Cured by Faith.

Mr.. William Circuit, who lives in
Hudson, N. Y, told New York Sun
reporter of the extraordinary manner
in which he was cured of painful dis
ease of his eyes that had practically
made HIM blind for four years. Dur
ing this time he suffered terribly, and
was all the time under the best medical
treatment he could procure. At vari-
Gus times seventeen medical men were
engaged on his case, including the best
oculists of this city. They did not Civ
him the slightest relief. One day, as +
was sitting in his darkened room, he
overheard his wife tell friend that the
family did not expect William to re-
cover, but they did not tell him so be
cause he still had hopes of getting well
He was terribly shocked by what he
heard, for he never once lost hope of
regaining his eyesight. He staggered
to his bedside, fell on his knees and
prayed rs he had never prayed before
that God would restore his sight. Sud-
denly he heard a voice saving: -.'Get
some clay" He was almost overcome
when he heard the voice, but he had no
doubt whatever that the words were an
answer to his prayer. His uncle pro-
cured some clay for him. His wife OBJ
jected to his making any use of the
clay, and for five days he kept it under
the stove, not knowing how it would be
best to apply it. He prayed earnestly
for guidance in the matter, and on the
fifth day, as he was sitting in his room,
he heard the voice again. 1t distinctly

the pieces from under the stove and
found that they had been baked hard,
in which condition, as he afterward
found, the clay could be most effectively
applied. He placed the clay in con-
tact with each eyelid. 1t stuck to them
like leeches, and finally could not be
removed except by using considerable
force. The removal of the clay was
followed by the complete restoration Of
sight.

No children in this world-no baby age
Only the prudent man or thoughtful sage;
Only the woman wise: no little arms
To clasp around our neck: no baby charms,
No loving care,
No sinless prayer,
No thrill OF hsping song, no pattering feet,
No infant heart against our heart to beat

A Tough Story.

A very, very tough story, in which
chicken, a rat, a cat, d dog and boy
figured, was going the rounds in the
East End yesterday. The story is
Souched for by good authority, and on
this account is all the more remark
able. 1t is related that Mr.. Sam Nc
Curdy was sitting meath the shade of q
tree in the back yard of his residence
on Clay, near Franklin Street, talking
to some friends, when his attention was
called to hen with brood of young
chickens, and large rat that had just
emerged from his hole and was quietly
regarding the young chickens with the
prospect of meal in view. As the rat
came from his hole the house-cat awoke
from her afternoon nap and caught
sight of the rat. Crouching low. she
awaited developments, and stood pre-
pared to spring upon his ratship. AT
the appearance of his ancient enemy,
the cat, Scotch terrier, which had
been summing itself in the woodshed,
pricked up its ears and quietly made
for the place where the cat stood. At
this moment boy named Andy Quad
came upon the scene. The chickens
we're not cognizant of being watched
BY the rat, nor did rat see the cat, nor
the feline the dog, who had not noticed
the coming of the boy.
A little chick wandered too nigh, and
ne was seized by the rat, which was in
turn pounced upon by the cat, and the
cat was caught in the mouth of the
Dog. The rat would not cease his hold
On the chicken. and the cat, in spite of
The shaking she was getting from the
dog, did not let go the rat. 1t was fun
for the boy, and in high glee he watched
the contest and the struggle of each of
the victims. 1t seemed to him that the
rat was about to escape after time,
and, seizing a stone, he hurled it at the
rodent. The aim was not good, and the
stone struck the dog right between the
eyes. The terrier released its grip on
the cat and fell over dead. 1t. had
breathed its last before the cat in turn
let go the rat and turned over and died
The rat did not long survive the enemy.
and by the side of the already dead
chicken he laid himself down and gave
up the ghost.
The owner of the dog was so angry
at his death that he is said to have come
near making the story complete by
killing the boy that killed the dog that
shook the cat that caught the ras that
bit the chicken on Clay Street-Louis-
clle Courier Journal.

"A good man in northern New York
had lived happily with an excellent
wife until they were well lion in years,
when she died. He bethought him of

they had been comfortable through
many long winters, would be just what
she would like tohave if she had . vote

Will Power Exemplified.

A rather odd circumstance happened
on Tuesday. Mrs. A. and her daugh-
ter, of Pynchon Street, called upon her
relative, Mrs. B.. of Central Street, to
spend the day and evening. On their
way thither they remarked how pleas
ant it would be if Mrs. BIS daughter,
Mrs. c., of Hartford, could only be
there, too. This remark was repeated
to Mrs. B. upon their arrival at her
house, and she said that she had
thought of the same thing. Then one
of the three recalled the old proverb
that the combined wishes of three
women can bring any person from any
place, and the reply was that if wish.
ing would accomplish anything, Mrs.
G. would come. Mrs. b. prepared .
strawberry shortcake for tea, saying
that her Hartford daughter, Mrs. c.,
was fond of it, and that she was going
to lay plate for her at the table Just
as though she was there. As they
were sitting down to tea the door-bell
rang, and in came the much-wished-for
Mrs. c., greatly to their surprise.
When asked how she happened to
come, she replied that she had no idea
of coming till that day, and that she
decided to do so because she had been
..tormented with the impression that
somebody wanted to see her" So,
acting wholly upon impulse, she started
off as she was, without stopping to
s.pripk." and took the cars. She is
not accustomed to come to Springfield
very often, not having been here before
for about q year, fact which makes
the circumstance all the stranger. 1t
would certainly seem as though by
means of some occult mental telegraphy
the wish so fervently felt and expressed
in Springfield reached and impressed
itself upon the woman's mind in Hart
ford.-Springfeld Moss. Homestead.
