If you feed the brain cells on impure blood, you are sure to have weak, sluggish brain cells. If you pump bad blood into the lungs you will have weak lungs. Pump bad' blood into the liver, and the result is torpidity of the liver. Peed the heart on impure blood, and the consequence is a weak heart. Nourish the skin with impure blood, and the result is ail manner of unsightly skin diseases. The best of all known blood purifiers is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It e, makes the aprietite hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver active and fills the arteries with the rich, red blood of health. It is the great blood -maker and flesh -builder. It cures all forms of eruptive skin diseases. It cures eaS per cent. of all cases of 'con- suiuption. It cures bronchitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood, obstinate coughs and "mired ailments. It gives vigor and health to the muscles and activity to the brain. Thousands have testified to the benefits derived from the use of this wonderful medicine.

Dr. MoViow, Principal of the Presbyterian College, nye :- I am profited and greatly pleased vAth what I have read, and I intend next Monday to advise all our students to put it into their librariee sed to study it fieligently as affording rich in- struotion in pasterial theology and practical godli- ness. I shell read them a few passages that they may see that It is far from being dull or dry. Mr. N. Dryedale of Wm. Drysdale & Co., Publishers wia Booksellers, Montreal, says :-Ilev.

" It's eo warm to have so much said to one all at once," she adds, apologetically. " Let's sit. down and take it all in.." Whether the it refers to: the heat, or the view, or the substance of Katharine;s remarks, I don't know, though we both it down at her re- quest. It is a strangely impressive scene -ruins, ruins everywhere. . Ail around, purpling and crimsoning mountains, and in the dis- tance the gleam of the sea. Everything is quiet. The rush of life has suddenly cul- minated in a profound hush, and I find my- self in unconscious harmony with the Iran- ; qui' scene. The sun is slowly sinking in the west, and the rich glow of the evening touches the marble ruins with the magical coloring of light and shade. For the first time I realize I am in Athens -on the Acro- polis, " that peerless gem of Greece." I close my eyes, and over my senses steals softly a drowsiness, I think I would have fallen asleep but for a sudden energetic tap from Katharine. "Come," exclaims that indefatigable young woman, hooking the end of her para- sol in my belt, and trying to pull me to my feet ; " Aunt ilophonieba and I are going up on top of the Parthenon to see the sun set. We can have a much better view of it from up there. Come." "f I don't via* to come," I answered, -pet- tishly, unhooking her parasol and .giving it a p!ueh. " The view down here is plenty good enough for me. I ani happy where I am," and I lean comfortably back against a broken oolumn and indulge in a series of gei,tle yawns. " You are the laziest girl I ever saw, Pauline," says my cousin, turning away from me in disgust. " You had better have staid at home.' I watch them as they carefully pick their way among the crumbled ruins, until they disappear behind one of the pillars of the temple. Then I try to resume the thread of thought 1 bad had before Katharine broke in upon it with the end of her parasol. But it is of no use; the happy drearily thoughts will not return. I listlessly take up the guide -book which Katharine has left behind her, and carelessly turn over the pages. In doing so I run across something that arrests my attention, and I read : "To MAID OF ATHENS. The day is a remarkable warm ono in the month of April-warth even for Athens ; and Aunt Sophonisba, Katharine, and I walk slowly down through 'the dust and glare of the streets, seeking shade wherever we can find it, and stopping every now and then to look into some of the little Greek shops on our way to the Acropolis. - " Aren't we almost there ?" asks Aunt known stubborn look steals over her fat face. Because if we are not, I'm just going straight back to the hotel to finish my nap. It's too warm for sight-seeing." And she turn§ her sleepy eyes longingly in the direction of the hotel, lost to sight in the distance. "But we are almost there now, auntie," replies Katharine, soothingly. " And you certainly don't want to be in Anthens and not see the famous Parthenon. It is one of the most wonderful ruins in the world, and besides old ruins are teethetic." " But I 'hate ruins," whines Aunt So- phonisba, the stubborn expression deepening on her face. " You know I do ; they' al- ways have some contagious disease hidden in them. And as for being feethetic, am :esthetic enough." As she utters this last remark, the stubborn expression on her face dies away, and folding her fat hands, in- cased in white cotton gloves several sizes too large for her, she smiles complacently. I look at her as she stands there simmer- ing in the hot sunshine like a huge sal, and the idea of her being seathetic strikes,me so comically that I burst out laughing. trifle irritably, turning toward me as she speaks her handsome intellectuel head, that you would break' yourself of that in- sane habit of laughing at nothing. It seems to grow upon you. I don't really believe you ever have an elevating thought in your " When I go up -hill I have," I answer, demurely. Katharine Dinscombe and I, Pauline Dins- combe, are fikat cousins and orphans, and live on the /Etude= with a dietant relative of oure, a maiden aunt, Miss Sophonisba Rosner. At present we are travelling in Greece. Katharine is five years my senior, and has a guardian -two advantages she has over me which I can never make up my mind to bear with perfect equanimity. Aunt Sophonisba says that Mr. Lindley much in love with her. I have never seen them much together so I cannot vouch foi the correctness of A'unt Sophonisba's state- ment, though I should think he would be in love with her ; feu. she is a tall, handsome, dignified girl, besides being • exceedingly clever. And in story -books guardians al- ways fall in love with their warde. She ex- pects him to join us here in Athens. I won- der how soon he will be here ? I am just on the point of askina her, when Aunt So- phonisba says decidedly : " Now I'm not going another step ; too warm.". But Katharine is equally de- cided. " Come, take my arm," says she, " and we will soon be up the hill." , " Do," urge I, with a nod of encour- agement ; and I will push you from be- hind-" " Stop 1 Pauline, stop !" gasps Aunt So- phonisba, waving her umbr'ella wildly in the air, as she feels ' herself slowly but surely going up the Acropolis. For once Kathar- ine and act like " two souls' with but a single thought," and that thought to see our relative landed onethe top of the hill. So, in spite of all Aunt Sophonisba's remon- strances, we toil nobly on, Katharine pull- ing and I pushing, until we reach the heights of the immortal Acropolis. We feel it is not a very dignified mode of entrance to this sanctuaried city on the hill, where everything speaks of a classical past, but it is our only way. When we at last arrive at the top we pause to take breath, and then, passink through a rude wooden gate that adrare visitors to the summit, we come on a scene of inin and desolation, or, as some one has poetically called it, a scene of " Ts • thetic chaos." "Why, it's all in ruins !" says Aunt So- phonisba, in. an aggrieved voice, looking mournfully about her. " I -thought it was going to be something grand." " And so it is:" exclaims Katharine, en- _thusiestically. "Here, in this very spot where we new stand, probably,'Ageus, the father of Theseus, once stood looking for his eon's return ; and yonder ia the sea in which he drowned himself, named after him the iEgean. And over there," pointing with her guide -book to a rise of ground, " is Pentelicus, the mountain that yielded the marble of which the Parthenon is built." " Bat there isn't much left of it now, Kathie," ventftres my relative, somewhat sm, and glancing at the lofty ruins of the world famous temple with a certain ,mis- rust. " I'm pretty sure I've seen better " But think of all the magnificent associa- ions connected with it 1" interrupts Kath - rine, in another outburst of enthusiasm.

He eeerns to have some difficulty in getting one, for though many pass by; they are filled with people. Finally an empty one stops, and we get in, a " Hotel do iaakrande-Bretagne," orders Mr. Stanthon. The driver looks at us, nods grins, touches his hat, and whips up his hOrses. we drive along, " how did you happen to re- cognize me ? Did Katharine send you tO. look for me ?" not send me. I haven't yet seen her." " Haven't yet seen'her !" I repeat, with a stare of amazement. " Then what made you think of looking down into that grotto ?S"tanthon does not repl,y. immediate- ly. Then he Bays odowly : To tell the truth, when I elirned the Acropolis I had no idea you were in that grotto. I arrived at the hotel earlier than I expected this even- ing, and learning from the hotel clerk that the three American ladies for whom I in- quired had gone to the Acropolis to see the sun set, I very naturally followed. I arriv- ed too /ate to see your aunt and Katharine -they must have returned by a different rota -and as the evening was so lovely, I concluded to smoke a meditative cigar be- fore going back to the hotel. As I was do- ing so I heard a scream, and hastening to -the spot from whence came the sound, I be- held a maiden-" " That will do," I interrupt him, drawing myself up stiffly. "I am very sorry to havosgiven you so much trouble, I took it for granted my aunt or cousin had sent you; but I suppose they must have thought I had gone back to the hotel, as I ofteu do when I get tired of waiting for them." ' " A most unwise thing for a young lady to do it in a strange city," he say; with a "look of stern reproof. " If you were a ward of mine, I should feel tempted to lock you up in your room and keep you there until, you promised to 'behave better." " You wouldn't dare !" return I, defiant- ly. He does not appear to hear me, but is intently gazing over my head at the dis- tant hills. " Where is the hotel ?" I exclaim at length, after a long interval of silence. _ " It takes the longest time to get there I ever knew." " We certainly do seem to have come a great way," admits Mr. Stanthon. And he proceeds to inform the driver of the fact that we have driven beyond our destination. But that functionary does not appear to understand him, for he nods his .head and cracks his whip and urges the horses on faster. We were going at rather a good speed before. ., "He doesn't seem to understand you," I venture to observe, after Mr. Stanthon has tried to explain to him in four different languages that we have gone beyond the hotel, and all with equal onetime:me as the only result is a nodding of the driver's head and a oontinuous cra.cking of the whip. " You haven't tried Greek on him," I suggest, after a short pause, during which we whirl past dark trees, houses, hay- stacks, vineyards, and objects of every kind. " For a very good reason " he answers, with a touch of impatience fri hie voice : "I to laugh, but somehow the comicality of our situation overcomes me, and I do. The idea of two 'people being *hisked off against their wills, not knowing where they are going, or how to speak the language and stop the driver, is to funny and I am convulsed with, laughter. I turn to Mr. Stanthon for sympathy, but he evi- dently does not enjoy the joke, as he is star- ing somewhat anxiously toward the sea, of which we have now a glimpse in the dis- tance. As I look at his resolute face and bent brows I stop laughing. " Where do you think we will end up finally ?" I ask in alarm, as I notice the anxious eipression his face. "If this vehicle is not a fee -simile of the wonderful one -hose shay " he answers, somewhat gloomily, " I think we will end up, at Phalerum." four miles from Athens. It is the great prominede of Athens. In fact," he goes on to explain " to go to Phalerum, stroll up and down the beach, and then go into the open-air theatre and listen to the Greek or Italian music for an h6ur or so is almost the only summer 'amusement the Athenians have. I recollect now the hotel clerk told ime this was the opening night at the open air theatre." At any other time I would enjoy tliie im- mensely, but now- I gaze down in dis- tress at my bare foot and limp skirts, and picture to myself what a charming entree we will make on the Phalerum beach, and I am oonscioueof smiling a ghastly smile as the picture arises only too vividly . before me. Mr. Stanthon seems to divine my thoughts, for he tells me when we reach Phalerum may sit still in the carriage, while he gets out and finds some one who can speak Greek to the driver, and direct him to take us immediately back to the are now almost there, for as we rat- ong I can see, a short distance ahead of us, a great throng of people. The hum of voices blended with the sound of 'music strikes my ear, lights gleam from a long building, evidently the open air theatre, and in another moment we arrive at a stand- atiMiLr. Stanthon leaps down from the car- riage, and telling me not to be frightened, disappears in the crowd. FROM PAIN TO HEALTH. The Remarkable Case of John Henderson, of Deseronto Junction.

Is it possible Aunt' Sophonisba could have returned to the hotel, thinking I had gone bn ahead ? -I groan at the thought. Again I hear footsteps above. With hen& clasped around my knees, and tears of pain running down my cheeks, I sit and listen. I hear some one whistling, and looking up through a small opening in the vault, I behold a man's head peering curi- ouslY down. `• le any one down there ?" calls he from above. I don't know whether to answer him 1 or not. I am just meditating on the his eatures, and I recognize him as Mr. subj ot when he moves so I can distinguish Lindley Stanthon, my cousin's guardian.

There is co plete silence for a minute, and then I hea him trying to descend the ruined stair- fal I" And hurridly drawing my foot out of the fountain, I soramble up the best way I can I have hardly time to do so when he stands before me.

It will be remembered that during the past winter reference was several times made in the " Personal column of the Tribune to the illness of John Henderson, a well-known and respected farmer of the Gravel road, township of Richmond, about half a mile from Deeeronto Junction. It was said that but very little hope was en- tertained of his recovery, as he continued to steadily sink under the disease with which he was afflicted; Farmers coming in to Deseronto market; when asked how he was, shook their heads and stated that the Worst might soon be expected. That he sheuld have subsequently recovered was therefore a cause of joyful surprise to his many friends in this district. Hearing that his recoVery was alleged to be due to the use of Dr. William's Pink Pills, a reporter of the Tri- buno set out to discover • this rumor cnuld be authenticated. Having reached 1Mr.- Henderson's residence the reporter -found no one at home except his hired boy, who in- formed him that Mr. Henderson had gone with a load of grain to the flour . mill at Napanee. This was evidence in itself that Mr. Henderson must have greatly improved or he would not have undertaken such a long drive in the raw weather of early spring. The boy having said that his mas- ter would be back about -two o'clock, the re- porter waited for a personal interview. In a short time the team was observed coming along the road. When it drew up at the house Mr. Henderson, being told the ohject of the `repOrter's mission, stated that the rumor was correct, his- recovery was Un- doubtedly due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He said that about a year be- fore he had been taken ill and the disease assumed a form of sciatic rheumatism of a most.painful and distreesing character. The physicians in attendance did their best and would for a time succeed in alleviating the pain, and he would for short time regain strength. But tho disease would reassert itself, and he was worse if possible than be- fore. His whole system seemed to be per- meated with the disease which sapped his vital energy. He tried ever so many reme- dies prescribed by doctors or suggested by friends and neighbors. All in vain -he grew weaker and weaker and at last -de- spaired of life itself. He was completely worn out, found it very difficult to go as far as the barn, and was only able to move about a little when not confined io his bed. At this juncture, Mr. Ravin, the station master at Deeeronto Junction, whe no doubt recalled the wonderful cure of Me. Wagner by the use of the famous medicine, as re- ported some time since in the Tribune re- commended Mr. Henderson to try' Dr. Hama' Pink Pills and volunteered , to eend for a quantity if 'Mr. Hendereon would per- mit him. The sick men consented, and /Sir. Ravin procured for him a half dozen boxes. He tried a box, but with little diseernible effect. He, however, kept on using the pills, and after taking eix boxes, found that be was much improved. He got another supply and eontinued to improve steadily, the pain disappeared, he regained strength, and, as he expressed it, " I am now able to 'be about, feel quite strong, can attend to all departments of my work as well as ever, and I attributed it all to the use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pine." To the Tribune reporter Mr. Henderson appeared a strong, vigorous man, whom to see was sufficient proof of the story of his remarkable recovery. Maine Prohibition.„ A good deal is being said about, the fail- ure to enforce the Prohibition law. As soon as Neal Dow was dead the little dogs began to bark. Of course, the law never has been perfectly enforced, and it has nev- er been claimed that it was. The law against stealing isn't perfectly enforced. • Here are some facts about Maine : Before Prohibition there were in Maine seven distilleries and two breweries. Now not one of either in the State. Many cargoes of West India rum were imported every year. Now, not even one puncheon is received. Formerly, rumehops everywhere ; one in every hamlet. Now, in more than three- fourths of the State, having three-fourths of the population, the grogshop is unknown. An entire generation has grown up there never having seen a saloon or the effects of -one. The quantity of liquor now eold is not one twentieth of what it was before prohibition and the city is twice as large. The people used to spend every twenty years in stron drink the entire valuation of the State. Now, one million dollars will more than pay for all the liquor smuggled into the State and sold in violation of law. Maine saves annually more than twenty million dollars, which but for Prohibition would be spent, lost, wasted in drink. Mainesis now one of the most prosperous States in the Union. Before it was the poorest. There was dissipation, unthrift, and decay. Now everywhere ia seen thrift, industry, prosperity. In 1884, after an experience of prohibition for thirty-three years, that policy was put in the constitution by 77, 045 majority. Three Ships. Three ships there be a sailing Betwixt the sea and sky ; And one is Now, and one is Then, Andosesi is By and By. The first little ship is all for you - It's masts are gold, It's sails are blue, And this is the cargo it brings ; Joyful days withounlight glowing, Nights where dreams like stars are growing Take them, sweet, or they'll be going! For they every one have wings. The second ship It le all for me= A-saffing on a misty sea And out across th twilight gray, What it brought of ft and bleseing Would not stay for y eareising- Was too dear for myposseming, So it sails and sails away. The last ship, riding fair and high Upon the sea, is By and By, 0 Wind be kind and gently blow ! Not too swiftly hasten hither, When she turns. sweet, you'll go with her - Sailing, floating, hither, thither - To what port I may not know. Mushroom Tunnel. • A tunnel sixty feet below the level of the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland, conetructed for the use of the North British Railway, some fifty years ago, has been used for the last ten years as a place for the cultivation of mushrooms. It furnishes a constant tein- perature and an absence of light, both of which conditions are favorable for the growth of the mushrooms ; -and so success- ful has the propogation been that the Scot- tish Mushroom Company is said to be in control of the British market for cultivated mushrooms. It uses 800 mushroom beds, twelve by three feet, and the output at times amounts to 5,000 pounds of mush- rooms per month. The effect has been to diminish the amount furnished by the Wrench growers, who formerly controlled the English market, to less than a per cent. of the total consumption.
