How the Ready Relief Acts /!

In few minutes the patient will feel .
slight tingling irritation, and the skin be-
comes Redeemed; if there is much distress in
the stomach, the Relief will assist nature in
removing the offending cause,-a general
warmth is felt throughout the entire body,
and its diffusive stimulating properties
rapidly courses through every vein and tissue
of the system, arousing the slothful and
partially paralyzed glands and organs to re-
newed and healthy action, perspiration fol-
lows, and the surface of the body feels in
creased heat. The sickness at stomach, colds,
chills, headache, oppressed breathing, the
soreness of the throat, and all pains, either
internally or externally, rapidly subside, and
the patient falls into tranquil sleep, awakes
refreshed, invigorated, cured.
1t will be found that in using the Relief
externally, either on the spine or across the
kidneys, or over the stomach and bowels, that
for several days after pleasing warmth will
be felt, showing the length of time it con-
tinues its influence over the diseased parts.

YOUNG AGAIN.


I'm growing old, but what Of that
The winter SHOWS are on my hair,
And like an antiquated cat,
love my Ere and easy-chair.
To sit and think and read the news
Thru pebbles twain that bridge my nose
matted stool beneath my shoes,
To coax the dull blood to my toes.
I'm growing old, but what of THAR
Each failing sense, each twinge Of pain,
But tells me with familiar chat,
Pm coming to my youth again;
And bids me Joy that change eternal
Revives, renews the meanest thing
That life is born when grasses turn,
That out Of winter leaps the spring.
And such Spring. Rejoice, oh me;
That age and mildew pass away,
That a brief cycle sets me free
To launch into unfading day.
The SHOWS shall fade from out my hair,
Dim eyes and weakness flee with pain,
Hearts ease the wrinkled brow repair,
And all my youth come back again.
Night flames his wings and turns to day,
Mid joy and bells the year is born;
Though all things seem to pass away,
To all shall come another morn.
He we call Death, with kindly hand,
Plants all the daisies Of the plain,
And when DER me he waves his wand,
shall renew my youth again.

NORWEGIAN CUsToNs.-A story is told Of
q Hallingdal man who entered a church
during the performance of Divine service.
Walking up the aisle of the church. he stood
a moment in front of the COMMUNICATIVE,
and then, turning somersault, he sprang
over the communion-rsils and alighted ON
the table. The officiating clergyman, who
was renowned for his great strength, seized
the offender by the neck aud hurled him
back again among the people, where he
remained for some time insensible. We
once witnessed a remarkable feat performed
by a soldier, Hallingdal man, in the garri-
son in Christian. A brother soldier held
up his cap as high in the air, as he could,
and then the Hallingdal man, taking sud-
den leap, knocked the cap out of the other
with his right foot The men of Hallingdal
are said to have strange and barbarous
custom when in drink Being well primed
with finkel, they draw their short knives,
and pointing them at each other, they in
quire in an amicable way, allow far will
you go?n A certain portion of each knife
is then measured off on each side, and the
remainder of the blades are carefully bound
round with cloth, so that the knives cannot
penetrate beyond a certain distance. All
present then set to work, and stab and slash
each other in all directions. Sometimes
these encounters end fatally, but little
blood-letting does none of the parties any
harm. 1t may be asked If these strange
combats arise from a natural taste for she'd
ding blood. 1t is not to be so, but the Gus
tom has been handed down from father to
son for many generations, and that any
Hallingdal man refusing to fight when chal-
lenged would be branded as a coward.
