Soothing Syrup was just the article
needed, procured n supply for the
child. On reaching home and acGuain-

of Homeopathy, That night the child
passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the
day following, the father found the
baby still worse; and while contem-
plating another slcepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to at
tend some domestic duties, and left

said nothing. That night all hands

of the Central Presbyterian church of this

may De gathered from the Urbana Citi

seemed increditable, but as it was author
itatively confirmed, there was heard a
universal voice of regret from everyone
that the church and city wei q about to
sustain q loss SO great.

he had formed, ana read Gall for con.

thereof, and requesting the congregation
TO join him in requesting the Presbytery
to dissolve the pastoral relations. lie

length, touching the steps that had led
him TO the step he had taken, and trusted

According to Milton. the first thing

survey her charms in silvery pool. Nc
doubt she was q splendid creature. but
beauty is not the heritage of all her
dsug hters, and many Of them resort to
"GLBNN's SULPHUR SOAP" to obtain the
dazzling complexion which Eve received
from nature. The great merit of this
unexcelied cosmetic is that Git leaves no
traces Of artifcial:y. Beware of counter
