/ Last Friday morning the SITTER an
nounced snow storm in progress
| The storm continued until in the after
noon. In this village and the valleys
it melted about as fast as it fell, only
accumulating upon grass ground to the
depth of an inch, but on the hills
where the air was colder it measured
from three to six inches. The mex
day, Saturday, it again commenced tt
snow early in the morning, anda heav.
snow fall continued throughout TIT
day. This time it reached depth O
between three and four inches in tn
village while the hills and mountain
got from six inches to twelve and eigh
teen. On top of the mountain, owe
the notch road, it was reported as tw'
feet deep. The traditional coolest in
habitant' never saw such an amount o
snow fall so late as the Goth and 21s
of May. 1t melted rapidly; all disaE
pearing, except on the mountains, Sun
day and Monday. 1t is not though
that any particular damage was done
but no one cares to see the experiment
repeated.

One was written by man who sets

But then he hasn't his thousands

another. Its money makes the off.

Written for the sitter.
A Compound subject.

How brightly beams the morning rays,
All nature smiles anew,
Each bud and leaf speak forth their praise
In crystal drops OF dew.
The grassy mead, the forest wide,
And fields so flush and fair,
But fairer far than all beside
Is the maid with the golden hair.
Sweet singing birds and busy bee
Awake at early morn,
And gayly fit from flower and tree,
Rejoiced at its return,
And thus declare their love of light,
As DER the fields they fly,
But the dearest light that greets my sigh
Is the love-light of her eye.
The blushing rose, sweet modest flower,
Sleep sweetly all the night,
But early wake at morning hour
To greet the Prince of light,
Each tiny petal kissed with dew
The morning light disclose,
l would l were dew drop
And she that blushing rose.
How sweetly breathes the morning air
Adown the woody dell,
And into many a listening ear
Sweet words of comfort tell,
Inspiring all with radiant hope
That life has just begun,
While for this one little kiss
Shall perish with the sun.

I'm the course of two days our family ply
sician came in and saying that he found me
about the same finally told me
that he had concluded to ask for counsel. He
informed me that 1 might choose any doctor
I preferred to meet him in consultation.
| Il said to him, then you consider me pref
! ty badly off p
"He answered, 4 certainly do and shall not
prescribe for you again until some other doc
| tor seesyou, as I do not know what to give
you next
Il then said to him, perhaps you will be Of
Tended, but have not taken any of your med
icine for two days, but am taking DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
HE answered, Il am not offended; if it will
help you 1 shall be very glad. You may con-
tinue its use week and if no better, then we
will have counsel
'But at the end of the week l was better. In
two weeks was good deal better, no chills,
no faint feelings, could eat some and sleep
quite well. In three weeks was around and
about the house. In four weeks my hired
girl left me and 1 went to doing my house
work alone, and have since continued to do
so with seven in the family.
ssSince that time family physician has
advised it's use from time to time, saying that
it would keep up my strength better. He has
advised others to take it, telling them of the
good it did me, and to-day have reason, YES
great reason, to thank God for my recovery
and through the of DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. l am only too glad to
testify to it's merits. God bless Dr.. Greene
and his wonderful medicine"
This remarkable remedy is purely vegetable
and harmless, and be procured at any
drug store for $l.0O per bottle. Like the above
able and excellent physician, all doctors of
high standing recommend the sick to use it,
for it cures. Doctors prescribe and recon-
mend it because it is not patent medicine
but physicians prescription, the discovery

vous and chronic diseace, and who can be

4 Revelation Which Will AStOniSh Most
People.
And Yet 1t Is In Reality OF Every
Day Occurrence.

The following communication is from one
of our correspondents, Mrs Carrie E. Martin,
lady well known and highly respected and
who occupies position of the highest social
distinction in West Leyden, Mass. Her ex-
perience is of such nature and it's impor-
lance to many is SO great and far-reaching
that we give it to our readers in her own
words:
"Last summer was all run down, had chills,
no appetite, very little sleep nights and none
days, faint spells, trembling feelings and was
so weak could hardly walk around the room
| continued to run down in health and
strength until l feared utter nervous pros
tration with it's untold miseries.
81 sent for our town physician and he came
a good many times. l soon had to give up
work entirely, still his medicines did me no
good. tried to ride out one morning but
went only few rods and had to come home
with the hired help and my children. Such
terrible day as I spent, tongue cannot de-
scribe. could scarcely get from the couch
to a chair
"When my husband came in from church
told him was worse and that would die if
did not get help soon that would not take
any more of the doctors medicine but try DR..
he thought best
"He advised me to try it and went immedi-
ately and got a bottle, which I began to take;
up to this time we knew nothing of its value
except had seen it advertised.

than I have for the purifyin' of the
church. I've all along been willin' to
do more an go farther for the carry
in out Of my own mad temper than
have for the spreading of the gospel.
I've prayed for the outpourin' of the
spirit, and I've been shuttin' my heart
against it all the while When it told
me | was a-doin' wrong I said twas
the other folks and not me- When it
told me I WANT actin Christian, I
thought back o. the time when I see
kind of a light, and heard sumthin'
speak to me when there WANT no
body round, and was sure that was
conversion, and as for stayin' con-
verted WANT no Methodist I'd al
ways heard say it was dishonorin' to
God not to believe that he'd keep a
grip on a man when he once got it.
And SO here be, an obstinate, selfish,
worldly old man that my own child
rem can't live with,' Something very
like sob choked further utterance.
Brethren, pray for me,' at last he
gasped, and sat down.
There was prolonged silence. The
surprise, the sympathetic mood of
self accusation, the awakening voice
of conscience in each heart produced
deep impressions. No soul felt itself
pure enough to respond to the pathet-
ic appeal.
At length the other deacon arose,
read a few verses from the 51st Psalm,
and pronounced the meeting closed.
A business meeting was held during
the week, at which Deacon Crabb in
sisted upon resigning his office, and
in recommending as his successor
quiet young man whose life of self
denial and loving sacrifice for his in
valid parents had won the love and
confidence of ALL
The spirit of condemnation
went round There had been no such
deep spiritual earnestness manifested
in the parish for years. Little COM
ment was ever heard upon the dec
cons words. All knew that as much
might be said of their own fruitless
lives. There was a humble serious
ness, a faithful effort, at quiet, right
Gus living, that had not been known
in all the history of the church, and
yet there was no revival and no ex-
ira meetings.
'tWell, Reny," said the deacon,
twelve month later, E'it's the first OF
May, amt it? Do you want I should
help move the things before 1 go to
work?"
"No, lothian. [ was just thinkin'
we'd better wait a fortnight later. We
