Rescued from Death.

The following statement of William J.
Coughline, of Somerville, Ma s., is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t the
atteuslon of our readers. He says: "In
the fall of 1876 was taken with vio-
lent bleeding of the lungs followed by a
severe cough. / soon began to lose my
appetite and flesh. / was so weak at
one time that could not leave my bed.
In the summer of 1877 was admitted
to the City Hospital. While there the
doctors said had hole in my left lung
as big as a half dollar. / expended
a hundred dollars in doctors and medi-
cines. / was 80 far gone at one time a
report went around that was dead. i
gave up hope, but a friend told me of
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs.
1 laughed at my friends, thinking that
my case was incurable, but got a bot
tie to satisfy them, when to my sur
psise and qualification, 1 commenced to
feel better. My hope, once dead, began
to revive, and to-day feel better spirit
ed than have the past three years.
"I write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Di-
seased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption can
be Cured. have taken two bottles
and can positively say that it has done
more good than all the other medicines
1 have taken since my sickness. My
cough has almost entirely disappeared
and shall soon be able to go to work.

A Timely Warning or the Experience
Ofa Minister.

If you suffer from general debility,
brought on by too close application to
business and excessive brain-work; or
from increasing prostration and sinking
spells, that even rest or removal OF the
cause will not relieve, make haste to do
as did a reverned friend of ours. He
secured from his druggist bottle of
Browns Iron Bitters, having heard OF
its merit from physician, who told him
not to take any other Bitters or Tonic,
for with the exception of Browns Iron
Bitters they all contained alcohol, and
had failed to give his patients lasting
relief: nor should he take any other
preparation of Iron. for with the ex-
ception of Browns Iron Bitters, they
ali blackened the teeth, and often gave
headache, which Browns Iron Bitters
never did, but in fact cured headache.
The effect was most satisfactory; he
Immediately realized wonderful results.
His old energy returned, his natural
force came back, and he felt himself
altogether q new man, full of health,
strength and vigor, and he has continued
to remain SO ever since. Now he recon-
mends Browns Iron Bitters TO all his
friends which we unhesitatingly do to
all our readers.-Globe.

The Secret of Happiness.

How often have we longed for perfect
enjoyment and how seldom found it.
Misfortune has come, or i'll health over

remedy as DIR. Kings New Discovery

our reach. 1t has cured thousands who
were nearer the grave than ourselves
and made their lives peaceful and happy

Poetry Of the Throttle Valve.

Not long ago an engineer brought
his train to standstill at q little
Massachusetts village where the pas
sengers have five minutes for lunch.
a Lady came along on the platform and
said:
"The conductor tells me the train at
the junction in p. leaves fifteen minutes
before our arrival. 1t is Saturday, and
| that is the last train. I have q very
sick child in the car, and no money for
| hotel, and none for private convey
WSst 19Ss .bo,g iong' Long Ga way in the country.
| "well," said the engineer, "I wish
could tell you.'
"Would it be possible for you to hurry
| little?" said the anxious mother.
"No madam; have the timetable and
| the rules, so must run by ii"
| She sorrowfully turned away, leav-
ing the bronzed face of the engineer
wet with tears. Presently she returned
and said: "Are you Christianf' f''
| "I trust am," was the reply.
| "Will you pray with me that the
Lord may in some way delay the train
at the Junction.
| "Why, yes, I will pray with you,
but have not much faith"
| Just then the conductor cried, "All
| aboard" The poor woman hurried
/ back to the deformed and sick child,
and away went the train climbing the
/ grade.
Somehow" said the engineer, " ev-
erything worked like charm. AS I
prayed, I couldn't help letting my en-
| gine out just a little. We hardly stop
ped at the first station; people got on
| and off with wonderful alacrity, the
conductor lantern was in the air in
half a minute, and then away again.
Once over the summit it was dreadful
easy to give her a little more, as l pray
ed, till she seemed to shoot through the
like an arrow. Somehow 1 couldn't
hold her, knowing had the road, and SO
we dashed up to the junction six min
| utes ahead of time"
There stood the other train, and the
conductor with his lantern upon his
arm.
"Well," said he, "will you tell me
what I am waiting here for? Some
how, felt I must wait your coming to-
night, but don't know why
81 guess" said the brother conduct
or, " it is for this poor woman with her
deformed and sick child, dreadfullY
anxious to get home this Saturday
night"
i But the man on the engine, and the
grateful mother, think they can tell
why the train waited.

Health and Happiness.

1t seems strange that anyone will suf-
fer many arrangements brought on by
an impure condition ofsthe blood, when
Scoville's Blood and Liver syrup will
restore perfect health to the physical
organization. 1t is indeed strengthen
ing syrup, pleasant TO take, and has
proven itself to he the best blood puri-
fer ever discovered, effectually curing
Scrofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness
of the Kidneys, all nervous disorders
and Debility. 1t corrects indigestion.
1t makes the old feel young, and the
young feel gay; and will invariably
drive out of the system the many ills
that human flesh is heir to. A single
bottle will prove to you its merits as a
health renewer, for it acts like charm,
especially when the complaint is of an
exhaustive nature, having tendency
to lessen the natural vigor Of the brain

Constant Companions.

The study of botany is not general
pursuit. There are many who,could not
tell an akene from a silicle to save their
lives, but only ask them If they ever
saw beggars tick, and they will glow
with that true enthusiasm born of sue
cessful scientific research, for there is
at least one page of botany with which
everyone is familiar-the family of the
burrs, the cookies, and the tick-seed.
You are always running against them
in your rambles. They are the vagrants
and vagabonds of the vegetable world,
the vegetable tramps of the highway.
Some of them, like the armed burr
marigolds, are bold and daring, and jab
you with their spears in true highway
man fashion; others, as the agrimony
and enchanter's nightshade, are sly and
cautious, hiding in inconspicuous
places, and eluding your detection
until discovered against the background
or your, garments. But they are all our

A POEM By PRESIDENT GAR
FIELD.

This little pom, from the pen of our be-
loved President, was written before his first
term IN Cou2ress-hence some twenty years
ago. At that time probably the Presidency of
aChristian college Was the summit where
the sunbeams fell" but the last lines are all
but pl plophecy.-C,nctnndtiG Gdzette.
'Tis beauteous night; the stars look brightly
Upon tho Earth, decked in her robe of snow.
No light CLEANS at the window, save my own,
And now. with noiseless step, sweet Memory
And leads me gently through her twilight
What poets tuneful Tyre has ever sung,
OR delicate pencil e'er portrayed,
The enchanted shadowy land where Memory
dwellsg
1t has its valleys, cherries. lone and drear,
And yet its sun-lit mountain-tops are bathed
In Heavens own blue Upon its craggy cliffs,
Ro6ed % in the dreamy light Of distant % years
Upon its gentle. sloping hillside bend
The weeping willows DER the sacred dust
OF dear departed ones: and yet in that land,
where'er our footsteps fall Upon tho shore,
They that were sleeping rise from out the
OF Deaths long, silent years, and round us
As erst they did before the prison-tomb
Received their clay within Its yoceless halls.
The heavens that bend above that land art
With clouds of various hues Some, dark and
surcharEed with sorrow, cast their sOmber
Upon the sunny, Joyous land below.
Others are floating through the dreamy air.
White as the falling snow, their margins
With sold and crimson hues; their shadows
Upon the howery meads and sunny slopes,
Soft as the shadow of an angels wing.
When the rough bsttle of the day is done,
And evenings peace falls gently on the heart,
bound away, across the noisy years,
Unto the utmost verge of Memory's land,
Where earth and sky in dreamy distance
meet,
And memory dim with dark oblivion joins,
Where woke the first remembered sounds that
fell
Upon the ear in childhood's early morn;
And wandering thence along the rolling
years,
see the shadow of my former self
Gliding from childhood up mans estate
The path of youth winds down through many
vale.
And on the brink of many q dread abyss.
From out whose darkness comes no ray OF
light,
Save that a phantom dances DER the gulf
And beckons toward the verge. Again the
Leads Ger the summit where the sunbeams
fall;
And thus in light and shade, sunshine and
sorrow and joy, this life-path leads along.
