A remarkable cure effected in a stub
born case is thus recorded by our Bern
vile correspondent, to whom the in
valid made the statement, which he
gives as follows: Mrs. Jacob Sunday.
of Jefferson Township, was, for several
years, a severe sufferer, and under the
treatment of good physicians. She
grew worse, and was confined to the
house for three months, unable to walk
and hardly able to sit or lie. Several
weeks ago she resolved to try the Ham
burg drops. Very shortly after she
had taken a dose of the remedy, she
experienced relief, and was able to
walk across the room. She continued
to take the medicine and recently de-
clared herself entirely cured, and is
able to attend to her daily work, as well
as when seventeen years of age.

A similar anecdote has often been
told Of the late Thomas Binney. DR..
Harris, the author Of the ''Mammon,"
had begged his services for some ami
versary, and Binney declared his utter
inability to prepare a sermon-in those
days he was a strictly extempore speak
er. 1t was urged, ooh come and preach
such and such a sermon; that is ready
to your mind" And so Mr. Binney
promised that he would take the SER
vice; but he also, having got through
two heads of the discourse, became be-
wildered 'Thirdly-thirdly-I've for
gotten what was thirdly" he said; and
he looked over the pulpit to where DR..
Harris was sitting. Brother Harris,
and said: so and So" Exactly"
said the diecomfted preacher, who pur-
sued his way with ease and happiness
to the close.

The Tide OF Emigration

To the great West seems always at the food.
As the great forests are swept away, and settle
ments are established along the streams OF that
vast region, an enemy obtrudes himself among
the homes Of the settlers scarcely less to be dread
ed than the barbarous indians. Fever and ague
scourges those communities, and 1t Is only by
the use of an efficient preventive that its alarous
breath can safely be inhaled. Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters fortifying and protective medicine,
without a rival on this continent, has for quar-
ter of century been the chief resource OF the
new settler the miner and agriculturists of the
west in the time of sickness, his surest safeguard
against the inroads of disease. This medicine, be-
sides being an antidote to malaria, counteracts the
effects of exhaustion, harhships and exposure and
remedies rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipation and
debility.
Oh, there is nothing holier in this
life of ours than the consciousness of
love-the first fiuttering of its silken
wings first rising sound and breath
of that wind which is so soon to sweep
through the soul, to purify or to des-
troy.
