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 1 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 fejirid chalice. The following facts are fully vouched for, and resomble occur rences m the lives of multitudes ■ Several years, ago Qriffifch Jones was a noiiceman at Holy head, Wales. 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 co often gather on those dangerous waters and bea,fc with violence opon the coa3t, ♦• 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 grayed that the husband and father might take no harm m the wild tempest, This was hard lines, but ill fcb* family (though they were poor enough) thare was still health and comparative comfort. But m a bad storm the policeman caught a heavy cold. Home remedies failed to ©ure 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 siid it was the liver, and he was right; but correct opinions don't cure disease. He head troubled him, too, and he was of ted so giddy he could hardly walk. '1 am so tired and weary," he would say, "I don't know what makes me. I try to rest and slee.pv b#fc t#b up just aa dead I iced as when I go to bed. v \ Then worse came. He sat down to his table, but revolted from his food ; appdtite 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 hat ty and nauseous kind of g^s or : wind came \ip intp his throat, Jiket the eifjpluvia from » towb. His wtfo «»Ue4 hii fttto^t^ to

the ghastly yellow colour of. his eyes and skin, and onee 1 m a while he would have n spell of palpitation of the heart that made him afraid of falling dead—perhaps m some lonely place. In spite of it all, however, Policeman Jon s kept on duty as much as evar lie could. Of course. So would any honest plucky man. But he slept fitfully, with bad dreams. He cried out sometimes with the terror of them, and the frightened | children said, "Is pupa going* to die V He was, and is, one of the most patient and loving of men, yet now he was cross and surly to hi.? family. Then something new developed. There c;nne a pain un'doif his left shoulder blade ; his wrists and knees grew swcllen 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 merely symptems of indigestion and dyspepsia. The policeman now fel '-' he must give up, and, if he"did;' then what He could foresee nothing Hit destitution Now we Come 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? Enter ing the Holyhead station house :On. day, ill, depressed, weak, and miserable, ke 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, I just as though the book had been written for him and for him alone. It named a cure for all his ailmentsf a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. The plain honesty of bhe statements Won his 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 under the sod or be the strong new man he has been ever since
