he had never been so joyous as at the moment of return in jj home as he had foaud cothine to complain of and his dog j oc of doors jiroperty the pehoolmastcr smilingly assented and hojx went on his

the cause were known his landlord might as well have written on his back a receipt in foil as robert reflected thus he arrived at the tavi-r- hi- was passing b when he perceived mr taylor himself at a few paces distant and on the other side his neighborhnllins dragging his wooden leg and con venting with ham stokes the carpenter harry stokes was the wit of the village and hope would not have en- i

week that his rent had fallen tc- j hiudhand and he was sadly advancing to- ward the house of mr taylor in order to make his excuses for the delay he met f neighbor hullins who was as regular as a l clock in paying hi3 rent and had just been for that purpose the very sight of samuel produced on bobert the effect of a fit of sickness so when he bowed in reply to the salute of hollina his glance singularly resembled that of a ball shaking his horns at a dog arrived at the house of the proprietor hope did not fail to be reprimanded the example of his neighbor was cited who always paid punctually and to the last pqnny i ofre yea murmured robert some j people are born with silver spoons in their j month hullms is very fortunate and i i am not surprised that he pays punctually i with such a pension hullins hab a pension it is true re plied mr taylor but his infirmity is a heavy cross and if yon were afflicted with it t should pity yoa much more- not so said hope if i had been so

the bnknd fluttering along through the j fields with a wounded wing such was kobert on his way home at the other end of the village kow he walked rapidly lest he should be overtaken now slowly lest he should meet some one now in the road now in the fields gliding behind bushes climbing the walls and shunning glances like a gipsy who has stolen a chicken from a farmers poultry yard at this moment the white cross was an insupportable weight at last he reached his dwelling and this time hoped to find a little reat but as soon as his wife perceived him she began to cry oat are you not ashamed to come back as you went five or bix neighbors have ask ed me if you have lost yoursenses 1 quick let me rub oat that cross away woman exclaimed robert exasperated you shall not remain so hope 1 will uot

mrs hope who was not remarkable for patience replied by a blow and the result was a scuffle between the two to the great scandal of the neigh- bors who ran to separate fhem everybody blamed bobert who when he became calm understanding that there was no hope of rest or peace for him other wise effaced the cross of his own accord the monday following he carried his rent to the house of his landlord ah ah robert aaid mr taylor on perceiving him i thought you would soon repent of your bargain this is a good lesson for envious and impatient disposi tions who are incessantly complaining of god and

blacksmith then perceived the mark made hy mr taylor goodness 6aid he laughing he might do for a eign to the white cross i suppose said the butcher that his wife has marked him thus for fear of los ing him hope felt that there was for him but one method of escaping at the same time from the apron of peggy and the jokes of the butcher and bucksmitl so he hastened to leave the spot not without bome abusive language to his neighbors but the cross had begun to weigh more heavily upon his shoulder than he had at first supposed the unfortunate robert seemed destined this day to provoking encounters for he had gone but a few steps when he found ftimself opposite the school house school was just out and the scholars were at this smiths drug store is the best place to buy your drugs

land some three years ago in on omha cunard steamers j noticed one ionrinff after a few dag out of port a yo ug man hobbling about on the upper deck import ed by crutches and seeming to n vo with extreme difficulty and no little j tin he was well 6res8ed and of exceeding i hand some countersnee btt ln limbs were somewhat emaciated aud his face very sallow and bnre the traces of long suffering- as- he seemed to have no attendant or companion he at once attracted my sym pathies and i went up to him as he leaned against tbe taffrail looking out on the foaming track which the steamer was making excuse me my young friend 1 said touching himgentjy on the shoulder yon appear to be an invalid and hardly able or strong enough to trust yourself unattended on an ocean voyage but if you require any assistance i am a- robust and healthy man and shall be glad to help you yoa are very kind ha replied in a weak voice bat i require no present aid beyond my crutches which enable tne to pass from my stateroom np here to get the benefit of the sunshine and the sea breeze l you have been a great sufferer no doubt i said and 1 judge that you have been afflicted with that most troublesome disease rheumatism whose prevalence and intensity seeis to be on an alarming increase both in england and america you are right he answered i have been its victim for more than a year and after failing to find relief from medical skill have lately feicd the springs o carlsbad and vichy but theyhave done me no flood and i am now on my return home to missouri to die i suppose i shall be content if life is spared me to reach my mothers presence she is a widow and 1 am her only child there was a pathos in this speech which affected me profoundly and awaken- ed in me a deeper sympathy than i had felt before i had no words to answer him and stood silently beside him watching the bnswy wake of the ship while thus standing my thoughts reverted to a child a tenyear old boy of a neighbor of mine residing hear my consulate residence who had been cured of a stubborn case of rheumatism by the use of st jacobs oil and i remembered that the steward of the ship had told me the day before that he had cured himself of a very severe attack of the gout in new york just before his last voyage by the use of the same remedy i at once left my young friend and went below to find the steward i not only found him off duty but discovered that he bad a bottle of the oil in his locker which he had carried across the ocean in case of another attack he readily parted with it on ray representation and harrying up again 1 soon persuaded the young man to allow me to take him to his berth and apply the remedy after doing bo i cover ed him up snugly in bed and requested him not to get up until i should see him again that evening i returned te his stateroom and found him sleeping peacefully and breathing gently i roused him and in quired how he felt like a new man he answered with a grateful smile i feel no pain and am able to stretch my limbs without difficulty i think ill get up j no dont get up tonighti said but let me rub you again with the oil and in the morning you will be much better able to go above all right he said laughing i then applied the oil again rubbing his knees ankles and arms thoroughly until he said he felt as if he had a mustard poultice all over bisbody i then left him the next morning when i went up on deck for a breezy promenade according to my custom i found my patient waiting for me with a smiling face and without ku crutcliet although he limped in his movements but without pain i dont think i ever felt so happy in my life to make a long story short 1 attended him closely during the rest of our voyage ome four days pply- ing the oil every night and guarding him against top much exposure to the fresh and damp spring breezes apd on landing at new york he was able without assistance to mount the hotel omnibus and go to the astor house i called on him two days later and found him actually engaged in packing his trunk preparatory to starting west for his home that evening with a bright and greatful smile he welcomed me and pointing to a little box coref ully done up in a thick brown poper which stood upon the table hs said my fbod friend can you guess what- that is a present for your sweetheart i answered no he loghed that is dozen bottles of st jocobs oil which i have just purchased from hudnut the druggist across the way and i am taking them home to show my good mother what has saved hex sons life and restored him to her in health and with it i would like to carry you along also to show her the face of him without whom i shoold probably never have tried it if yoa should ever visit the little village of sedalia in missouri gliaruej townsend and his mother will welcome yfan to their little home with hearts foil o gratitude and they will show you a bottle of st jacobs oil enshrined in a silver and gold casket which we shall keep as a parloi ornament as veil as memento of onr meet- ing on the canard steamer we parted after an hours pleaaant chat with mutual goodwill and esteem and a few weeks afterwards v received a letter
