A Remarkable Recovery

As much interest is felt in wounds in
hicted on the liver, because Of the sup
posed passage of the ball which struck
the President through that vital organ,
we record a curious case which occur
red recently IN the practice OF one Of
our town physicians. A little negro
boy whose parents live at GEORGETOWN,
a settlement Of colvred persons near
Charlottesville, but whose name we
cannot now recall, met with an acci-
dent which 1t was believed would prove
fatal. Falling from a tree, which he
had been climbing, upon the sharp
point of q stake which had probably
been used to support 1t when it was
planted, the right side Of the boy was
penetrated and the liver pierced. DR..
Williams G.. Rogers was called to SEQ
the patient, and on reaching him feuud
The liver protrudlng through sne or'nce
and considerably torn, so much so that
be clipped of portion Of 1t about the
size of marble. The exposed organs
parts were replaced, and few stitches
placed in the orince to prevent its pro-
truslon. The liver was torn in the left
edge, where there were not many blood
vessels. and the hemorrhage was not
great, but the surgeon anticipated in
Hammation and probably fatal ter
mlnation. To his surprise the boy im-
proved rapidly and is now entirely well
and does not complain Of lnconvenIsnce
ia any way. The accident occurred
about ak weeks age, and the boy il
new running about as usual. .r.r,.

This Is the view Of the Cincinnati
Gazette: we have in Ohio free trade i'll
liquor, practically. This traffise entails
heavy burdens upon the people, while
it contributes nothing. We refer no"
to the retail business. There are in

Everyone OF these pays a tax 70 the
United States Government, but nothing
to the Slate or municipality. The peo-
pie expected the late Legislature 10
take action in regard to this matter, and
are disappointed. Who is responsible
for this fall1re The most sensible
measure introduced was the Pond Rlll,
! 1t provided tax on the traffic. Hat
it passed, 1900 saloons in this county
| would have been closed, aud the re-
| mainder would have paid into the coun-
ty or city treasury 100000 or $780,
annually. 1t would have operated pro
poruonately well in other cities and
towns throughout the State But pro
hibitioD is the goal.

dren who are having very hard time

and are lied about, and are suffering
unjustly We mustn't think that the
Lord has neglected US. 1t is not our
personal comfort, our personal popu-
larity, that is the test of Gods pres
ence and favot. He is just as near TO

deserted US, as when we are the centre
Of a great circle of love and admiration.
And it is better to have the Lord with
US IN a priscn than to be without tho

There Is lady living in little four
room cottage in the environs of Boston,
whose name is we'll known to literary
people. She depends wholly upon her
own exertions for the support OF herself
and children, and does all her own
housework, yet the cottage IS the focus
of the best society of that locality. A
gentleman calling there recently was
received at the door by a daughter OF
the lady, who told him her mother was
too busy TO be called, but that he could
ace her in the kitchen if he pleased; and
he followed her to that room. The
lady greeted him without the least en-
barrassment, though she had on big
apron aud her sleeYts pinned back ID
her shoulders. She was cutting a pump
kin into strips for pies; and and there
sat a venerable gentleman gravely
pairing the stripes to the accomp n
ment of brilliant conversation. l
was asked to guess who tbs gentle
man was, and after several fruitless at
templs, was told that it was the poet
Longfellow. While the pumpkin par
Ing process was success; another dis
tinguished poet called, and also insisted
upon being impressed into the service.
II was dreary day outside, and no one
cared to leave the pleasant cottage, so
they all stayed to luuch, one oil the
pies forming the piece de resistance O.

thus encouraged, she hustled about TO
make the place comfortable. The
warm, savory smell, aud the noise OF
the frying bacon as it fixed and Kissed
10 the pan, reached the children in their
bed on the floor in little recess Of the
room, and they called out
what is it, mother; who's frying"
Mother is answered Saul Hobson;
'and if you are good and quiet you shall
have a taste.'
Awestruck at their fathers voice,
the children were like mice for the next
few minutes, save whispered comment
or two on the prospect before them.
1t was a sight to behold that family
half an hour later-the poor little wan,
half fed ,scantily-attired children gather
ed around their parents knees, and eat
ing rayenously OF bread aud bacon, with
an occasional sip Of warm tea from the
basin which their fIther used, or the
cracked teacup of their mother. When
they had gone back to their bed, warm
and conten.ed, there was a whisper
among them, and then uprose in tremu'
lsus tones-a little out of tune, perhaps.
and yet surely somehow in tune with
the angels music-the simple words ol
thanks
1--WE thank Thee, Lord, for this our food,
But more because OF Jesus blood;
Let mama to our souls be given,
The bread Of life sent down from Heaven"
Saul Hobson's eyes grew moist with
blessed tears, and he was silent fol
some time. Then he raised the broken
glass in his hand and flung it on the
fireplace. where it fell in dozen pieces
There, Fanny said be, there's my
last glass at the Three Fawns'-tha t's
the last glass of liquor 1 shall ever
drink
Thank God?'
sss sss sss +ss
Eight years have passed away-eishi
happy years for Saul and Fanny Hob
son. Slowly but surely the work oil
reformation has been carried on in that
once miserable family. Almost the
first act ofits head, when he had re-
covered all his articles from the pawn
shop, was TO remove into tidier quar-
ter of the town, and to engage two
rooms.
Being an able workman he soon re-
ceived an advance in his wages, when
his master discovered he could depend
on his punctual attendance; and Sau
began 10 save: He had ideas of better
ing his condition formed in his sober
brain, which in his drink-loving days
could not find room there. And now,
with small capital carefully and pru
dently accumulated year by year, he
has just gone into business as a master
tradesman, with light heart, clear
conscience, and happy home.
Best of all, he aad his wife have be-
come members of Christian churc b,
and are endeavoring to bring up their
family in the fear Of the Lord, which is
the beginning Of wisdom.
Saul Hobson never ceases 10 rejoice
in those circumstances which led him to
decide that he had taken his last glass.
