many babies are born into the world with
the seeds of death already sown in their
tittle bodies. If a woman would have
healthy, robust children, strong and able
to withstand the usuallittle illnesses of
childhood, she must "look before she
leaps."
If a woman will take the proper care of
her health in a womanly way, during the
period of prospective maternity, she may
protect herself against muc'h, pain and suf-
fering and possible death, and insure the
health of her child. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is the greatest of all medicines
for prospective l mothers. It acts directly
on the delicate and. important organs that
bear the burdens of maternity and nutkes
tthem strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic.
It allays inflainmation, heals ulceration,
soothes pain and tones the tortured nerves.
It banishes the usual discomforts of the
expectant period and makes baby's advent
to this world easy and almost painless. It
insures an ample supply of nourishment.
It is tbe greateet known nerve tonic and
invigorator for women. All good dealers
sell it. Say "No" and stick to it when

The little girls were greatly astonished to
find a different eecort awaiting them, on
their exit from the vicarage, from that
whiah had brought them thither.
"You see, here I am," announced the un-
abashed 'culprit of the morning. "1 said I
should drive you, so I am here to do it.
You got the start Of me in settings off-"
"Why, we were, later than we said; ever
so much later." i .
"You were earlier than I could get up,
anyway. And I had to change, and to sit
by the fire a little bit and hear what your
sister has to ' say -bat I 'pelted down
when I did set off, I can tell you ; and here
I am. Up you get; that's ' right. We'll
scud over the snow, -like lightning. Now,
then, Taffy, look alive. I am going to give
your sister a turn when we get back."
"Why, it will be neatly dark when we
get back !" exclaimed little Louie, holding
on with both hands, - :
But Jenny gave her a plach, behind Mau -
rice's back. - • ,
"What did it matter about the dark, you
very silly girl?" said she severely, after
wards, the two being established en the
watch, and the sleight having gone' "forth
again. "People like that," with burning
emphasis, "don't mind the dark. They
like the dark. It is only not dark enough,"'
as in the dim twilight the little car was
seen approaching, and clear, ringing voices
heralded the return of the deeply interest-
ing pair.
"Its all right," added the little girl to
herself with a long -drawn sigh of satisfac-
tion and relief. "All -all right. She
wouldn't have gone out with him if it hadn't
been; and she wouldn't be talking like
that, and laughing like that -oh, and I do

CHAPTER V.
GENERAL THISTLEBLOW'S DISCOVERY.
" Well, well, well ! Ha 1 ha 1 ha 1 That
is the best thing I have heard for a long
time 1 'Pon my word, that is amusing !
Caught in his own toils, eh? Caught just
where the shoe will pinch like red-hot
pincers.! Poor young fellow," cried a mock-
ing voice full of delighted malevolence, as
two elderly gentlemen stood in the window
of a St. James's club. "Poor boy 1 Bless
my soul! I never was more taken back in
my life. I thought if there was one being
on earth unlikely to be tripped up in that
way, it was my most respectable young
• ward, Tom Barnet. That he should be
harbouring the biggest scamp in England !
Its -bless my soul 1 -its the best joke out !
Ha 1 ba! ha 1"
I thought it devilish queer at the time
that he could tell us nothing about this
Stafford," chuckled General Thistleblow's
companion, who was none other than the
Colonel Jessop already introduced to our
readers. "Clarke and I said so to each
other. No one knew where Stafford hailed
from. He was not an old schoolfellow; he
was not a Cambridge man; and he was no
relation. I said to Clarke, What on earth
is his claim on Duckhill?' There isn't
shooting here for every waif and stray whom
Tom Barnet chances to pick up ; and if it
turned out that Stafford was a crack -shot
as I suppose it would have done -all the
more reason for not asking him. Let him
go where there is better sport, or more of it.
Duckhill is only so-so."
"Hum 1 So-so? I don't know about
that. I expect if we could have got at it,
we should have been very fairly satisfied.
I have shot the Duckhill woods for many a
year past, and the bags never disgraced us.
For my part I had no objection to Tom's
asking whom he chose, and fully expected

to find one or two young fellcws of his own
age ; but what I can't get over is the joke
of his having innocently invited down to
that quiet old place one of the fastest men
•
going. I thuik 1 see our demure young
landlord's face when he finds out what he
has done."
"You are sure he did it in ignorace ?"
" Ignorance ? Bless my ton', Jessop, you
don't know the boy. He is simply eaten'
up with pomposity and -and priggishness.
Mind you, I am not saying a Word against
the lad "t -with a twinge' of compunction;
"he bits always behaved etvilly enough to
me ; I have not a complaint to make; on
the whole 1 -yes, it is only fair to say I
have a sneaking regard for Tom ; if he
would but knock about the world for a year
or two, and have the starch taken out of
him, he might quite possibly turn into a
very decentefellow. It is the confounded
,solemnity with which he treats every trifl-
ing difficulty thatecours either in his own
or his sisters'. paths that staggers me. He
still thinks it his duty to come to me for
advice every now and then, you know.
'Pon my soul, soinetimes its all I can do to
give it without bursting our laughing in his
lugubrious.face."
• I expect you think he would have been
moue the worse for advice in the present in-
stant:tee-however ?"
"That's it. He comes to me to know
about all sorts of things I haven't the
slightest interest in, aud don't care the
scratch of a pert about, and when he has
anything in head that I could help hirn
with he is as close as a house. Of course I
ought to have been consulted about thie
confounded shooting party. I should have
looked all round, and gone into the matter
with the greatest care; and we might have
had a very nice little time of it, even if the
weather did play old Harry with the'shoot-
ing. I could have got -let me see "-mus-
ing, then with a swift recollection that he
certainly would notthave got the auditor
whom he was addressing, I could have
got more than enough of the right sort, any-
how. Instead of which poor Tom goes and
makes a mull of it with Clarke and his wife
the Inderwicks, Wholtlebury,those two
Vernon., and Maurice Stafford," each name
in suceessioa pronounced with its due con-
tempt.
"My wife has been in bed ever since she
came home from the cold she caught on the
journey back," quoth Jessop.
"No wonder. A mon-country journey
In December is a deuced unpleasant perform-
ance. I thought I was in for something
myself -but it passed off."
Anyhow it was better than staying on.
To look out of one's window day after day,
and see nothing but drenching ram and
clouds almost sweeping the ground, is
enough to give -anyone the blues."
"They are frost -bound at Duckhill now,
'which is worse." .
"1 don't know about that. There will
be some cocking in a geed frost."
"And that's what eomeone else is think-
ing," said General Thistleblow, significantly.
• Eh ? Oh, that fellow Stafford. Yes,
confound him, he has got the best of tee in
that respect. But he has had to pay for
it. A week -of Duckbill in driving sleet,
with not a soul to talk to but four children,
and nothing to do but play at ball with
them with the billiard balls," cried little
Jessop with a mahatma cackle. " I say
even woodcock shootipg would be dear at
the price." -
"Pooh 1 pooh ! You forget ; you and I
are old fogies, Jessop. Stafford is a young -
star himself. What's his age ? We'll say
eight. and -twenty. Eight -and -twenty to
thirty. When 1 was thirty I should have
asked for no better luck than to be shut up
in a country house with a Pretty girl like
Icla.Barnet ; and you may take my word for
it, Maurice Stafford knows how to improve
such an opportunity." •
"He didn't seem that sort of • man,
either," said Jessop, musingly.
"No indeed, that's the beauty of it. He
• didn't seem in that or any other way to be
the man we now find he is. Ha. ! ha ! ha !
It makes me laugh whenever I thiek of it.
At this very moment I daresey if we could
look in at Duckhill we should see , Tom and
his sisters setting off for church "-(it was
Sunday morning) -"and the accommodating
Stafford trotting alongaide, prayer -book in
hand-Ida's prayer book, you may believe,
"Oh, come, Thiatleblaw, draw it mild.
They don't get Maurice Stafford to church
by all accounts. He would be mad with
fright at the idea. Flirting with a pretty
girl may be all very well, but not church-
going; no, by Jove 1" shaking hie head
sagaciously, "not church -going."
"1 shouldn't mind wagering what you
like that if anyone goes, Stafford goes.
Bless my soul! would he be such a fool as
to affront the whole set of them -to say
nothing of losing a nice walk, and all sorts
of chances -just because he mayn't happen
to be up in theology? He has been at
some decent school, I suppose. He must
remember what he did at Eton, or at Win-
chester."
"It would puzzle me to remember what
we did at Eton."
" You ? But you are an old reprobate;
Stafford is a young one. It can't be such a
very great effort of memory to look back a
dozen years or so. On, to church he goes,
you may believe ; and poor honest Tom and
that nettlesome Iola to boot, are so taken
witti their new friend, and so edified by his
piety-"
" ! ha! ha It's too bad ; 'pon-my
word, it's too bad."
"What's too bad ?"
"Someone ought to tell them, Thistle -
blow."
"Someone will tell there , fast enough -
when the time comes. The lame for telling
has not yet arrived. Wait 'a bit; I shall
have a jubilant letter from my late ward ac-
companying a leash of woodcock and a cou-
ple of wild duck. He will tell me that he
and Stafford shot them on such and such a
day. He thinks he has got a great gun in
Stafford, and that it will be a crow over
me'if he can show that Stafford got some
shooting after all. Then I come down upon
him. I say, My dear fellow, as your late
guardian, and your father's old friend, will
you take a well -meant hint without being
offended?' Then I launch out and tell him
all that you and I already know about this
sly reynard who has got - inside his quiet
barnyard ; oh, I will make his eyes grow
round, I promise you. And I must own it
will give me some pleasure to do. so. In
any discussions we have had hitherto, some-
how or other it has always been Tom who
has taken the high ground ; and what with
his long face and his scruples of conscience
I was often on the point of chucking up the
guardianship in old days. I felt myself in
such a confoundedly false position. It
should have been 1 -not he -to raise serer>:
les and talk about conscience. What had a
boy in his teens to do with a conscience?
He ought in common civilty to have left
that sort of talk to older people."
"His conscience will sing rather small
now, Thiatleblow."
"If it doesn't," Thistleblow laughed, "1
know whose fault that will not be, eh, Jeff -
sop Oh, I have him now ; I have him on
two counts, as the lawyers say. First, I

and second, What the deuce did you mean -

Concerning Clothes.
Of all men tramps and peers -care least
about their appearance. This indifference
to public opinion' of one's clothes is -indeed
an enviable state to reedit. I have always
liked the story of the old fellow who at
home dressed badly because every one knew
him, and badly when he travelled because
no one knew bim. He was one of the few
men who have had courage to dress to please
themselves. Moat of us dress to please
other persons; and, even then it must be
added, rarely succeed. The late Professor
Fawcett objected on principle to make him-
self uncomfortable by dressing for dinner,
but he had a very charming way of disarM-
ing criticism and propritiating his hostess.
lie had upstairs'he would Assure ber,an ex
cellent dress suit for which he 'had paid a
high price, and if it would be any satiafao-
tion to the company his secretary would
bring it down and display it. But one has
to be a Professor Fawcett to carry off such
an idisyncrasy as this. At many dinner
parties the guests have been asked as much
on account of their clothes as their wit -the
man without a wedding garment in the par-
able apparently had no compensating dis-
tinction of intellect. A good dinnery-etory
tells how Dean Stanley once arrived ,at
table with one side of his, collar flapping in
the air. During the meal his hostess asked
him if he was aware of its condition, and if
he would like any assistance in rectifying
it. "Oh, no," he replied genially ; it broke
while I was dressing. I don't mind. Do
you?" These are the men one envies.-
Cornhill Magazine.
•
Truth.
Adhere always rigidly and uncleviatingly
to truth ; but while you express what is
true express it in a pleasing manner. Truth
is the picture ; the manner is the frame
that displays it to advantage. If a- man
blends his angry paniens with his search
after truth, become his superior by sup-
pressing yours and attend only to the just-
ness and force of his reasoning. Truth,
conveyed in austere and abrimonious Ian -
page, seldom has a salutary effect, since
we reject the' truth because we are prej-
udiced against the mode of communication.
The heart must be won before the intellect
can be informed. A man may betray the
cause of truth by his reasonable zeal, as he
destroys its salutary effects by the acrimony
of his manner. Whoever would be a suc-
cessful instructor must first become a mild
and affectionate friend.
•
Charity in Judging Character.
Hasty judgment of the -actions of others
is dangerous and often unjust. We meas-
ure too much by some superficial appear-
ance and condemn hastily, when, if we but
knew and understood the motives and ma-
sons, we would warmly approve. We some-
times say of some one : "That pain, sorrow
or loss has not deeply affected him." But we
do not know. It is like the death of a few
of the soldiers in front of a regiment. The
broken ranks close up again into the solid
phalanx and the loss is not apparent There
may be no disorganization, no surrender, no
craving for pity, no display of despair. It
is like the calm, dazzling play of the waves
warmed by the morning's sun after a night
of storm and disaster. There is no sign of
the wreck; the tide has carried the debris
away far out on the ocean ; the treacherous
water has swallowed all signs and tokens of
the night' awful work. We see only the
fairness of the morning, not the suffering of
the night. Let Us be charitable in our
judgment and condemn not when we do not
know. -William George Jordan, in Ladies'
Home Journal.

Dear Sirs :-
Some time ago I was treated by one
of our best city doctors for continued bleed -

su jected to weakened my stomachso that
nothing I could eat would agree with me,
and I could retain nothing . but bread and
milk which was my chief diet.
I tried a bottle of your Slcian's -Indian
Tonle, and at once began to improve, and
it has made a permanent cure in my ORM

THE PECULIARITIES OF THIS
WORD.
No Name on Earth So Famous-
• No Name More Widely Imi-
tated.
No name on earth, perhaps, is so well,
known, more peculiarly constructed or more
widely imitated than the word DODD. It
possenea a peculiarity that makes it stand
out prominently and fastens it in the mem,
ory. It contains four letters, but only two
letters of the alphabet. Everyone .knows
that the first kidney remedy ever patented
or Sold in pill form was named DODD'S.
Their discovery startled the medical pro-
fession the world over, and revolutionized
the treatment of kidney diseases.
No imitator has ever succeeded in con-
structing a name poisoning the peculiarity
of DODD, though they nearly all adopt
names as similar as poseible in sound and
• construction to this. Their foolishness pre-
vents them realizing that attempts to imi-
tate increase the fame of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Why is the name, " Dedd's Kidney Pills"
imitated ? As well ask why are diamonds
and geld imitated. Because diamonds are
the most precious gems, gold the meet
precious metal. Dodd's }Kidney Pills are
imitated because they are the most valuable
medicine the world has ever known.
• No medicine was ever named kidney pills
till years of medical research gave Dodd's
Kidney Pills to the world. No medicine
ever cured Bright's disease except Dodd's
Kidney Pills. No other medicine has cured
as many cases of Rheumatism, Diabetes,
Heart Disease, Lumbago, Dropsy, Female
Weakness, and other kidney diseases, as
Dodd's, Kidney Pills have. It is universally
known that they have never failed to euro
these diseases, hence they are so widely and
shameleesly imitated.

-The Dingley tariff law will not be
changed in any of its customs features at

The Thurlow was built in Harrington,
Maine, and hails from New York.

-A very pleasant affair took place at the
Collegiate Institute, St. -Marys, on Tuesday,
December 21st. Mr. S. J. Stubbs, B. A.,
English and commercial master, retires at
the close of the year to accept the position
of classical master of the Smith Falls high
school. Mr. Stubbs had been but a -year
and a half in Se. Marys but in that short
period he has won a warm place in the af-
fections of the students, and this was made
manifest by the presentation to him' on
Tuesday of a highly complimentary address
and a handsome presentconsistingof a silver
inkstand, atampholder, blotter and gold
pen. Mr. Stubbs made it suitable and feel-
ing reply. • The best wishes of St. Marys
Collegiate and St. Marys citizens generally
accompany him to his new field of labor.
