Two Funerals.

That is touching story told of the
funeral of Sir Walter Scott: The road
by which the procession took its way
wound over a hill, whence can be seen
one Of the most beautiful of landscapes.
1t was his habit to pause there to gaze
upon the scene, and when taking
friend out to drive he never failed to
stop there and call the attention of his
companion to the most beautiful points
of the view. Few could refrain from
tears when, carrying their master on
his last journey, the horses stopped at
the old familiar spot, as it were, for him
to give a last look at the scene he had
loved so WELL
Extremes meet l told this anecdote
of Scott's funeral to a friend, who in
turn, told me story. A little less than
a century ago there lived in a certain
New England village graceless fellow
who spent most of his time at the grog-
shop, to the neglect of all honest call
ings. When the summons had at last
come for him

Use il in Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal passage,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is
in fact, the great enemy of the mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the
head almost invariably precede ca
tarrh, causing an excessive flow of
mucus, and if the mucous discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreeable
results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes, a roaring and
bnZzing sound in the ears and often
times Il very offensive discharge. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure
for these troubles.
