"He went northward to Terth. For a little while he held with Argyle and the Kirk, but the Covenanters drove him too hard. They told him he must purify his court from all ungodly followers, and so made him dismiss twenty-two English Cavaliers not godly that is, not Calvinistlc enough. Then Charles, not willing to endure their pious tyranny, ran away to the Highlands behind Perth, and though he was caught and persuaded to return, he did so only on condition that his friends should be with him and fight for him." "Why should the Scots object to that?" asked Mrs. Swaffham. "Because," answered Neville, "these men were mostly Englishmen and Episcopalians; and the Whigs and Covenanters hated them as being too often reckless and wicked men, full of cavalier fauciness. In return, Charles Stuart hated the Whigs and Covenant ers, made a mockery of them, and, it is said, did not disguise his amusement and satisfaction at the defeat of the godly army at Dunbar.

Exaggeration is ono of the most se rious evils of the day. It is common In all the walks of life,, people not being willing to see what is actually before their eyes, but permlttlug their Imaginations to enlarge and extend thelf view frequently to the limit of the mental horizon. Few will deny Its deleterious effect. Rumors on each side of the ocean for which there Is no reasonable basis throw the country nto a state of unhealthy anxiety and do positive barm at times of a serious character. Very recent events have strikingly illustrated this. It is the vogue, or it is a temporary evil which has seized upon the public, and there does not appear to be any remedy except to let it run its course like any other epidemic and pass away.

Frlarspoint, Miss., Nov. 30. The Butler case still continues to be the talk of the town. Mr. G. L. Butler, the father of the little boy, says: 'The doetor said my boy had disease of the spiaal cord, and treated him for two months, during which he got worse all the time. Finally the doctor told me he did not know what was the trouble. The boy would wake up during the night and say that he was dying. He would be nervous and trem bling and would want to run frou the house, saying he saw ugly things which frightened him. After we had tried everything else, I read an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a eure for Nervou3 Troubles. I pur chased some and used them until he bad taken altogether eight boxes when he was sound and well with not a sin gle symptom of the old trouble. This was some months ago, and I feel sure that he is permanently cured. We owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit for bis restoration to good health." RATHER LONG TO WAIT.
