A Grateful Mother.

My little boy when only two years
old had what was said to be stroke
OF paralysis, affecting his right limb,
and for many months he could not
walk. His health became exceeding
ly feeble. No one ever dreamed he
would ever recover from his misfor-
tune, and hope had left my own
heart of ever rearing him TO man
hood. Finally he commenced to
use his limbs little, but the ankle
joint had become impotent, and in
attempting to walk his loot would
turn to one side, and the ankle bone
would touch the floor. With that
anguish which only mother can
feel, / first realized he was TO be q
cripple all his life. With the aid of
steel ankle brace he was enabled TO
get around the house. His health
was completely shattered, and with
an aching heart and gravest appre-
hension ! watched the livid expires
sion Of countenance and splotches
on his face that would come and go.
What a widowed mothers affection
could do was done, hut with little
permanent benefit. Being assured
by friends that Swift's Specific would
do him good, through their kindness
l secured several bottles. com
menced 10 give it to my child about
the first OF last July (18S4). The
Gret t,.ttIo ontnA l,Iyo n ali arvn ,,nop
his system. After taking the sec
ond bottle his complexion cleared
up and strength began TO increase.
He threw away his braces several
months ago, and now walks better
than he ever did with it. The ankle
joint has regained its strength and
the 100. its proper position, and the
large lump on the ankle, caused by
friction and unnatural use has dis
appeared. He is now in his sixth
year; his health is as good and he is
as lively as any child of his age.
He has taken six bottles of 5. S. s.
only, but the change has been won
derful, and everybody who had seen
him before he commenced to take
the medicine are astonished at his
appearance now. For the first time
since his illness / feel in my heart
the hope of rearing him. With de-
vout gratitude to Him who gave
him, | bless the day ever heard OF
this remedy. 1t has saved to me
my child.

While wandering around New Or

fifteen years of Mobile, saw Loaisi-

A Sad Death.

All reliable reports forbid us to
count on more than half OF an aver
age wheat crop this year. The fail
ure is general from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and the season, so far,
promises but a short crop of corn.
People who have not been obliged to
sell their surplus of grain at the low
prices prevailing will probably find
good market at home for all they
have been able to keep on hand. 1t
may turn out that the unsold surplus
carried over from last year will be
needed for consumption in more than
one state where it was raised. We
have before seen low prices and a
glut of grain followed the very next
season by scarcity and high prices.
Breadstutfs are abnormally low now,
in proportion to the price Of bread
and meat, and as the superabund-
ance of grain has not made those ar
tlcles cheap, the price of grain can
go up considerably without making
them necessarily dearer

ed from the greatly strained times we
have. If the Hospital should continue to
require a support of 5000 pa. from the
Public, it might be taken under considera-
tion if the Public ought not to partake in
the supervision Of the hospital. However,
as His Excellency says, the proposed aid
may be supposed to be only temporary,
and it may be expected that private par
ties when better times come, will com
mence to contribute their portion. The
Children's Hospital does not become I'M
necessary by the other hospitals in tow
since children will get more care in this
special hospital than in the ordinary hospi-
tails, where of course only sick children
will be admitted in the children'S hospital
are admitted also children needing care
and food. H~4Nhought that if the Govern
.ment can find its way to accept this pro-
posal, 1t would not well do for the Council
to refuse.

would beg to second the arguments adj
vanced by the last honorable Speaker.
He too (LemmingJ believed that this Hos
pital is to the benefit of the island, since
every child's life saved is of great value,
as in time to come that child will become
q labourer. If the hard times now make it
SO that private assistance is not as plenti-
full as before, it is tn be hoped that it will
not be so in future, and that, therefore, the
assistance from the Public Funds will not
be asked for beyond what is absolutely
necessary. He would therefore now beg to
add his recommendation in favour of this
proposal.

3rd Crownmember tAnd6r8en) said he
had not communicated more Of the detailed
statement given him by the physician of
the children'S hospital, from the desire to
spare the Councils time; but he would
now beg to say, chat 147 children have
been admitted in the hospital Of that
number are children from the country

children cared was 9, this year Z. He
hoped these statements would be >atiSfac-
tory to the |hon0urable Member.
2nd Member for FrederikSted'S Country

the daily attendance was much more than

No one else desired the word; the pro-
posal to increase the amount in aid of the
