Going to Bed.

Mr.. EDIToR:-M hilc spending few
days at Tie pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwith, Ca,li- HuHhile, Wales,
heard related what sccued 10 M either

The story was thnt II poor sufferer who

six long years given up o lie by III the
Doctors, had been speedily. cured by
some Patent Medicine. il was 'eiatod
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as WAS said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could Vouch Tor the truth

Having little curiosity to know how

hours conversation, principally touching

seemed to take u deep and sympathetic
interest having been familiar with his
sutferings, and now rcjoiced in what

The Vicar remarked that he presumed
his name had been connected with the
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, a chemist of
Llanon. He said MIR. Pugh was former.

living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character as n respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable
Vicar with a liveier sense of the happy
relation of a pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympalhiseu

Mr.. Pugh remarked that his neigh.

years. but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by happy change in
his condition. What you report us hav-
