II. r. STEVENS,
Dear Sir:-About ten years ago nv health
failed through the depicting effects Of dyspep-
STA; nearly a year later l was attacked by
typhoid-fever in its worst form. Ii settled in
my back and took the form of large deep
seated abceSS, which was fifteen months in
gathering. i had two surgical operations by
the hest skill in the state, but received no per-
manent cure. Isuilered great pain at times,
and was constantly weakened by n profllse
discharge: also lost small pieces of bone at
different times.
By what l saw and heard gained some
confidence in Negetine
commenced taking it soon after, but felt
worse from its effects; still persevered, and
soon felt il was beneetting me in other res
poets. Yet / did mt see the results desired
till had taken il faithfully for a little more
than year, wheu the difficulty in the back
was cured; and for nine months i have en-
joyed the best Of health.
l have in that time gained twenty-five
pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever be-
fore in my life, and was never more able to
perform labor than now.
During the pas few weeks had scrafu-
lous swelling as large as my first gather on
another part of my body.
took Vegetine faithfully, and II rmoved
It level with the surface in n month. think
l shoald haye been cured of my main trouble
sooner if had taken larger buses, affer hav
ing become accustomed to its effects.
Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or
kidney disease understand that it takes time
to cure chronic diseases; and, If they will
patiently take vegetine, il will, in my iudg-
ment, cure them. Yours very truly,
G, W. MANSFIELD,
Pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

a Beautiful Story.

Coleridge relates a story to
this effect: Alexander, during
his march in Africa, came to
people dwelling in peaceful huts,
who knew neither war nor con-
quest. Gold being offered him,
he refused it, saying that his
sole object was to learn the man
ners and customs of the inhab-
itants. Stay with Us, said the
chief, as long as it pleaseth thee.
During his interview with the
African chief, two of his sub
jects brought a case before him
for judgment. The dispute was
this: The one had bought
piece Of ground, which, after
the purchase, was found to con-
tain treasure, for which he
felt himself bound to pay.
The other refused to receive
anything, stating that he had
sold the ground. with what it
might be found to contain, APP
parent or concealed. Said the
chief, looking at the one, "You
have a son." and to the other,
you have a daughter; let them
be married and the treasure
given them as a dowry." Al
exander was astonished. "And
what" said the chief, would
be the decision in your coun-
try?'i 1--WE should have dis
the parties, and seized
the treasure for the kings use"
And docs the sun ever shine
in your country" said the chief;
docs the rain fall therea Are
there any cattle there which
feed upon herbs and green grass?
Certainly" said Alexander.
All, said the chief, at is for
the sake of those innocent cattle |
that the Great Being permits |
the sun to shine, the rain to fall.
and the grass to grow in your
country"

LADY ExouRsloNIsTs.

When at Laramie, year ago,
we met the widow Of the late la
mented Mr.. Ralston, Of Califol-
MIA, who, with her daughters
and intended son-in-law, were
preparing to make a horseback
trip to the Yellow Stone. La
dies should not think of making
such trips unless they have CON
siderable nerve, are fond of wild
game and relish a touch ofhard-
ship and adventure. / have,
however, found very many lady
tourists in these western regions
who enjoyed the experience full
ly as much as the gentlemen. A
few days ago. l met at Almoosa
in Southern Colorado, one of a
! party of fair ladies from the
Eastern States who had been
travelling the entire summer in
a camp wagon or schooner"
through the mountain regions of
Colorado, camping out al night,
having as their only male COM
panion and protector, the stall
wart driver who took care ofthe
team and shot the game for
them which they cooked. This
lady was talented and the asso-
ciate editor of a New England
educational journal. She in
formed me that the expenses of
the party were comparatively
small. They experienced no
fears from any source. They
had fully recovered their health
and were returning east with val
liable stores ofinfcrmation from
which to draw for years to come.
In Northern Minnesota recent
ly met another party of ladies,
who, with their gentlemen COM
panions, were travelling in a
more royal manner, but mani
tested fully as much zest and
fondness for novelty and adven-
ture. They were all from Bos-
ton. They came to Northern
Minnesota in an elegant palace
car manufactured for and be-
longing to them. The coach
was divided into compartments
including berths, sitting room
and kitchen. All lived in this
car, which had been drawn from
point to point wherever inclina-
ton led them. The day we met
them, the car came east over
the Northern Pacific Road and
was switched off at New York
Mills for a short time, while the
gentlemen hunted deer and the
ladies fshed and otherwise
amused themselves. This party
had been absent from Boston
for several months, and were Ia
king solid comfort and enjoy
ment. While the original cost
ola coach is considerable, prob
ably this mode of pleasure trav-
ell is the cheapest in the end, as
hotel bills, railway fares, palace
car extras, and other expenses
attending ordinary travel are
avoided. The party will prob
ably go south next year, con-
tracing with various railway Of
ficials to take their car to such
interesting points as they may
desire to visit from month to
month.-Ame,ican Ag1icultWzt.
