Every one Knows the story of the lit
tie girl who, wishing to ask something's
heaven, wrote a letter to God, which she
nut into the hands of the Virgins statue
in the parish church.
A circumstance nearly analogous has
lust taken place near Marchiennes, in
Belgium. A girl named Blanche was in
the service OF Monsieur and Madame c.,
who we're much attached TO her on ac-
count of her fidelity and piety. Some
DAYS ago Madame c. fell i'll and died
very suddenly.
The day after her death, Blanche,
profting oy g moment when the corpse,
already prepaped for the grave, was alone,
made her way into the chamber Of death,
lifted the shloud aud then retired pre-
cipita' ely. -.
Those who saw hersuspected she might
have been trying to pilfer the jewelry OIL
the corpse. Search was made and moth
ing was found missing, but there was 8
letter in the dead woman's hand. Thi.
being opened was discovered to be a let
ter from Blanche to her mother, dead {
long time before. 1t was as follows:

and general pleasures. You will find, in
keeping your account Of income, that it
is a good plan to run each field crop
separate, so that you can, at the close,
see at a glance what your profit or loss
has been on each, Keep dates Of times
when fields were plowed, how they were
cultivated, and what the labor on each
has cost. This will teach the farmer in
a short time which crops are the most
profitable. In stock, keep a particular
record of each animal, with pedigree.

You will find plenty of time in which

As the scholar sees in the vain but heauti.
full mythologies Of the a~ncients the embodied
expressions Of the hungry human soul,
blindly cropping after the Infinite, so the
physician sees in that popular myth Of the
sixteenth century the fountain OF perpetual
health and %youth-an expression Of the long.
ings of suffering humanity for a remedy that
should forever prevent the incursion Of
disease, The wilds OF Europe were ransacked
for this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de
Leon sought for it in the cypress swamps and
tangled everglades Of our sunny Florida.
Men have searched for it everywhere and
anywhere but where it really is-in the
human body itself. The blood is the real
fountain of perpetual health and youth,
When this source is corrupted, the painful
and sorrow-producing effects are visible in
many shapes, The multifariOus forms in
| which it manifests itself would form subjects
upon which | might write volumes. But as
all the varied forms of disease which depend
upon bad blood are cured, or best treated,
by such medicines as taSe up from this fluid
and eXcrete from the system the nOxiOus
elements, it is not of practical importance
that l should describe each. For instance,
medical authors describe about fifty varie'
ties of skin disease, but as theyall require for
their cure very similar treatment, it is OF no
practical utility to know just what liant to
apply to a certain form of skin disease, so
you know how best to cure it.. Then again,
| might 20 on and describe various kinds Of
scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swellings
enlarged glands, and ulcers of varying ap
pearance; might describe how v%irulent
poison may show itself in various forms O
eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, boDy tumors
etc; but as all these various,appearing mani
} festatiOns of bad blood are cured by a uni
} form means, ! deem such a course unneces
sary. Thoroughly cleanse the blood, whicl
|, is the great fountain OF life, and good diges
