«— Vho dee t n't ti joy looking at a fountain m pay ? '} he bright water leaps into the air as though it were a living, contciouß th'Dg. Then at the summit of its arah it is shattered into spray by the wind, or wafted to and fro Ike the ekins of a dancing girl And all the while the roar of i s rneh and the tinkling melody of its fall fill the air. This is vaer having a good time— water m high spirits. What makes it jump, eing. and laugh m that fashion ? Wait a bit. If yon please, we will have the explanation later on. Perhaps you know already ; perhaps not. Jt isn't so easy to know things from the bottom. Under date of Maroh 16th, 1692, a lady writes that for 20 years the always felt lowspirited. Now, what is meant by " spirits' iv this Bense is a condition of the mind m rerpeot of our being cheerful, happy, enjoying our surronndingp, taking a delight m all sort ß of minor matters, and, m a word, making the most of lifo ourselves and help ing others to make the most of it. Wf 11, then, it io a glorious and a prfi nb'e bing to be always m good ppirits ; I wich I cou'd be myself. But I can't : anyhow I'm not. Neither is anyboij. Yet why not? What makoa our hearts s'nk down Ittea p'unmet and then rise like a cork ? - Before we answer let us read the rest of the letter. The writer Bays : — " For 20 years I have suffered from liver oomplaint and indigestion. I was con. s'antly tired, weak, and languid. My skin was a fallow oolor, and I had great pain at the back and shoulders " My appetite waßpsor, I had a bad taste m the month, and much pain and weight at the ohedt after ea'ing, I was also frequently siok, throwing- up a eour, frothy fluid. I took, different kinds of medioine, bat none 'of them gave me relief, and I get weaket and weaker. In Maroh, 1884, 1 beoame so bad that I called for adootor, who attended me off and on for 12 months. He gave me medioines, bat I grew no better, as nothing he prescribed teemed to reach my oomplaint About this time I heard of Mother Seigel's Syrup, anl commeco^d taking it In less then a moath all my pain and dietreea ceased, and I have since been m good health. I keep a bottle of the Syrup m the hoote a9 a family medtoiae, and by taking an occasional dose hive oeeied no doctor. 11 1 may mention that my aunt, who lives at West Wy combe, Bucks, was afflicted with indigestion and dyepepßia. She states that m her opinion Mother Seigel's Syrup has been the means of saving her life. You are at liberty to me this statement as yon may see fit. Tours truly (Signed) Mrs Habbkt Curtis, Barton Hoa:e, Kenmure Boad, Hackney, London " No philosopher has yet been able to say what is tha exact relation of the mind to the body. This muob, however, experience coDßtant'y assures us of—that it is very miii at», and that tha condition of the mental faculties depends upon that of the body. As birds sing when tbe sun chine», aud are dumb m the dark, io the spirits and mental powers rise and express themselves when wa are m health, and are dull and torpid when the body is under the weight of pain and disease. And to know that is all we reqiire to know to aot upon. Everything, money, iofluenoe, and every form of Bccoeaa depends so largely upon health that by on veraal oonseot we don't exp;ot good servioe from thoße who are ill.

The captive balloon was struck and fired, falling at once to the earth, while the spectators were horrified to see three men of the Royal Engineers, who had been m charge of the winch that held the w>re of the balloon, fall to the ground, shrieking with ngony. They were at once piclred up, the Duke i f Oonnnnght assisting, atd taken tc an adjacent hospital, where it was found tbat they had sustained severe injuries by the lightning Btroke. Noe.leea to say, the christening oeremony did not take place, the Duohes?, who had been an involuntary witness of the dreadfnl scene, leaving the ground at once. Bad as the accident was, it might have been woree, for had not the weather been ro un propitious, a Corporal of the Kngineero would bave occupied the car of the captive balloon, and m that case must have iufallib y been killed. Every kindness posa-b'e was shown to the unfortunate men by the Duke and Duchess, and latest reports stated that probably ell three would recover from their terrible experience «
