the volume to all Interested In this branch of art. 
tiny laugh. “ I feel as if nothing can hurt me any 
more, Archie, I think my heart la dead." 
He looked down at her with a new anxiety in his 
eyes. 
“My heart la dead.” she repeated, wearily. “ I 
have no strength even to suffer now. I am only 
longing for rest. Do you think rest will come to 
me soon, Archie?” 
“Mypoor darling,” he answered, tenderly, “I 
do not wonder at. your depression, and 1 have so 
little comfort to give you. Only you must not 
wish to leave me, .Jean.” 
“You would not keep me here. Archie, if you 
love me," she said, with a little pale smile. 
Tie drew her closer to his side, smoothing her 
hair with tender hands,—To be continued. 
“ What did you do with the poison ?” 
“ i put It in my dressing-case, meaning to return 
It to its place; but the next day-” 
Her voice railed her at the remembrance of the 
next day s misery. 
Sir David’s face grew very grave as he remem¬ 
bered that they must have found It, there; but he 
was silent., smoothing with his hand the beautiful 
bowed head. _ 
“Keep a good heart, my child,” ho said, at 
length. “The hour before dawn Is the darkest 
hour, you know. I trust the day will break clear 
for you. You know we will do our best for you ?” 
<• Yes,” she said, forcing a smile—“ yes, I know 
that, 81 r David.” 
lie stooped his lips to her hand as he bade her 
farewell, and hl3 steel-blue eyes were dim with 
moisture as he left her. 
“ Poor child,” he said to himself; “ what a cruel 
late!” 
As he passed Into the governor’s room his face 
was very grave. Lord Ivor was there watting; 
Mr. Challoner, the governor of the prison, was with 
him. He was a line-looking man, grave In man¬ 
ner, but kindly; abonnle little girl of five or six, 
with big blue eyes and a mass ot golden curls, was 
playing about the room—his daughter. 
The Karl turned rather eagerly as Mir David 
entered, and Mr. Challoner rose to greet the great 
advocate, whom he knew well by.reputation. 
“ She Is bearing up bravely,” said the lawyer, In 
a few moments. “1 hope we shall prove her In¬ 
nocence, which, to me, Is as clear as the sun la 
heaven.” 
“ And to me,” said Mr. Challoner, warmly. “ I 
would stake my life upon her truth." 
The Earl held oat his hand In silence; It was as 
cold water to a thirsty soul to hear these men 
affirm her Innocence a> warmly, and hope sprang 
up in his breast. Her guiltlessness must be proved 
—It could not fall to be so; for she was Innocent, 
and Heaven 1sjust.

RECENT LITERATURE 
Winter and Iti Dilutees. By Hamilton Osgood 
M. D., of Boston. Publiflbed at Vhiladelphm by 
Lindsay and Blakesion. Price oil cent*. 
This is the sixth volume of the “American Health 
Primer” series which—In the language of the 
editor, Dr. w. W. Keen—Is designed to diffuse as 
wddely and cheaply as possibly among all classes, 
a knowledge at the elementary facts of Preventive 
Medicine, and the bearings and applications of 
the latest, and best researches In every branch 
of Medical and Hygienic Science. They are In¬ 
tended to teach people to take caru of themselves, 
their children, pupils and employes. They are 
written from an American standpoint with es- 
pccla' reference to our climate and mode ot life; 
each volume, If the subject calls ror it, being fully 
Illustrated, so that the test may be clearly and 
readily understood by any one heretofore entirely 
Ignorant of the structure and functions of the 
body. Tbe object of the series ls to furnish the 
general and unscientific reader. In a compact form 
and at a low price, reliable guides for the pre¬ 
vention of disease and the preservation of both 
body and mind in a healthy state.” 
The editor has shown admirable Judgment 
heretofore In the selection ot both writers and 
subjects and the work under notice ls If possible 
more excellent than any of Its predecessors. 
The author Is “dreadfully In earnest.” He pleads 
right heartily wltli his readers to avoid cn ors ot 
living; in fact, his earnestness ls a marked quality 
ot Lis writing. What would be thought of a law¬ 
yer who should urge on people's attention the 
beauty of the Golden Rule, and warn them that 
litigation was unnecessary ? Would not his dis¬ 
interestedness amaze us? And yet, here Is a phy¬ 
sician who, with all the might of his really able 
pen, pleads, urges and beseeches us to do away 
W 1th T he physician. 
The earnestness, strong common sense, lucid 
style and disinterestedness of the author appeal 
to the reader’s attention at every turn. As for 
the book itself, It tempts an Inordinate use of 
the scissors. 
The book ls divided into ten chapters, as fol¬ 
lows : 
I. General Considerations, 
II. Dangers Arising from Errors of Dress. 
III. carelessness and Ignorance In Bathing. 
IV. Inattention to Pulmonary Food. 
V. Danger from Over-heated Atr. 
VL Indifference to Sunshine. 
VII. Sedentary Lite and Neglect of Exercise. 
VI ll. The Dangers ol School Life in Winter. 
IX. Winter Amusements. 
X. Closing Considerations. 
Chapters 111. and IV. deserve the careful con¬ 
sideration ot every parent in the land. The ap¬ 
palling lgnorancd on tire subject of bathing and 
the Indifference to pure air are responsible for 
many painful diseases and much avoidable pain 
and misery. 
It any words of ours could Induce readers gen¬ 
erally to Invest In Dr. Osgood's book, we should 
say them, reiterate them, and print them in Italics, 
for the work deserves a place in every library in 
the country.

upon a basis wholly his own, and the result was a 
comp’etn cure. Reaiizimr the remarkable nature of 
his recovery, he has given the remedy to the public 
for nine years past, and the number of remarkable 
riiri“ effected fct simply wonderful. From the infinite 
number mi cau only mention a few. among them the 
following: 
Miss Annie lljwen, of this citv. S* T arrabee c t , enrue 
to Dr. Sykes for treatment after bavin? vainly tried 
Coin-ado and numerous physicians. Her palate*as 
entirely gone, anil a hole ns large as tbe end nf the 
thumb was eaten through the veil ai ore A bo’e was 
also eateu clear tlirough tbe nose. In addition to this 
her lungs w«we w eak and Bore: she bad a Fad rough, 
and no appetite. Uy six week’s treatment the holes in 
the palate and nose were courJettdy healed, the breath 
was sweet, there was no corn'll or soreueee of the lungs, 
and she had trap-ed pounds in flesh. 
Mrs Nancy Mitchell, of Juniata, Neb., has just mads 
the following statement: 
1 came to Cbiciuro from Juniata. Adams Co., Neb. 
and jmtmvee'f under Dr Sykes' treatment for a Can- 
rerous Catarrh, which had eaten a hole through the 
roof of mv month as large its a-ifl-cent niece,and had

It was tho clay before the trial, ancl Jean Blair 
had been live weeks con lined to a solitary prison 
cell, for the assizes had been that space distant 
when she was arrested. Through the kindness 
ot the governor, she had been spared some annoy¬ 
ances and discomforts; but do care could save 
her Horn many, and she had felt her Imprisonment 
acutely ; It could not but be so. 
hire, who had never known any want of freedom, 
felt stilled and suffocated la her restraint, and she 
relink'd fiercely against the iron hand which kept 
her there. Momeiimesln her darkest moment she 
had regretted that she had not yielded to that 
dreadful temptation, that she had not taken (he 
poison and so saved herself; but the feeling was 
quickly repulsed, she would bo pallent she would 
trust; and sometimes the terrible misery she suf¬ 
fered made her cry out, at others, t he beautliui 
resignation to the will of Him who doelhall things 
well made Mr. Ohalioner'a eyes grow dim wUh 
tears. 
Mho had books and writing materials provided 
for her, but she made little use of either, although 
at limes she'tried to read; it seemed as it tue 
trouble which had fallen upon her had contused 
the bilght, clear Intellect; and sometimes, in mo¬ 
ments of Irrepressible w eakness and rebellion, her 
mind had seemed to wander. She was not without 
visitors either. Tho Earl came dally; once his 
sister had come, but her distress at Jean’s position 
had been so overpowering, that she had fainted 
away, and Jean was too unseiilsh not to refuse any 
lurLher visits from her. Hollins was wltli her con¬ 
stantly, and her presence gave Jean very great 
oonsolatlou. d he woman s love was strong and 
faithful, aud her education had not rendered her 
so sensitive to outward things as poor, pretty Lady 
Florence’s. Her calmness and cheerfulness, loo, 
helped Jean greatly; for Lord Ivor, though he was 
brave in her presence, could not hide the marks 
which suffering and anxiety had graven on his 
face, and his vlaits give her a pleasure evenly 
mLxed with pain. 
The long confinement was telling on Jean’s 
strength; she was very weak and languid, her 
sleep was trouuled, she arose as fatigued lu the 
luoi nlng as she baa been over night, and it was an 
effort to drag ffer weary Uuibs across the cell 
when she went to meet the Earl when he came to 
pay his daily visit, striving bravely, poor child, to 
hide her languor and debility from his eyes— 
striving vainly but bravely, for his eyes saw, and 
Ills heart ached bitterly. 
The dusk was gathering around her—It grew 
early dusk 111 the Cell-hut, the setting sun, ere It 
sack io rest, sent a last red glow at the little win¬ 
dow and brightened the dying day. Jeau was 
standing by tue window, in the sunlight, leaning 
her white brow agalunt tbe cold bars wearily, 
while Urge tears lose lu her eyes and fell heavily 
upuu her clasped hands, lears of angulsu unutter¬ 
able, v inch she was too weak to force back. 
steps came along the passage, tho key grated la 
the look, but she did not turn round; she kuew 
the step which entered the room, and she did not 
wish her lover to see tho tears. 
“ come and watch the sunset," she said, holding 
out her hand, but still keeping her XaCC to the win¬ 
dow. “ l here is such a beautiful * golden glory ’ 
in tho sky Archie.” 
He came to her side, aud holding her tenderly 
within ills arms, looked ror a moment down at her, 
then turned his eyes away to the “ golden glory ” 
In the rar west Jean leant her head against him 
wearily; the support of his arm was pleasant to 
her in her weakness, but her eyes did not move 
from, the sunset, which she saw but dimly through 
the welling tears. 
“llow are you to-day, my darling?" he said, at 
length. 
“ Very well,” she answered, gently. “ I have 
been expecting you, Archie; you are lace to-day.” 
“l have been wltu sir David,” he answered. 
“ lie ls very hopeful for to-morrow, Jeanle.” 
She smiled a little sadly. 
“Aud you, are you hopeful, my dearest?” he 
said, softly. 
“I think I am past hope,” she answered, with a

Walter Color Patullng. By Aaron Henley. Edited 
by Snaau M. Carter, New lorn: (j. 1‘. i'utuam’B 
Sous. Brice fid couts. 
From tho author's preface we quote; 
“Thirty-seven editions having already passed 
Into the hands of the public, v\ 111, 1 think, be a suf- 
ffcient guarantee thut the contents ot my little 
Work have been fully appreciated and acted upon. 
Although the pages are lew, yet they are the result 
of a long experience; while they explain, in as 
simple a manner us possible, the whole system of 
Painting In Water Colors, showing the means by 
which eff ects are produced. 1 he several Tables of 
Colors will be found to comprise combinations of 
every tone and tint requisite for the representation 
of nature under all circumstances. Attention to 
detail, and a careful reading ot each progressive 
step, will, I think, ensure success lu the execution 
of a Water color Drawing; but 1 l must ever be borne 
lu mlod that, without practice aud study, It will be 
impossible to arrive at any degree ot proficiency, 
even as regards manipulative dexterity, in so beau- 
tit ut a branch of the Fine Arts, as painting in 
Water Colors.” And in the introduction the editor 
says: 
Tub Intention of this system of Water Color 
Painting is to direct tho student In this branch of 
Art, by pointing out tffe means by whloh the sev¬ 
eral combinations of color are produced, as well as 
to explain all t he manipulative processes exhibited 
in the present advanced state of Painting In Water 
Colors. 
Assuming that a Knowledge or the proper ma¬ 
terials for Water Color Painting has been obtained 
from other sources, (See Itowbotham's “ Art of 
Painting In Water Colors”), and thatlhe reader has 
m idc himself familiar with tlio management Of 
tbe pencil, so tar as outline aud form arc con¬ 
cerned, (St*© “The Art of Sketching from Nature,” 
in this Series of “ Art Hand-Books,”) we will, after 
a few words upou •• dutsh ’' and upon the princi¬ 
ples and the necessary requirements of Art gen¬

branch of PalnLing, going through its several 
stages of progression, and endeavoring at the same
