WHY Will YE DIE, On YE OF LIT
TIE FAITH The following well written
article is from the Davenport Democrat of
December 10, 1872, and is powerful re
minder to the afflicted;
The most insidious, deadly and distress
ing malady attacking the human frame, is
pale consumption, stealing into the maid
en- ) bosom. flushing her cheek, blanching
her skin, and feeding like a living worm of
death upon her vitals 4 lover may
fondly gaze into her eyes, the brilliant
sparkling is but forerunner of dissolu-
ton. 4 mother may listen to her mid
night breathing. il is but muffled drum
beating her death-knell. A father may
fondly try to save her, but too frequently
his efforts are in vain, her bridal bed Is the
burial ease her bridegroom, death, the
silent consumer of her lungs is at work,
and physicians have no remedy, the phar-
macop9iano drug which cankeep her from
her destiny Sad as this view is, there is,
happily, a bright side. Providence has
garnered up in the storehouses Of vegeta-
ton, a sovereign balm in the juices OF
plants to arrest the fell destroyer, to heaI
the eating ulcer to ren0vate the failing
lung, to bring health, strength and vigol
to the wasted frame The keen eye oi
science has searched for it, the chemist
skill has seized upon it, the retort and
alembic have extracted it. and the remedy
is produced which will stay the progress O
the stealthy death Eend The result O
this careful study of nature is Allen
Lung Balsam, this is the consumptive
hope, the declining patients cure. Thou
sands have entered upon trial of it witt

who are ready to testify to its merits. lie

An INFANT IN TIE ONO RIVER
Returning on steamer from New Or
leans, we were especially interested III
one lady passcngcr-a widow with one
child-whose devotion to her child was
very touching. Tears stood in the eyes
of her black nurse. rs she besouglit her
mistress ''not TO love her babe toomuch
or the Lord would take him away from
her"
We passed through the canal at Lou
isyillc, and stopped few minutes at the
wharf The nurse walked out with the
guard at the stern of the boat, when by
a sudden effort the child sprang from
her arms into the swift current that
swept toward the falls, and entirely dis
appeared, -
The confusion which onsied attract
cd the attention of 4 gentleman who
hastily asked for some article of cloth
ing the child had worn. The nurse
give him tiny apron she had torn oil
in trying to retain her hold. Turning
to a splendid Newfoundland dog that
was eagerly watching his cormtcnancc,
he pointed first to the apron, and then
the place where the child sank. In an
instant the noble dog ,leaped into. the
rushing water and disappeared.
BY this time the excitement was in
tense, and some persons on shore, sup
posing the dog was lost rs well rs the
child, procured boat and started In
search of the body. Just at this mo
ment the dog was seen far away with
something in his mouth. Bravely he
struggled with the current, but it was
evident his strength was failing, and
more than one breast gave sigh OF re
lief as the boat reached him, and it was
announced that the child and dog were
still alive. They brought the child and
its preserver on shore,
With single glance to satisfy her
self that her babe was really living, she
rnched forward, sinking beside the dog,
threw her arms around his neck, and
burst into tears. Not many could view
the sight unmoved rs she kissed his
shaggy head, she looked up at his own
or and said
"Oh sir, I must have this noble
dog am rich take whatever you
will but give me my child's preserver. "
The gentleman smiled, and, as he pat
ted his dogs head, said:
Il am very glad, madam, that he has
been OF service to you, but nothing in
the world could induce me to part with
him. .t. -. .h... ,.....
The dog looked as if he perfectly un-
derstood what they said, and, giving
his side shake, laid himself down nt
his masters feet, with an expression in
his large eyes that said palmer than
words, mo, nothing shall part u.s."

The fox ran into hollow log, and a
dog followed. Both dog and fox were
now lost TO the hunter; and after blow
ing his horn and searching the woods
in vain, he went home wondering what
could have become of his faithful ami
mai. Nine days afierward it happened
that the master went TO the hollow log,
and upon examining it closely, found
the dog wedged inside. In his eager
ness to catch the fox he had gone too
far and could not retreat, and also made
the fox prisoaer, Tae log was split
open, and strange TO say, both dog and
fox were found to be still alive, though
annotated and weak. The fox was per

rose, rich, retired merchant, became
his mistress, and after some years mar
ried him. Mr.. Melrose, was anxious for
an heir; so his wife went Off on flying
trip of a fortnight, and came back with
an infant, with which she affirmed that
Providence had blessed her during her
sbsencc. Poor old Dir. Melrose was
credulous, received his supposed heir in
his arms, blessed it, and dying some
years after lettto him S2O0,0o0, the in
come going TO the mother while she re-
mained widow. The widow married
again, however Melrose's relations
concluded to look into the matter, and
it turned out that his wife had practiced
a gross fraud by adopting another we
mans son for the purpose Of securing
good income for herself The schem-
ing wonan is safe in India, while her
adopted son is left penniless. ...D
