Encourage all invalids by the names
! of those who had the same malady and
recovered. instead OF discOursing upon
! the snnken eye or asking them If they
| think the color in their cheek is hectic,
| OF telling them of all the people you
have known in which the same disease
ended fatally, OF exclaiming how bad
they look. Cheerful words are more
soothing than chlOral, more stimulating
than cOgnae, more tonic than all bit
ters. Many an invalid has recovered
through the influence of cheerful sur
rOundings.

and draw the curtain of your lips close
down over them and put your hand over

all his property to two SONS. The one
son staying at home destroyed the last
will and testament Of his father, and de-
clared that his long absent brother was
dead and all the property belonged to
him. the living son. The absent brother
returned and claimed his share. The
trial came in Court, and Judge and
jurors were brlhed 10 declare that the
returned son was no son at all, hut an
impOstOr. Sir Matthew Hale, the pride
of the English Courtroom and Of all
jurisprudence for the last 200 years,

robes and put on the garb OF a miller
and went to the village where the trial
WAS going on, got into the Courtroom
and was chosen as juror. Ten pieces
of gold were given to the other Jurors
and five pieces to Sir Matthew Hale in
the miller's dress The jury came in
with verdict against the right OF the
returned brother. Then one of the jurors
rose and said: Hold, My Lord, we are
not all agreed. The other jurors have
ten pieces of gold given them in bribe.
