Heroic Ladies.

The Aroostook Republican says the
heroic work of the ladies in the re-
cent fire at Fort Fairfield deserves
more than a mere notice. No sooner had
the alarm of fire been given than women and
girls rushed to rhe rescue of those Who need
them most They took care of helpless chill
dren, removed the sick, and carefully re-
moved the household goods, watched and
protected them from those who came to pill
fer and then when the great contest came,
the last hope of saving anything above
the postoffice, they took their stand,
formed lines to the river, passing buckets and
pals all along the line; they even went up
on the ladders and fought with almost super
human strength, while many stout abe-bodied
men stOod'by and looked on complacently.
One young lady who was nearly exhausted
asked one of these burly fellows to take her
place and relieve her moment, but he cool
ly replied you are doing well, keep on"
Several of the girls faced the flames when
their clothes caught fire, one had her hat
burned off and one her hair burned consider-
ably.

PATH CURE.
8hsumatism Yields 10 Prayer ef he "
G. Il. o.

About two months ago Mrs. W. A. Win.
chester Of this city, was taken ill With Sc.
we're attack of rheumatism, which bafaed the
best efforts of the physicians. Two weeks
ago she was unable to move without assistance
and she suffered the most acute pain, in hel
arms and lower limbs. She continued in tina,
condition for some time, until she was visited
one afternoon recently by ladies from the Wo.
mems Christian Temperance Union. Prayer
Tor the return Of health to the afflicted lady,
was sent forth.
At noon of that day she was upable to move.
and at her request her husband changed her
position on the couch where for days she had
suffered the most intense pain. Shortly after
fervent PRAYER had been uttered. She was
able to leave the bed unaided, and in the
evening of that day she surprised her hus.
band by receiving him sitting in a chair.
From that time she has rapidly gained, and
yesterday was attending TO household duties.
She can easily ascend stairs, which she has
not been able to accomplish for months.
During the term of her convalescence a ply
stefan has been in attendance. but it is affirmed
that only small portion of the medicine pre-
scribed was taken By her. She states tina,
her rapid recovery was the result of the pray
er offered for her, so great is her faith in that
direction.
1t will be remembered as parallel case that
some few years ago young lady whose pa
rents reside in West Bath, was quite ill in
this city and thought to be in consumption,
and all hopes as to her recovery were given
up. The patient prayed fervently and got
better in response to her prayer as she be-
lieves, and her relatives were agreeably sur
prised shortly after to learn of her recovery
from her long sickness. She is now in good
health.-Bo<h Times
