The long jotifney which some of the attendants had made in order to be present at such a time somewhat whetted their appetites and caused every one to partako freely of those things which go along toward satisfy ing ones hunger.

NEWSY ITEM FROM 11 OL L I N G S W O KT H. It was our very great pleasure to at tend the singing at Damascus Church Sunday. Tue singing was conducted by several class-leaders, all did remark ably wed!, and reflected much credit upon the Society, and upon the young men who have it in charge. There was one piece rendered by the Glass upon this occasion that lias left such an impression upon my mind, I must mention it here. After each class leader had served the time allotted him by the Committee of arrangements the President of the So ciety arose and, in a very impressive manner announced that lie desired to sing just one piece before the close, in which he hoped the entire audience would join. There was a hushed silence for a few moments, every one seemed to anticipate what was coming, when suddenly, in clear musical tones there burst upon the stillness these familiar lines, Dear happy clays that gather around mo still, Oh 1 the old School house that stands upon the hill. I never,nd never can forget. When he hnd fnithed, the emotions of the audience were plainly visible. Oh! how sad, how very pathetic the scene, how many dear recolections these recall, of the old school days with some of us long since passed , but sweet memory clings to us still. I never, it ), never can forget. With salt tears streaming down my face, I thought of the past, I thought of the many little indefinable emotion that I had experienced in my palmiest school days; Of my little scqol-mates among them,of my old Sweetheart, who,unfor tunately for me,is now claimed by the other fellow, of the old swing and play ground. At each new emotion the tears would swell up afresh and the old scene would rush upon me a-new, and then would come the thought of some wrong done,or some time ill spoilt, but the past isbe-hind us. We have nothing but memory up( n which tooling. What does tlio future hold instore, dear reader, for you and for me? After a very eloquent sermon by Rev A. J. Cobb the services for the day were closed. More anon. .B.J.S.

The discovery of MeElfree's Wine of Cardui has brought about a revolt! don m the treatmeul of the common complaints, from which all women sometimes suffer, caPed “Female Diseases.” The b> lief that these troubles could only bn treated after examinations by physicians, and frequently only cured bv the suiseon’s knife, was once widespread. The dread of such treatment, and expos lire kept thousands of modest women silent about their suffering. They preferred the pains and tarturo to going to a physician about such matters.

It has now been demonstrated that nine cases out of ten of women’s disorders, painful and troublesome as they are, do i ot require the attention of a physician at all. “Local taeat ment” or “private examinotions” have been shown to be entirely un necessary. The simple, pure wine of Cardui, taken in the privacy of the home insures quick relief. It is entirely unnecessary for any woman to suffer from these almost universal complaints.
