The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. f. s
Best, Pastor of the NJ. f. Church
Natick, Mass, will he read with inter
est by many physicians; also those suf-
fering from the same disease as afflicted
the son of the Rev. +. =. Best. NOper-
son can doubt this testimony. as there is
no doubt about the curative power OF
VEG ETINE.
NArIcK, Mass, Jan. LIST, 1873.
MR.. II. X. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for re-
garding your VEG ErlNE medicine OF
the greatest value. We feel assured that
it has been the means of saving our
sons life. He is now seventeen years of
age; for the last two years he has suffered
from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrof-
ulous affection, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his
recovery impossible. A council Of able
physicians could give us but the faintest
hope of his ever rallying; two of the
number declaring that he was beyond
the reach of human remedies, that even
amputatiOn could not save him, us he
had not yigOr enough to endure the Ope-
ration. Just then we commenced Civ
ing him VEGETINE and from that time
to the present he has been continuously
improving He has lately resumed
studies, thrown away his crutcheS and
cane, and walks about eheerfully and
strong.
Though there is still some discharge
from the opening where his limb was
lanced, we have the fullest confidence
that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles
of EGErlNE, but lately uses but lit
tie, as he declares he is too well TO be
taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
4. 5. BEST,
MRS. l.. G.. F. BEST.

Marriage is a very matter Of fact
affair There is a little poetry ia 1t and
all experience shows that it is better to
get rid OF nonsense before committing
matrinony." So says good writer;
but we beg to differ. All experience
does not show any such thing. II nom
sense means here, as it seems to mean,
all those things that make the poetry Of
life, we say the more you have Of it The
better. Because thing is real must il
be commonplace! The light OF love IL
lumines the homeliest duties; aud be-
cause there must be eating, and drink
ing, and sleeping, and earning bread and
butter in its years, marriage need not be
matter of fact arrangements coarse
sort Of bargain, ID which the wife be.
comes bousekeeper, and the husband
the banker. Better that there should be
no marrying at all; for what shall they
do in those hours Of trouble and pain
which come to all Of us, when every
heart Graves sympethy and when none
can give it SO we'll as The lover whose
love has endured through many years.
When two people Of opposite sex, tenn
permanent and habits, resolve, though .
union by marriage, to live together for
the rest Of their lives, there is need Of
sentiment between them. There Is !
necessity for little romance that makes
people seem better and more beautiful
than they really are, If in time they
would not hate each other. No--if You
have no other part in life that Is not
commonplace and matter-of-fact, forbid
that home life, which is the consequences
of marriage, to sink to this. Have ;
thousand s'songs without words" for ev-
cry day. Nourish your most delicate
and weave them with the
hours as they glide by. Don't have all
your poetry in the bookcase, and al
your music in the piano.

Weare in the habit OF hearing people
say, about any little disappointment,
H"Oh, well. IL won't do to be too happy,
careless speech, which, however, II
sometimes seems, has it's justification in
the curious blending Of the agreeable
and the disagreeable that prevails the
world over. DO you object to tho keen
cold Of the North? Go South, and find
snakes and centipedes. Even in Rome,
where the very ruins are more glorious
than the best achievements Of the rest or
the world, malaria turks In the air out
side the walls, and, within them, how
doth the little busy flea improve each
shining hour? California is less talked
about now as the land Of gold than az
the land Of perfect atmosphere. The
air there 1t is delight to breathe. II
exhilirates you. 1t is perpetual cham-
pagre which never quite intoxicates.
One enthusiastic writer has SAID that tho
browning misery Of life was to die Ii
California, because you must cease to
breathe the air Of balm which made you
long to live forever. But think .ofthe
nuisances there which offset this enchant-
Ing climate. Ants are one. Frequently
food can only be preserved by hanging
up in bags, or placing 1t in cupboards
which stand on legs inserted In vessels
Of water. Summer brings its plague of
impalpable dust; and winter one 81 faith
omless rnnd---heas are as busy as il
Hcn,o, and 10 their season mosquitoes
and gnats bold high carnival. So the
most conscientious person who has
sensitive skin, as we'll as sensitive
might, after all, seek that in
toxicating air without much danger Of
being too happy there.

A WASHINGTON correspondent OF
the Inter Ocean writes, "Not only is
it slippery outside but indoors too,
and at one OF the swell Germans a
few nights ago three couples fell on
the floor, polished not wisely but
too we'll. One of the six was the
belle of the ball, tall, stately and
naughty. What a fall was there.
She was leading; she was the best
dressed woman there; she was the
focus of admiration; she caught her
dainty foot in another girls founce,
and while the women were envying
her and the men adoring her she
tumbled, in confused heap of laces
and ribons and flounces and partner
in the middle of the room. She was
up in moment, shaking out her
rufiled plumage and swallowing the
modification with lovely smiles. But
she turned and looked at the girl
who tripped her, and, merciful heav-
ems, what a look"
