DO THOU LIKEWISE.

Whon ono aots a oandlo in a window on » dark night ho novor can toll how many lout and bewildorod travellers it may guido on thoir way. I onoo know a dear old lady who Y 'Wfcuftlly did It on ovory dark nighb, Tho romJ that paused her house was always ftrsakon and lonosomo onough, and housoa , woro far apart. So. on tho gonoral principlo of goodwill to men, sho plaood hor candlo in a. sort of promoting window, whoro it would shino both ways and do tho moot good, Sho io dond and gono new, bat lot us hopo that hor family koops np tho ofitom, To bo euro it brought hor many a atratxje guost, yet aho did what sho could for them, andi novor grumblod— pay or no pay. A year or two ago ft littlo book wao printod, oontain<nsf an account hy Mr John Hodeon, of Watboye, Hunts, of tho way ho w&b curod of a wasHng d J< <oaco by Mother Scigel'a Curativo Syrup— a complaint oontraotod in India, whoro Mr Hodson watt 0000 a soldier in the British Army. This opndlo of Uodson's boamod hopo* fully In all ri'rootlons, r>nd among others, its rays fo'l upon iho eyes of a woman who needed light at that pAttioular timo, How it oamo to pass oho tolls in a lcttor, from whioh wo quoto tho foil wing : " I wai," sbo says, " alwayu healthy up to May, 1884, whon I hud an attack of gastrio fovor, which left mo low ond fooblo. 1 had a bad t*et> in tbo mouth, and after everything I ato I had great pain in tho oh out and Bidoti, and also dreadful pain at tho back and befcwoon tho shouldor'b'ados and a sinking feeling at tho pit of tho otomaob. My I'ga tromblcd and Bhook under mo, ho I could not walk out*. Indeed, it was as nmoh as I oould do to got aoroaa iho floor. A dry, hacking cough aot in and f hook mo very much, and I lost a deal of sloop, " Ah I grow woakor I wan oonfinod to my bod moro aud moro, and my daughter was o'^iged to take my plaoo in doing tho h uuowork. A dootor attondod mo for ovor a yoar. Ho triod first ono kind of modioitio and thon another, but nono of them ho'pod mo. At tho ond of tho yoar tho dootor eaid ho oould do no more for mo, and reoommondod mo as a last i osort to try » ohango of air. "I had got to despair of over gotting bottor whon a book was eonb to mo full of Btatomonta from difforcnt pooplo, telling bow they had boon mado well of vanoua oompla f nta by using Mother Soigoln Ou^ativo Syrap, and I read of a young man living at Warboya, noar me, having boon cured in a marvollouo minnor by this modiolno. I got a bottle from Messrs Falmor and Sons, Chemists, Ratnooy, and affcor I hud takon it a wook I folt reliof and gained ntrongth. All my pain left me, and X havo novor looked bohmd mo oiuco. I tftko an oooaßional doao of tho Syrup and koop in OToollout hoalth. I givo you full pormisuion to uao thio lettor as you think fit. Youro truly, (aignod) Sarah Mason, K»m«oy Hoights, Ramioy, Hunts, January 27th, 1892." What bottor u»o could wo poaaibly pub this lady's lottor to than to publish it '! in thia way It h»» fa'lgn into]] the prosont roller's han<.l»| and m?y turn out to bo a oundlo in tho window to uhow him rofugo and sholtor beeido somo long »nd gloomy Eith. A word moro on this very point, tis not a matter of oho r eo whothor wo arc to help ono auothor. Wo are obligod and bound to do 00 by ovory consideration of morality and utility. Humanity is like tho body of ono man : if a ninglo part in neglootod tho rest must pay tho penalty, Thoreforo sot candles in windows. If, for inotanoo, Mother Siegol'a Curativo Hyrup has dono you good, say so, publish it, make it known. Othoro noar you may bo groping in darkness. And it U all tho more a nubjoob of rojoioing that thia romody, as in tho abovo oaso, conquers indigostion and dyspepsia, boo aim c that oomplainb it is wliicli olouds tho bun : for milllono on Lifo'n hard road.
