WAS IT PROVIDENCE OR ACCIDENT?

Did the finding of that article save the man's life? That is the question. Is there a divinity that shapes our ends ? or, are events but a mere series of accidents which may happen to one person as well as another. Are the experiences that compose our lives links m a chain, or loose grains of sand? As you answer these questions, as you take the one side or the other, so is your faith ; you are a materialist or a believer m Providence. We now propose to relate a story m illus tration of this problem which may have some effect m arousing those who have always thought themselves the subject of blind chance. The following facts are fully vouched for, and resemble occur rences m the lives of multitudes Several years ago Griffith Jones was a policeman at Holyhead; V, rales. He had a family consisting of a wife and five young children to take care of. Holy head is on St. George's (or the Irish) Channel, and is open to terrific gales that so often gather on those dangerous waters and beat with violence opon the coast, Jones' "post" or " beat" extended back into the country, over bleak, wind-swept hills. He had to walk through this region m all weathers, day or night. He was often out m winter nights, m cold and darkness, exposed to the storms that drive m from, the sea. At such times the wife listened to the rattling windows, and prayed that the husband and father might take no harm m the wild tempest. This was hard lines, but m the family (though they were poor enough) there was still health and comparative comfort. But in 1 a bad storm the policeman caught a heavy cold. Home remedies failed to cure it, and the officer sent to his old , physician at Aberffraw for medicine' It did no good. Jones' right side grew ••queer' and painful. The doctor said it was the liver, and he was right; bu correct opinions don't cure disease, H head troubled him, too, and he was often bo giddy he could hardly walk, 'I am so tired and vweary," be would say, "I don'fc knpw What makes me, I try to rest and sleep, but get up jusfc as dead tired is when I go t6 bed." Then worse came. He sat down to his table, but revolted from his food; appetite was gone, There was a curious feeling at the stomach; it was cold, dull, "and miserable, like a furnace which contains nothing but ashes and cinders. A nasty and nauseous kind of gas or wind came up into his throat, like the effluvia from a tomb. His wife called his attention to the ghastly yellow colour $ his eyes and skhi, an<i p.|ice m a while'he have- a Spelll6| palpitation' of the heart $ha,t"made liiny afraict "'of Mlin^ dead--perliaps i»; soiftelonefy place.. ' & spjt*» of ji aJJ, Jwwsvsr, Fpftwnw

Jones kept'onfluty as much as ever he could. Of course. So would any honest, plucky man. , But he slept fitfully, with bad dreams. He cried oub sometimes with the terror of them, and the frightened children said, "Is papa going to die? He was, and is, one of the most patient fttid loving of men, yet now he was cross and aurly to his family. Then something new developed. There came a pain under his left shoulder blade ; his wrists and knees crrew swollen and painful; this was rheumatism, caused, the doctors said, by the undigested and fermented food having, poisoned the blood. Kidney and bladder complaint followed -for they also are nterely symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. . The pbliteman new felt he must give up, arid, if he did, then what He could foresee nothing Hit destitution. Now we como to the event which sug gested the question with which this short history begins : Was it an accident or was it a link m a saving chain I Enter ing the Holyhead station house one day, ill, depressed, weak, and miserable, he saw a little pamphlet under the table. He picked it up and began to read it. In a few moments his mind was rivetted upon its pages.; In clear, plain language he found his own case fully described, just as though the book had been written for him and for him alone. It named a cure for all his ailments, a medicine called j Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. The J plain honesty of the statements won his j confidence* He procured half-a-dozen bottles through Mr Henry Wilson, of the Drug Hall, Holyhead. Taking it he began to improve, and all his aches and pains vanished m a few.■■'weeks. This was August, 1879. Ten years have passed, but not a sign or sympton of his ailment has returned. Mr Jones entered upon a more lucrative business, and wher ever he goes he spreads the fame of Seigel's Syrup, and insists that the glimpse of the book on the table settled the point as to whether he should go •nder the sod or be the Rtrong new man he lias been ever since

We clip the following important testimo nial from the '' Illawarra Mercury " (N. S. W., of the 30th March. It needs no comment:— " Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' Eucalyptic Extract. He says:—" Seeing the said Extract advertised m the ' Illawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hbsking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between 10th March inst., when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the use. of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extracts cure for rheumatism a3 well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the' Mercury.' We have much pleasure m complying with Mr Lomlay's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object m view other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity. "—{Advt.) 2 The criminal sessions of the Chrisrtchurch Supreme Court opened this morning. Judge Dennistori, m his charge to the jury, said that though the charges on the calendar were not numerous they were almost all of | a serious charaetc:. | Holloway's Ointment ANDPiLLs.--Dite ise of the bowels.—A remedy, which has been tested and proved m a thousand different ways, capable of eradicating poisonous taints from ulcers and healing them up, merits a trial of its capacity for extracting the internal corruptions from the bowell.l'. On robbing Holloway's ointment repeatedly on the abdomen, a rash appears, and as it thickens the alvine irritability subsides. Acting as a derivative, this ungent draws to the surface, releases the tender intestines from all acrid matters, and prevents in flammation, dysentry, and piles, for which blistering was the old fashioned, though successful trtitment, now from Ib painful ness fallen into disuse,.the discovery of this ointment having proclaimed a remedy pos essing equally derivative, yet perfectly pain sess powers. —[Advt,] HOPE FOR THE DEAF. A Person cured of deafness and noises A.in the Head of long standing, by. a simple Remedy, will be glad to forward n, description of it free to anyone who applies, The most as tonishing cures have lately been effected by the same remedy.
