THE FOREST PILLS neither gripe nor weaken
j the system. This is because they contain no
deleterious drugs or minerals, but are exsracs OF
plants which are as wholesome as the food we eat.
A CURE Is CERTAIN, and they cure without
weakening the system or affecting the bowels but
slightly, except in full doses, when taey purge
thoroughly but without gripping pains, or producing
weakness.
1T Is FOLLY to use gripping, drastic purgatives;
such drugs weaken and destroy the tone OF the
stomach and bowels. Never weaken the system.
The stronger the vital functions, the more power
have they to throw off disease when assisted by
good medicine. 81.

An Incident,

woman from Indiana, hearing that her
SOD, her only SOD, a noble youth, was
wounded in one OF the battles before Rich
mond nastened to seek him. She obtained
passes, but searched in vain for him through
all the hospitals in the peninsula. Her en-
deavors elsewhere were equally fruitless.-
Having looked through our own hospitals
to no purpose, alone in a strange city,
friendless, almost heart broken with moth
erly anxiety and grief, she hears while in
one OF the wards, that a new boat load of
wounded was in the harbOr. An uncon-
trollsble conviction possesses her. that her
son is among them. She becomes almost
distracted with lmpatience to fly to him;
and could not wait until the next day,
when the wounded were to be landed One
of our noble uptown ladies, who devoted
themselves to the sick and wounded, hap
pened to be present, and could not resist
her distress. She finally persuaded an Off
Ger to procure boat, and at once go with
the mother to the steamer. The very hsst
wounded man looked upon was her own
son. He sprang TO her with the exclama-
ton, "Oh, mother, | knew you would
come 1t was to her terrible shock, for
she saw that the seal Of death was on him.
He was mortally wounded through the
lungs, and died that night in his mothers
arms. The dy who had interested her
self in her, anxious to know her fate, yet
hearing nothing, sought the ship on the
next day, and found the mother with the
dead boy, almost beside herself with grief.
The wounded had been taken off the ship,
the officers and crew had gone on shore,
and there was nobody to care for the be-
reaved whom no one knew. This heartless
desertion is a lasting shame to the vessel,
whose name we do not care to disclose
The lady soon made arrangements to have
the body decently cofined, and took the
mother TO her. own home. The American
Express Company, TO their honor, on being
acquainted with the facts, volunteered to
convey the body to Indiana, free of charge
and the mother, with her sacred express
left for her home. Before leaving, she was
induced to say something respecting her
family history, and, singularly enough, il
appeared that herself and her benefactol
were originally from the same New Eng
land village, and that their fathers had beer
leDg and well-tried friends. aesCl

The Grab and the Fox

Translated from the German for the Independent.
A crab crawled from his brook out upon
the green grass of a meadow, and there
Jared sumptuously." A fox happening in
that neighborhood, saw the crab creeping
along slowly, and thus scornfully saluted
him:
"Sir Crab, now why do you travel so
lazily How long time do you intend to
occupy in crossing the meadow. 1t seems
to me as if you might journey better back
ward than forward"
But the crab was no blockhead, and i'm
mediately retorted Il
3" Mr.. Fox, you do not know my nature.
l am well born and estimable; am swifter
and nimbler than you and your race. Mr..
Fox, have you a mind TO run with me for a
wager?" o.
" | should like nothing BETTER" said the
fox. Win you run from Berne to Basic,
or from Bremen to Brabant 2"
"Oh, no." replied the crab, "that would
be entirely too far. l should think that,
were we to run half or a whole mile
with each other, it would not be too much
for either of u.s."
Hal ha milel mile I' laughed the
fox in contempt.
The cab resumed

not take, won't run at ALL"
"And how much of a start am l have 2''.
inquired the fox.
"Just the length of a fox" returned the
crab.
You step in front of me, and l will
stand behind you, so that your hind feet
may touch my nose, and when | say NOW
be off, then will we begin to run"
The fox was much pleased With this dis
course, and said
/ will obey you to the letter." And then
he drew up with his great bushy tail 'front.'

his claws, unpeEceived by the fox, and call

And the old fox did run, as be never run
in all his sublunary career, so that the soles
of his feet itched, And now when the goal
was reached, he turned himself about quick

Crab2 How long will you stay ~
But the crab, wko now stood nearer the
goal than the fox, cried out out behind him
"Mr. Fox, what do you mean by this talk

and waiting for you. Why are you so tar

The fox drew in bis tail aud hastily de
