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 bub a mere series of accidents which may happen to one person as well as another. Are the experiences that compose our lives links in 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 in Providence. We now propose to relate a story in illus tration ot this problem which may have some effect in arousing those who have always thought themselves the subject of blind chance. The following facts are fully vouched for, and resemble occur rences in the lives of multitudes. Several years ago Griffith Jones was a policeman at Holyhead, Vales.. He had a family consisting of a wife and five young children to take care of. Hply head is on St. George's (or the Irish) Channel, and is open to terrific gales that ho 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 in all weathers, day or night. He was often out in winter nights, in cold and darkness, exposed to the storms that drive in from the sea. At such times the wife listened to the rattling windows, and prayed that the husband and father might take no harm in the wild tempest. This was hard lines, but in the family (though they were poor enough) thbre was still health and comparative comfort. Btit in 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 wad the liver, and he was right; bu correct opinions don't cure disease. II head troubled him, too, and he was often bo giddy he could hardly walk. "I am sd tired and weary," he would say, "I dtth't know what makes me. I try to rest and sleep, but get lip just as dead tired aa when I go to 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 of his eyes and skin, and once in a while he would have a spell of palpitation of the heart that made him afraid of falling dead—perhaps in some lonely place. In apite of it all, however, Policeman Jones kept on duty as much as eVer he 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 papa going to die?" He was, and is, one of the most patient and loving of men, yet now he was cross and surly to his family. Then something new d ftveloped. There came a pain under his left shoulder blade ; his wrists and knees grew swollen and painful; this was rheumatism, caused, the doctors said, by the undigested and fermented food haying poisoned the blood. Kidney and bladder complaint followed -for they also are merely symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia. The policeman now felt he must give up, and, if he did, then what. He could foresee nothing but 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 in a savins; chain t 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 upoa 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 MotheJ* Seigel's Curative Syrup. The plain honesty of the statements won his confidence. He procured half-a-dozen bottles through Mr Henry Wilson, of the tt-ug Hall, Holyhead. Taking it he began to improve, and all his aches and pams vanished in 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 U more lucrative business, and wher ever he goes he spreads the fame of SeigelV 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 |»en ever since*

On rubbing Holloway's ointment repeatedly on the abdomen, a rash appears, and as it thickens the alvine irritability subsides. Acting as a denvntkf, this ungent draws to the surface, releases the tender intestines from all acrid matters,- and prevents in flammation, dysentry, and piles, for winch blistering was the old fashioned, though rteeessful treatment, now from its pamful ness fallen, into disuse, the discovery of this, ointment having proclaimed a remedy poa essing equally darimtixy, yet perfectly pain sess power j,—[Advt.] , Statutory Declaration.—-I. Franz Raabei, j Ironbark, Sandhurst, in the colony of Vie toria, Australia, do solemnly and sincerely declare that on the 25th June, 1877, my son Alfred, six years of age, was accidentally hurt with an axe on his knee. lat once took all pains to secure medical assistance. How : ever, in spite' of all efforts, on the 27th August, 1877, the opinion was given by Dr Macgillivray that an amputation of the injured limb had become imperative, in order to save life. At this juncture I called en Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some oi their Extract of Eucalyptus (?lobulus, and by the application of the same I had the satisfaction of seeing my son within a fort night out of all danger, and to-day he' is recovered. I may just add that it was when the crisis had been reached that the Extract referred to was first applied, and I make this solemn declaration, etc. Franz Raabe, Declared at Sandhurst, in the colony for Victoria, Australia, this seventeenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and srrcnty-seven, before me, MoritzCohn, j.P,~ —'Adrt.)
