Maav Of our readers may remember an
Rzzz in this paper year ago last fall which
-sassasz shat Mr.. William Simpson, well-to-
a3a asr7ner, living near Rugby, Ind, had been
5srzeken with paralysis of the lower limbs,
gguR his recovery was doubtful
TIE case which was an unusually severe
1ng complicated one has at last been entirely
rszsgRds to<he utmost surprise and joy of Mr..
ssBzmUson and his family.
Mr. Simpson was pleased to relate to a
srgEsrter the particulars regarding lis case,
9n5 his subsequent recovery.
"a year ago last fall" began Mr.. Stimp-
saga. Il did large amount of work. My
9sFTigsY help left me in the middle of corn cut
eigg and l finished the fall work myself,
z7p5ng an unusual large amount of work.
NIT I'D several hundred shocks OF fodder,
saEH also husked all my corn. To accom-
gys8B55sgs this had to work early and late.
AAbout the first of December, as l was
ssg4gsInsy my fall work about done, l suffered a
sstguFke of paralysis, which the physician said
ers,s brought on by excessive labor. My left
F5EHb was entirely helpless and my right limb
vEzg fast becoming so. My physician became
rzQsxgy, and after attending upon me for a
Nspss& or so, he brought me box of DIR. Will
Esa1I8s' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying that
~ believed they would do me more good than
saEything which he knew of, as he had used
ssIs7n with great success in a case very similar
20 mine where all other remedies had failed.
fEEg4 case in question was that of l.. Phillips,
aHg Petersville.

@s& of these pills decided change was

Her Ambition.

This incident was told by an ac-
tress who was once playing Rosa
lind in Boston, and playing it, as
she fancied, rather acceptably. AS
she entered her dressing room at
the theater one night note was
handed to her which read in this
wise:
''Dere lady I work for dentist
but 1 have spoiled SO many of his
teeth saying over your part in the
play that now can say it just as
well as you do, and I want you to
let me try it tonight and see if I
can't tor the dentist says he cannot
have me any more and 1 must pay
for his teeth, and SO must go on
the stage and will be here at z
o'clock.

BEST.

Singing at her work, merry hearted maiden,
Deity helping mother in the loving home.
Gathering only pleasure, ever honey laden,
Dreaming not of sorrow in the days to come.
Singing at her work-happy wife and motherl
Sound of children's voices and footsteps in
her ear;
Busy sire and husband, to his home returning,
Waits upon the threshold the cheerful song
to hear.
Weeping at her work; sunny heads are resting
Underneath the daisies on the hillside green
Yet for sake of others crushing back her sor-
row, -.
Smiling through her tears and wearing cheer
full mien.
Praying at her work by her lonely hearthstone,
Aged husband sleeping with the children
now;
Praying to be counted worthy to rejoin them
When the work is finished given her below.
Smiling without work; all her labors ended.
Fingers idly resting, folded on her breast.
We would not detain her, fondly though we
loved her,
She hath found her welcome. Surely this is
best.

washington Sharp at a Horse Trade.

Washington Sharp at a Horse Trade.
Colonel Lee was once dining at
Mount Vernon, and in the course Of
converse ton Washington asked him
if he knew where he could purchase
a pair of good carriage horses.
"Why, yes, general, . answered Lee.
ct have a fine pair, but you can t
get them"
"Why not9" demanded the aston
ished Washington.
Because you never pay more
than half price for anything, and I
want full price for them"
Mrs Washington was so tickled
at the banter that she fell to laugh
ing, and was joined by her favorite
parrot, perched near by.
"Ah, Lee, said the general, not
at all rufhed, ''you are funny fell
low. See, even that bird is laughing
at you.
That there was suspicion of
truth in Lees implied accusation of
closeness at bargain is borne out
by the well known fact that Wash
ington was one Of the keenest of men
at horse trade
It is also told Of him that, having
settled for job Of plastering at his
home, he afterward found that he
had overpaid the laborer by Is shill-
ings. Meanwhile the man had died
and his widow had married again,
but the general collected the over
plus of her second husband.
One had to be careful in marrying
widows those days. If a widow
wished to clear herself of all her de-
ceased husbands obligations, the
second time she must be married
with nothing on but her shift. 1t is
supposed that this unfortunate wom-
an wore something besides at her
second nuptials. -Bayonne Herald.
