Griffin lost leg and the other an

the agent:

The poets month is here. Across
the river there is a slight tendency to
brown. The green Is no longer the
summer green, but the sober green
Just beginning to assume the last tint
the leaves shall wear ere the winds OF
full ripe autumn coquette with them
Tor o time before dashing them to the
earth. The river floats by these for
estsso noiselessly, yet sograntily that,
mirrored in its waves, they seem to
grow from its depths and partake Of
its gentleness. But there fioats leaf
torn from its stem. It Is not yet sere
and yellow, but like meridian man
hood rudely stricken down, it advanc-
es TO Its destiny.
The bosom of the river floats not
only leaf, but tho wrecks Of forests.
Torn from their foundations where
they had defied the billow and the
blast for hundred years, great oaks
strew the waves. Trees dead and
limbless, oaks still green from the life
the past summer gave them, diversity
the same. 1t was only yesterday
that an oak with limbs and branches
and green leaves, sailed majestically
out OF the Tennessee, and reminded
us for a moment of the moving forest
that appalled, the guilty soul of Mac
beth. But this Is not the work of Oc-
tober, the gentle, the pensive, the
beautiful. There Is no violence In its
soft winds and no poison In its bright
dews. 1t tears up no forests with
whirlwinds and breaks no faith with
him who, escaping from the perils of
the long summer, laughs in its tenn
pered beam. 1t can boast few flowers,
but how many bowers does It gently
fold to their inevitable sleep? But II
1t comes upon scenes that fade and
decay, II it knows not the early bios
som and the bright bird of song, its
moderated airs watt balm to the
sick soul
And bring back the features
That JOY used to wear.
Delightful month how the weary
have longed for thee! Here the glO-
ries and the terrors OF the summer
end, and here the afflicted lay down
their summer stats, dismiss their
fears and reknit the raveled skein of
life. They walk forth the lOosed pris-
Oners of disease, and part with des-
pair underneath the wild glory of an
October sun. The hot winds and
burning days are overnow. The haze
lifts its soft form to the horizon and
unrolls the gorgeous sunset. There
lie the clouds, broken, fragmented and
asleep, and as they catch the last beam
of the level sun, suggest to the fancy
the aspect of the ruins of a golden
city. 1t Is the poets month, the low
er's month, the month of every one
who possesses soul capable Of loving
life, or that without which life is not
life, but lingering death. Rcntuckian.

From Rev. ISAAC AIKEN, Allegany, Pal

From Rev. ISAAC AIKEN, Allegany, Pa,l JOSEPH FLEMING Druggist,
 No 84 Market Street Pittsburgh. SIR:--1 take great pleasure in stating that, after having suffered from dyspepsia for about fifteen years, at some pel iods much more than others, 1 have been entirely cured by the use of Goes Dyspepsia 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 on an average would yomit about one-third of my meals in a sour indiges- tible mass. When the severe attacks would come 1 would lose all strength and be utterly helpless. Some of the attacks would be so se- were that for days together I would not retain anything on my stomach, save a little dry tCast and tea. For years knew not what it was to pass five consecutive hours without in tense pain. From the time I took the first aose of this medicine, I ceased vomiting, grad ually all soreness passed away. and flesh and strength returned and ever since have been able to eat any kind of food set upon the table Six mOnhts have now passed without any symptoms of the return of the disease My case was considered by all, even physicians, so marvellous, that for a time it was feared it might be fictitious; but permanently cured, that can conscientiously recommend Goes D. syepsia Cure to all victims of Dyspepsia.
