The girl Q on the crimson covered sofa raised her 1 eyes to the picture once or twice, and ' then sighed a little, though a smile succeeded the sigh each time. She was very pretty, too, with lovely, shimmering hair and violet-blue eyes, . but the delicate features were too fragile for perfect health, and the tiny hands were white and waxen as palest: marble, and she was a cripple, “so that ends it all 1" she said of her- self, with a frankness very sad and yet very childlike. She took the darkest view of the case, her friends told her sometimes, t ed ailments, was distinctly hopeful at heart, and that is always a good sign. But she would never sing as she had sung in the old days, like a lark ris- , ing from his bed in the yellow corn1 land, above the sea, pouring out a flood of wonderful wild melody, all his heart's story of love and thankfulness and praise, or like a wave on the .gold- en margin of the shining sands, plain- tive and plashing and sinking into sil- ence with a long-drawn sigh. For a little while she had come and sung the people who listened into happy wistfulness and sweet remem- :- bering.

Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills Cure 3 Disease hitherto regarded as Incurablc. The case of Mr. G. O.

And the violets breathed their sweet- ness over the quiet room, and the fire flames burned slowly, slowly down, and. the lovers talked of the new glad reported from the eastern provinces, and his cure by Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills the more remarkable from the fact that he was given up as incurable by worthy and respected physicians. 7 A4â€"â€"-â€"-‘ cuvz+k “VI 911} “I.“ swu‘avv--_ r“ The disease, Locomotbr Ataxia, with which Mr. Archibald was afflicted is considered the most obstinate and incur- able disease of the nervous system known.
