Puzzled The Doctors. /"

MOST OF the cases cured by Ayers
wi Sarsaparilla have been given up
by the regular practice. Physicians are
recommending this medicine more than
ever, and with satisfactory results.
e. NJ. Sargent, Lowell, Mass, says -
Several years ago, my daughter broke
out with large sores on her hands.
face, and other parts of her body. The
case puzzled the doctors. My daughter
used Ayers Sarsaparila, and it resulted
IN complete cure. Her blood seems to
have been thoroughly purified, as she
has never had so much as a pimple
since taking this medicine"
This is to certify that after having
been sick for twelve years with kidney
disease and general debility, and having
been treated by several physicians with
out relief, am now better in every re-
spect, and think am nearly well,
having taken seven bottles of Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Maria Ludwigson,

Feathers.

There is aetory told OF two friends
who loved each other exceedingly
for many years. At last a coolness
sprang up between them. Little by
little they driftcd apart, until, from
being dear friends. they became
worse than strangers. they became
enemies.
1t all came from the false and ma
licious tongue Of the younger of the
two. He would speak thoughtlessly
aud unkindly and hecllessly of his
former friend.
So they lived for some time and
In many ways the elder OF those
friends was made to feel what a great
matter q little fire would kiDdle.
Doubts OF his honesty, suspicious Of
his truthfulness, dis,rlst Of his pro-
fessiops began TO gov stronger ev-
cry day.
Under the weight Of such cloud
the man fell sick. Day by day he
grew worse until at last mo hope was
the verdict of the grave physician.
The false friend was struck wi h
remorse as the news reached him,
and Fastening TO his neighbours
house asked TO bo admitted. He
was led TO The bedside and then, by
request Of the dying man, vas lett
a'one with him.

Rupert thought the dying man was

BROCK springs Miner.l

lRock Springs Miner.l
The telegraphic accounts of the royal
wedding in England Of Princess Louise to
the Earl of Fife brings back to our mem
DRY scenes of long ago. Some time in the
latter part OF the fifties the present reign
ing queen of the British Empire opened
a new bridge across the river Dee, at the
Ign o'Quoich, in the highlands OF Bram-
ar, Scotland. A beautiful floral arch
was erected in honor Of the event,
through which the queen passed with her
royal equipage on her way to the bridge.
She sat in her open carriage, and as it
drew neal the. magnificent floral decora-
tons she cast her eyes upward and they
rested for a moment CT two upon two
boys, who stood out prominent on each
side of the arch, dressed in full highland
costume. A smile and graceful bow
Of the head was the recognition each
received as they stood erect like a
statue, motionless and speeches., the
wind of the mountains toying with their
kilt and plaid. The boy to the right of
her majesty was Lord McDuff, the pres
ent earl of Fife, now her grandson. and
the young ~highlandman to her left was
Robert Smith, the present editor and
proprietor of the Rock Springs Miner,
who now, from this far off land, sends
greeting warm expressions of kind wishes,
with the earnest hope that the noble earl
and the fair countess, both of whom are
beloved of the people, will reach the
beau ideal OF earthly happiness in their
union and reap naught but joy at their
every sten.
