PAWNING A. PAIR OE TROUSERS TOR MEDTCINR.—James
Francis Thomas lives at Pontnewynydol. near Pontypool,
lionmoatliphire. He is now twenty-three yeirs of age,
'tieing with his mother, a widow. Some elsveu years ago,
Ithen a mere boy, he went to work in a coal.pit as a miner.
in order to assist his mot`ier in rearing her family of little
children. Soon, however, the little fellow broke down in
health; but the necessities of the family seemed to maim
it, and ho continued to toil in the mines, suffering all the
tim-3 from the effects of indigestion, an agonising symptom
ueing asthma, in such a troublesome form that the boy was
unable to ho in bed. Working through the day, and !sat-
in; as best i o could in an arm chair during the night
iaturally undermined his constitution. Year by year,by
inis health grew worse and worse, until at last rhoumationt

mother's loge went out for her dear boy. But how to get
he medicine w a the question. Their money was entirely
gone. The boy hada new pair of trousers that he had beet
to 11l to wear, and the mother reasoned within herself, '‘l

pledge them for medi: me with an eff-,rt to save h.s life."
