nobody answering, he opened his door
and found his page fast asleep in the el-
bow.chair. Tie advanced towards, and
was going 10 awaken him, when he per-
ceived letter hanging out Of his pocket.
His curiosity prompting him TO know
what it was, he took il on, and read il.
Ii was a letter from this young mans
mother in which she thanked him for hav-
ing sent her a part of his wages TO relieve
her misery and finished with telling him
that God would reward him fur his duti-
full affection. The king, after reading il,
went hack softly into his chamber, took a
bag full of ducais, and slipped it with the
letter into the pages pocket. Returning
TO the chamber, he rang the bell so loudly
that it awakened the page. who instantly
made his appearance. .- ~. 49,
"You have had a sound Sleep" said
the king. .s4 ..
The page was at loss how TO excuse
himself; and putting his hand into his
pocket by chance, to his utter astonish-
ment, he there found purse Of ducats.
He took ii out, turned pale. and looking
al the king, shed torrent Of tears, with
out being able TO utter a single word.
What is that!" said the king, " what
is the ma,ter!"
"Ah! Sire" said the young man, throw
ing HIMSELF on his knees, d" somebody seeks
my ruin! know nothing Of this money
which have just found in my pocket -
my young (riend," replied Frederick,
d" God often does great things for US, even
in our sleep. Send that to your mother !;

Of purgation and publication they have also DE-

them for the reliefof ONE disease at the expense
of ANOTHER. To obyiate this PHYSICIANS
have long sought for an Agent that would at the

The Two principal ingredients in DR.. lie Roy's

the latter, through its union with various vcgeta-

also on the chyle, Of which the Blood is formed,
and this secures good blood from the fountain
