FOUNTAINS IN PLAY.

Who doesn't onjoy looking at a founta'n in plaj ? Tho bright water leaps into tho air as though it wore a living, comolous thing. Then at tho summit of it* arch ill is shattered into npray by the wind, or wafted too and fro liko tho skirts of a danoing gtrl, And all tho while the rose of its rush and tho tinkling molody of it* fall fill tho air. This is water having a good titno— water in high spirits. What makes it jump, ting, and lau^u ia that fashion? Wait a bit. If you pleaao, ws will havo tho explanation lator on. Perhaps you know already ; perhaps not. It isn't »o oasy to know thing* from the bottom. Under dato of March lGth, 1892, a lady w.'itea that for twenty years aho alvrayi felt low-spirited. Now, what is meant by " spirits " in this ncuso is a condition of tho mind in respoot of our being cheerful, happy, enjoying our surroundings, taking delight in all aortu of minor matter*, and, in a word, making the most of life our* sclyos and helping others to make tho moat of it. Well, then, it i* both a glorious and a profitable thing to bo always in good ipHtß • I wish i could bo mysolf. But I can't ; anyhow I'm not. Neither is anybody. Yet why not ? What aukos our hoarti flick down liko plummet, and then nijo liko a cork ? Bjfoio wo answer lot u« rend the reit of tho lottor. Too writer says : •* For 20 years I havo Buffered from livor complains and indigoattou. I was constantly tirod, weak, and languid. My akin wa* a eallov? color, aad I bad a groat pain at tho back and Hhouldera. ♦•My appetite was poor, and I had * bad taßt© in my mouth, aud much paia and weight at tbo oheet after ontiug. I waa also frequently »iok, throwing up a «our, frothy tiuid. I took different kinds of tnodiomo, but nono of thorn gave mo relief, and 1 got woakor and weaker, " In March, 1881, I became so bad thit I oallc i in a doctor, who attended mo off and on for twelve months. Ho gavo mo modicmos, but 1 gtew no bottor, at nothing he prcHcnbod neemod to roaca my complaint. About thu tune I heard of Mother Seigel'ji Syrup, and commenced taking it. lv lea* than a month all my p*m aud diatrass ooaaed, aud I have linoti been in good health. I kuop a bottto of the ttyrap iv tho hoiuo as a family medioiue, and by Uklog an occasional doao havo needed no doctor. "I m?y muntioa that my auut, who lirei at We»t Wycombo, Bucks, wa* efUioted with indigestion and dyspepsia. Sho aiate* | that in her opinion Mother Soigol'd Syrup \ has been the means of saving her lifo. You aro at liberty to u-jo tht« statement a* you may see fit. Your* truly, (Signed) Mrs Harriett Cutler, Burton Houis, 33, Koumure Road, Haoknoy, Londoa." No philosopher ha^ yot been able to »ay what is tho exact relation of bne mind to tho body. This muoti, however, experience constantly aesaroi ua of : that it i* very m» tunuto and that tho oondition of tho mental faculties depends opoa that of tho body. As birds sing whon tho ana ehino*, and aro dumb ia the dark, ao tho apirita and mental powor* ri»o and oxpros* thomaolvoa whoa wo aro in health, and are doll and torpid wh«m the body is noder the weight of pato and disease. And to kno^ that i* to 1 know all wmoquire to act upon. f verything, money, influonc3, and OTor? form of «uocoss depends «o largely upon nealth that by universal oonwnt we don't expect good service from those who tro ill. Aud illness, nine times in ten, mean* precisely what Mr« Cutler auffered from auoh a long weary poriod— indigeatioa and dyspopnift-tbe ailment cured (wbca tho doctors aro done with their fraitleia exoenmonts) by Mother Solgo^a CaraiiTo Syrup, THo fountain* play only when the wat«r l& forced powerfully through their pipe* by gr.vityoir by maobiuory. so tha spiri«9 «r« free and olaatio omy when tho organ* WJthio aoti w|thg^h(adrao<jd «r qkt^^r
