fence, with both standards short, picketed upon 
both sides, makes a strong and durable gate- 
having sixty braces instead of one or two, as 
upon ordinary gates—and the gate thus made 
cannot sag until these sixty braces are broken. 
It may be built at less than one-fourth the ex¬ 
pense of a common gate. It adjusts itself per¬ 
fectly to the ground, however uneven. It cun 
be made by any common laborer, under cover, 
in foul weather, or at any time when other la¬ 
bors are not pressing. It is the cheapest fence 
that can be made of lumber. When lumber is 
$10.00 per thousand, the cost of lumber and nails 
will not exceed forty cents per rod. It is read¬ 
ily built by any farm hand upon a cheap bench 
made for the purpose. The braces are so nar¬ 
row, and the spaces so open, that when anchored 
down, it is perfectly firm against heavy winds; 
and drifts of snow will not accumulate upon 
the leeward sido. 
Thus we liaye re-capitulated some of the many 
advantages which this fence possesses over other 
methods of fencing; not imaginary advantages, 
gathered from no real results; but from facts 
suggested by practical farmers scattered here 
and there, wherever our fence has been intro¬ 
duced. Our object, however, in presenting 
these facts for your consideration, is not to in¬ 
duce a purchase without a careful and satisfac¬ 
tory examination; hut to place before you 
carefully selected/acts in regard to an invention 
which we believe will f'dly satisfy a general 
and increasing demand. I'or further particu¬ 
lars see advertisement in this paper.” 
That this fence combines improvement in all 
these economical features in fence building, more 
than any other, will appear by a careful consid¬ 
eration of the following points :—Any timber 
can be used in the construction of this fence 
that is suitable for being sawed or cut—Oak, 
Elm, Basswood, Ash, Maple, Beech, Sycamore 
or any other. The tendency of timber to warp 
is no objection. Thus a large portion of timber 
hitherto worthless for fencing purposes is saved 
and made valuable for this important use. It 
requires only about one-half of the amount of 
lumber to make this fence that is used to make 
any other fence of sawed material, and less than 
one-tifth the amount required for a rail fence. 
It is a very strong fence. Being constructed 
upon the principle of the brace bridges, an or¬ 
dinary panel will support on its center the 
weight of four heavy men without any percept¬ 
ible depression. It also derives groat strength 
from the short distance between the hearings of 
the pickets against each other, and any force 
brought to bear upon any one small picket is 
resisted by all tbo pickets in the paned. Its 
strength can he increased to meet any necessity, 
by increasing the sire of its parts. It will with¬ 
stand strong winds without anchoring. It is 
durable. Being made of thin material, it will 
readily dry, and will not soon decay. It is more 
easily moved than any other fence known. This 
single feature of the fem L .e will save, on many 
farms, one-half of the in side fences. It can be 
opened at any point, as a gate; where it is de¬ 
sired to hang a gate upon a post, a length of 
The above engraving represents sections of 
Haynes’ Patent Brace Fence, an invention 
which we have heretofore commended to the 
favorable attention of those of our readers in ten- 
ested in fencing. An examination of several 
lengths of this fence, in use, has satisfied us that 
it possesses advantages and merits which must 
ere long render it popular among those wanting 
a fence that is cheap, strong and durable, and 
that may also he made either stationary or port¬ 
able. It will commend itself to such as want 
hurdles, especially. The patentee thus describes 
and enumerates the advantages of his invention: 
“ We desire to call the attention of farmers and 
others interested to a valuable improvement in 
fencing. Examine it in view of the great per¬ 
sonal interest you all have in an improvement 
such as we claim this to lie, and thus sat¬ 
isfy yourselves as to its merits or demerits 
The increasing expense of fencing, on ac¬ 
count of the growing scarcity of rail timber 
almost throughout the whole country is such, 
that any improvement in fence-making that shall 
secure greater economy in the use of rail tim¬ 
ber, or bring into use timber now worthless for 
such purpose, or that shall render feuce more 
durable, or more portable, or less expensive, 
must meet a great necessity that is every year 
being more seriously felt. Any improvement, 
therefore, that will secure greater economy in 
the use of rail timber, or bring into use timber 
now worthless for such purpose, make our fence 
more durable, more portable, or less expensive,

Tills may certify that I have been, since 1844, subject 
to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by a 
highly Inflamed condition of the lining membrane of the 
cavities of the head, producing a most distressing species 
of headache for clays at a time, wholly Incapacitating 
me from business, and during the paroxysms confining 
me to the bed. In some Instances the.Inflammation has 
extended to the teeth, occasioning toothache; to the 
throat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice; 
and twice It lias so affected the left eye as to confine me 
for a month or more to a darkened room. These attacks 
have been accompanied by strong febrile symptoms; by 
stoppages of the head, and lu the first stages by watery 
discharges from Uie no6e, and subsequently becoming 
acrid anil yellow, and towards the close of Tho attack 
becoming bloody and purtdent. I have tried medicines 
of almost every kiDd ; external applications to the head, 
such a, camphor, ginger, hot vinegar, muffs or some half 
doxeii kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, together 
with internal remedies, such a; alternatives, cathartics 
and emetics. The: e have produced uo change lu the oc¬ 
currence or character of the disease, and In most cases, 
with lilUo or no temporary relief. I hud come at length 
to believe Ihe disearti to to practically beyond either 
cure or material alleviation. 
Under these t-lreumslance 4 1 wn« led, some lire months 
ago, to make a trial of Hr. Llghthtll's treatment. Ills 
method at once approved Itself to my judgment, us slro- 
ple, philosophical and likely to he effective. Notwith¬ 
standing the disadvantage* under which he labored. In 
dealing wlUi a disease of such long standing, aggravated 
by nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly In¬ 
duced by the accidents of professional labor, I found the 
treatment, reaching the disease as It had never been 
reached before, and producing such a modification and 
alleviation of its character as 1 had supposed Impossi¬ 
ble. I ebronide the result thus. Although I have been 
situated several times so that 1 should formerly have be¬ 
lieved a severe attack of ray catarrh Inevitable,! have 
escaped thus far; the symptoms of threatened attack 
have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies 
employed by Dr. l.lghthlll, without the need of recourse 
to the old hot fermentations or emetic* i and the dis¬ 
charges from the head have resumed the original find 
uatural condIHon. I count upon a complete cure. That 
I iiavo been able, however, to obtain so material a relief 
Is tome a cause of gratitude. In that alone, 1 am re¬ 
paid for whatever the treatment may have cost me. 
I make this statement unsolicited, as a means of ac¬ 
knowledging my obligation to Dr. LlghUilll’s method of 
treating catarrh, and with a view to aid any who may 
have suffered from that disease, In forming a Just opin¬ 
ion of its merits, and its probable utility in their own 
case. FRED’K S. JEWELL.

BY ADELAIDE STOUT 
“Read !—will you read again?” As the 
thirsty lips bend trembling to the waters, so the 
speaker drank in the few drops from the Living 
Fountain that my woman’s hand proffered. 
Again I commenced the story of the Saviour’s 
mercy to the erring, at the words “ neither do 
I condemn thee.” We looked down on that 
sweet girlish face. It seemed transfigured with 
a strange beauty, as tbe soul grasped their full 
import. How I yearned to gather her as a 
child to my heart, and hush the great cry of her 
nature in its utter desolation. Of the stranger 
in our midst, the neighbors only knew she came 
from the great city,—came when all things 
were flush with life and beauty, gliding like a 
shadow across tho fields of light, avoided by 
staid matron and innocent maid. Little chil¬ 
dren, on their way to and from school, peered 
through the weather-stained pales of the fence 
surrounding the cottage, with curious eyes, 
starting with quickened pace down the hill¬ 
side if they caught but a glimpse of tbe myste¬ 
rious oue. Alas, that sin. should separate the 
woman’s heart from the love of the children! 
I was a privileged guest in the bouse of Uncle 
David,— that house so still it seemed as if the 
river of peace ran hard by the very door,—so 
still that the soul sitting in its depths seemed to 
enter a protest, and with its own cry would 
fain break the great calm. When seated at the 
breakfast table, I commenced giving an account 
of my morning’s ramble : throwing the family 
into a flutter of alarm as I described the brown 
house on the hill, w ind-shaken and uninhabita¬ 
ble as a last year’s nest,—spoke of the stranger 
dying in its gloom. Ah, it needed a skillful 
marshalling of ready words to meet the re¬ 
proaches that I knew were lying behind the 
masked battery of those thin lips of Uncle 
David’s! His feet bad trodden the path of 
duty till It lay hard and smooth under his feet. 
No danger ol' dashing them against a stone. I 
would rather have appealed to the very prince 
of sinners. Yet it seemed as if a faint murmur 
of sweet waters floated out with the voice lifted 
in reproach, as 1 told of the girlish face marked 
with Its tear traces, of the soul without hope— 
without God in the world; aud lu some way, 
in my earnestness, I betrayed that this was not 
the first visit to the lonely one. The family 
seemed abashed at my disregard of the strict 
proprieties of life. The Hands of Aunt Ruth 
were folded on the white cloth, as she sat re¬ 
garding me with as much of astonishment as 
ever ruffled her calm soul. Ah! they never 
guessed my “heart like muffled drum” was 
sounding a retreat, while my lips so bravely 
rallied its word.? to tbe sharp conflict. 
Well, uncle gave me up as incorrigible; or 
else, touched by my “o'er true tale,” I had 
gained a victory. That morning lie helped to 
gather the lemainder of the Bartlett’s, trem¬ 
bling in ripened beauty on the topmost bough 
over the south w indow, never questioning as to 
my disposal of them. Dear aunt looked in my 
face with a quick, deprecating glance, as 1 de¬ 
murely asked uncle to carry the laden basket to 
“ the corners,” taking it as a matter of course, 
when the dignified gentleman lifted it, and in 
silence walked by my side to the little stile at 
the cottage. 
I had always admired the integrity of that 
nature, but now there was a tender feeling 
stealing over me; it seemed as if I could sec the 
soft green creeping over the wall of adamant 
built round the fountain of love in that souL 
On entering, I found a change had passed over 
the young face; yet so unaccustomed was I to 
the presence of death, that I knew not that the 
shadow of his wing had already fallen over the 
pillowed head. But the sight of the dying was 
liner than mine; calmly she told me of victory 
over fear,—of hope through Him who came to 
call sinners to repentance. Then she asked me 
to place her babe where her eyes could rest 
upon it. Never shall 1 forget tbe concentrated

with triumph, but I had the grace not to betray 
that I knew of the victory. 
There is a plain tablet, with “ M ary ” carved 
in its whiteness, set among the dear ones w'ho 
sleep in the family burial ground. Uncle 
David Baid the little one should not pass 
through “the field to bury strangers in,” when 
old enough to tread the path to a mother’s 
grave. There is an atmosphere of joy about 
the house. Life pulses in the air in the old 
kitchen; I no longer fear to move lest I strike 
on right angles, nor feel as if a merry laugh 
would fly back to the covert of my lips. This 
summer, I told uncle I hud come to claim my 
bequest,—that I could now make a home for 
her. God forgive me! I was frightened at the 
look of agony that passed over his face. 
Am i so I left tho little one; she is hidden safe 
from the storms of life in the very “innermost” 
of that warm heart. Woe bo to careless lips 
that should drop mildew on the sweet flower 
that lias cast its roots like anchors in that home. 
Looking back on the changes time has wrought, 
I softly breathe, “God be thanked for tbe little 
child in the midst,”—for the little hands that 
have lead the proud man down to the level of 
human sympathy, and so much nearer the 
gates of heaven than they had attained through 
years of self sustaining. Almost unthinking, I 
had taken to my heart the little “stranger,” to 
And that I had “entertained an angel un¬ 
aware.” 
love and agony of that last look! Rallying her 
failing strength, she lifted the child,—there was 
so much of eloquence in that dumb appeal, that 
involuntarily 1 folded it to my yearning heart. 
A glad, bright smile, glorified the mother’s face, 
as she received ray assurance that I would do 
all I could for her little one. Then the soul 
passed from its house of clay, but the sweet 
smile of peace seemed to rest like a beautiful 
seal on the lips. And I thanked the Father 
who so tenderly had lifted His child to His for¬ 
giving, yearning heart. 
When I lifted the little oue to my arms, 1 had 
no thought of the future. Only as I neared the 
old homestead, was I painfully confronted by it. 
1 had suddenly dashed against a wall. Rallying 
all the forces of my nature to meet this new 
emergency, I tenderly lifted the sleeping little 
one toward Uncle David, claiming Lis atten¬ 
tion only by the utterance of “notes of admira¬ 
tion,told him that I bad brought it that dear 
aunty might try her skill in “roots and herbs” 
on the neglected child. 
Oh! the children, the children! They just 
lift their small hands, and scale with their little 
white feet the very walls of our being. Once 
under the sheltering roof, 1 was almost sure the 
child would make its own way to the heart of 
hearts of those who now seemed indifferent. 
And so I brought down the rude, wooden-top- 
ped cradle from the loft,—tbo cradle that fifteen 
years ago held “the little one who had never 
grown old,”—the little one who touched the 
rock of uncle’s nature, and ever since, from 
thence, hud gushed a clear, still fountain, un¬ 
seen by careless eyes; and yet 1 knew of the 
love that, awakened by the hand that so soon 
grew still, had made that stern soul bloom,— 
had made every child dearer for its sake. .A nut 
Ruth folded the child as softly to her heart as 
if it had drawn its life current from thence. 
There was a new light In her loving eyes, ami, 
at times, her voice chimed to the fall of tears, 
as she bent over the cradle. 
Ah! Uncle David, was It wrong to play 
“the peeping Tom,”— was it strange that a 
laugh of joy, and triumph, leaped from my lips 
a? I watched that proud nature swayed by the 
holy beauty of the bleeping child; and saw the 
pearl-like brow sealed with a kiss? Just a mo¬ 
ment, and then I turned away as having uo 
right to lftok upon this sudden unveiling of the 
soul. 
Tbe next morning, at breakfast, 1 innocently 
proposed to insert a few lines in the local paper, 
that the child might be provided with a home 
in a Christian family. It was wicked, perhaps, 
but I really enjoyed the awkwardness of uncle; 
tbe calm man was strangely moved. For once, 
the strong hand trembled as it lifted the cup to 
the lips. After breakfast, I was told that the 
cradle took up but little room; it might as well 
remain In the kitchen. My heart leaped up
