Hfci whole bearing, and hia direct manner In nnswerlng questions were convincing to no small degree, and the belief was general that this time he was really telling the truth. “Things have changed,“ said Mr. Er win. referring to the altered bearing of the witnees, who, when he was ar raigned, was a trembling, frightened wretch. “Ho-.v do you fdel now?” "I am happy.” "What makes you happyV "Lord God In heaven. I feel I have a Ilf? there, and while there Is a sore at my bread over U«> »wfuX crime, God has his promises still for you.” "You feel that you are forgiven?” "Yes, sir; I do. God has forgiven me, and I have felt happy since I have been a better man and told it all. No one mode any promises to mef for me to tell what I know. They did not say that tbe public was excited and might hang' me." OH, WHAT A COUGH. Will you heed the warning? Tha signal, perhaps, of the sure approach ot that more terrible disease, consump tion.
