A gentleman prominent in legal circles in

Young woman mentioned, sat down beside

several clumsy bundles which were evidently
n serious annoyance to her seatmate. The
Young woman made no etfart to conceal her
vexation. but in the most conspicuous man

WHY IS 1T

That rheumatism and neuralgia are SC
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable TO neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are Of constant oc-
currence Notuntil the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a s1f3 remedy. If, in the use
of Athlophor0S, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certala, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartie, will be found to he a valuable
aid TO the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonderful efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as a remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
a certain cure for either OF these very COM
mon and distressing dis cases. They have
also been found to be an Invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vtiated
blood or general debility. They are es-

THE DOWN HILL OF LIFE.

The Dogged Resignation Which. Comes
to Men at the Age of 65.
Those who study the passing chronicles of
life in the newspapers of the day, foreign as
well as English, must have been struck by
the increasing number of suicides to be
attributed to the hopelessness and misery of
advancing years. The dismal record of
suicides has its bearing upon the general state
of affairs. With advancing prosperity the
number of those who thus fly the ills of life
remains pretty constant quantity, but any
check to material progress at once swells the
ranks Of the self-Saughtered. Thus, in 1879
suicides made great spring from an average
OF siXty-nine to eighty -one per million, and 1t
is instructive, if not inspiriting, to note that
by far the greater number of cases occur
when the medium line of life is passed. Thus
the number of cases between the ages of a
and 30 is far in advance of those at an earlier
period, while the same remark applies TO the
next decade, although here there is slight
decrease from the one Immediately before it.
After Is logged resignation seems to take
the place of despair, and the number of SUI
cides rapidly diminishes.
Now, if we take the population returns for
the last census, we shall find that, out OF
nearly 26, 000, 900, the population of England
and Wales tho number of men and women
then in existence, and aged 50 years and up
wards, Is Just about 5, 150.G00. on rather more
than one seventh of the whole population;
and We come to the remarkable fact that this
cider seventh furnishes at least half the
number Of suicides And this is surely a
strange fact which makes us speculate as to
the possibility of making life moro endurable
to the rank and file of humanity, especially
to those who are verging into years.
The one encouraging fact is that, according
to general testimony, the first steps toward
age are the worst From 40 to 50 has been
well called the old age Of youthful of re
grets and vainreyolt against the inevitable
But the following decade, the youth OF Old
age is often marked by renewed vigor and
enterprise, if only we are content to follow
the advice of good old Hoyle, ard play the

THE OLD CHAPEL.

From s,inlit elns that gently can't,
The long and sleepy shadows fall
Acrossthe wild grown sol, aslant
The slowly mold ring chapel wall.
The chapel long in rlosSes dressed,
The snail upon the crumbling sill,
Beneath ths caves the swallows nest,
But prove that Gods is natures will.
Washed has the rain its clapboards bare;
The window panes have dropped away;
Now, late the wild grapes cluster there,
And there the thistles bloom in May.
The pigeons coo from out the coop,
The squirrel heard but still unseen,
The passing Of schoolboy group,
Can scarce awake the umh'ring scene.
Within those walls what shouts have rung
In days when virtue virtue wed;
How often there the choir has sung;
There echoed up the funeral tread
But now its shattered walls unite
No more the village sires in prayer;
And yet, it seems, by day and night
\ sacred spirit fingers there
Oh, nursing of its happy p!iElc,
With wrinkles deepning athy brow,
Say, is it not akin to crime
TO see it TINS forsaken now?
Meath sixty summers sun and shower;
They say its time is almost through;
But still, o chapel, thou hast power
To warn the false and guard the true,

1t is a sad commentary on the perceptions
of equity and justice of civilized man that the

married women to have and hold property
two years before the law was passed securing

in this particular. And it may be news to

ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity Of the blood, which
is the cause Of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.

Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others 1t
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy fair trial.
