Along their forest pathway arched with

And from the fiower-fastnesses out crept,
To weave new love-spells for my Fancy's

THE STORY OF TWO oLD PEOPLE

Once he was twenty and she only ten,
She was child, he scarcely in his prime;
Youth seemed so long and age SO distant then,
And noon came not. as now, ere morning
time.
But later on they CHANGED again to meet,
And he was thirty and she twenty now.

sweet,
And passed, with careless heart and cloud
less brow.
Ten years Ia weary round) roll on again.
Whose days and weeks, so like each other,
pass,
That. when they meet, It's he, with sudden
pain,
Who cries, in turn, why, she is old, alas %
But often on those tender April eyes,
When hearts beat time to tender melodies,
"Why was 1 never loved ?" he asks-and
grieves.
why did never love?" she asks-and sighs.
And now, opprest with vain regret, they say.

"Children, enjoy the sunshine while you may.
And pluck the flower in its morning bloom"

A FATAL MISTAKE.


The Czevelauo (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DIR. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
In attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de.
rangement of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guid feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
Of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perl'ier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Haliiwell OF the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
Of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what tie disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SILAEE1: EXTRACT OF
RooTs, OF SE1GEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of it's
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too vo.uminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an!
extensive sale.

MECHANISM OF THE FOOT OF THE HORSE.
The foot Of the horse is one of the most
ingenious and unexampled pieces of mech
anism in animal structure. The hOof
contains series of vertical and thin lamina
Of horn, amounting to about 500, and form
ing complete lining to it. In this are
fitted as many lsmin@ belonging to the cof.
fin-bone, while both sets are elastic and
adhersnt. The edge Of quire of paper,
inserted leaf by leaf into another, will con.
vey q sufficient idea of the arrangement
Thus the weight of the animal is supported
by as many elastic springs as there are
laminse in all the fest, amounting to about
1000, distributed in the most secure man
ner, since every spring is acted on in al
oblique direction.
"Would you say the poultry is very ten
der or the fowl is very tender?' asked th,

All in Accordance with Law.

l am sitting, on summers day, in
the shadow of great New England
elm. Its long branches hang motion
less; there is not breeze enough to
move them. All at once there comes
faint murmur; around my head the
leaves are moved by gentle current
of air; then the branches begin to sway
to and fro, the leaves are all in motion,
and soft, rushing sound fills my ear.
So with every one that is horn of the
Spirit. l am in a state of spiritual
lethargy, and scarcely know how to
think any good thought. | am heart
empty, and there comes, l know not
where or whence, sound Of the Di-
vine presence. l am inwardly moved
with new comfort and hope, the day
seems to dawn in my heart, sunshine
comes around my path. and am able
to 60 to my duties with patience. l
am walking in the spirit, am helped
by the help of God, and comforted
with the comfort of God. And yet,
This is all in accordance with law.
There is no violation of law when the
breezes come, stirring the tops of the
trees; and there is no violation of law
when God moves in the depths of our
souls and rOuses us to the love and
desire of holiness. james Freeman
