Sometimes, if I did not take medicine, I would go four or five days, without any action of the bowels. During all this time I was weak and suffered from Indigestion constantly, About a year ago a friend advised me to try "Fruit-a-tives" as they had helped her. I began taking "Pruit-a-tives" and from the outset I began to feel better, and inside of a month the pains were almost gone and the Constipation relieved. In two months I was perfectly well again, no pains, no coustipation, and my complexion had lost all that sallow appearance. (Sgd) Marv A. McDONRLL. ""Pruit-a-tives"--or Fruit Liver Tablets --are the only remedy kpown to science that actually cure Constipation. They do this by making the liver healthy and active--thus causing more bile to flow into the bowels. * ase ** Pruit-a-tives "' -- or * Fruit Liver Tablets' are sold by dealers at 50¢ a box 6 for §2.50--or will be sent on of price.

Age had crowned his head with hoary hairs, and many a noble barque had he guid ed over the belle river of the Cana- das. "And what shall I tell you, love ?"' queried the old man, as 1 seated myself by his side and placed a brimming goblet of ale nearby to help his memory in reviewing the past "Tell me a story of the St. Lawrence" I answered, "something real and true," For a moment he was silent ; then sipping his ale he commenced : Many ,L years ago, when 1 was so small a boy as to hardly recollet it now, my brother and myself were placed on hoard one of the river steamers as cabin boys and waiters, | with a view to hecoming pilots when That wad nearly fifty boats were not fitted nor were {friend of my uncle's, we ware older, years ago, and up in the style they are now, good pilots to be found every day We had run up and down several times, when one morning about ten o'clock, we stopped at Brockville, to take on hoard, as usual, a govern ment pilot to guide us down the riv- er, It was late in the season, and we had a strong wind the night before, leaving the river rough. Our usual pilot had hard work to keep the boat in its proper track, while it brought us into Brockville two hours later than the usual time, The clouds over- head still looked cold, and the wind] blew fresh and strong, when, making | all possible haste, we again put out of the harbor, and were soon bound: ng on our way. : throughout the morning, I noticed an anxious look on the captain's face which bespoke his uneasiness about the termination of our journey. We had a good many passengers on board, and although we usually reach- ed Montréal by four o'clock in the afternoon, we should be delayed until six, if not later, About ten miles this side of Lachine, a storm of rain com- menced, which rendered it almost im- possible to guide the boat, while the rapids of that name, the most bois terous on the river, were yet to be destruction atch er Then wad waves dasied higher; while the thunder peal ad a loud dehance to her words. With palud face and lips compressed, she took her station at the wheel, while two powerful men stood by her to 81d os tar as possible.

Once again the spoke of the wheel slipped from the * grasp of him that held it, but a fair jewelled hand ar- rested its progress, and stayed the which otherwise would have followed its swerve from duty. Onward sped the noble boat, and when darkness shut the last rock from our sight, one defeating shout rose high above the storm for her who so bravely guided us through the sha- dows of death, She would accept Bo thanks for herself, but bidding us "give thanks to Him whose voice ever ruleth the storm," she retired to her stateroom, and was lost to view Around the cabin table that night, before we entered the 'harbor of Mont real, we learned her history. She was the daughter of the médrchant who owned the line of boats, one she had just saved from ruin, Her mother died when she was a child, and her father had yielded to her wishes, and allow- ed her to accompany him on' the boat of which he was captain. Dy degrees she became accustomed to every bend in that beautiful river, which in calm and storm alike, brought scenes of beauty to her eye. She, was now on her way to visit some friends in Que- bec, where her father proposed joining her to spend the winter, A gentleman artist sketched her likeness on a leaf of his portfolio, as she stood at the wheel, wrapped in the pilot's ¢oat, with the glass in her hand; and her full length portrait still graces the gallery of fine arts at Montreal. Many The crowning {a rough hand grasped the smowy fin gers at parting, and many a blessing crowned her head. A magnifient dia- mond bracelet, bearing upon an in- side plate the ' name of the vessel and date of the occurrence, was presented to her about a week afterward by the passengers. She married an officer in Quebec, and her children still live there. One js a gallant sailor who plows the ocean in on€ of the. noble battleships of England. This incident Must "have happened about 1540, as the firgs steamer that went through the rapids, belonged to the Hon. John Hamilton, of King- ston, having been built by Mr. White, passed, The pilot was one of the best on the route, but a man of passion- ate temper, with a peculiar, dogged | look, Between him and the ordinary | boat pilot there existed an old grudge | which had once or twice led to blows, I'bat morning, while passing one of the higher fails, they stood together at the wheel, where owing to the current of the water and the almost | exhausted strength of him who had | guided us all the night, one spoke of | the wheel slipped from his hands, and nearly caused an accident of a pretty serious nature. This annoyed his com-| panion, and hard words passed be- | tween them, since which time a sullen | silence had been preserved. When about two miles above the Lachine Rapids, some of the rigging aloft gave away, and the night pilot} mounted the upper deck with a lad-| der, to make it fast. The wind blew | fiercely, and while exerting all his strength to stay the mischief, he loat | his hold and fell, the ladder coming down directly upon eur government pilot, wounding him pretty severely. | Not pausing to look at the mischief, | he seized the unfortunate man, and, | with almost superhuman strength, gt: | ed him above the boat railing. other quickly guessed his a] and winding his arms around the meek | of his companion, they fell together] in the boiling flood below. We lowered | the lifehoat as. quickly as possible, | but it was in vain, they sank, locked | in each other's arms, | The boat now rapidly rushed on, coming nearer to the frightful papid, while terror struck faves were around, at the thought that no master's hand was near to guide us through the dark passage below, The scene we had beoa called to witness only made our situation more terrific, while wild and feariul eyes around us bespoke the agonizing apprehension of the passen- | geri and crew as we went plunging to | destruction, scarcely half a mile from | the gulf, whose dashing. waves we could so distinctly hear. The captain bad told us of his inability to guide us through the perilous passage, while deck, gangway, and cabin were filled with men, women and children, some of whom were praying, some weeping, other® intensely mute with \ ony.

Just as frenzy had began to calm down into sober earnest, preparations for the pending doom then came out of the state room a fair young creature, .over whose head sixteen summers had pass- od.
