His Cancer antidote is the most wonderful dis

truly neutrality-suspicious. paralIel-and is the
only known autidote for Cancers or cancerous af-

BEGINNING LIFE.

I began life by running away from home.
Bolleau, we are told, was driven into his
career by the hand of fate and the peck of a
turkey. AttiIla started in life with no 9th
er cause and capital than an old sword, and
whicn he palned off for the divine weapon of
Oars; and Robespierre owed his political ca
reet to wetting stockings, and there heard
swords which burn" which fred his soul
and determined his course in life. My run
ming away from home arose from minor NOR
tifeation caused by carrying pretty CIR!
over the brook
Donald Lean and myself were good friends
at fourteen years ofage, an6 we both regar-
dod, with little more than friendship, pretty
Helen Graham " our oldest girl at school"-
We romped and danced together, and this
lasted such length of time, that it is with
feelings of bewiderment that look upon
the mystery Of two lovers contia ung friends
But the time was to come when jealousy lit
her spark IN boyish my bosom, and blew it in,
to a consuming fame.
Well do remember how and when the
''green eyed" perpetrated this incendiary
deed. 1t was on a cold October evening,
when Helen Donald and myself were return
ing with our parents from neighboring ham
let. AS We approached a ford where the
water ran somewhat higher than ankle dee p,
we proposed to carry Helen across as we
were accost umed to with hands interviewer
"chair fashion," and thus carried our pretty
passenger over the brook. Just as we were
in the middle of the water-which was cold
enough to have frozen anything like feeling
out of boys less hardly than ourselVes-a
faint pang of jealousy npped my heart. Why
it was knew not, for we had carried Helen
across the brook ere now without emotion,
but this evening thought or fancied that
Helen gave Donald an undue preference by
casting her arm around his neck, while she
steaded herself on my side by holding the
cuff of my jacket. - ..... ..ss .. . -
No fame can burn SO quick, or with so
little fuel as jealousy. Before we had reach
ed the opposite bank, wished Donald at the
"bottom of the sea-" Being naturally impet-
uous burst out with ..-
"You need not hand sac gingerly, Helen,
as if ye feared ia. | can aye carry ye
lighter than Donald can carry half of ye."
Surprised at the vehemence of my tone, our
queen interposcd with admission that we
were both strong, and taat she had no idea
of sparing my power. Bat Donald's ire was
kndled, and he utterly denied that was at
all qualified to compete with him in feats of
moral courage. On such topics boys are
generally emulus, and by the time We reach.
ed the opposite bank, it was settled that the
point should be determined by our sin
ely bearing Helen across the ford in our
arms. r .s -..r a-r
Helen was to determine who carried her
most easily, and Isettled with myself pri
vately in advance, that the one " ho had OBJ
tanned the preference would really be the
person who stood highest 10 her affections =
