for year after year, caused Undesirable anguish

various other churches in this region, was attacked
by the Bronchitis which soon became severe

trated and my Bronchitis became worse, also did
my Dyspepsia anil Rheumatic affection thus evincing
that these disorders connected with each other
through the medium of the Nervous System. In the
whole pharmacopoia there seemed TO be no remedial
agent which could reach and recuperate my Nervous
System every thing that had tried for this purpose had
completely failed AT last was led by friends 10
anime inventions, and Though with no very
guine hopes of their efficiency determined to try the
NECKLACE, with the MAGNETIC FLUID. This was
in June 1916. To MY GREAT AsToNisHMEsT, TWO

Edmond looked wildly at himself, as he
for the first time became conscious of his
condition, and the blush of shame which then
mantled his cheeks was productive of more
remorse, than any pleasure derived from
drinking. I'll drink nomere,' said he firm

Edmond dressed in suit of clothes pro-
fered BIZ Uncle Johns eldest son and walked
off pretty much as condemned criminal
rides to the gallows to be executed.
At length the day arrived for the speak
ing, which called together large assemblage.
When Philip S. White rose all was breath
less silence. His deep voice rang through
the crowd, whose eager ears were bent lest
they should lose a word. He painted the
drunkard's danger, and the moderate drink
ers danger SO plainly, that they saw it. One
moment the whole audience would be in
tears, the next convulsed with laughter =
and thus he swayed the audience at will for
two hours, though it seemed but few min
utes, SO completely did they feast on his elo-
quence. He closed by inviting those who
were desirious to give in their names for In
itiation, to do so. The Sons now became

was absolutely true, SO far as selling liquor
was concerned; for the Sons continued tc

glory, We are attault.

A merchant very extensively engaged
in commerce, in our Atlantic cities, died
intestate, February Is, 18-, at the age
of Is. After his death, among his pa
pers package Of very considerable size

of these may be got by suit or severe

of them have fisherman's luck. My
children will do as they think best. Per
haps they will think with me, that it is
best to burn the package entirely.
About month after lie died, the sons
met together, when the elder brother,
the administrator, produced this package,
read the superscription, and asked what
course should be taken in regard to it

that they might be enabled, as the inten.
