It is a sci- entific combination ot the medicinal princi- l)les and curative vir- tues of the finest drugs, cliemically united, of such power as to insur« the greatest possible eflSciency anil uniform- ity of results. It strikes at the foundation of all liilinonarv diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid "cTires. and is adapted to (latients of any a^e or either sex. Being very palatable, tlie youngest children take it readily. In 'irdii'iarv Coughs. Colds, Sore Throat, Bronchitis. Influenza, Clergsrman's Sore Throat, Asthma. Croup, aud Ca larrh, tlie effects of AVer's Cherkv Pbc- :oiAi. are umgii'al. and multitudes are an- iiially preserved from serious illness by its muely and faithful use. It should lie kept .11 hand in eveiy household lor the pro- t.-rtion it affords in sudden attacks. In Whooping -cough and Consumptloo ':ii-re is no other remedy so eftica-.-ious, â- ; .iiliing. uud helpful. Low prices are inducements to try some 01 liic many lui.xtures, or syrups, njade of cheat) an.l ineffective ingredients, now offered, « hirli. as thev contain no curative qualities, rail afford ohlv temporary rflief, and are sure to deceive and disappoint the natient. Iiiscii.ses of the throat and lungs demand aciiveaml effective treatmont; and it isdan- g.TOU.s exierimenting with unknown and • heap iue«liciiies, from the great liability that tUesj) diseases uiav. while so trifled with, liecoine deefil^- seated or incurable. Use AvKRs Chkrrv Pectoral, and you may routi.lently expect the l)est results. It is a standard medical preparation, of known and acktiowledged curative power, and "s as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow. Eminent pli-sicians. knowing its composition, prescril* it in their practice. The teot of half a century has proven its alwolute certainty to cure all piil- monary complainw not already beyond the reach uf human aid. Prepared by Or. J. C.

With pencil and scissors he toiled away Nor looked (rom his psper ap. But bis soul was seated with aa anguish wild, And on gore he could calmly sup.

So passed the dark winter days â€" anxions days for many English harts, (or the air wss laden with war news from South Af- rica. Then suddenly thero oame the awful tidings of the fatal field o( isandnla, and the glorious defenoe of Rome's Drift. Almat More the call wm made (or ninforoements, men came forwad to volunteer, and first among thow who so volunteered wm Loris McLeod. He did it without hope, only with a pasionato prayer that this time he might not be denied. For now it aemed impoMible to bear this life he led. He felt that his seU-control mnst fail bim soon. He onnld see that in some way Cecil wu changed, that some trouble lay on her hail Wm it that ahe had mistaken hei feelinga srith regsrd to Lord Kenn^.dy, and that bis absence had abown ber clearly now ttiat ahe loved him? The Colonel tried to force himaelf to tbink thia might be true yet hia own hart dared .to whisper snother story. At Hyde conjecture and eager quntiouiog ware rife. Were the â€" th Lancers going ont? Of conrM the Colooel would go theo. Nothing WM known. No orders had come from bead-qaarters as yet. Both officers and men were eager to be ant out and, at the mess, in barracks, indeed everywhere a Lancer's uniform was to be seen, there was but one topic ot oonveiationâ€" 'the war, and tbe chances of taking part in it. In BtlenOe Colonel McLeod waited â€" in ansuena that was an agony. He bad not aaid even to CecU what he had done. She knew that he must hsve volunteered, be- eause she knew him so well. Bot as be had noS epekea oa the â- abieat, ahe ahrank in her new ahynea of him from seeking a confi denoe he bad not volunteered. One aftoraoon Ceoil entered the library to fetch a book. It wm one of the days on which Colonel McLeod's dntia slways took him into Hyde, whence he rarely returned till lata. She thought be was still abaent. She liad not ventured into that room of late. She panted tbere(ore with a start when, on entering, she aw that tbe library WM not tenantlesa. But tbe shock wm not at the sight of him she half dreaded to meet, bnt at the attitude, the whole appearance of the man, which betokened something so like dapair. He sat, with bis arms crossed 00 the table, his head rating on them, perfectly still yet the bowed form told of suffering before which the girl'a balf-trembling fear vaoiabed, the woman's noble impulse to soothe sod strengthen filling ber heart. She had no thought of herself, of alt tbe doubts and alf-oommnning that had destroyed her peace of late. She simply knew that he suffered, and that for him she would have braved even datb, if tbat might wve him from pain. With light gentle footfall she came to his side, and then paased, shrieking from wounding him afresh by intruding on his anguish. Yet, soft m hid been her step, he mnst, have heard, it, or wm instinctively oonaious of her praeooe (or he raieed his head snd looked up, with only a dim con- sciousness that it was Cecil who had come to bim. Her ooming might be an additional sting bnt the greiMr pain bad swslbwed np the lesar for a time- Then he dropped hu head again and said i lowly â€" " Wby do you come to see my humiUa- tion?" She bent forward, dathly pale, with a sinking heart â€" the word stmck her shsrply. " There is none," she said in a low tone. " What is it?" What hM bappene^ Oh, Colonel McLeod, tell me â€" in pity tell mel" His breast heaved, and hia hands tighten- ed their clMp together. "There is no atenement â€" none t" he muttered hoarsely. "Twenty long jars cannot expiate it, twenty years of patience cannot blot ont one falae atop. Toey will not give me even the chanm to redeem a diahoooured m me. Ob, Heaven, the pis- honour waa not mine â€" not mine " Trembling, awe-struck, the girl heard those words. A few weeks before they would have sounded without meaning to ber now abe read them by the light of a latei knowledge. She taw at onoe all that had fallen oa him, how his last hope had been ctuabed. She had acaroely need to read the official letter he half pn.hed to- wards her. It only siid, with one excep- tion, what bad been aaid to many othera, that it WM found impowible to accept the Mrvices of all who bad tendered them. The exeeptioa lay in the laat worda, that Colonel McLeod'i requat to be permitted to volunteer even in the rauka could not be enterteioed. Hut tears nuLed to Ceoil's eye snd fell upjo ber band. It seemed to her a crael tiling to deny to bim all hope of winning hack a stainlea name. He aked to go ont, not in bia own raak, hot to waive all rank and position, and serve in sny wsy. No he bad been censored. Perhaps graver ana- picions bad lain behind tha oensure, and Loris McLeod wm " not known " at head- quartors. OoM mora the hnr passionate voice spoke. The deep raeerre of yean had broken down before the on- rushing of the flood.

Mrs. Grabsm stota tbat tbe island was sitnsted in Lake Micht- gan, about fire mibs sonlheMt of Kock Island, and known M " L itle Gull," be- cause of its whitenem and ap,,uiiranoe of a gull at long range. The iaiand waa irrega- lar in shape, being about fifty feet in width by one hundred feet in length was entirely a formation made of smsXl stona, ranging from the site of a walnut to rooks weighing Mveral pounds. By no means was tbe island a place of vegototion, far not even graa g'sw npoo it. In the summer of 1846 or 1847 Mr. Grsham built a fish shanty or houa on " Little Gull," to be handier to his nete tbat were at "outside." Into ths smstl fish palace, on tbe island of sea pebbles, Mrs. Graham went and cooked for her husband during the summer months, but, as fail ap- proached and old Michigan began to frotb, tbe inhabitante of "Little Gull" returned to R ck Iaiand, where terre firms waa more extended. The next season Little Gull wu too smsll to even "squat" on â€" having dimin- ished a good deal during the winter. It continued to grow smaller each year, and long yean ago disappeared below the sur- face of the water. 'Then the spot wu re- ferred to as the "outside ahoal.' Still the work of "(toing down" continued, and small sail crafU of light draft could navigate over the ahoal. A lew years sgo the water over the shoal wa of a depth sufficient to hide tbe appearance of a shoal, and a large steam- er suffered a heavy Ion by gronndmg on the bar. To-day the once dry iaiand is covered by fathoma of water. By the superstitious .t is claimed that the disappearance of Little Gull island is a mystery, and tbat the neigh- boring islands have also wttled a number of feet. Landmarks prove the latter statement untrue, while the mystery connected with tbe "sunken island ' doea not seem to be be difficult to solve. The fact that the little island waa entirely formed of amall atones â€" nnquationably haped up by tho waâ€" it does not seem unreasonable to suppose that the same power that rolled the stona up oould also level or roll them down again. •»-^ 1 â- ! â€" .-» â€" A Bonaway Train. (Ua Vegas (N. M.) Optic.) Tho most hair-raising episode that ever happened to a New Mexican mountain rail way train fell to the lot of Conductor BlesS' inghani Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock, on the wet Mope of Gloiietta summit The train comprised nearly thirty loads, and u it enterot upon the descent, Jake Brown, the engineer, threw on the water brake, bnt found tbat it was broken and wonld not work. The train gained momemtum to such a frightful extent that the switch-cables and ho ks lying on the pilot base in front were hurled from tbeir place into the air, breaking o e of the locomotive's guard-rails. Bjxjwn called for brakes, bnt the tram men had al- ready set every one, anl realized that the train wu beyond their control. Seeing that notbiuK could be done to atop the mad course the train was' running. Brown jumped from the cab wbite going at the rate of sixty milei an hour, and landed seventy two feet distant, actual meuurement. Blesingbam, who was on the caboose with Pawnee Charley and wife ns pa sen.e s, fearing that the train was going to datruction, cut his way-car loose, and checKed it with the brakes, while the train continued its velocity e'lowa tbe long grade. The fireman stood at his post like a hero, and whilo the engine wu plungini; down tbe dight at a giddy speed, he crawled oot on the foot-board and potted sand throngh the sand- box, thinking that it might asaiit the wheels in getting a grip upon the rails. As the train sped around Material curve, which is " short and steep," the velocity wu so great that the locomotive ran on unepail, and over- balanced w great'y tbat it came within an ace of losing its equilibrium. The brakemen on deck were obliged to lie flat and ihng to the running-boards for safety. For six mila tuo-e badly-fri htened men stuck to ibe ship and faced the horrors of death. Below Con- oncito is a natural buin, -with three mila of level track, and it wu on ibis stretch-the runaway train wm mutered and stopped.

""?^' Poe, like Pope, threw himself into a war ith dunces. He hit and tbnist at ttem vigoroiuly, he exposed a m .re of cheiip popn- larities, he was merciless to the 'nezpeusive r«|.'Utetions then readily a'^quired by every tootler on the whistle of Miss Eliza Cook. Since the time o( Poe American literature has wo'ijderfnlly advanced in the scqnisition of rce and of polish. American novelists, for exjmple, almost gives ns lessoos in elsbora- tion of style, in re^icenc^ snd in well-calcu- lated effecta. American poete are, perhaps, too nomer us. That they get a hearing, u they do, and appeal to a raslly large piiUic, uys much for the intereat of the people in contemporary verse. In form, in the mere art ot versifying, even' the minor American p ete of to-day .abow wondeifoi versatility and deftoea. Commonplace is mnch leu successfiil than it wu of old.

I spoks to him, striving in ay pity te appear nnooasoiotts of perceiving his misery. Without answering hs rose abruptly and laft the oabin. Ths looks of oonoem and in- qnsitade in the faces about me told me of some uonsnal sorrow, whch the mother, leaving her apiiming-wheel, explained to me 'in a bw voice. She told me that the yonng man, ber eldat son, poor Oimey, ss she oalled him, bad until a month before been tbe most healthy aod cheerful member of the family; ready and prompt at work, and the life of the hoasehold, when a letter came from America to a neighboring family inola- ing money to pay the ptatage thither of their eldat daughter. It appeared that the youbg man had long entertained a secret paaion for this girl, and when he heard that he prolabty wculd never ae ha sgae, he declared hia love to her, and besongbt ber to remain. So (sr from being nnmindfol of his affeotioo, she avowed ber willingneu to marry at onoe, if he wonld accampaoy her to America immediately afterward. Tb'a WM impossible; bis own family was unable to auist him, and the few people who posseu money on the iaiand would not lend it with- out aecurity.

Therefore she told her suitor if he would not accompany her she would not listen to his suit. When the young man found his upbraidmgs useless, be gave way to despair, and had not worked or spoken since his cruel sentence had been pronounc- ed. Every day he grew thinner and more wan, and he did not partake of suffieent food to support life. All the solicitude and tendemea of his mother had not succeeded in aronaing within him his former alf, and with tean lunning down her cheeks she told me she thought be hsd lat his reason forever. Some waks previously the school-master had written (or them to a prieat, a diatant relative of the family, who lived in Conne- mara; bnt they had received no reply, and she supposed he had neither help nor conn- lel to give. I pccaered for a long while, u I ut by the bre, upon what often provea to be the unfortonate sincerity of men, and I could cot refrain from deploring the no less frequent levity o* my own sex. In paes- ing through tbe vUlage a week sfterward I stopped to say good day to thoae kind peo- ple, when I found the houte aaoene of bustle and confusion. My erewhilt- love-sick swain wu, when I entered, making himself a pair of pampootees; and m be bade me good day over a dangerously itarohed collar, nia face glowed with health and energy. The now cbeeiful and happy mother informed mo that since my lut visit they had received a letter from the priat in Connemara, inclos- ing his blesaing for her son, and the money to pay his pusage to America. She had very busy knitting bim stockings, and mak- ing bim a fine wbite flannel suit to be mar- ried in, and which thereafter he wonld not a^ain wear until his arrival at New York- so thst he would mske s decent appearanuc iu the new world, u became the relative of a priat He was to be married to the ubjact of his choice the next day, and they were to start immodiately afterward upon their long voyage.

Tbie, and thia only, waa Kbalil's winding sheet, tightly swaddled in which his remains wore borne to tha cemetery upon the sboulden of four young softaa, after tbe ninety virtues of Allah hsdboen duly recited over bis bier by the senior Ulemu of the Stambonl cler- gy. When the burial oeremooy bad been c.inclnded, a funeral feast waa held in tbe departed Sheik-nl-ls'.am, at which all the reverend personages who had taken part in the funeral were aptendidly regaled.

Drayson writes the Lond*n Daily Newt from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to announce tbat he haa niside an astronomical discovery, the ranlt of ten yean iovati- gation. It la " Tbat tbe earth rotatea annually once round a tecocd axia, which seci nd action is cot coincident with the ax- is of daily rotation. This movement is due to she fsct that, owing to the preponderanoe of Isnd above the water io the northern hem- isphere, and owing to tbe mau of land in Asia, Europe, and Africa on ooo side of the earth, the centre of gravity of the earth is not coincident with the centre of the earth, and, coaseqaently, ia not locsted in the plane of tbe equator. Tee resnlto of tbe discovery are moat important, m the chang- ing positions of the stare from month to month can, by the aid of this discovery, be oalcnlated, so tbat the endless obssrvatinoa of scores ef oomputera at various obarva- tones beoome do langer neoasoary."
