a beautiful story is told of Buddha
A young Hindoo mother came to him
with her dead child clasped to her
bosom. and asked him for medicine
to restore it to life. He sent her to
one who told her to go and get a
handful of mustard seed from IA house
where no friend had ever died. She
came back after weary search, say
ing, = have not found it, The PEG
pie Of the village told me the living
are few, but the dead are many. y
The wise man replied, You thought
that you alone had lost "A son. The
law of death rules all. Then she de
voted herself to helping others. There
is nothing that SD sOftens our sorIow

whose hearts ache like our own. To
wipe away lie tears of another is the
best way TO dry our tears.

The prospect of large cane crop
in this parish this year is growing
slim every day. We hear it said on
all sides that the seed cane is bad,
and 10 some instances, entirely de-
stroyed. On the other hand the re-
ports We hear of the stubble are good
In fact of this portion of the crop we
hear no complaint whatever. Under
these circum instances would it not be
we'll for orr planters to put in a large
crop of corn. We think so, and hope
the suggestion will be needed.

VEGETTSE,fo for do not think enough
can be said in its praise; for l was
troubled over thirty years with thst
dreadful disease, Cat9rrh, and had
such bad coushing-spells that it
would seem as though l never could
bre.th any more, and VEGETINE
has cured me and / do feel to thank
God all the time that there is SO
good medicine as TEGETISE, and

icines for coughs, and weak sinking
feelings at the stomach, and advise
