Is t in Answer 70 PRAYER 2

Is the marked improvement in the
condition of the president a direct an
swer to the prayers offered up in his be-
half?
It will be remembered that during the
latest and most severe crisis of his diS.
ease his physicians, even the mist hone
tul of them, were tillss;1i with alarm. and
MS gecoveer1y was almost entirely de-
SPARED of, 1t would be a miracle, said
the watchers by his bedside.
Is it miracle?
That is to say, has there been a special,
extraordinary interference by Divine
Providence to restore him, when he
would not have been restored but for the
prayers of the people? These prayers
became general and tervent in the dark
est hour OF his illness; when, 10, a light,
as from heaYen, began 20 illuminate, the
darkness.
Most people will believe that it was a
direct interpOsition of Divine Provi-
dence. Else what is the good of prayer
Logiclans affect to Tidicule this idea.
They say that the universe is governed
by general laws. But that may be, and
still prayers may be efficacious for it
may be one of the mysterious principles
of the general system that prayers shall
exercise a certain influence, seen only in
its effects, like the law of gravitation.

That shopkeepers never mark their

How to Secure Health.

1t seems strange that any one will
suffer from the many arrangements
brought on by an impure condition OF
the blood, when SCovILLs' SARsAPARIL-
LA AND STILLINGIA, or BLOOD AND LIv-
ER SYRUP, will restore perfect health TO
the physical organization. 1t is indeed
strengthening SYRUP pleasant to take
and has proven itself to be the BEST
BLOOD PURIFIER ever discovered, effee-
tually curing Scrofula, Syphilitic disor-
ders, Weakness of the Kidneys, Erysip-
elias, Malaria; all nervous disorders and
Debility, Bilious complaints and all
diseases Indicating an impure condition
OF the blood, liver, kidneys, stomach,
skin, etc. 1t coIrects Indigestion. A
single bottle will prove to you its merits
as a health renewer, for IL ACTS LIKE A
CHARM, especially when the complaint
is of an exhaustive nature, having a
tendency to lessen the natural Vigor OF
the brain and nervous system.

Comical Children

heard the ounningest little story oi
a little girl the other day. 1t is per-
fectIy true, and exactly what Dolly
Dimple might have done. The little
girl wanted a great many things
amongst others a new doll. She had
broken hers soon after Christmas, and
to teach her to be careful her mother
had said: "L will not buy you a new
one until your birthday" But the
birthday was very far off, and sissy
thought she knew better way. She
had been with her auntie to the bank,
and one day she put on her little hat,
opened the street door, and slipped
softly out, with little slip of paper in
her hand on which she had scrubbed
thrse or four queer little marks with a
lead pencil. There were two banks
near by, and to one she went as fast rs
her little feet could carry her. An old
man was sweeping off the steps.
sis this my auntie's bank?" asked
little sissy.
"It's no place for children" said the
old man; ''go home"
She trotted away, and asked an old
apple woman on the corner where the
other bank was. The apple woman
pointed one out, and sissy made her way
in, went up to the cashiers desk, and
poked up to his window the bit of scrib-
bled paper.
"What's this9 ?" asked the cashier,
peeping out,
"My check" said sissy.
"Oh! said the cashier. "Who are
your"
"Pm Sissy" the little girl replied.
"I must have some money, and I've
come to get it out of the bank. That's
my check"
The cashier was a very good-natured
man, and he took some money from his
pocket and gave it to the child, who
took it and went at once to toy store,
where she invested her money in doll !;
and just as her terrified relatives had be-
gun to despair of ever seeing her, she
trotted into the house with the explana-
tion:
"Good gracious! what you fright
ened about? I've only been to the
bank to get the money for my check"
Another little girl being lost in
Broadway was found by gentleman
who took her into a toy store, bought
her some toys, and asked the proprietor
to keep her there awhile, at least until
he could hand her over to some police
man. lie himself had no time to wait,
as he was obliged to catch train, and
thinking of hls own little ones at home
he was anxious for the child's safety.
The little girl was well contentcd, and
after awhile her mother, accompanied by
a policeman, and in tears, was seen TO
pass the window. "That's my mamma"
said the child. The proprietor OF the
store ran alter the lady, and Miss Kitty
was taken home in safety.
Shortly after this Kitty saw little
girl In the street CRYING. She stopped
and asked her, "What's the matter ?"
.'Oh, IN lostl I'm lostl' sobbed the
child. ''Oh, no matter" said Kitty, air
lily; you'll get taken to a store, and
have toys. Don't you cry Your mann
una will cry enough for bof. New

Keep it, dear Captain, and show it.
Show it to those who will lend an ear,
TO the tale this paper can tell;

And hope to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled on, and weeks became years
But our Golfers are empty still,
Coin was so scarce that the treasury quaked
Ha dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in us was strong
indeed,
And our poverty well discerned;
And these little checks represented the pay,
pc That our Eolqntsers earned. ~
We knewit had hardly value in gold, ..
Yet as gold her soldiers receiged IL;

Aud each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or pay,
Or of bills that were over due,

From the birth of its dream to the last;

Investigating Commission.

EDrroR PaEss'-The excessively false statements
circulated by the s. F. Chrone's for the malicious
object Of preventing the renewal OF our Rscipro-
city Treaty with the United States, should have q
more authoritative answer than has heretofore
been given. II 1t were favorable time TO nero-
tiate for the renewal Of that Treaty, our Govern
nent might well request the Government OF the
United States to send commission 70 investigate
the workings Of the Treaty, and to report on what
ever in our social and political institutions and in
the fact of our important location amidst the com.
merce OF the Pacific, makes It desirable that the
very amicable conventions between the two coun.
tries should be perpstually continued. Tho report
OF such commission would be an e6ectual an.
swer to the ISLANDERS propagAted about ~.
II we do not take tho initiative TO apply for the
renewal OF the Treaty, our enemies Inay surprise
~ when we are least prepared by applying for IL
abrogation at the expiration Of its stipulated
period. Dor chances for obtaining its extension
will be much better when we introduce the sub
ject into the American Congress with full psspa-
ration aud in q favorable way.
An answer might also DO we'll made to the alan-
derous representations made about " by our
Chamber VI Commerce, or better yet BY the
American Minister, whose Office il il 10 carefully
consider whatever Affects the friendahip subsist-
ing between us and his country; such an answer
ably made and widely published in the United
States might make our position all the bsttar
after the slandera because Of the favorable Ia.
formation disseminated about u.s. INA.
