HE MIGHT HAVE ESCAPED ANY DAY.

■ ♦ !-,.. *~, , There was once a man, who, .on account of his_ religious conviqlions r w,A| arrested by a deipotio government' and' thrown into prison. Looking at the strong stone wall*, that ihufc him, in, he naturally conoluded that he muit* spend Wo rest of his days in this lonely and diitnal place. Yet wretched as thj» prospect was, there was eomo comfort in the thought that he was a viotim of oppression, and not undergoing punishment as a violator of any good and righteous law. All the same ho would have been glad to .get out, as be had 'a rigb.t.',to'dp if hecould. t, T 'v> l Nevertheless ,. there ', he .^stayed andl languished for sixteen yeari. , At; nearly the end of that period it pconrred.to him. one day to climb up on a, projecting •tone in. the wall and take a" peep, thyqugli th» window above his head. , He did so, and found the iron ban removable and the sasfa notfsstened. . An,ide»atruck;hiai;broouriei Wiiy not escape ? ' He opened tW window, jumped tik feet to the ground, and left that district immediately! He might have done so at any time during his protraetad oocupanoy of the place, if he v had, only beta blessed with a more inqairing,mind.'jmd not taken so muoh for granted. , ; /,', ,\ Now here comes an incident, both like and unlike that of tbe martyr t',likci>i6ibsoatu» there was loisof free action, unlike it became the sufferer was not impriionea as he was.

Ward/ • 174, Ilkeston Rjad, Badford, Nottingham, We congratulate Hrs Ward uppn her deliveranoe from a distressing and |d»ngerous disewe. What a pity she did not sooner learn how easily and oertainly she could be cured. Sixteen years is too large a'slioe. out of one's life to be spent in bodily, and mental misery. Very few of us can hive> wealth in any oase, but health' should be a. blessing oommon and universal as sunshine. And it might be if everybody knew hojr to preserve it when they poitess it, or to regain it whon lost. This lady's disease' ,ws,s of the digestive organs— indigestion and dyspepsia—the most afflictive and perilous of all because it involves every 1 unction of the body, scattering its poison' at every point through the medium of the blood. Nearly all ailments are but the differently named [ results and symptoms of this proliflo parent ot evil. That the remedy she mentions should have cured her, will not surprise those who know its woll-founded reputation.. Many worse oases constantly yield to it Our friend the martyr abode in his cell a weary time because be was ignorant of the simple way put. If the roader of these lines is a captive to disease he has no exo'nse for remaining so. In her short and honest letter our correspondent point* to the open door.
