A SURPRISED Physician.

A DING PATIENT RECEIVERS THROUGH The
ISrERPosIrIcS OF AN HUMBLE GERMAS.-
Sore weeks ago Or. c., a very reputa-
bic and #id5ly-hnown physician, living on
c. street, was called to attend very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house he found a man about
forty years of age, lying in prostrated and
serious condition, with his whole frame dan
gerously affected with the painful disease.
He prescribed for the patient, but the man
continued to grow worse, aud on Sunday
evening he was found to be in very alarm
ing condition. The knees and Elbows and
larger joints were greatly inhamed and
could not be moved. 1t was only with ex-
treme difficulty that the patient could be
turned in bed, with the aid Of three or four
persons. The weight Of the clothing was
so oppressive that means had to be adopted
20 keep it from the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance w6uld
be of no avail, and left the house, the item
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. At this critical hour, a
ncightpr, poor and humble German shoe
maker, appeared to the grlef-smitten ones
as saving angel. He had heard OF the de-
spair OF the family, and now asked them to
try his re'iedy, and accordingly brought
forth bottle OF ST. JACOBS oIL. As a
drowning man will catch at strawsj so the
poor vile applied this remedy she had no
hope, btt would try anything, as a matter
OF duty. The first application eased the
patient very muchi alter few hours they
used it again, and, wonder Of wonders, the
pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent
application improved the sufferer, and in
two days he WAS well and out. Wien the
doctor called few days after, he was in
deed surprised; for, instead of corpse,
he found a new-made man.-Erchdnge.

also confess a desire that the religious part OF
their education should be loft to myself. feeling
some confidence in my ability. and not wishing to
put the State to that expense Therefore decidedly
object to the public school teachers devoting
any time to that department. at least during
the hours set apart for thcir secular duties.
My reason for complaining is that in the school

other religious and sectrian exercises In

that that programme is in accordance with tho
claims of non-scctarianism in the public schools,
