"Why, no, / told you in the first
place that 1T was a report. But it
seems he had got a letter in the city,
calling him home in a hurry, as his
mother was dying, long way off, He
went home, and she died, and he in
herited rich property; and not caring
a fig for the people III Mosscreek, he
never wrote to them"
"Not murdered, after all" cried
the disappointed hearers. "Where was
thesingularity you spoke about, then ="
" In the perseverance of Solomon
Foxpaw."
Pshaw, @ pshaw What did you
work US up SO for?'
THAT is what Solomon Foxpaw
said TO those who had excited him so
but they said to him, as say to you,
that it was so reported, and that he
had expected to work miracle with
out any reason namely, to find, from
no evidence at all. the dead body of a
man who was not dead. And he as
as dissatisfied as you are that the man
turned up alive. But still, as | said
before, murder will out, and no doubt
if that Mike Murdman had murdered
and Paul Plcra had been the one he
killed, Solomon FoXpaw would have
had him, some time, p m. o.

A Result OF Obstructed Digestion.

Among the hurtful consequences of Oh.
structed digestion, is the impoyerishmert Of
the blood, and since a deteriatiye condition
of the vital fluid not only produces danger
Gus organic weakness, but, according to the
best medical authorities, sometimes causes
asphyxia, it Is apparent that to improve the
quality of the blood by promoting digestion
and assimilation, is a wise precsution. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is precisely the rem
edy for this purpose, since it stimulates the
gastric juices, couquers those bilious ana
evacuative irregularities which Interfere
with the digestive processes, promotes as
similation OF the food by the blood, and pu..
rides as well as enriches it. The signs OF
Improvement in health in consequence OF
using the Btters are speedily apparent in an
accession Of yigor, gain in bodily SUB
stance, and regular and active Perform
ance OF every physical function.

A STAR BEHIND THE CLOUD.

No matter how dark the night.
No matter how black the clouds may be,
Up in the shrouded sky.
Hidden from watching eve,
Among the shining orbs so bright,
Glitters a star for me.
Silvery bright and clear,
Out in the fields Of fadeless blue,
Needless of cloud and rain
Fearless of death and pain
Golden stars in their silent sphere
Twinkle and burn for you.
Summer and winter the same;
No matter II stOrm-clouds surge and roll
Like waves on the frenzied sea;
In Heavens bright gallery
Twinkle and glow with quenchlcss fame,
These types Of the soul.
No matter how dark thy life,
No matter how gloomy thy watch may be;
Mid sorrow, and pain, and care,
Still watching thee everywhere
Back of the curtain of earthly strife
Wrinkles star for thnel

three days, patiently, for the next
link, and then the brig came to port,
and Murdman came to the tavern. and
the landlord introduced him to Fox
paw, over glass, and they sat down
to talk. Sol was usually cool fellow,
but, as he afterwad said. he had his
scruples about sitting down and talk
ing with murderer. and he felt very
pale and nervous considering the criti
cal business he was on. Sol eyed him
carefully all over, and he seemed to
look homelier and homelier the more
he examined him. He thought of poor
Paul Picra, and felt ashamed of him
