SUFFERING'S WINGS.

A tranquil glory breaks upon the face
Darkened all day by the tempest cloud:
Of pain,
OF these there fingers but the faintest
trace,
And light shines through the quiet
drops of rain.
Oh! simple secret of wondrous change
Kind hands have strewn the sufferer;
bed with flowers
So heavenly are they can We count il

The soul, it seems, finds in these blessed
things
Frail but sure pledges Of the After
Light;
Beauty and fragrance give strong suffer
ing wings;

A MAN WHO TURNS COPPER INTO

reassay the ore. when the astonished

some unusual leap of the horse, had
been the cause of her husband falling
to the ground. Reasoning thus, il
seemed to her he might be somewhere
along the route in need of her help.
If mot alive, she might find his dead
body. Or, if she failed to discover
him dead or alive, she could ride to the
mill settlement for safety and assist
ance.
With such reflections, she decided to
make an early start along the.wild val
ley route.
She gave the horse an abundance oi
food, and bound up the wound in it:
neck, knowing that all depended upon
the faithful creatures strength.
1t was & long and anxious night to
poor Annie, but the dawn came at last,
and she mounted and road away; and
SO swiftl' did she go that, had any ybody
seen her, she might have seemed like
some spirit of the wood.
AS she sped onward, along the faint
trail marked by blazed trees, tine pc
culiar excitement OF the horse ttracted
her notice, and it occurred to her tina:
if she was attentive enough to the in
stinct of the animal. she might learn
where it had parted from Leslie. And
SO it proved.
All Gay she went forward, her senses
almost supernaturally alert to find her
husband and avoid being surprised by
Indians. As the sun was declining, she
approached the brook where Leslie had
fallen, and the conduct of the horse
con, inced her that she was near the
scene Of some part of the disaster.
Slowly she rode the slope, watching on
every hand to hear something pertain
ing to her search, her heart ahame
with feelings too intense for words.
1t was the tread of the horse that
reached Leslie's ears. As the animal
stepped into the stream the poor man
saw his wife, and putting forth all his
strength, he called, in feeble tones,
"Anuiel"
She heard, and in an instant was at
his side. And such meeting. To each
it seemed as if the other had come
back from the dead. What followed
scarcely needs rehersal By slow
marches and great caution, living on
chestnuts and raw panther's meat, they
reached the stockade.
A few months restored Leslie from
his wound; years brought peace and
safety, and ultimately thousands of
settlers flowed into the region. The
pioneers farm where once the little
stockade stood SO distant and alone,
became village site, and wealth and
have fallen to the Cochrane
descendants
Whoever has heard the aged Leslie
recite this adventure, must have been
by the emphasis which he
placed on 1.-THE three strange provi
dences by which he was delivered"
First, had he fallen anywhere but in
the stream the Indians would probably
have found him where he fell. faint or
dead, and tearing off his scalp, would
have crushed in his skull with toma
hawk and departed. Secondly, had
it not been for the Indians rhe panther
would have finished him. And thirdly,
the bullet that drew the dripping
blood from the neck of the horse, so
that the crimson trail did stop at the
brook, saved his life by leading away
his pursurers.
Iu closing the story he used to say,
in a most solemn manner:
Death missed me by a miracle
three times in a single hour"

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels. and even the blood. In small
doses Of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orouS health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained 4 worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that obstructionS within
their range can rarely withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time. the safest and best physlc for
children. BY their aperient action
they gripe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

HE WENT BEHIND THE RETURNS.

Over one eye was a Liece of sticking
plaster as big as street car ticket, and
one leg seemed to hesitate and hitch
along as though a grain or two of grav-
ell had somehow got INTO the knee Joint
and made trouble and dissatisfaction.
His boots were as full of squeak as a
clearinghouse rocking-chair, and the
heels were edging around aud trying
to climb up and see what the panta
looms were mcde of. His eyes had a
wandering, startled, half frightened
SORT of look, and one of them seemed
inclined to set up an observatory on
its own account. His nose had started
out boldly into the world, but, after
slight progress, had thought better of
1t, changed its mind and scooted for
home again. This move had aroused
the curiosity of the chin, and it sailed
out resolutely to tiud out how matters
stood. When they came within hail
ing distance, both organs seemed to
take alarm at the hostile appearance
OF the Intervening chasln of a mouth.
and halted right where they were.
The man was very polite though
awkwardly so, and pulled off his nap
less, rusty stove pipe hat, with a
springy. nervous movement, the instant
he crossed the door-still, and came for
ward with crouching, hesitatina air,
seemingly fearful that his intrusion
might be unwarranted. He came TO a
tull stop with bow that made bis ribs
rattle, and asked with a voice afraid TO
come out all At once:
