RecOnciled.

A young husband and wife were
walking. one summer evening,
through a country churchyard, and
they were attracted by two little
graves, side by side, on which were
laid wreaths and crosses OF fresh
flowers. The date Of the little ones
death was seen by the headstone.
some years back. The names were
those Of two children, only two and
three years old, and underneath were
the words, "Thy will be done"
"How dreadfully sad!" said the
young husband.
"If our baby were to die I could
never say that" said the young wife,
pointing to the text.
Let us hope you will not be tried" 4"
said the young husband
But when they returned home hat
night they found the baby ailing, and
before very long, little grave-such
little grave!-had to be dug for II,
too.
For a time the poor mothers heart
rebelled terribly. She mourned as
one who had no hope, and on the
tombstone OF her little one she had
inscribed the words: II am bereaved
Of my children, am bereaved.
Later on, through years OF trial
and suffering, God led her TO better
mind; and when, a woman old in sor-
row and years, she visited the grave
where her child and husband were both
lying, she resolved TO have that mur-
muring inscription altered, and in
stead OF IL was written, where the
treasure In, the heart is aiso:" and
beneath again, the text which once
she thought she could not say. THY
will be done. Home Herald.

Nature and n woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field t0
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia Il. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave To the women
of the world n remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and efiica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized rs the
