"What was the text, May ?"

Chow did you like the new minister ?"
ooh! he's splendid! And Kate Darling
was there, in a Spanish lace cap that never
cost a cent less than fifty dollars; and they
can't pay their butchers bills, and I'd wear
cotton lace, or 60 without any, first"
"Did he say anything about the new mis-
sion fund ?'
"No; and the Jones' girls were all rugged
out in their yellow silks, made over; you
would have died laughing to have seen
them. Such taste as those girls have; and
the minister gave out that the Dorcas Socie-
ty will meet at Sister Jones' residence--that
poky old place."
"It seems that you didn't hear much of
the sermon"
"Well, Pm sure it's better to 60 to church,
if you don't hear the sermon, than to stay at
home and read the papers and, oh Harry,
Cne new minister mas lovely VOICE IL near

the Richs' are home from Europe, and Mrs.
Rich had real camel's hair shawl on, and
it didn't look like anything on her"
A long silence ensued, during which Har-
ry thought of good many things, and his
wife was busy contemplating the sky or
view, when she suddenly exclaimed:
''There! I knew I'd forgot to tell you
something. Would you believe it, Harry,
the fringe on Mrs. Jones' parasol is an inch
deeper than mine, and twice as heavy!
Oh! dear, what world of trouble this is"

and sufferings experienced during the gale by
the oystermen. The wind reached velocity
Of fifty miles an hour The bay is covered with

The schooner G. A. Kirvin, Capt. j. S.

The crew, except one sailor, were saved on
the following morning by the pungy Annie

wrecked crew were found clinging half frozen
to the rigging. Capt Thomas reports also
seeing the schooner Seamaa's Bride sunk off

tending clear to the back Of my head, tended to
make life miserable. l have been treated by a
number of our best physicians, and have used any
number of proprietary medicines, all to no avail,
obtaining no relief. How long would have col-
tinued in this way do not know; in fact de-
SPARED of getting relief until neighbor, who had
b, en- very much benefited by the use of Hunts
Remedy, advised me to try it, and although had
no faith that it wonld reach my case, yet as he
spoke SO highly of its great merits l decided to
give it trial. and its use has been attended with
the very best possible results. Twelve hours.afteI
