party of children and young people were return
ING from fern gathering excursion up the Hi
nois river, and when about opposite the island Il
little boy named Alfred REM, venturing too near
the edge of the bank, slipped and fell into the
river. Upon rising from the first plunge the lit
tie fellow had the presence of mind to grasp the
rock, which was within reach, and succeeded in
gaining hold that enabled him to keep
his head above water. He could not climb out
however, and regain the top of the bank, for the
rocks were about fifteen feet high at this point
and nearly perpendicular, and his companions
above had no means at hand with which to rem
der him any assistance and the only alternative
was to run for help and boat, which was done
by two of the number, who ran down to the min
eral springs and told some parties there of the
occurrence. boat was soon started to the res
cue and when they arrived at the place the little
boy was nearly exhausted that he could have
held on but few minutes longer, as he had clung
to that bare rock with his body immersed in the
chilling water for full half an hour. He was
taken home and every attention given him, and
soon recovered from the effects of his adventure

Woodford's Work I'm Peru

From the Republican we extract the following
in regard to the success of the temperance move
mcnt in Peru:
George Woodford closed his labors in Peru on
Saturday They were remarkably successful, the
number signing the pledge exceeding 600, which,
added to the number who signed at Reynolds
and other meetings. makes according to the
He,aLd) total of 800 persons pledged TO total
abstinence, or more than one-third of the pOpu-
lation of the place. 1t has been said that Peru
was the most incorrigble town in the county, so
far AS liquor-seling and drinking were concerned,
and the worst town in the state for Il temperance
lecturer to make converts 10 sobricty. That
claim will haye to be abandoned, and Peru will
henceforth rank Ottawa, La Sale and Mendoza,
for, in proportion to population, she has great
cr number enrolled In the temperance army than
either of them.
Mr.. Woodford spoke in Utica three times on
Sunday and also on Monday and Tuesday even
ings. Two hundred and sixty signed the pledge,
including nearly all of the hard drinkers of the
town.

a PenPicture.

y few months, or even weeks since, her pallid
countenance was the very type Of rudy health
the delight of the school and the pride of the
household. She was always welcome wherever
duty or pleasure led her. Diligent, punctual,
and exemplary, in the class room, obcdient and
loving at home, she won the hearts of all. But
alas. those glowing checks and lips are now
blanched by consumption The voice once so
enchanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky
and broken by hollow cough. Let us approach
her couch and gently take her bloodcSs hand in
our own. Do not shuddcr because Of its feeble,
passionless grasp. The hand once 80 warm and
plump shows It's bOny outlines, while the cords
and tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon its
surface The pulse that bounded with repletion,
lmparting beauty, vivacjty, health, and strength,
to the system is delicate to the touch. The en-
ervated heart fcebly propclS thin, scanty blood.
Must we lose her while yet so young and SO fair?
No. There is relief. But something more is re-
quired than the observance of hygienic rules, for
enfeebed nature calls for aid and she must have
it, Administer this pleasant medicine. 1t is in
Nigorating. IL allays the irritable cough, i'm
proves the appetite and digestion, and sends Il
healthy Jingle through her whole being The
blood is enriched, nervous power increased, and
the heart bounds with new impulse. Her face
brghtens--the blood is returning, her voice is
clearer, and her requests are no longer delivered
in that peevish, frctful tone so deadenng to sym
pathy. Her step is still faltering, but strength is
rapidly returning. Let us take her out in the
warm, life gving sunshine. In few weeks she
will 90 without our aid and be able to join her
companions in their pleasant pastimes and feel her
whole being warmed and expanded into perfect
health" The changeis SO great that we think she
is sweetcr and nober than ever before. And the
medicine which has wrought this transformation
we look upon blessing to humanity, for there
are other loved ones to be rescued from the grasp
OF the insidious destroyer DR.. Pierces Golden
