TRusr.-Life would be imp,ac,icabIe
unless it were the primary rule to believe
what is told us. There ia not single re-
lation in adult life in which We are no,
compelled to depend upon the word Of
another-of husband, wife. a friend, an
agent. We believe certain things repre-
senting them-their honor. their chastity
their affection. their faithfulness. To VIII at
kind Of condition would life be reduced If
We apply to these matters ",he universal
duty Of questioning all that we believe ?'
In some, at all events, of these relations, it
may be observed. it is in the nature Of the
case impossible that we should have ''suffi
cient evidence" for our belief. 1t is an
unquestionsble fact that many man who
has been trusted, and who has for years
borne an unexceptionsl character, has
proved faithless; and it is quite impossible
I can be sure upon grounds Of evidence
respecting any particular man that he is
incapable Of this baseness. But the FIRST
condition Of genuine and honorable
friendship is to believe this, to refuse to
entertain doubt Q! it, aud, If need be, to
uphold a friend. homo. until he is abso.
lutely proved dishonorable. With respect
to trust exercised iu commercial relations,
il might perhaps be said that it is q mere
application Of the principle Of probabiIi.
ties. As matter Of experience, If custo
mers are trusted, the majority Of them
will fulfil their engagements. It may .bs
doubted whether tradesmen really do &C.
in practice on this mere calculation Of
probabilities; at all events the priuciple
does not apply to the other relations of
life just referred to. It would be an insult
to friend to say you trusted and loved
him, because you thought it more proba
bic be was true than that be was false. He
expects from you, as the primary condi-
ton Of true friendship, that you believe
firmly concerning him that Of which
you cannot possibly have certain eyi-
dence.

GIRLS, TAKE Nor1cE.-The Comtessl
de Bassauville g,ves the following advice
to women who would make themselves
lovely:
"Wheu you are past twenty fve." she
says, ''never let more than Eve or six
hours pass without closing yon' eyes for a
short tims-say ten minutes; not necess
arily to sleep, bat to repoee the muscles Of
the eye" Every movement and plav Of
the face necessarily tends to fatigue these
muscles it be smile o, the ex-
preston Of surprise Or Of fixed nction. The
closing Of the eyeIids At intervals is there
fore recommended as = "beauty rest. !"
Tho muscles, reposed, lose their tendency
to that nervous contraction which tran
states itself into wrinkles.

"What news to day ?" said a
merchant to his friend, lately.
what news ~ responded the
other. Nothing, only things
grow better-people are getting
on their legs again" ''On their
legs ?" said the first. Il don't
see how you can make that out"
why, yes, replied the other /;
folks that used to ride are
obliged to walk now s; is not that
getting Oh their legs again "

The London Telegraph says !:
1T is not poverty, it is beer,
that has robbed the children of
knowledge, Of liberty, morality,
health, and long life. 1t is not
poverty that fills our hospitals
and jails ; it is gin. By the time
that a child can use its hands,
and earn eighteenpence a week,
it is offered up on the altar Of
the great god Gin" s

TIERS have done for me. Fifteen years ago eau ght
violent cold riding in Il rain storm. The next dav
was sick abed with Typhoid fever, and upon
eriug from that two large ulcers broke out, one on
each leg, which kept continually discharging. have
been attended by the best doctors in the country and
at the Bellevue hospital the doctors whshe to take
one leg OF. Nothing that took helped me, and |
made up my mind to die, and did not care il did, for
more miserable being than could not be. My face
was covered with BlotcheS and Scales, and my body
with Eruptions. | have been wheeled around for
the past six years and have spent thousands OF dol
lars. Last spring Dr. Spencer advised me to go to
the seashore, and perhaps the change would do me
good, but to no purpose, as rapidly grew worse and
my wife and friends gave me up. ON the first of July
MT. Moore visited me and brought me bottle of
your SULPHUR BirTERS Tor me 10 take; told
him would not, had no faith in anything. He was
so persistent IN ms demands and my wife also en-
treated me to try it, which did, and TO my unbound
ed JOY i'll few days began to feel better my appe-
tite improved, and food began to look good to me
My bowels began to get regular, thing had not
known for ID wears. The eruptions left my body
those disquieting ulcers on my legs began to cease
discharging and grew smaller every day, and now,
thanks TO a mercful God, am well. | can walk
three miles without fatigue, and have gained in
weight twenty-five pounds. My skin is smooth /
have taken eight bottles and one ulcer is perfectly
cured and the other is rapidly closing up and is now
no larger than pea. May Gods blessing rest on YOU
and your wonderful SULPHUR BITTERS, is the
humble prayer of Yours truly,
