| She looked at me in Won0er. Tears
fell from her eyes. She said nothing,
but saw that she was praying.
As soon as the hops were opened /
went and managed to procure some
food which | brought to the room. I
then left to go to my employment.
Through the day felt an incessant
craving, bat my horror was no great

throat than risked having that hand
there again.
As the days passed the horror re-
mained undiminished. 1t was simply

ing drink. dared not.
Ny wife said nothing. / saw, how.
ever, by her soft eyes, the gentle Joy of
her face, and the sweet loving smile
with which she welcomed me home.
how deeply this change in me affected
her.
Weeks passed and grad ly thecrav-
ing iessened. Yet so vivid was the re-
membrance of that dread experience of
mine that my horror remained fresh
and nnabated. To relapse was impos-
sible. l dared not.
Thus fefced to be sober, my circunl-
stances improved rapidly. There was
no longer any danger of want. Com
fort came, and peace, and hope, and
pure domestic joy.
Remorse for the sufferings which /
had caused to my sweet wife made me
more eager to make amends for the
past, that so | might efface better me-
mories from her mind. The revul-
sion of feeling was SO great for her
that she forgot that had ever been
other than kind. / made no parade of
reform. / made no promises and no
vow. Nor did she ever allude to the
change. She showed her joy in her
face and manner. She accepted the
change when it came and rejoieed in it.
| still felt an anxious desire to get to
the bottom of this mystery, and once /
told the whole story to my medical
man.
He was not at all surprised.
Doctors never are. Nor are Doc
tors ever at loss to account for any
thing.
''PoOh," said he indifferently.-
"That's common enough. 1t was
mania a pota. The brain, you know,
becomes congested, and you see and
feel devils and skeletons. Cases like
yours are common enough.
To me, however, my case seemed
very uncommon, but whether it be so
or NOT my case has resulted in my sal
vation. And never will cease, even
amidst my horror, to be grateful to
that Power which came down clothed
in terror to snatch me from ruin with
that Skeleton Hand.

is used for the diseases the Bitters in case
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
You will bear in mind that these remedies are en-
trely different from any others advertised for the
cure of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medicinal extracts while the 9TH
ers are mere decoctiOns of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies offered to the public. Its
taste is exquisite. Itis pleasure to take it, while
Its lifs-gtving exhiarating, and medicinal quail
ties have caused it to be known the greatest Of

THE SKELETON HAND.

Yielding to a miserable habit had
ruined me. 1t had blasted my pros
poets, destroyed by business, alienated
my friends, and brought me down to
the lowest point of existence. The
habit had altogether overcome me. In
vain | struggled against it. The i'm
ploring looks and words of my wife
the sight Of my wanfaced and ernaci-
ated children turning their eyes to me,
the author at once of their being and of
theiE misery; the spectacle of the
proud home and broad lands, once
mine, bat now in the hands of stran-
gers-all these, which might well have
slung to madness or driven to despair
a less degraded being, reached me not,
nor affected mein the depth of my deg
radiation. / had reached a point at
which no motive that might be urged
could any longer affect me.
One evening / was sitting in my
miserable home. The children were
asleep in bed. They had cried them
selves to sleep in hunger. Ny wife
sat opposite me on the other side of
the wretched fireplace stitching some
rags of clothing. | was sullen and si-
lent,
AT last | felt a craving for the stimU-
lous that now was necessary for my
life. Rising, walked up to cupboard
where it was kept. My wife knew
well my intention. She followed me
with her eyes.
/ went there desperate and caro-
less only eager for the qualification of
my appetite.
I reached forth my hand tremblin,-
ly seized the bottle, and was about
raising it to my lips.
But at that very instant, just as the
bottle touched my lips, | felt terri
BILE sensation. 1t was as though some
one had grasped my throat.
"WifeI" | cried in deep fierce
voice, alag do you dare?" and turn
ing, with clenched fist, | struck at
what supposed was my wife, For ]
thought she was trying in a violent
way in desperation to keep me from
drink.
But to my surprise / saw my wife
sitting by the fire place with her work
in her hand, looking at me in wonder.
1t could not have been her evident
ly.
A terrible feeling passed through me.
Shudderingly raised my hand to feel
what was at my throat, or if there was
anything at all which seemed to be
grasping me SO tightly.
Horror of horrors
As I raised my hand / felt the uns
mistakable outline Of o hony thumb
and bony fingers pressed against my
flesh. 1t was sheteton hand! that
clutehed me by the throat.
My hand fell down powerless by my
side; the bottle crashed on the fioor.
Ny children awoke at the noise, and
wife and children all stared at me with
white faces,
There / trembling in every limb
stood, transfixed with terror, the awful
feeling of the supernatural now fully
possessing me. drew away my body,
but my head was still held by the
same dread and invisible power. 4
could not move that.
pnspeakable horror filed me. None
but those who have experienced some
thing like this know what 1t Ia 70 have
such feelings, The body seems paraly-
zed, while the mind seems to be eudaw-
ed with extraordinary activity and
thus possesses new capacities for suffer
ing,

Darning little stockings
For restless idle feet;
Washing little faces,
To keep them fresh and sweet;
Hearing bible lessons,
Teaching eatechism,
Praying for saIvation,
From heresy and schism,
Woman work,
Sewing on the buttons,
Overseeing rations
Soothing with kind word
Other lamentations,
Guiding olumsey Bridgets,
Coaxing sullen coo ks,
Entertaining company
And reading recent books,

Binding up the wounded,
Healing of the sick,
Bravely marching onward
Through dangers dark and thick,

Leading little children
And blessing manhood s years;

How God forgiveness cheers;
Scattering sweet roses
Along anothor's path
Smiling by the wayside,
Content with what she hath,

Yearning for the gateway,

At last cometh silence
A day of sweet rePose;
Her locks smoothly braided,
Upon her breast a rose
Lashes resting gently
Upon the marble cheek
A look of blessed peace
Upon her forehead meek.
The hands softly folded,
The kindly pulses still
The cold lips know no smile,
The noble heart no thrill
Her pillow needs no smoothing,
She eraveth for no care
Loves 5 tenderest entreaty
Wakes no responses there.

A race forever run
