A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
womanhood. Following is an instance "Our
daughter. Blanche, now IS years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons, yin fact, we feared st. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible a~flliction. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but IS pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs LOG pounds her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she
attends school regularly, and studies with COM
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no
money could procure for our daughter the health
DR.. Miles Nervine has brought her.
When my brother the remedy
/ had no faith in patent medicines, and would
not listen to him, but as q last resort he sent us
a bottle, we began giving it TO Blanche, and the
effect was almost immediate. "-Mrs. K. X.

New York Christian Advocate.
Broken-hearted persons are more numer-
Gus than most imagine. They usually hide
their sorrows from their neighbors. and
often from their best friends. Now and
then one may be found who takes pleasure
in parading the wounds in his heart. but
most men and women who suffer conceal
their troubles from the criticising and un-
mpathiZng gaze of the world. We hear
merry laughter and gay songs, and see
calm and smiling faces on every side. But
many sing to drown the agony within.
many faces are wreathed with smiles while
their spirits are shrouded in gloom: many
laugh outwardly and groan inwardly at the
same time.
But the afflicted did not hide from Jesus
They perceived that He understood and
sympathiZed with them. and Jney fiocked
around Him and cried after Him.
Almost every day we read in the daily
papers of unfortunate man who has
committed suicide, and IL is often added
that no one knew of any trouble or disap-
pointment which could have caused IL. He
carried his secret in his own heart until IL
became so heavy that il broke his heart or
dethroned his reason.
"a face may be woeful white to cover a
heart that's aching:
And a face may be full Of light over a heart
that's breaking.
To all such we recommend the prayer:
"FrCm the end of the earth will l cry unto
Thee, when my heart as overwhelmed; lead
me to the rock that is higher than l."
