The GRATITUDE OF AN INVALID. Dear
Str: My wife has been using daily your
Bitters, and | am glad to say she has been
greatly benefited She is now stronger
and in better general health than she has
been for years, and feel certain that ner
present good health is the result of using
a few bottles of the Home Bitters. She
joins me in thanking you for your kind
ness. My wife has improved SO much that
she does not need the Bitters now, but
| thinks she will send for few bottles when
cold weather sets in. | commenced this
letter at the request of friend greatly
suffering from bronchial affection, which b
has brought on general weakness. He
asked me to order for him half dozen
bottles. Send them to Rev. w. L. Pear
son, Donaldson, S. &. Mrs. May, a LADY
of cur town, says the bottle | gave her did
her great deal of good, and that she
would order more soon. | am, as ever
your friend, REV. J. r. RILEY.

.And Antonio is of the same opinion.
So, upon her return from s., we have
agreed to take legal proceedings for quiet

Lucius Hartford was tall, fine looking
man, with square, white brow, over
which his intensely black hair fell in wavy
profusion.
As he spoke, he was toying carelessly
with pearl paper knife which lay upon
his desk, while opposite sat his mother,
pretty old lady, with soft silvery curls, and
eyes that still sparkled with something of
the fires of youth.
"But, Lucius,' she ciied, instinctively
interlocking her slender white fingers,
"this is terrible! A separation! and you
not married year YETI
81 know it, MOTHER said the young
physician; "but what else is to be done :?

Have you any positive fault to find

"None, except that our tastes are not in
common"
but, my son, you should have found
that out before you married her.
81 am aware of that, MOTHER he
answered, deiectedly; ''but the evil is past
remedying now
And in what way does she accuse YOU"
"She calls me cold and unsympathetc
She says she fails to find the affection and
devotion which she expected from hus-
band"
"Lucius, tell me truly, have you no fault
to find with yourself9"
He averted his eyes slightly and bent the

grasp.

me as she did. fail to find in her the
qualities l once admired, and, feeling as we
do, it would be mere farce any longer to
keep up the empty forms of coniugal life. .
Mrs. Hartford sighed deeply.
