the youngest of the lads, and the great hope of his mother (her " clever lad- die,") the pride of the family, the one they had slaved and hained for—even down to his youngest sister, who had given nearly elle her sma' earnings to help make her brother a gentleman—had fallen. He had gone through the college with honors, and had attained a. start in life as an accountant with Ferguson & Fleming; ehip builders and ship owners, in Edinbore'e eeaport—Fergu- son being an old friend of his father—but had listened to the wily tongues of gambling companione. Finding his earnings insuffi• cient to satisfy the cravings ofthe gambling table, he had lent a willing ear to the tempter, and had forged a check for ;£200 with the name of the firm. It was detected, and he was arreated just as the last shilling was being drawn with a professional's ease into the wallet of the winner The open letter on the table was from hir. Ferguson, telling of their clever laddie's (while. It was a sad bloweand fell heaviest on the mother. For. her sake David, the second boy, who was a joiner, determined to try some way or other to save Frank. Robert, the oldest son, we may explain, was already irarried, and had hie own caree. l) The following morning a young man, `whose ruddy cheeks made the seniormember of the firm sigh for the gladsome past that he had spent among the Lanarkshire hills, was admitted to the private office of Mr. Ferguson. " I am David MacIvor," he explained, as Mr. Ferguson, a ' pleasant looking old gentleman, turned from his desk towards him. " Indeed 1" exclaimed the old gentleman. " I am afraid; if you hay come about your brother, as I suppose Fr nk ie, that I have little good to say of hi , and can do but little to save him." " Oh ! yes, you can, Mr. Ferguson ; for poor mother is breaking her heart over the disgrace ; and sir "—and as the young man spoke he stretched himself to his full height —" I have come from Duddipgstone, where I am counted a fair mechanic, to offer my strength and skill—for I have ne money— to your firm until every pehny of 'the £200 is paid back with interest. I will work night and day, God willing, if need be, if Only for mother's sake you will use your in- flueuce to get my erring brother his free- dom. I ken," and David got back to „ the Doric, " the laddie mann hae fallen beneath tehaemeg.ireur and excitement o' the evil "I admire your spirit, young man, and far both your father and mother's sake would like to be lenient with your brother, but for his own good and as an example to others, he must be puniehed." " Oh ! but I ken,"'said David, " he has already gotten aelesson that he will remem- ber for life ; an' ihie no' like you were gaun to lose onything. Two hundred peuuds may be a sina' sum for a big firm like yours ; to us it is a fortune ; but my labor an' skill you will get tell every penny is paid." ." Well," seid Mr. Ferguson, " I will speak to Mr. Fleming about it. In the rneanbime you had better see 'your brother. Ile is in the Calton jail.'" David found his brother sullen and seem. ingly indifferent whether he was punished or not. " What cen J do ?" he said. " If I am let free nobody will employ me ; my character's gone." "But to think -of mother and father and all of us. Mother is breaking her heart over it, and you have. fobbed father of the peace of mind and ease he ought to have in his old age, after slaving to go/a us a start in life."

Tt is a singular thing that in the popular view of disease the interde- pendence of the seeeral organs of the body is lost sight of. The heart, for example, is diseased and it is treated as if it were entirely separated from, and 'independent of, every other organ. The fallacy of this opinion shown by the cures of heart “trouble,e liver e trouble," kidney "trouble e and other so-called e troubles," effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- ery. Primarily the e Discovery " is a medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and blood. But it cures dis- eases of organs seemingly remote from the stomach, because these diseases have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and nutrition. ttI doctored with three different doctors for weak heart, but they did me no good," writes Mrs. Julia A. Wilcox, or Cygnet, Wood Co., Ohio, Box se. it I was tm tired and discouraged if I had had my choice to live or die I would have pre- ferred to die, My husband heard of ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and lie bought a bottle.

It's fusel' and mysel' only thett'll be punished for my wrong doings," impatiently muttered Frank, as he turned away. "No, it is not you that'll be punished most. Think of mother I Think of the bright future she had pictured out for yon. Think of the luxuries she denied herself to give you a better education than the rest of her bairns. Then can you say, ' It's 'lived' an' mysel' only that'll be puniehed ?' Oh I Frank, Frank, be a man in the future, for you can if you will only ask help from Him whom we were taught to look up to at mother's knee. I feel sure Mr. Ferguson will get you clear." And David, with bowed head, left hie broeher and went to the lodging which he had secured in the morning. Next morning David, who had been wait- ing for nearly two hours behind the big gates leading to bhe works, entered the office behind Mr. Ferguson, impatient to know the firm's conclusion. " I see you are on deck in good time,"• said Mr Ferguson, as he took his seat after handing a phair to David. " Well, Mr. Fieming and I considered what you were saying yesterday, and have decided to take you at your word. Sit down sit down ; no need to thank me until you 'heats all. Re- member you are loading your yoUng shoul- ders with no light burden. The highest wages we pay journeymen joiners is thirty shillings (one peund ten shillings) a week so even if you could pay one pound a week it would take you four years. No, we want ro interest. As to'your brother, Mr. Flem- ing and I think that the best step he can take is to enlist. He is a well built young man and any regiment will be glad to have him. Six years' service—so much the better if it is foreign service—will make a man of him. Your mother will be prouder of him than she ever was before. This mistake of his by that time will be forgotten. So you can begin work here nexe Monday. Now write your mother and eines her burden a little. Your brother will be free this after- noon, on condition that he is to don the red c o 'e' graep which David gave Mr. Fergu- eon's hand told that gentleman of . the thanks which the former fain would have ex- Preseed had his tongue been free from the overflow of a grateful heart. The next Monday David carried his tools into the shipyard, and Frank learned the duties of -the raw recruit along with others of the awkward squad on the'Casele Esplan- ade. David had been over two years in the shipyard, and, owing to his skill and the large orders his firm had received and turned off the stocks in that time, he had managed to pay motethan half of .the two hundred pounde ; and to cheer uPhis mother a wee bit he had also given her a present at New Year's time. Mr. Ferguson had been quick to note the skill of the young Mao - Ivor, and gave him many a good paying job (forpieceavork was done largely at that ttime) that required an active brain and a steady hand. Wages were reasonably good, and both masters and men eeemed contented, but in a large workshop or yard there are always 0138 or two lazy grumblers that create mis- chief. Wellington Kilday -thought ehat he had been born for a noblet cause, than to plane a ship's deck. He was a poor work• man, and seldom got beyond the job he at/ present labored at. Over a .gill stowp one eeening he waxed eloquent before a dozen mates, as he told how he had figured up the great wealth that was rapidly flowing into the coffers of the firm and the miserly drib- bling,s that came to him and hie fellow woekmen as a return for the amount of skill and -sweat they had given and Ghat had madethe yard to rank amongst the first in shipbuilding: And from the discontented growlings of Wellington Kilday came a strike that nearly closed the gates against the woodworkers for thee years They sent in a demand for a pennyemore an hour, and an increase of 30 per cent. on all piece work They might have got a small raise had they placed the demand in the hands of any one except Kilday, but he, proud of being ' a leader, with the stride of a stage king and the manners of a Hottentot, presented him- self as the represencative of the United Shipwrights before the green table of the unapproachable Fleming.. This was a mis• take to start with, for Mr. Fleming was no man to mingle with his workmen. He was brought up to believe—for his family boas: - ed of their blue blood—that he was doing a noble work of charity to the working clasees when he became a partner of a shipbuilding enterprise. " Well, sir !" thundered 'Mr. Fleming, - " what is your errand ?" With hands holding back his coat eo that the tinselled red badge of office that told ' people that the wearer was " President cf the United Shipwrights," could be seen by the haughty Fleming, Wellington Kilday spoke : " I am the leader of my fellow tradesmen, and in their name I come to de. mend a rise of one penny an hour, and 30 per cent. on all piece work ; and if we don't receive a favorable answer by the epd of the week—" and here Kilday stretched himself in the glory of his feeling, " I will call every man out." " How dare you enter my private office on such an errand ? Have you read the rules ? Are you intoxicated, speaking to me in that way—me that is a benefactor to you and all your kind ? Here, Graham, show this fellow out, and sid the office boy to sweep out my room." A d the peer man fell back in his padded thair exhausted, muttering, " They will demand carriages next, to take them to and from their w oTrkh night, at a special meeting called by Kilday, he told ha scarlet colorings of his unsucceseful errand. " Insulted me in. your cause, but made the pampered aristo- crat tremble in le chair." It would take a long time and m oh space to tell of Kilday's speech ; but it g hied him the vote of the meeting, for in o e voice they proclaimed a strike unless F rguson and his haughty partner granted heir demands. The next Mon ay every woodworker ex- cept apprentices nd David Madvor, waited outside the big g tee for the granting of the rise that came n t. I eay all but David and the apprentices. David, as a member of the union, had b en called en Kilday to tell him—as he was ot the'meeting—the de- cision of his fellow tradesmen. David told him—and the wee he drove a nail to the head in the oake bulkhead convinced Kil- day that he meaPt lit—he had no reason to strike, andebesidee, he had an agreement with the firm, whieh on the honor of a man he Wite bound to abide by, that made it impossible for him to join with the strikers. ' Blackleg and epy, ' muttered Kilday, as he sprang up the oompanion•way leading from the cabin where David was working ; but David heard him not. It takes a good deal of courage to work in a yard where your brother tradesmen are out on strike, and David found this. Where he lodged many a taunt was thrown out regarding blacklegs and spies, and going and coming from the yard he had to run the gauntlet of heavier mulles than sneers and vile names. But David -kept going and coming, unarmed and undaunted. Before a week of the strike had passed many a one wished that they had had the nerve of Da‘v` iYclOu are wanted by Mr. Fleming at once," said one of the clerks, as David npeares. ed the office on hie way back from din- " Ah, yes ; you are the young man we pleased to grant a favor to concerning his brother " said Mr. Fleming, as David en- tered the dreaded room of the green table. " Yes," said David ; " and I have been ever grateful for it." And he crimsoned to the hair roots with the ramemIlmce. " Yes, yes ; I am pleased to know that I have one tradesman that is grateful,1 and respects those who give them the opportun. ity to earn the bread and butter thab keeps them and their families alive." And pro- ,vidence in broadcloth wiped the moisture afrom his gold rimined glasses. Again David crimsoned, but with another feeling. " Now," said Fleming, "I have called you in here to my private office,"•=and the great map spelt " My " with a capital M on a sheet of paper that lay on the table before him—" I have called you in to give you an opportunity to show your gratitude." And then Fleming paused, seemingly waiting to give David a chance to say something, but the broad shouldered MacIvor only closed hie lips the tighter. " Let me see, you owe us yet nearly one hundred pounds. New to be plain with you, as you must know, eince your foolish mates went out on strikfe our work has been dropping behind and we Must have our orders completed by the end of the year, or we have to pay a forfeit of over one hundred pounds a day. Now we want you to go with Captain Shirlaw, of the Fionat to Copenhagen and help to pick out amongst the Danes about forty good workmen. Shipbuilding is dull there just now, and it will be charity to employ them." " Sir "—and David stepped nearer the table—" Sir, you say I owe you one hun- dred pounds, and your claim is just and right ; and you ancl'Mr. Ferguson I thank with my whole heart, and also in the name of my father -and mother, for it would have broken their hearts to have had Frank go to prison branded as a thief ; but am I not, ;with what God has been good enough to en- dow me With—a skilful eye and cunning hand—repaying you ? Aye, and surely with good measure, repaying you according - to our agreement. Grateful for the oppor- tunity to work It's you that ought to be grateful to the Great God, whose eharitable hand has kindly fallen Upon you, giving you the privilege—man's greatest privilege—to open a way where your humbler brothers may toil to earn, as you 'say, 1' their bread and butter.' Bread and 'butter, many are thankhil to get bread alone. No, sir • little as I admire such men as Wellington whose glory is but to agitate, and little as I sympathize with strikes, which are but shorter roads to poverty and degradation, yet as long as a man favored with wealth, a shrewder eye, and bleesed with talents to become a leader in the building of cities or ships, or handling the affairs of nations, for- gets that the same Supreme Hand that made him Also the hewers of stone and wood and diggers of ditches—your humble brothers --so long will there be strikes and discontent. A man crushed and humbled by the scorn of his brother, master or leader, is a willing tool in the hands of the agitators. No, sir ; I will work and plan for you at my trade until every penny of what I owe is paid, but when you ask me to beoome an agent to lead in foreigners to fill the benches of my countrymen—a rene- gade to my kin and yours—I say no." " You are hasty, young man, Mr. Fere guson already warned me of your pride. Think what our offer is ; remember how it will benefit your mother and father. Not only will we give you a receipt in full for what you owe us, but we will give you fifty pounds -besides, and Haddin's place as fore- man. Haddin is going as ship's carpenter on the Sterling Castle. Think • you. may ever have such a chance in your 'lifetime. I am sure Kilday or any of his followers would jump at it." " Then," said David, " you had better get Kilday, for all of your wealth could not employ me in such a cause." At that moment Mr. Ferguson entered, and, nodding to David, took a seat beside his partner, who, turning to him, told him of what he thought was David's foolish- ien8"ildlly to David, that none of your trade. am sure," said Mr. Ferguson, smiling mates would refuse such an offer, even though in doing so they harmed you." " You have never tried them, sir. You judge us all by Kilday.

Large lumps or ab- scesses formed, so that it was with great difficulty and considerable pain that I was able to stool. At this severe crisis I purchased a box of Dr. ChaSe's Ointment, but I had little or no faith in it, as I had tried various remedies be- fore and to- no purpose. "Now, imagine how great and joyous was my surprise to find that. Just the one box cured me, so that the lumps disappeared, and also the external swelling.

Not only that, but I think, if you were to call them into your office and treat them like men regarding their demands, they will leave your office tp return to their benches, you and them both eatisfied wich the interview. I know that by thin time they have become disgusted with Kilday." " Very well," said Mr. Ferguson, " we will think over it. You can return to your FwleramkAin"fige,171 but seemingly a thinker." tempered young man," said Mr. " Yee," said his partner, " if such men would be leaders we would have fewer strikes ; but it is ever the Kildays, grum- blers against enterprise and thrift, whose tongues wag, leaders but to air their vanity. They imitate the very powere they war . against. Such men as MacIvor, if they eserike, it is not in sympathy with such as -Kilday, but in the spirit of principle. Now suppoee we have a talk with Chieholm and Kennedy ? They have been in our employ for over ten years. I know how to:take them. We can, without even you losing any dig- nity, meet them half way in regard to their demands per hour any way. We lose noth- ing in comparison to what we we are sure to lose if the strike continues much longer. It will take a month to initiate a gang of Danes, besides driving good workmen away from our yard." " Give into them !" growled Fleming. " Have your own way, but I believe in starving the striking passion out of them." As David ran up the gangway a rivet red from the coals struck him a burning blow on the cheek ; looking up he saw it came from the tongs of Kilday's brother, who was a rivet boy, The gleam of the boy's eye did not ease the pain any, but opened David's eyes to new dangers, and it was no surprise for him to find a plank that he was using for scaffolding over the main hatchway nearly sawn in two. That would have given him a fall through two decks to the hold amonget a lot of pig iron. It was little wonder that David was in fighting humor when the six o'clock bell rang. Whatever possessed Kilday—who liked to urge others—to ahake his fiat in David's face as he passed through the gate on his way home, no one ever found out ; but shake it he did, calling him vile names at the time. It was an evil moment for Kilday, tl for Dav d's fist shot straight for the nose of the agi ator, landing with such force that he went staggering amongst his conapanions, bleeding and gasping like a stuck pig. A cry of fair play name from the crowd, and a way was cleared for them, but Kilday had slunk aWay with the blow, his lege proving wiser than his tongue. But ib turned the tide of feeling, and while seine hooted the runaway leader, others cheered David ; and that night. when meeting being opened without Kilday—it the Urited Shipwrights gathered—the was voted that Chisholm and Kennedy try to get a hearing with Mr. Ferguson and set- tle the strike, even though they should have to go back at the old rate of wages. And thet is how it was that next morning, when hisholm and Kennedy presented " The very men I wanted to see." David, themsel es at the office, Mr. Ferguson said : unawar7, had cleared a path that opened to peace, f r ever man went back to work the next day with the rise of one halfpennyean hour on time work, the pieoe Work renaiin- ing as i was. * * . * '''' " Sit own, MacIvor, sit down," said Mr. Fergus° to David a week after the strike had been settled. " Haddin sails Tuesday, and I think you had better take his place. -Chisholm WWI telling me about you and Kilday, :Now we want a man that can command the respect of his brother work- men, and I think we have found one in you. The reet of the money you owe to us—here is a receipt for the whole—we will just call 'it articles, tobind:you to us till you geteome- thing better than we can offer.

A writer in the London England, Spect- ator, in an article on the *essex shepherds, gives tevo_ anecdotes, the authenticity of which he vouches for, illustrative of etc) ignorarice and eimplicity of these ragtime One of them while tending hie sheep was ap- proached by a candidete for the county council and was asked for the promise of his vot . " Vote ?" inquired the man of flocks, °moving his hat to stimulate the flow of his ideas, " vote ? What be that, h'weve ? " Do you take. no interest in politics, that you don't know what a vote is !" re orted the other. A ray of compre- hension pierced the shepherd's brain. 1 I knows the or -nary sort ef tick, but I've niver eard o' these polly-'uns Moor. I spwoee 'tis a fresh kind.' Here is the sec- ond : ,A. doctor, well known in the district, was riding across a lonely stretch of down when he came npon a fold, and stopped ta: !(=hen e a few remarks with its guardian. Eliciting the information that the latter in- habited a desolate cottage far from any other dwelling, he inquired how he and his family managed to obtain medical attendance in time of illness. Why, sir," replied the shepherd in all good faith, " we dwun't ha' no doctor ; we just dies a nat'ral death." Receipts From the Veldt. The following " Receipes from the Veldt" are placed by Tommy Atkins (chef) at the disposal of our readers : L'eTrek ox stew—Take an ox about 50 years old—belonging to some one else—kill it if it is not already dead, and cut it into four or more parts. Boil in a pot of black, muddy water over a green wood fire for an hour and a half. At the end of that time pull it out and wait for a sandstorm ; then serve up. (This is thought an excellent dinh here.) " 2. Sponge cakee—Take a- few handfuls of Indian meal and enough dirty water to make a stiff paste (no fat is needed), and put on a piece of tin or a shoVel over the fire. They will be • ready for use when cooked through. (I have jumped at the chance of having some of these cakes since being here.) " 3. Porridge—Take a few handfuls of Indian corn and put in a corn beef can ; fill up with water and boil till soft. Put a bit of salt in—if you have any. " I have tried all the above and can say they are good feeds when nearly starved to death."—London Outlook. • PAIN'S CELERY COMPOUND CURES CHRONIC AND COMPLICATED CASES OF RHEUMATISM. It Banishes Every Trace of Poisonous Acid From the Blood. HAS MADE MORE PERMANENT AND WONDER- FUL CURES THAN ALL OTHER MEDICINES IN THE WORLD. All rheumatic sufferers dread the variable and trying weather of October and Novem- ber. Sufferers from the various forms of rheumatism—articular, muscular, inflam- matory gout and lumbago—suffer more in- tensely in the autumn months. Chilling winds, damp air, cold rains and night frosts, aggravate exciting misery and agoey. Thousands of victims of rheumatiem have come back from summer health resorts oe'y to find themselves as badly tortured toot crippled as they were before they started for their false Meccas of health. Miteral springs bathe and massage systems can never drive out the morbid principle of ter- rible rheumatism from the blood and joints. Careful medical testa and a long experi- ence prove that Paine's Celery Compound is the only agent and medicine for the cure of all forme of rbeumatiem, and suaceeds when everything else fails.

Its marvellous virtues will meet your case and do for you what it hal done for others. Mrs. J. Vince, Barrie, Ont., says : " I am happy to say I have taken Paine's Celery 'Compound with great results. I had sciatica so badly that I eould not turn in bed or walk without help, and for a per- iod of three weeks was helplessly laid up, and suffered pain that ab times was almost unbearable. " I tried many medicines, but all in vain. I was afterwards recommended to try Paine's Celery Ccenpound. I used six bottles, and ameentirely cured and enjoy good health. I take great pleasure in recommending the valuable medicine that cured me." Vhackeray's Opinion. " The little ills or life," says Thackeray, " are the hardest to bear. What would the possession of one hundred thouaand a year, or fame or applause, avail to a gentleman who was allowed to enjoy them only with the condition of wearing a shoe with a cou- ple of naile inside it ? All happiness would disappear and plunge into that oboe • all life would rankle around those nails." And as little things have the power to annoy, they have also the power to comfort and help. One day a visitor to the school, finding Sydney Smith during the play hours absorb- ed in the study of Virgil, gave him a shit - ling, and with it a few words of sympathy and praise. " Clever boy, clever boy 1" exclaimed the stranger. " That is the way to conquor the world." Such unlooked for encouragement broke like agleam ot sunshine across the dreary and troubled life of the neglected boy, and roused 'within a capable heart the laudable ambition of distinction. Sydney Smith never forgot that 111E113, and to the end of his days praised his deed.

The reeulte of their investigations may be summarized as follows : 1. That the sugar beet crop is deolared by every farmer interviewed to be the best paying crop in the districts visited, and the annually increasing aoreage is evidence of their sincerity. 2. That the crop is not specially exhaustive of the soil, inasmuch as it has been grown, in some oases, two or three years in succession on the same fields, with eatisfactory results. 3. That the crop grown in a proper rotation heumatism • is Uric Acid in the blood. hInhealthy kidneys are the cause or the acid being there.
