Plump Against a Big Fact.

It is not properly any part of 1117 busi ness to ci.-force lessons m tthics ; there fore I commonly leave that responsible task to those whose vocation it is. Beit no rmn can continually writs on the sub ject which constitutes the burden of these essays without now aad then running plump against a mighty fact m morals. If you will be good enough to read ihe following short letters I will then try to show why I was rcov<d to speak a* I have spoken. ' My daughter Annie J*ne,' writes that young girl's mother, 4 now five years of ape, was a fine healthy child up to March, 1891, when t-he began to bicken and fall away. She had no appeme and eveiy pafticle of food she took came up She lost strength rapidly ai.d within a fort night she was thin as a rake, being hoc much else but skin and bone. Fur days and cUys she lay m a hal;'-conse:ous coii dii)n, scarcely moving hand or foot, and to all appearance lif less. I had a doctor attending her four weeks, and he said the chili was sofJodng from indigestion, yet, sof+ran we could see, his treatment h.^c) no tffdct. My husband and I, and all that saw the poor baby, thought she was alow y dying, and w<i were almost hi art-brt ken ay the thought of losing her. 'JNothii g that we gave herdid theeligh 1. eat good, and the child was fading away, when one d»y, towards the end of April, a lady called, and after seen g Annie Jine, advised us to use M-.thor Seigel'a §he said sh« had known the lives of nnny children saved by this medicine who were down with the same complaint. 1 hurried to get a bottle frtm Mr Koutly, the chem ist, m Sosan's Road, and began giving it m small doses. In less than twen y-four hours the child began to eat, the sickness stopped, and we could see a change for the batter We kept on giving fche Syrup, Bnd m two weeks Annia was well as ever, and fast getting back her fldsb, Since that time—now four years ago—she lus oever been ill We consider that Mother Seigel'a Syrup saved her life. You can publish thia statement and refer anyone to me. (Signed) Mr-3 Annie Alexander, 35, Melbourne Road, Eastbourne, August Ist, 1895.' My son Joseph, writes Mr Joseph B ?nd, of Baiter's Green, May field, Sussex, waw never Btrcn?. He did not come on like other children. He waR weak, t-ickly, and puny. He ate but little, and w«i usually inpiin until he vomited most of it up again. Nothirggave h'm strength. In February, 1894, his feet and ankles began to fester. JSext three abscesses formed on his ntck and under the chin, makiug deep holes. He was merely skin and bone. The absceeses seemed to be exhausting his life's blood. He was m a doctor's care five months, bub got no better. From July (189i)he had four months' treatment at the Tunbridge Wells Hospital, without benefit. The doctors gave him me'Hcims and cjd-liver oil, bat nothingdtreng hened him.

'In December, 1894, I concluded to take the ease into ray own hands, and gave him a medicine that had cured my wife —Mother Seigel's Syrup. Tj oar asti n is^ment and delight he tnganto improve m a few days. He could (at, and was stronger for it. We kepb g vmg him the Syrap, and he grew better every day. The abscesses soon hnaled, and he is now a fine healthy boy, nina years old, and strong for the first time sinca he vns born. Publish this letter if you wi4i andiefer inquirers to me. (Signed) Joseph Bond, Juiy26 b,1890.' What, now, islhatmigbty fact m morale? Aek yourself the question. V\hhra r justice was there m the suffering of these! wo little childron 1 For whose sake was it 1 Why do tfie majority of the human race die m infancy an i childhood? That bundle of laws and fitrnpß called ' nature' las no pity, no mercy Obey and live; disobey and peribb, that's the whole story Then how dotß Mother Se'gel's Syrup cote '( It cores by bringing the diae^std and suffering bal-y bick where natnr 's hand cm reach it. It pu^s the derailed coach back on the nv-tal,-i, it re-hunches the stranded hh'p The radical trouble of both Annie Alexander and Joseph BoirJ waa of the digestion. The first fa mere baby j then) having been seized with ncute m- i digestion, and the boy having, as his father tptls us, been born with a feeble stomach. Hence, m hJa case, the bad bfoorl and abs cesaen by which nature sought to remove ifc. Will parpnta take waniing from i hcKe instances? I hopß so.

Agent*for|Cooper's Sheep Dip. . fTIHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender JL heart beneath a stern appearance. He is said to have been m tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's anger —controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, eveiyv ' is lost through the horse falling lame; and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, " I tittered no com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17 WILLIAM =z. =PATCHING, EAST STREET.
