For prudence to smother.

Extreme COse'' Cured.
From Rev. ISAAC AIKEN, Allegheny, Pal

No. "a Market Street, Pittsburgh.
Sir: take great pleasure in stating that, after
having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen
years, at some periods much more than others, l
have been entirely cured by the use of Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure. My friends know that of late years my
case has been an extreme one had great suffering
from eating any kind OF food, and an average
would yomit aoout one third of my meals, in sour,
iDdigestble mass. When the severe attacks would
come, would Lose all strength and be utterly help
less. Some of the attacks would be severe that for
days together would not retain anything on nv
stomach, save little dry toast and tea. For Yeas
knew not what it was to pass five consecutive hours
without intense pain. From the time took the first
dose OF this medicine / ceased vomiting gradually
all soreness passed away, and flesh and strength re-
turned, and ever since have been able to eat any
kind OF food set upon the table. SIX months have
now passed without any symptoms of the return of
the dlsease. My case was considered by all, even
physicians, so marvellous that time it was fear
ed it might be fictitious but am so well con-
WINGED, that have been not merely relieved, but
permanently cured, that can conscientously re-
commend Goes Dyspepsia Cure to all victims of dys-
pepsia.

In 1iudiemce Nth Tjctorio.

Many of our readers have doubtless
seen the Throne Room in London, and
are familiar with the DOettts Operdlldi of
a court presentation. 70 those who
have not been 80 fortunate, the follow
ing will be of interest: About six levees
are held year. Ii takes a hundred
men three weeks TO prepare the rooms.
Everything is measured by the ineXOr-
able law of etiquette The dress is pre-
scribed the material, the length of the
trains, the mode of dressing the hair,
and the style of the garments. The
Throne Room il a right royal room.
There Is not seat in it except the
throne and the gilded chair at the foot.
On platform reached by three steps,
on crimson carpet, spattered with gold,
stands a gilt gothic chair, surmounted
by a crown. This is the throne 1t is
covered with a canopy of crimson vel
vet, trimmed with heavy gold lace. On
the top of the canopy is a golden cush-
ION, on which rests a larger gold crown.
The Throne Room j. very long, nearly
two hundred feet. Running the whole
length is a heavy iron fence, full five
feet high, capped with crimson velvet
The great thrOng below at given sig
nal, come up the stairway. They enter
the great Audience Room, that opens
into the Throne Room. The Audience
Room Is very gorgeous with satin hang
lngs, radiant with vermilliOn and gold.
When the signal il given below the rush
commences. Her Majesty is painfully
prompt. At the exact moment she
comes out of her royal closet and takes
her stand on the lower step of the throne.
On the signal being given, her Majesty's
ministers with the foreign ambassadors.
enter from the private door, file singly
below the Queen, bow and take their
station in the centre of the room. where
they remain. The crowd is admitted
one by one. The party passes up the
narrow pathway to the place where the
Queen stand, makes a low bow, and then
backs down the whole length Of the
room. The lady cannot turn her back
on the Queen, nor take up her train. 1t
Is etiquette for the ministers and ambas-
sailors, who occupy the centre of the
room, to lift the train and pass it from
one to another while the lady backs
down tOthe door. The presentation lasts
about one minute. 1t costs months of
labor and anxiety, and great expense.
The finery will be worn on no other oc-
casion. But the party has been sspre-
scented at court, and will tell to her chill
dren's children. When the Queen holds
court, IL lasts just one hour. During the
whole time she stands like statute-as
cold, as insensible. She neither bows
nor speaks. The mass file before her az
IL she were hewn out of stone.

The Empty Cradle

Only little empty cradle. The tinv
rufiied pillow bearing vet the impress OF
the baby-head; the dOwny bed vet
marked by the round limbs that so lately
pressed H. Only an empty cradle; but,
mother love hath hallowed it, and my
dead baby's bed is holy. Oh. / can see

ing steps, the fearful faces, the great
dark parlor, and the tiny casket gleam-

terday they lie before me, snow-white
lilies strewn about my dead Lille, cold
as her sister flowers. OH golden eurls,
VIII you nestle upon thy mother-heart
no more Sweet violet eyes, will you
never again look into mine with shy,
questioning glances-beautifal eyes that
have not yet lost the look of the angels.
Rosebud lips, will you never again press
mine, will you always be so cold and
still as now? OH nav God, nv baby is
dead, my Lille is faded, my beautiful
bird has flown from me; and / am
alOne-aloneI White lids closed over
violet eyes, golden curls shimmering n
coffin pillow, baby lips that never
learned to lisp ''mama," stilled forever,
and pale as faded rosebuds. Dimpled
waxen hands, white as the lilies folded
within them, clasped over a breast that
never hath known guile. Stilled for
ever is the pattering of the tiny feet so
lately wandered from the paths Ofangels.
Oh, my beautiful one, my little white
lily Plucked with the dew of Christ's
heaven still upon her, dead while Gods
angels still whisper in slumber. Gone.
ere nay young arms had scarce learned
to clasp her. Ny first little baby-and

God help me!
