A STRANGE STORY.

A horrible report comes fIom In

terror, being something of natural
isS, had great passion for hunting
snakes. His wife, however, had a
great aversion to them, and could
not bear to 10 * even at a dead one.
He thought this all nonsense on his
wife's part, and resolved to cure her
of her fear by making her familiar
with snakes. One day, while out
hunting, he killed an exceedingly
large boa constructor, which he
brought home and stretched on the
verandah in front of the honse. After
dinner, he told his wife he had some.
thing on the verandah he wished her
to look at. They went to the door
together, and as she stepped out he
stepped back and closed the door
She scre AIMED trightiully. but he
thought her fear would soon be over,
aud 80 he remained in the hall max
ing sportive remarks tor his wife to
hear. AS her screams contnued, he
opened the door only to see his wife
in the agony of death, crushed in
the folds OF monsirous boa 1t
appears when one of thes. seFpents
is killed that its mate will al ways toi
low the body if it is taken away,
and avenge itself on the first object
it meets. Ia this case the boa had
followed its dead companion, and
had lain in wait for some one to APP
pear, on whom it could fasten its
coils. The gentleman went mad on
the spot, and had to be conveyed 10
lunatic asylum.

A REAL SAVIOR.

Christ, the real Saviour, came in.
to the world to save real sinners.
When Luther was under a bitter
sense of sin, he said, go, but my
guilt is so great / cannot believe that
Christ can save me !" But one who
was helping him much, said to him,
"If thou were only the semblance OF
a SINNER, Their Christ would only be
the semblance of Savior but if
thou be real sinner, then thou
shouldst rejoice that real Savior
has come to see thee"
If we meet with a man who says,
yes, am a sinner T; know that /
am sinner, but I do not know that
l ever did anything much amiss /

rect" such persons have the name
to be sinner, and no more. He is a
sham sinner, and a sham Saviour
would suit him well.
But for another, who confesses
that has been a grievous transgress-
or, there is a Saviour. Rejoice then,
o We guilty ones, that the Christ of
God himself really come with real
blood and presented a real atone
ment to take away real sins, such as
theft, drunkenness, swearing, un-
cleanliness, Sabbath breaking, lying,
murder, and things need not men

should blush even these can be
blotted out by the real Saviour, who
has come to save the chief Of sinners

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
cd preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruE, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
Fl and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for it's intended purposes"
