UNIVERSAL 
CLOTHES WRINCER 
In that moment my good angol whispered to 
me of peace and love; hut the angry passions of 
my own heart surged up and drowned the gentle 
accents. Pride had begun the work — would 
finish it. “'No mother, it is all over. I have 
nothing to say to him — nothing to hear from 
him," Ah how those words echo yet in my 
heart —those words that blackened my destiny. 
“ At least, come down and say good-bye to 
Maggie. She goes with Harry. It seems he 
has told his uncle about her, who has taken a 
fancy to adopt her, as he has no children of his 
own. I like Maggie, and shall miss her; yet 
we are not able to give her a finished education. 
And, as in her new situation she will enjoy 
every advantage of society aud education the 
city affords. I think we should not stand in her 
way. So with my consent, she goes this morn¬ 
ing. Hakky will accompany her to his uncle’s, 
where he will remain for a few days before he 
sails for Europe.” 
All this surprised me. Ah I it was as he had 
said—“ there was a brilliant future for Maggie” 
— the witch of other days. And then, for the 
first time, a dark pang of jealousy shot through 
my heart. Whai if, after, all he should love her! 
No, 1 wronged him — I banished the thought. 
There was a faint, knock at the door, and in 
answer to mother’s “corner Maggie came 
softly in. She kissed me, thanked me very 
sweetly for what I had done for her, bade me 
good-bye, and then she and mother went out. 
An hour afterward I heard the carriage roll 
away. 
That was five years ago. We have heard 
often from Maggie —of her progress in her 
studies, her charming home. Twice she visited 
us, but, both times, I was away from home and 
did not see her. To-day we received a letter 
from Harry Gordon saying that, he will he at 
our house May the twentieth—to-morrow—with 
his bride, Maggie Lee! 
It was my own pride sealed my fate. Tet as 
I look back upon the little tattered wanderer 
that came to our door seven years ago, it is hard 
to think that she may wear upon her heart 
the only love for which I ever cared. I have 
changed in those seven years. My girlish face 
is saddened, my girlish grace is gone, but I 
know to-morrow's evening star will look upon 
me a yet older, sadder woman than I now am. 
It will be hard to welcome my once betrothed 
to my home, and know that I am nothing to him 
now. It will be hard to greet as a sister, his 
girl-wile—wishing them both all joy — yet, God 
helping me, I will do it. 
u It may be from tbo morrow's gloom anil fear, 
Shall rise the promise of immortal cheer."

GEOGRAPHICAL ENIGMA 
« See! down the street the eoldiers come, 
Before onr door they’ll pass, perchance; 
My sister, do yon hear the drum? 
And see how gaily they advance? 
What handsome, gallant men they are! 
What loves in town they've left behind! 
We country girls, though simpler far, 
Amongst them, husbands perhaps may find.” 
Before sweet Rose, a bright brunette, 
A Comet, passing in his place, 
Cried out, “ In faith, my fate is set, 
I never saw a lovelier face. 
I count her charms, I mark her well: 
Yes, in a year this very day, 
I will return, if Bhot and shell 
Permit, and carry her away.” 
“Ah, Rose! that foolish speech you heard, 
I know it by your check’e bright bloom, 
And now without another word 
You backward turn into the room.” 
Since then, whene'er alone, sweet Robe 
Tells o’er the word3 she thought so dear, 
While for the unknown Comet Bows 
A nightly prayer, a nightly tear. 
A year of dreaming thns has passed; 
With earliest dawn onr Ross awakes— 
The day he fixed on shines at last: 
Forjliim her gayest, dress she takes. 
All day she waits, comes in, goes onb— 
“ Ob. hear you not the soldi er’^tread?” 
Paces in tears her room about— 
At midnight Bhrieks, “He's dead! he’s dead!’

This may certify Unit I ltave been, since 1844, subject 
to violent periodical attacks Of eaterrl), marked by a 
highly inflamed condition of the lining membrane of the 
cavities of the bead, producing a most distressing specie* 
of headache for days at a time, wholly Incapacitating 
me from business, aud during the paroxysms confining 
me to the bed. In tome Instances the InHanimation has 
extended to the teeth, occasioning toothache; to the 
throat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice; 
and twice it has so ntftsctcd the left eye as to confine me 
for a mouth or more to u darkened room. These attacks 
have boon accompanied by strong febrile symptoms; by 
Stoppages of lhe head, and ill the first stages by watery 
discharges from the tie.se, and subsequently becoming 
acrid and yellow, and towards the close of the attack 
becoming bloody and purulent. I have tried medicine* 
of almost every kind; external applications to the head, 
sue)] as camphor, ginger, hot vinegar, snuffs of some half 
dozm kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, together 
with Internal remedies, such as alternatives, cathartic* 
and eim-tics. These have produced no change In the oc¬ 
currence or character of the disease, and In most cases, 
with little or no temporary relief. I had conic tit length 
to believe the disease to ho practically beyond either 
cure or material alleviation. 
Under these cl rcunistnncoa I was led, some five months 
ago, to make a trial Of Dr. Llghll.lll’s Ireatmcht. Ills 
method at once approved Itself to iny judgment, as sim¬ 
ple, philosophical aud Ukely to be effective. Notwith¬ 
standing the disadvantages under which he labored,In 
dealing with a disease of such long standing, aggravated 
by nervous debility and dyspepsia, amt constantly in¬ 
duced by the accidents of professional labor, I found the 
treatment reaching the disease ns n had never been 
reached before, ami producing snch a modification and 
alleviation of its cuaructer as I had supposed impossi¬ 
ble. I chronicle the result thus. Although I hnve been 
situated sewers! times so time I should formerly have he- 
llcvrd a severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, 1 have 
escaped thus far; the symptom* of threatened altaek 
have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies 
employed by Dr. high thill, without the need of recourse 
to the old hot fermentations or emetics; aud the dis¬ 
charges from the head have resumed the original and 
natural condition, l couul upon a complete cure. That 
I have been able, however, to obtain so material a relief 
Is tome a cause of gratitude. In that alone,! am re¬ 
paid for whatever the treatment may have cost me. 
I make this statement unsolicited, as n means of ac¬ 
knowledging iny obligation to Dr. Light hilt's method of 
treating catarrh, and wltlt a view to aid any who may 
have suffered from that disea -. , in forming a Just opin¬ 
ion of its merits, and Its probable utility in their own 
case. FRED’K S. JEWELL.

slight? graceful form, though clad in tattered 
garments. Her straight hair, neither long nor 
short, hung in uncombed mats about her face — 
the little thin sallow lace, with the great eves 
looking so eagerly forth. She had no greeting 
—only a look half entreaty, half defiance —and 
seated herself upon the broad step of the piazza, 
looking hungrily upon the great lilac blossoms, 
I tossed her a spray, and I shall never forget 
the brightness that flashed into her little sad 
face. 1 knew from that moment that whoever, 
whatever she was, there was a spot in her soul, 
pure and beautiful, where the angels had writ¬ 
ten—“ Holiness to the Lord.” 
“ What is your name?” I asked, seeing she 
was not disposed to break the silence. 
“W itch! that s what granny called me, but 
my real name’s Maggie—Maggie Lee.” 
“ Where do you live then, little one?” I 
queried. 
“ Sometimes with granny, and sometimes un¬ 
der the stars.” 
“But where have you come from?” 
“I've come from Granny Gray’s, I’ve 
runn’d away— nam’d away for good,” she 
added with emphasis. 
Mother then coming out upon the piazza, 
said gently, “You have walked from the city 
I presume, and are tired; come in and you shall 
have some breakfast.” 
Mother had touched the right chord, as she 
always knows how to do, and she gently drew 
from the child her sad history—so much of it, at 
least, as she knew—which was a half-flown 
The broad Scotch, and the dislike of ladies of 
certain age, to let the public know how old 
they really are, i° well brought out in \lie fol¬ 
lowing:—“At the recent examination of Mr. 
John Logie, farmer, Murrayshall, on his sister 
entering the box to be examined, the following 
conversation took place between her and the 
opposing agent:—Ageut—“How old arc you?’ 
* O, weel, sir, I atn an unmarried woman, and I 
dinna think it richtto answer that question.' 
The Judge—* O, ves, answer tbo gentlemen how 
old you are.’ Miss Jane—‘Weel a weel, I am 
fifty.’ Agent—‘ Arc you not more ? ’ ‘ Weel, I am 
sixty.’ The Inquisitive writer still further 
asked if she had hopes of getting married, to 
which Mias Jaue replied—• Weel, sir, I winna 
surelly tell a lie; J hinna lost hope yet; and she 
scornfully added, but I widna marry you, for 1 
am sick and tired o’ your palaver already.’ ” 
It is a singular historical fact that ft confi¬ 
dential intimacy existed between King James II. 
and William I'enn, the founder of Pennsylvania. 
James once condescended to use a playful re¬ 
proof to the peculiarity of the Quaker, who, 
the first time he entered his presence after he 
became king, did so with his hat on. James 
immediately took off his own. “ Friend James,” 
said Penn, * why dost thou uncover thy head ? ” 
“Because,’ replied his Majesty, with a smile, 
* it is the fashion here for only one man to wear 
his hat.” 
Peter the Great, when at Saardam, wished 
to hear a rather famous preacher. The latter 
consented to preach before the Czar. Having 
ascended the pulpit, he said, with solemnity 
and dignity, “Think well; speak well; and act 
well. Amen.” Luther's counsel to a candidate 
was contained in these words;—“Go boldly into 
the pulpit, open your mouth like a man, and be 
brief.” 
A Mormon priest, named Nicholas, made a 
nerve and bone all-healing salve, and thought he 
would experiment a little with it. lie first cut 
off' his dog’s tail and applied some of the salve to 
the stump. A new tail grew out immediately. 
He then applied some to the tail which he cut 
off, and a new dog grew out. lie did not know 
which dog was which, at least Nicholas said so. 
A CONTEMPORARY tells the story of an editor, 
who, finding the body of a man hanging to a 
lamp-post one night, after Ids own paper had 
gone to press, cut it down, and carried it home 
to prevent his rival from publishing the news 
and was himself indicted for murder. 
“Have the jury agreed?” asked a judge of a 
court attachee whom he met upon the stairs 
with a bucket in his hand. “ Vis,” replied 
Patrick, “they have agraed to si ml out for a 
half gallon.” 
“Where are you going?” asked a little boy 
of another, who had slipped down on an icy 
pavement. “ Going to get up!” was the blunt 
reply. 
A gentleman presented a lace collar to the 
object of his admiration, and in a jocular way 
said:—“I)o not let any one else rumple it.” 
“No, dear,” said the lady, “I will take it off.”
