Truth is Mighty,

AS the little leaven hid in the measure of

comes all doubt and disbelief. When DR..

Favorlte Prescriptionlwoul positively cure the
many diseases and weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men, some doubted, and continued to employ
the harsh and caustic local treatment But the
mighty truth gradually became acknowledged.
Thousands Of ladies who had uselessly under

Is 1T A RESORT FOR GHOSTS?

On the left of the road leading to Gran

Granteville, Staten Island, is q fne-lookrg
three-story mar sion. 1t is but a short
distance from the site of the residence of one
Polly Eoydne, who, thirty years ago, was
tried on the double charge of murder and
arson, The house has now been standing
many years, and recently the village has
been aroused by the story that the structure
is haunted. The particular portion of the
premises which are said to be disturbed by
ghostly visits is a bed-chamber over the rear
kitchen extension The house was last oc
cupied by Mr.. David Decker, whose daught

family lived there but short time, how
ever, when the young ladies complained of
queer noises and mysterious movements Of
the furniture in the apartments between
midnight and o'clock A. NJ Their flther
laughed at their story, and attributed the
strange manifestations to their excited i'm

to sleep in the room, however, pleading n

BREACH OF PROMISE HALL.
now a RICH BELLE SPENT MONEY OBTAIN
ED BY A BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT

As strolled around the close of Christ
Church Cathedral, a day or two ago, my
companion. member of the Montreal press,
stopped nc as we reached an odd.looking
brick structure occupying the Northwestern
| corner OF the grounds. This he said, is
Breach Of Promise Hall :; it is monument
| to one of the many queer romances OF this
queer city. There was great deal to take
stock off, The hall was of the gloomy Goth
ic pattern, finished in stained wood. 1t
serves for the meetings of the Anglican
Synod, is 4 lecture and Sunday school room,
and IL garnished with abundance of Gospel
texts in red Lombard letters. One half Of
the building is used as Il theological college.
| listened 10 the following tale Some time
ago, when society in Montreal was great
deal ,trictcr than it is now, Miss Gait "a
daughter Of John Gait, the novelist, AID
sister of the present Sir Alexander r. Gait
whom you Americans have several mi llions
of reasons for knowing from his connection
with the Halifax fisheries award-was a
great belle here The Galt5 were prominent
people, aS much from the fathers fame as
an author and as the founder of the towns
of Guelph and Gait, in Ontario as from the
political and commercial eminence of the
son Alexander. Among the wealthy mer-
chants Of Montreal was Mr.. Smith, whose
name still stands in the firm of smith &
COchrane in the stock raiser at Compton.
Smith wooed Miss Gait ardently, aud they
became engst red. But between the betroth.
nj aud the time fixed for the welding Smith
saw and became infatuated with a Miss
MacFarland, regally beautiful woman, and
he coolly Tilted Miss Gait Miss MAcEar-
land was not mpervious to the advances Of
a rich sultor like Smith, nor was She dis
inclr ell to enjoy triumph over NJ Gait,
But she he'd bit Of history. She had
long been loved by, and really did love q
fine young fellow in Three Rivers named
John Baptist Baptist was handsome, clev-
er and entcrprsing, but he was poor, while
Mss MacFarland was ambitious and in.
Farland were married in grand style Hard
ly had they got settled drwn in their new
home before Miss Gait instituted a suit tor
breach of promise The suit was not ini-
tiated for the purpose of eXtortiug money
damages from Smith but for puui-h hment,
for Miss Gait declared she would never touch
penny of Smiths coin in the event If n
verdict in her favor. The trial resulted in
a verdict for 1000 damages. That mon
ey she invested for the benefit of the church
in the purchase OF the grounds upon which
the Synod House, the dwelling attached and
tie Bishops palace are situated, and the
ercuon of the hall for a church school.
Every penny of the judgment was spent in
this way. Smith died two years after his
marriage leaving the bulk of his fortune to
his widow. That cstimable lady, as soon as
brief season of mourning was passed, gave
her hand and Smiths capital to Jobnny
Baptist, who had faithfully waited for her,

A SG0rCll HERO.

The Able Reynal was the first to give
publicity to the following remarkable in
stance of Highland ingenuity ard courage.
The hero of it was a sergeant of Montgom-
ery's igbland Regiment and his lame
Allan Macpherson. Being taken prisoner
by the Indians, he was doomed TO witness
the miserable spectacle of several Of hi
com,Hlys tortured to death. Seeing them
preparing to commence the same operations
upon himself, lie made signs tnat he had
something to communicate. An Interpreter
was brought. Macpherson told them that,
provided his life WAS spared for few mia
utes, lac would communicate the sccre. OF an
extraordinary medicine, which, if applied
strongest blow Of tomahawk or sword, and
that il they would allow him to go to the
woods with Il guard to collect the plants
proper for this medicine, he would prepare
it, aud allow the experiment to be tried on
his own neck by the strongest and most eX-
pert warrior among them. The story
easily gained upon the superstitiOus creduii-
ty Of the Indians, and the request of the
Highlander wss Immediately complied with.
Being sent into the woods, he soon returned
with such herbs as he chose to pick up.
| Having boiled these herbs, he rubbed his
neck with their juice, and, laying his head
on log of wood, desired the strongest man
among them to strike at his neck with his

Indian, leveing a blow with all his might,
cut with such force that the head flew of n
to the distance of several yards. The In
dians were fxeed with amazement at their
own creduity, and the address with which
the prisoner had escaped the lingering death
prepared for him but instead of being en-.
ragged at this escape of their victim, they
we're so pleasedwith his ingenuity that they
retrained from iuActing further cruelties on
the remainder of the prisoners.
