A SURPRISE.
And an enemy hath not done q.

ana an enemy hath not done n.
When the enemy makes damaging raid
upon harmless and unsuspectiug citizens, the
neighborhood and often the whole communi-
ty is surprised and alarmed Should that en-
envy seize your self-possession captivate you
and your family, and take for spoils fifty dol
lars worth Of the fears which war-tsxes and
war prices had accumulated in the warehouses
of your brain, you would be more surprised
and less alarmed. Now this was substantially
and shrewdly accomplished at the Methodist
Parsonage in Cabot, Vermont, at the close Of
" that raw and Rusty" 9th Of February when
the Denizens Of the Hills could not run the
blockade" Of the drifts, and an enemy's cour-
age would fail TO rally him to an act Of kind
ness. Certainly, an enemy hath not done this
That the surprise nigh, be more perfect, the
hour Of social prayer WAS chosen, and those
who craved blessings for us, brought their an
swers in their hands, May their many tokens
of appreciation and love return in bountiful
spiritual gifts, lavished by our kind Heavenly
Father upon their own generous hearts.

which great man cannot su1mount. This
fact bas been exempifed in innumerebe in

not only realized worldwide celebrity and

familiarize millions of the sick with the heal

who would never otherwise have been bene-
flied thereby. The victims of dyspepsia in
this country, and unfortunately their name is
legion. have good cause to rejoice that so
wide publicity has been given to the virtues
Of his Pills through the columns of the
American press for if we are rightly inform
ed, they have cured and are now curing more
cases Of this distressing complaint than all
other medicines combined We hear, too, of
cures of scrofula and other internal disorders
by the Ointment. which, II they were not
vouched for by the best authority, we should
pronounce incredible. These medicines
seem to do what no other advertised medi-
cines have ever done before-f,dfU the promises
