WoMEN's RELIEF. Earth has no
sorrow that heaven cannot heal, '
whether arising from physical, men
tai, or moral sources. The promises
and consultations Of the gospel fur
nish abundant remedies for all spir-
itual or mental woes, and the Crca
tor has stored, in the kingdom of
Nature, remedies for every physical
ailment For ages these remedies
were allowed to lie dormant, through
the ignorance of mankind rs to their
uses, and for ages more but little at
tentiOn was given to remedies for
the peculiar Affections of woman,
who was looked upon and trcatodas
IL slave by lordly, and then brutal
man, and her suffering regarded
with beastly indifference, In later
times, science and Christian philan-
throphy have come to her relief, de
yising remedies for her peculiar
weakness, which have been combin-
ed in DR.. Piercc's Fayoritc Prcscrip-
tion, remedy that cures the pains,
aches, nausea, displaccmonts, vast
ing and debiltating Affections to
which she is constantly exposed.
"Fayoritc Prescription. is the only
medicine for women, sold by drug
gists, under II positive guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will
give satisfaction in every case, or
money be refunded. This guarantee
has been printed on the bottle-wrap-
per, and faithfully carried out for
many years.

A LITTLE LOVE- Blossom. -Sunbury
has been thrown into fever of ex-
citemCnt by n five weeks old baby.
II appears Saturday morning when
W. s. Rhoads, who is John Haas
chief clerk, was opening the shutters
of the office ON Chestnut street, he
was startled by sort of crying
noise. Sure that there was some
thing wrong, he called to II domestic
i'll the employ of DIR. Martin, who
was sweeping the pavement on the
opposite side of the street, and ask.
ed if she had heard any noise she
said she had, and by that time
Rhoads had discovered basket
standing on the door step of Haas
residence. The girl came over and
together they commenced mwrap-
ping the bundle, an 10 there was II
baby pretty little baby boy, with
dark hair, blue eyes, and oh SO
hungry. Rhoads did not wish to
arouse Haas, so the little one was
taken tothc residence of Mrs. George
Weir and tondcrly cared for.
The clothes that surrounded the
infant bore no mark whatever Be
sides the undcrclothing there were
two little white muslin slips neatly
made and Il heavy black and gray

Miss Miller, who is Il member of
Mr.. Haas family, saw two tall men
dressed in black and carrying II has
kct approaching the house mid
night. They saw her and rciiaccd
their steps.
The affair created an unusual stir
around town and the gossips were
busy finding the owner of the baby.

disappointed At last the truth camt
