The Horrible and Crotesoue

Not few of the scenes a clergyman
is called upon to witness are both
grotesque and terrible. An old man had
been i'll for months, but clung to life
with that wonderful pertinacity which
is so common with old people. He was,
of course, a great burden to his two
daughters, who had to nurse him and at
the same time earn their own bread.
One day, on being asked how the old
man was, one of the daughters, even
while she stood by the bed, announced:
les just the same, e is such a time
a-dying. 1 wish ed 'urry up bit, it's
s. awk'ard for me and my sister, with
our other work to do" 1t was terrible
enough to see natural feeling all but
destroyed by poverty, but there was
something truly awful in the scene
when the old man gasped over from his
bed: 81 am a-making 'aste, amt 1?
I've got no call for to live" -Cornhill

DIR. Ayers Cherry Pectoral. The rst bottle
gave me great relief; the second. which
am now taking, has relieved me almost
entirely of all unpleasant symptoms. To
ministers suffering from throat troubles,
recommend DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
Prevention is better than cure.n A
bottle of DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral kept
in the house, will effectually prevent the
roofing of cold and its consequent devei-
opement into some dangerous malady.
This remedy has no equal in Bronchial
troubles. The most stubborn cases have
yielded to its use. It is equally effective
for Asthma, Group, Whooping Cough, and
every disease that attacks the throat or
lungs. For years DR.. Ayers Cherry Pee
tora1 has been put up only in large size

increasing demand for a smaller sized
package the remedy can now be obtained
in half-size bottles, at half price-5o cents

No class Of people is SO liable to throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from heated building to
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that minister feels impelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "C1ergymen's sore throat"
is known as special disease. The Rev:

The affable passenger had been searching
for victim for long time. He had made
ordinations when reading his paper, in the
hopes that it would attract the attention
of some one and give him the opportunity
to show his power as conversationalist, but
all his little ruses failed. The people who
sat near him seemed to be wholly centered
on themselves, but still he was not COM
pletely discouraged. He looked about him,
and, selecting one man to whom he thought
he might be able to impart much interesting
information, he began operations by re-
marking:
Pardon me, but you look very much like

Theman whowasad addressed looked over the
affable passenger gloomily, and, recognizing
the type, he replied, in tones that would
