D'dr Sr,-I feel /, my duty TO say word in praise
Of vEorrISE. My wife has been troubled with bad
humor for several years, which she inherited from
her parents. We have tried several physicians and
great many different kinds Of medicine with but little
benefit She much emaciated that we had al
most despared Of her being any better. Hearing
OF the VEoEr1NE we resolved to try once more, and
she commenced using 1t last March, and has been inn
proving in health ever since. From 10l pounds she
has advanced to 1876 pounds having gained 81 pounds
in seven months, and is now able to he about her
work. In Short she believes that vEoErIsE has been
the of saving her life and that she cannot say
too much In its praise. If It pleases you to make use
Of this statement you at liberty to do She has
taken fifteen bottles aud is still using It, and can
safely recommend It as a great blood purifier.
Yours respectfully, JOSEPH L. BUTLER.

1t Was Alive.
Shenandoah Herald.

He was rather an mountaineering in
dividual, and, as he sauntered into the
store, the crowd sitting on the barrels
winked at each other and made re-
marks about his person.
"Where did it come from?' asked
one pointing at him.
Somebody left the door open and it,
blew In" said another
II don't think it's alive" said third,
'Touch it and see," remarked a
fourth.

pray you, worldly-minded people that
you will allow me to depart in peace.
said the new arrival
One of the crowd more daring than
the rest, hammered the mans hat down
over his eyes, and another dabbed his
nose full of molasses from barrel stand
ing by.
The poor Christian took a small
volume from mis- pocket and began
reading the scriptures in drawing,
sing-song tone.
While he was engaged aG this, the
crowd played all sorts of tricks on him.
One put some eggs in his pocket and
another mashed them.
Then the biggest man in the house
poured some oil on his hat and lighted
it.
Then the clerk hit him under the
nose with Goldfish.
Then that man quietly put the volume
in his coat tail pocket, and the clerk
went head first the molasses barrel.
When the biggest man in the house
picked himself from under the counter
it was next to an impossiblity to guess
where his nose left off and where the
Goldfish began. No. l made work for
the glazier, as he hit ventilator in the
window. No. 2 hatched out half bar
rel of eggs, and No. 9 got up on the pie
shelf and stay ed there. AS No. 4
walked out of the door on his back he
wondered how much it would cost to
make him as good as new, and the poor
Christian man remarked:
"The next time you folks pick me up
for SLOUGH, look out you amt in the
wrong pew. Good day, fellers.'
The clerk is waiting for them to come
round and settle for damage done, but
they must have forgotten where the
place is, as they pass right by without
looking in, and their bills remain I'M
paid.

creature gave her?" he demanded.
He was informed it was all the news

The First Step.

There is no step SO long as the first
step in any direction, especially wrong
one Having once taken it, you are
very likely to go farther One who
steals a penny will remember it when
he thinks Of stealing sovereign. If he
steals the sovereign first when he is temp
ted by thousands he will Remember
that he is already thief. A perfectly
innocent person breads the soil of any
sin upon his soul, but after the slightest
smirch he cannot say, T" am clean"
The vulgar proverb, :" One might as
well be hung for a sheep as lamb 2
means a great. deal Often the lamb
was stolen years before, and now why
not take the sheep? An idle word,
half oath, and half exclamation, leads
the boy to swearing. Once having sworn,
he will swear again. The first Step
may not be much in itself, but in its re-
latlon to our lives it is a giants stride.
It is well to remember it. }
