Cathartic Pills Combine the choicest cathartic principles in inedirine, in projiortion.'i aceiirafely ad- Justed to secure activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. They are the result of years of careful study and practical ex- periment, and are the most efiectual rem- edy yet discovered for diseases caused bv dsranReiiient of the stomach, liver, and twwpU. which require prompt and effectual treatment. AvEu's Pills are speciallv applieabln to this ctasw of diseases. They art directly on the digestive and assimi- lative processes, and restore regular healthy action. Their extensive use by physicians in their pi jictice, and by all civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Being compounded of the concentrated virtues of pnrelr Tcgetabie siilmtancea. they are positively free from calomel or any injurious properties, and can ba ailmin- Istercd to children with perfect safety. Atkr's Fills are an effectual cure for Coostipittion or Costiveness, Indiges- tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, FonI Stomach and Breath, Dizziness, Hea4*che, Loss of Memory, Nambneaa, BUIousneaa, Jaundice, Rli«ainatl«m, Kruptlons Mid Bkte BlsMtaea, Dropay, Tumor*, Worma, Nenralgta, Oollc, Gripea, DktrrhoBtL Dysentery, Ooutl Piles, Disorders of the lAy^r, and all other diseases resulting from a diaordeNd ataie of the digestive apparatoa. As a Dioaer Pill thay have no equal. While gentle In their action, these Pills are the moat thorough and seafehhtg cathar- tic that can be employed, aii4 sever give pain ualesa the bonreja are teflamed, and then their influence irbealinK.

And then she went, bamming a tone, and entered the study, and stood before the grim old baronet. He shut and locked Uie door, took a seat, and pomted imperatively for her to take another. All the time her eyes followed him with a hsrd, cold glitter, that seemed to eet his teeth on edge. He looked her full in the face, and plunged hpadlong into his subject. 'Harriet Harman â€" Mrs. Vavasor â€" whatever name yoo please, yon moat leave this house at oiice 1 You hear â€" at once ' 'I hear,' she laughed. 'It would be a dull intellect indeed, my dear Sir John, that eould not fail to compre- hend your ringing military orders I must go, and at once. Now, that is hard when I made op my mind not to stir until after Christmas. Your honse is elegant, your cook perfection, yoar wines unexceptionable, your purse bottomless, and your triends emiuent ly respectable. I'm not used to re- spectable people, nor full purses, and I like Scarswood. Now, suppose I in- sist upon Bpendiiig Ghristmas here af- ter all ' She folded her arms, and looked at him exactly as she had done on the night of her arrival.

Two little shabby portmanteaus had held Mrs. Vavasor's wardrobe last September â€" now four large trunks and no end of big boxes, little boxes, and hand bagi were filled. And with the yelkiw radiauoe of the noonday snnsbine bathing park, trees, turrets, and stately mansion in its glory. Mm. Vavasor was whirled away to Castle- ford station. Sbe lookel bick as the trap dew throngh the great gates, and under the hoffe Norman arch. 'A fair and noble inheritance,' she said 'too fair by far to go to her mother's daughter. Your is sky with- out a cloud, now, but when I next come, my brilliant, happy, haughty Katherine, look to yourself. This morning's work is your doing â€" I am not likely to forget tliat.' Mrs. Vavasor was gone. The news falls liDon Mr. Peter Dangeifield Hbe a blow. As suddenly and mysterious- ly as she had at first api^eared, she bad vaniahed, and where were all her vague promises and beirildering iusin- uations now Katherine was to be married, the wedding day was fixed, he had beeu bidden to the feast. She had insulted him, scorned him he must pocket hi:) rage, and Uve without his revenge. Hbwas not prepared to break the law and commit a murder, and how else was he to pay off this iusoleut heiress, aud her still more insolent livor? Mrs. Vavasor was gone, aud all his hopes of Vbbgeauoe went with her. Bomethiue might happen, to be sure, between this and the wedding (laj. Gaston Dantiee might be shown up m his true colors, as the anprmoi- pled fortuue-huuter he was. People die suddenly, too, occasionally. Kath- erine might break her neck even, in ' one of her mad gallops over highways aud byways. While there is life there IS hope. He went to Scarswood pretty fre- qoently, saw tbe lovers together hap- py andbandiome, made himself agree- able, always in a cousinly way, and the week sped on. The trouueaii was ordered, all was joy and gaiety at the house. Christmas week came and nothing had happened. He sat moodily alone one evening â€" Christmas Eve it chanced to beâ€" be- fore his solitary bachelor fire, brood- mg oyer his wrongs. His solitary, bachelor dinner stood on the table â€" he had been invited to a,brilliant din- ner party at Scarswood, and hoping against hope. Nothing ever befell this iuBolent pair â€" Katherine grew happier â€" brighter â€" more joyous every day, and that upstart. Daotree, more good- looking. Nothing happened luck was dead against him nothing would ever happen. This night week was the wedding night â€" and what a life spread before those two in in the future. It drove him half mad to look at them at times. And he â€" he must ao on grubbing like a worm in the clay, for ever and ever. Katherine and Kath- erme's children would inherit Soars- wood, and all hope was at end for him. He was only a rickety dwarf. Neyer while life remained would he forget or forgive thoee ornel words. 'If I live for sixty years to oome, I'll only live in the hope cf paying you off, my ladv,' he muttered, clinching his teotL 'it's a Ions lane, indeed, that has no turning I Curse that Mrs. Va- vasor I If she knew anything, why didn't she tell me ' There was a tap at the door. •Gome in,' he called sulkily 'it's time yon came to clear away that mess.'

The Christmas festivilies at Scars- wood were very gay indeed, and Mr. Peter Dangerfield missed a yerv pleas- ant evening by staying away. Per- haps, though, on the whole, he enjoyed himself quite as much in his bachelor lodgings at Castleford, UU-a-Ute with Mrs. Vavasor. The long drawing rooms were ablaze with light, and fes- tooned with ivy and mistletoe, and gleaming with scarlet hollyberries.

She was lookitigjvery well to-night â€" her large eyes full of lustrous light, animated face dimpling ever into ra- diant smiles.

Not hansome â€" -never that â€" but bright with health, youth, and per- fect happiness. Since the day of Mrs. Vavasor's de- parture, the days and weeks lay be- hind her in a golden mist.

THE CHAmHION tramp. The champion tiamp turned up yesterday at the Cabtle Garden Emi- grant Depot. His name is William Kelleher, he was born in Ireland 38 years ago, and came to this country May 6, 1880, as a stearase passenger on the steamer Greece, urom Liver- pool. Before coming to New York he had been in South Africa for several years, and while working on t new railroad there he lost the sight of an eye and sustained injury to the other by the premature discharge of a gun- powder blast. On arriving in New York City he failed to get employ- ment, and set out on foot tbrough New Jersey and Pennsylvania. At Uniontown, in the latter State, he ob- tained a week's employment in a qu*rry, but was then dischar-red. â€" Again setting out on a long walk, he ttirued eastward and tctched up iu Boston. In a few days he was put in the workhouse for vagrancy and beg- ging, and kept at the expensa^ of the county for six months. Released fi-om confinement, he started to walk to New York, and got as far as New Rochelle, Westcher county, when he was again apprehended as a va- grant, and sent to the county jail for a month. At the end of the confine- ment he made good time to the me- tropolis, but encountered ill-foruue, could get no work, and drifted again to New Jersey. In an aimless scries of wanderings he passed southward until he got as far as Charleston, S.C. If Kelleher tells the truth, there must have been some sort of "boycotting" practiced against bin! throughout the whole of his perigrinationa, for he could obtain no work anywhere, and as a consequence, like Sherman's co- lumns on their way to the sea, or hke an army worm, he subsisted on the country through which he marched. â€" He says he did not like the chmate or the business outlook of the South.aud therefore tarted back for New York by a new route, not caring to repeat his levies for suppUes on the exasper- ated communities who he had previ- ously ravaged- He has finally made the grand tour, he thinks, now asks that the Emigration Commissioners will send him back to Enland. As Europe, nor Africa, nor America have yet been able to afford this gentleman the opportunity in hfe which he seeks it is surmised that he now cherishing some design against the Continent of Asia, with a view as an ultimate ne- cessity to a descent on the Australian Islans. â€" New York Paper, v.

TO Horses are provided with an nnsn- ally lage developement of the saUvary glands, and an enormous amoimt of sahva is secreted during the eating of a feed of gram or hay. This copious BU|^ly of saliva is amply sufficient to moisten and dilute the food, so that it ean be digested perfectly without the help of water. jWater is aibeorbed by coats of the etomaoh and enters ^e blood with soeh n^iidity that a thirsty horse will drink more water than the stonuK^ will con^in at one time, and the water begins tb pass off through die kidneys in each a case, after tbe lapee of a very few minutes. So that, knowing these fa^a, one may natural- ly infer tiut a hoMw inay be watered a few minutee before feedhig with more advantage than soon afterward, be- cauae in the former caae the water has been absorbed before tbe food has been swallowed, and duration cannot be interfered with I^ mo presence of too much water in tbe etomaeh, as might happen in tbe latisr ease.
