ENCOURAGEMENT.

Comrades. on life's journey faring, Weary. tempted, oft despairing. Manfully all thy burdens bear; Murmur not thou hast thy share Of blessings, some things counted dear. No life is always sad and drear. Work for myself and fellowman, Enough for thee 1t is Gods plan. Go forth and comfort souls in grief, To want and suffering give relief, Unselfish in thy ministry
 Healed gently thy own wounds shall be. Choose thou the good, the true and pure Strive For the things that will endure Obey the voice when duty calls, Truth be thy guide whate'er befalls; Honor and courage dwell with thee, In love and Friendship loyal be- i1s4e fa}Gd- ,y2e.es 7,1,s. 77,1,s.+sc ' ' s..e...,s., Onward, oh, travellers, with good cheer, Undaunted thus, hopes star divine.

A TOtal Disability Claim of S1,65O Paid to
 a Man who was Afterward Cured.

The Monitor, a newspaper published at Meaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered this case two yearsago, and published ditatlength which now seems, owing to the cure of 1t, to be a miracle. The facts were so remarkable that many people doubted the truth of them. They said: It is too remarkable; 1t cannot possibly be true. the paper is mistaken, and the man, although he may think himself cured, will soon relapse into his former con. dition, etc, etc The accuracy of its report called in question the Monitor. deter mined to find out definitely whether the facts were as stated and whether the man would really stay cured They accordingly kept a close watch on the case for two years after the first article appeared and have just

 Rodney read:

 Dear Aunt Martina" said Ruth, soft ly. with tears rolling swiftly down her cheeks Il wish she could know how much I thank her for her legacy and her letter. Do you know, Rodney, I'm not sure but l value that mostas
 For answer he bent and kissed her.
 Your love and loyalty are worth thousand legaces, he said. And Ruth threw her arms about his neck and cried: Pm SO glad for your sake, Rod neyt"-N. '. Ledger.

 Cousin Hugh came. Ruth liked him. but-he wasn't Rodney Dare! Millions of money wouldn't have tempted her to marry him if she had had no lover.

 Six months iateG teicgfam came saying that Aunt Martha was dead Would Ruth come 10 the funeral?
 Ruth went, and after the funeral she and Cousin Hugh sat down in the old fashioned parlor together, with Aunt Martha's old lawyer and one or two of her intimate friends, to listen to the reading of her will
 In it she bequeathed to Hugh Trevor "all property now in her possession, to which she had just title and claim" with the exception of the old family Bible. That went to Ruth.
 "I have brought my legacy home with me- she told her mother, on her re- turn, as she deposited a package wrapped in thick brown paper and se- curely tied up on the parlor table. On the wrapper was written; Ruth Trevor, to be given her, unopened, after my death" in Aunt Martha's prim pen manship.
 You don't mean to say that you were left nothing but that?" cried Mrs. Ire vor.
 Its as much as l expected, answered Ruth.
 That evening Rodney Dare came in
 Suddenly Ruth bethougIht her of the package, which had not been opened
 T must show you my legacy" she said, bringing the package. "Cut the strings, Rodney please"
 He did so and Ruth took the old worn Bible from its wrappings. As she did so, some papers slipped from between it's pages and fell 10 the floor. She stopped and gathered them up. One was a somewhat bulky document. The other was an envelope, on which her name was written.
 Here a letter from Aunt Martha, ; she said, and opened t.
 As she read il a tender light came into her face. Then a look of surprise and bewilderment.
 II don't understand she said, looking from Rodney to her mother. "She says something about deeds What does she mean by that, l won der?"
 Rodney took the large document from Rnth's lap and unfolded fl and glanced over the half=written- half=priutsd page.

He took them and there was a slight change The first thing noted was a tendency to sweat freely. This showed there was some life left in his helpless body. Next came a little feeling in his limbs. This extended, followed by prickling sensa- tions until at last the blood began to course freely, naturally and vigorously through his body, and the helplessness gave way to re- turning strength, the ability to walk re- turned, and he was restored to his old time health.
