ALAD PIU,
ten I was a beggarly boy,
And lived in a cellar damp,
I bad not a friend or a toy,
But I bad Aladdin's lamp;
When I could not sleep for cold,
I had fire enough in my brain,
And builded with roofs of gold.
My beautiful castles in Spain.
fcben I have toiled day and night,
I have money and power good store,
y* ^f iye my lamps of silver bright
For one that is mine no more;
F°rtune, whatever you choose,
You gave, and may snatch again,
bave nothing 'twould pain me to lose,
V *or I own no more castles in Spain!

I GIRL CRUSOE.
Thrlltng Experiences cf a Mission-
ary's Castaway Daughter.
Among the forthcoming fall publica-
tions of a well-known Eastern pub-
lishing house is a book which promises
to be replete with interest, entitled
"Missionary Life and Labors in the
South Sea Islands." It is the pro-
duction of Misa Hannah Durstoc,
young lady who has spent her entire
life among the scenes which she de-
scribes, and who is now actively en-
gaged in the work of promulgating the
gospel among the idol worshippers
and pagans of the faraway isles of the
ocean. Miss Durston is now sojourn-
ing in San _ Francisco with friends.
Bhe has left her field of labor in the
Fiji Islands to journey to New York
and arrange for the early publication
of her work, in which she takes much
pride. In fier island home Miss Duration
Is often familiarly called by her friends
the "Young Crusoe Missionary." To
a> Call reporter who visited her one
evening at her cosy quarters at 6391-2
McAllister street, Miss Durston relat-
ed the sad stary of how she came to
earn this title. She prefaced her nar-
ration by a short biographical sketch
of herself and a description of the mis-
sionary work of her parents.
The fair young authoress was born
in the Tientsin District, China, in
October, 1856. Her lather was en-
gaged in Gospel labors there at the
time. The clima-te did not agree with
Mrs. Durston, and while*Hannah was
yet very young the family moved to
the* Sandwich Islands, where Mr. Durs-
tpn, in company with a famiiy named
Johannsen carried on mission work.
The Durstons eventually, in 1874 set-
tled in the group of Vita Levu, one
of the Fiji croup. "Up to this time,"
said Miss Durston, "I had been as hap-
py as any child possibly could be. I
was a great favorite with natives
wherever we went, and learned their
language thoroughly. Besides, father
and mother took great pains to
teach me everything, so my education
was not neglected. I was now old
enough to realize the value of my par-
ents' labors, and 1 began to take a great
interest • in reliqious matters. In as
able a manner as I knew how I talked
with the worshippers of idols and
tried to impress upon them the teach-
ings of Christianity.
"It was on a Christmas day that I
remember so well my father telling
* mother that he nad decided to change
residence to the Island of Kand-
avu, and there work in harmony with
the Weseleyan ministers, who are
numerous on that island. We
made the change ere another month
r
>: *
had gone by. I did not like Kandavu,
although there is a pretty bay and
some fine inland scenery. We lived in
a hut made of cane several miles trom
where the colony was located.
"It was very lonesome, and many
of the natives had ugly-dispositions.
They professed disgust and contempt
openly for missionaries. Mother's
soft and kind ways seemed to have
no effect upon them, and quite fre-
quently they stole things from us.
Theft, I will say thouch, is not a com-
mon practice among the Fijians. One
day fatner reprimanded a sub-chief
called Ko-Ko for stealing a jack-Knife,
and in reply the chief threatened to
wreak vengeance on us. Father had
but little fear of him doing anything,
but two days afterwards a friendly
native came and told us that Ko-Ko
and some of his friends would pay us
a visit.that night and probably mur-
der father and mother and carry me
into captivity, for Ko-Ko had an evil
and licentious disposition.
"Father became alarmed at this.
As the beach was near by we resolved
• to take a few thi rigs and seek safety
on the ocean in our large bark canoe,
uptil the next day, when we 'could
reath the coiony everland, as Ko-Ko
and his men would Purely be on the
lookout. From the door of our hut
to the sandy beach was only a lew
steps. Her^ was our canoe, which
father used' in visiting adjacent isl-
ands. In the bow was a capacious
locker, where food and a few other
necessaries could be kept. Towards
sunset we hastened to the beach,
placed our things in the locker and
father pushed the canoe into the wa-
ter. It would seem that we were none
■too soon in getting away, for the ca-
noe waS barely a hundred feet from
the beach when the treacherous Ko-
Ko and six other natives came bound-
ing to the water's edge, brandish-
ing their spears at us in a threatening
fashion^ They had visited the house
and found that «re had gone. Ko-Ko,
with an imprecation, hurled a spear
at us, but it fell short and dropped in-
to the water. Father breathed a fer-
vent prayer over our narrow escape
and hoisted a sail upon the slender
mast. Under the impetus of a cmtle
breez&the canoe soon left the shore
far behind.
"Mother and I wrapped ourselves
up in blankets at fathers request, and
lay down in the bottom of the canoe
to- rest whkilerhe watched. It was
some time before the lapping of the
water against the sides of the canoe
~ me to sleep. I do not know how
Í 'slumbered, but I was aroused

ising of the canoe. My mother

shriekinfT wind bad the
of a gale, and the canoe
like a chip upon the tops
waves that gleamed
lulled
the
like the white fangs of a devouring
monster. The sail was rent asunder
and the rain began to pour down in
torrents. Neither father nor mother
lost their self-possession. They com-
menced to pray again and I joined in.
It was all that could be done. We
clasped hands and knelt down to
await the inevitable. -
"Suddenly, above the roar of the
thunder, we could distinguish a con-
tinuous rumbling sound.
" Those are breaker, and we will
soon be among them,' whispered fa-
ther, adding words of comfort at the
same time. It did not look as though
our canoe would ever reach the break-
ers, as it was in danger of upsetting
each moment, the waves becoming
wider all the time. Our condition was
truly miserable. Oh! I cannot dwell
upon it! My dear mother's pale face
rises before me as she leaned
down and kissed me, but she said not
a word. The next thing I remem-
ber is a deafening crash and a sharp
cry from mother. I was struck by
something and consciousness left me.
I can recollect opening my eyes as
from a profound sleep. The sun was
smiling down from a blue and cloud-
less sky. I raised myself and found
the ocean at my feet. It was as plac-
id as a lake. I was lying on the wet
beach not three feet from where the
waves were rippling on the sand. My
clothes were dripping wet. The oc-
currences of the storm came to me like
an electric shock. My first thoughts
were regarding father and mother. ;
Were they safe or—but I leached the ,
horrible alternative!—About thirty j
feet away I saw the canoe cast high ¡
and dry upon the beach. Its side was
stove in where it had struck the rock.
Running up to it I saw it was empty.
Along the stretch of beach no other
obiect was discernible.
"I eyed the expanse of water and
perceived a dark object bobbing up
and down the surf. A closer view re-
vealedwhat caused my blood to almost
freeze in my veins. That which was the
sport of the waves were the bodies of
my dear parents. They were clasped
together. Overcoming the feeling of
horror and sickness that came over
me.1 dashed into the water up to my
waist, and, with almost superhuman
strength, brought the bodies out of the
water. Dragging them to a dry spot
I fell over the cold forms in a deathly
faint. I recovered my senses only to
faint again. I will not dwell upon
what followed. I sobbed and moaned
where I lay all day and night, and
prayed that I might die beside my
lather and mother. The following
day I was calmer, and using one of the
broad-bladed oars of the canoe, which
I found under one of the seats of the
vessel I dug a deep hole in the sand,
and laid the bodies of my father and
mother in the grave. I was so stunned
and overcome with anguish that the
occurrences of the two or three follow-
ing days are dim in my memory.
I know I found some water-
soaked food in the locker of the
canoe, and that I waded out to the
reefs at low tide and gathered shellfish.
In a grove of cocoanut trees near the
shore I discovered a spring of fresh
water. As strength returned to me I
resolved to explore the vicinity and
see if I could learn where I was. Be-
ing afraid of meeting hostile natives,
I acted with great caution, moving
stealthily through the palm groves.
"At night I laid down in some shel-
tered nook and used fern leaves as a
protection against the damp dews.
Four days passed and I learned that
I was on a small island, which ap-
peared to be uninhabited except by a
nasty looking species of bat and
small pigs and rats. The pigs were
wild and savase, and I had to evade
them to avoid being attacked. My
only sustenance was cocoanuts and
a species o: wild berries. The nuts I
found on the ground, where they had
fallen during storms. According to
my reckoning about three months of
this monotonous existence passed
away. My clothes were worn into
tatters. Every morning I bathed in
the sea and made a frugal meal on
fruit. The rest ot the day I
spent in exercise and reading
a stained copy of the Bible, which I
found in the locker of the canoe. I did
not fail to place fiesh greens on my
parents* grave. The canoe when turn-
ed over made a comfortable abiding
place at night, I crawling into it
through the hole in the side. vJThere
were three storms during mv stay
there. Of course 1 was drenched. 1
think thafe if my existence as a Crusoe
had lasted much longer I would either
have gone crazy or died. As it was,
the consolation afforded one by read-
ing the Bible gave me strength.
"One day I saw a party of natives
land from a canoe. I hid and watched
them, and soon recognized among
them several friendly faces I had seen
at the Wesleyan School at Kandavu.
I called to them, and on coming up
they knew me. I cannot tell how glad
I was to be taken in their canoe to
the colony at Kandavu, where I was
heartily welcomed. The deepest regret
was expressed over the death of my
poor parents. That is all I have to
say in relation to the subject. I de-
termined to follow up the good work
of my father, and I think I have been
successful. The treacherous Ko-Ko
was banished trom the island and
died in a leprosy colony a year or so
afterwards. I had - my parents' re-
mains removed from the lonely island
and decently interred at Kandavu."
Wonderful Language.
Youth's Companion.
Those who live among books, and
have withal the gift of language, are
apt to be bookish in their expressions.
One of this class, Miss Eliza Robbins,
of Boston, was visiting her friend, the
poet Bryant. She happened to be
alone in his library when a cabinet-
maker brought home a chair he had
altered. On Mr. Bryant's return he
said: "Miss Robbins, what did the
man say about my chair?" "That
the equilibrium is now admirably ad-
justed,'' she replied, not lilting her eyes
from the book she wasi reading.
"What a fine fellow!" said Mr. fBry-
ant laughing. " I never heard him talk
like that. Now Miss Robbins, what
did he say?" "Well, he said: 'It jog-
gled just right,"' she replied.
A Belie Of Aaron Burr.
Among the early morning firtf
which olaimed the attention of the do*
partment was one which indirectly re*
called an interesting chapter in the his-
tory ef the metropolis. "'The outbreak
was in the old brick building at No. 2Í
Center street, at present the abode of i
dealer in plumbering supplies. It was
caused by an over heated stove and
did $1,000 damage. The firemen, who
penetrated a dozen feet into the build-
ing were mazed to find themselves con-
fronted by a solid iron wall. They
were trying to find a way to get on the
other side, when the discovery was
made that the iron wall was the side of
a mighty reservoir, containing watez
enough to drown the biggest soit of a
fire. The tank is all that is left ol
Aaron Burr's characteristic swindle,
the Manhattan Water Company, under
the cloak of which the legislature in
171)8 chartered a formidable republican
rival of the two then existing banks,
both of which were under the thumb of
Alexander Hamilton, Burr's political
arch enemy. The concern never made
more than a pretence of carrying water.
But the pretence must be kept up, and
to this day the charter of the great
bank of the Manhattan Company in
Wall street hinges on this old reservoir,
Its destruction last night might bave
precipitated a financial muddle by the
sudden lapse of the bank's charter for
the two would have ceased to exist to-
gether. No harm was done to it, how-
ever, and the bank is safe. The old
tank fills up the entire middle of the
building. It is thirty-seven and one-
half feet in diameter, and built on an
arched brick foundation extended from
the cellar to the roof of the building.
The r^in-water from the roof and a
pump under the sidewalk in Reade
street keep it always filled. Probably
not one in ten of the many who daily go
out and in the building, wondering at
the cramped space within, suspect the
existence of the reservoir in which a
hundred men might be drowned and no
one be the wiser.—N. Y. Mail and Ex-
press.
The Way They Boom.
"Are you getting ready for that ex-
cursion of eastern capitrlists which is
coming here when the railroad is com-
pleted?" asked a prominent citizen of
a new Kansas town of the mayor.
"O, yes. We've made arrangements
with Metropolis City to borrow its
county seat for the day, and will move
it down."
"That's good. Anything else?"
"Yes; each merchant is going to put
up fifty packages which will look; as if
ther contained sugar, and the farmers
will be going out of the stores with
them all day."
"Fifty packages won't last."
"But they'll keep sneaking them
around in the back door again when
the capitalists aren't looking. We pro-
pose to sell each bundle twenty times.
Then we're going to have two brass
bands, and the railroad company will
side-track a couple of freight tirains all
day. and I'm having the creek dammed
up two miles above here, and just be-
fore they come we'll cut the dam and
let her howl all day and oall her a riv-
er, and I'm going to salt the town well
with a barrel of kerosene and have an
expert smelling of it and talking loud
about natural gas, and then there'll be
two or three men run ovér with teams,
and a lot more will be going around
and looking awful deep and sticking
stakes around for new buildings, and
evervthing will boom proportionately
all day. O, you just let mo alone to
extract the reluctant dollar from the
pocket of the eastern investor!"—Chi-
cago Tribune.
The colors for Christmas are white and
and there is no more joyful combination of
color. White is the perfect union of all
colors, and always the emblem of holiness
and parity. Yellow may be used with the
same significance as white, representing joy
and gladness. The two colors typify joy,
gladness and life. The other colors suitable
for Christmas are red, which symbolizes
God's love and green for the boantlfulness of
God. It is well to remember these colors in
Christmas gifts, and so make use of them.
Men are often heard saying that their aspir-
ations are high, but every time tiiey cough
their noses go towards the earth, with indica-
tions that they will follow them soon, unless
they are wise enough to take Dr. Bull's Cough
Syrup in time."
"Adam the goodliest man of men since
born," still could not be called exactly envi-
able, for when he tilled the ground in the
dewy twilight and caught a sharp touch of
rheumatism, he had no Salvation Oil for his
cure, and no 25 cents to try it.
A good deal of money is taken in by the
penitentiary authorities at Columbus, S. C.,
by charging visitors ten cents for showing
them through the institution. The money i s
used in transporting released prisoners to
their homes, if they have any. Eighty dollars
was taken in one day recently.

The Legislative Halls of the beautirul Cap-
itol at Nashville, Tennessee nre damp, and it
is no wonder therefore that Coussens' Honey

givers. They want to be relieved of coughs,

as a result of incendiary work in Chatta-
nooga, Tenn., was an old landmark of the
city. It was erected in 1S47 at Soddy and
floated dowu the river on a raft to Chattanoo-

it burned. During the late war it wa used
for an arsenal and prison.

The Women Strike It Rich.
ihe American women were getting to be a
weak, used-up lot, and the young men were get-
ting to the opinion that marriage meant slavery
without help. Plenty of toil for the wife and
the servant girl, and very little pleasure in life
for themselves. Zio one could tell the cause.
Every generation grew weaker,—the children in-
heriting the constitution of the nerve force. It
is now a well established opinion amung onr
best physicians that the extreme mental wear
from the requirements of civilization has pro-
duced it- Now the women have struck the ex-
tract of a little, harmless, tasteless plant flav-
ored into a leverage that gives them double en-
durance without Ijarm. It is sold by druggists,

MARVELOUS
An experienced practical builder
says that mortar in the interior of
walls, especially if it be what is called
"rich" mortar is liable never to hard- j
en, but ret ain its softness for centuries,
though this is only the case when the
interior of the wall is hermetic-
ally sealed against external air. In
England not long ago, a quantity of j
soft mortar was dug out of a ston<
wall that bad stood for 300 years. It

Some doctors are prolific in theories. It is
hard to give them a fact that they cannot ac-
count for—or try to. a physician thinks he
has discovered that the recent invasion of
New Encland States by malaria is due to the
use by its inhabitants of tobacco grown in
malarial southern regions. Our theory would
be that malarial germs long wrapped up in
tobacco would be so narcotized by it that they
would be unfit for the task of worrying man-
kind.—Dr. Footers Health Monthly.

The following words, in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as a remedy for those delicate diseases and weak-
nesses peculiar to women, must be of interest to every sufferer from such maladies. They are fair samples of the spontaneous
expressions with which thousands give utterance to their sense of gratitude for the inestimable boon of health which has been
restored to them by thé use of this world-lamed medicine.
Mrs. Sophia V. Boswell, White CottageX
writes: "I took eleven bottles of your 4Fa-
vorite Prescription' and one bottle of your
* Pellets.' I am doing my work, and have been
for some time. I have had to employ help for
about sixteen years before I commenced tak-
ing your medicine. I have had to wear a
supporter most of the time; this I have laid
11 as I ever did."

John E. Seoar, of Millenbeck, Van writes:
" My wife had been suffering for two or three
years with female weakness, and had paid
out one hundred dollars to physicians with-
out relief. She took Dr. Piere-j's Favorite
Prescription and it did her more good than
all the medicine given to her by the physi-
cians during the three years they had been practicing upon her."
Mrs. George Herger, of West field, N.Y~,
writes: " I was a great sufferer from leucor-
rhea, bearing-down pains, and pain contin-
ually across my back. Three bottles of your
4 Favorite Prescription' restored me to per-
fect health. I treated with Dr. , for
nine months, without receiving any bene'

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.
Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, and in
tbis way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and potions, awmming tbem to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptom* caun?d by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine,
like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those
distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.

persuaded me to try your medicines, which I was loath to do,
because I was prejudiced against them, and the doctors said
they would do "me' no good. I finally told my husband that if
he would get me some of your medicines, I would try them
against the advice of my physician. He got me six bottles of the
Favorite Prescription, also six bottles of the 4 Discovery,' for
ten dollars. I took three bottles of 4 Discovery' and four of
4 Favorite Prescription,' and I have been a sound woman for four
years. I then gave the balance of the medicine to my sister, who
was troubled m the same way, and she cured herself in a short

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST EXPERIENCE.
The treatment of many thousands of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely
adapting and thoroughly testing remedies
for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands of
testimonials, received from patients and
from physicians who have tested it in the
more aggravated and obstinate cases which
had baffled their skill, prove it to be the
most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. It
is not recommended as a "cure-all," but
as a most perfect Specific for woman's
peculiar ailments.

Favorite Prescription" is un-

subduing nervous excitability, irritability,
exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms
and other distressing, nervous symptoms
commonly attendant upon functional and
organic disease of the womb. It induces
refreshing sleep and relieves mental anx-
iety and despondency.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is a legitímate medicine, carefully
compounded by an experienced and skillful
physician, and adapted to woman's delicate
organization. It is purely vegetable in its
composition and perfectly harmless in its
effects in any condition of the system.
