How to Turn Back the Clock.

"What time is it, Maggiei" said
John, with an uneasy sense that he
ought to be on his homeward way.
"Pll go aud look" she answered.
Stepping quietly into the kitchen
the girl pushed the clock hands
back an hour, and returning, said,
"lts only half.past nine by our
o'clock you can stay an hour
So John stayed, for lovers are not
eager to part, and he needed no
coaxing. The next morning, how
ever, he oversight himself, aud Mag
gie's father, at his breakfast, having
missed the train, he intended to
journey by that day, wondered how
the good old clock could have lost
an hour in the night. But Maggie
didn't explain. She meant to set il
right again before going to bed, but
forgot, which shows once more what
erybody should remember
we can set back the clock, but VIZ
cannot set back the time.
All the same it Is possible occa-
sionally to regain lost things. In q
woman's letter recently received, |
find this sentence: They tel me- 1
look ten years younger than 1 did,"
And II she felt as she looked she was
to all practical purposes ten years
younger. For, although a clock
face looks the same no matter what
time IL il, q human face doesn't.
That changes with the condition of
the works" or the life behind IL.
The letter goes on thus: ain the
spring OF Of 1880 | felt weak and
low. | had q bad taste in the mouth
and a thick Shiny phlegm covered
my mouth and tongue. | was sick
IN a morning, retching and vomiting
a watery 1uid. had great pain in
the head aud was very may, being
at times 50 bad could hardly stand
upon my feet. After eating the sim
plest food | had dreadful pain in
the left side and palpitation Of the
heart, and could get but little sleep
at night on account Of il,
"Gradually | grew weaker and
weaker until l could scarcely walk
about the house, amt but for the
necessity of attending to my family,
should have been laid up. My life
was . burden and . misery To me,
and | often wished myself dead.
Sometimes better aud at other
times worse; this was my general
condition for ten years, during which
long period Of suffering was treat
ed by the doctor, and took every
kind Of medicine ! could hear tell
oil, but got no better.
In November, 1890, | read in a
book OF a medicine called Mother
Seigers Curative Syrup, and got q
bottle from Mr. +. Banks, the che
mist. After had taken few doses
| found my food agreed with mo
better. | kept on with the Syrup
aud gradually gained strength. l
had become so thin aud emaciated
through all those years OF suffering
that IL took time To fully restore me.
But lam now IN better hsaith than /
sp'r was IN nay life, and my recovery
has astonished my friends. They
tell me- ! look ten years younger
than ! did for taking the Syrup.
How wish l had known OF il years
sooner! My husband and friends
had given up all hope OF my getting
better, but none Of us knew OF
Mother Seigels Syrup.
"On mentioning to tho Rev. L.
Harries, the Vicar OF Christ Church,
what had wrought the cure, he said
] should write and let the proprie.
tors know what the Syrup had done
Tor mo, SO rs tn benefit others. You
may publish this statement az you
think proper aud will gladly ans
wer inquiries. Yours truly, (si gned)

Thus was this good woman en-
abled to turn back her nominal
aye, but what was better to recover
the priceless treasure OF health,
without which neither youth nor
age has any comfort. Her malady
was the same wretched indigestion
and dyspepsia, the curse OF all ages
