KISS ME, JACK, AND LET ME GO."

Once, long ago, I was witness to a dnel in California. The two men had been boiom friends, bat had qoarelled about (of course) a woman. Splendid fellows both — yonng, brainy, and ambitions. Aa theyl stood in a dear iptce among the pine'treoß ntar Sacramento, pale as lilies, steady as rooks, weapons in hand waiting for the word, the rising sun shining athwart the line of vision, tbey presented a pioturo too often seen in 1856. The pistols oraoked almost simultaneously. One man stood ereot, evidently untonobed ; the other fell npon his back and lay straight and still. Seconds, surgeons, and spectators rnibed to bis tide. He was " all there," mind as well as body. " No, don't disturb me," be said coolly to the doctor, " I'm shot fatally and shall die in five minutes. Oatl Jaok and be quick." Fistol still in band, bis antagonist came and bent over his erst. while obom. The excitement among the crowd was intense ; the dying men alone was calm. " Jack, my darling old boy," be said, " forgive me and forgive her. Kiss me and let me go." A minute more be was dead, with Jaok lying across his body, orytng like a baby. After I have told you another and very diflerenfllory, I'il show wuertia (bey feeaob top slim* lesson. Therl is tb tragedy in this one ; nevertheless M is ft wider human interest than the otbwL a wompfniambeen ill more or less aiHl(U)fl£ The dttails are commonplaoe fljßughi and jit tbey will appeal to mWiona who oari nothing for the jealoniieFof yonng menln love. "At timeiY she says, M Minffered from pains at tbe Mok of the heal, and a sense of weight, attjUolt tiredaramry, yet it was not fronfiwork onljT TVfd a strange feeling, too, If aoautata Jf bawtog over me, as of sons evil or amget tbL I oould not explain of define. \ 11 My appeWe wa3 variable : sonetimes I could eat Jinything and agalnu could not touafiThi food at all. Ball was neverJud ugni it were." I Plms( now t|| last sontence./It may •een/ lil 9 til wariest, but reply is the ■trolgei ipo|n^i%Mß^|djMKatement. We will ellyn nay invmoment. SBo a iob #n— 'Wtill I was often in misvy, >ut«ot aftng fairly well nntil Auglft, 180), wleu I had a severe attack o rbewnatism. First the great too offny rilbt fAt and tbe thumb of my right hoid g«w hot and painful. After a time tie tr«ble extended to my back and hipsf Ittould not straighten myself; I wm oltnost bont double. Monih after t|onlh I was like this, getting littlo ur no sleep at night. Medical treatment proved of no benefit to me. In December, 1891, the pain almost drove me mad. My face was swollen to nearly twice its natural size, and my eyes wero so covered by the enlarged lids that I could scarcely see. Tbero was a constant ringing in my «ar«, and tbe cbotors said I bad erysipelas. " Foi days and days I could not walk across tbe fljor, and for some time I was able to movo about only by taking hold of tbo furniture or other objects. When all other means had been tried and bad failed Mother Seigel's Curative Syrop was reoommended to me. A single bottle did me a deal of good. I kept on with it, and toon was stronger and in better health than for forty years previously. I still take an occasional dose ana oontinue in good health notwithstanding my' age (48) and the 'change of life. 1 I tell everyone what the Syrup has done for me, and give you permission to publish what I bare said. Youro truly (Bigncd) (Mrs) Mary Jane Milnes, 18, Walker's Buildings, Brewery Lnno, Thornbill Lees, near Down bury, Yorkshire, October 12tb, 1802."

Now for the lesson <>l both these Incidents) what it it? This; that it is not people in desporato extremities who auffer roofd-. Fain is in proportion to the resist n too to disease. Those who surrender, who "ro in deep ir, who give up, have proaont punishment largely remitted. Dyincr persons are tho most comfortable of all. llopelessncss and dissolution administer their own anodynes. Those who aro cot laid up, who aro ill, and yet woik and straggle, seed pity Mid help. This lady was one. and to tuch Mother Seige\ always proves a fileutf.
