Suffered 20 Years.

M RS. MARY LEWIS, wife of a promi
nent farmer, and well known by all
old residents near Belmont, N. Y a .
writes: “For twenty-seven years I bad been
a constant sufferer from nervous prostra
tion, and paid large sums of money for doc
tors and advertised remedies-without bene
fit. Three years ago my condition was
alarming; the least noise would startle and
unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, bad a
number of sinking spells and slowly grew
worse. I began using Dr. Miles* Restorative
Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first
the medicine seemed to have no effect, but
after taking a few bottles I began to notice
a change; I rested better at night, my appe
tite began to improve and I rapidly grew
better, until now I am as nearly restored
to health as one of my age may expect. God
bless Dr.Miles’Nerrine.'

A Wiso Answer.
It takes but an ordinary man to
return an answer to an insult.
The extraordinary man is he
who, under such circumstances,
holds himself so well under con
trol that he controls his adver
sary also.
Persia once possessed such a
man and was clear-sighted enough
to make him a judge. He was
the chief judge of Bagdad in the
reign of the Califf Hadee, and his
name was Aboo Yusuph. He was
a very wise man, for he knew his
own deficiencies, and was actually
sometimes in doubt as to whether
he possessed sufficient wisdom to
give a just decision in cases pe
culiarly shrouded in mystery.
It is related of him that on one
occasion, after a patient investi
gation of facts, he decided that he
had not sufficient knowledge to
pronounce on ine case before him.
There wa=> m-his presence a pert
courtier, one of those men who
take long to learn that wisdom
and impudence are not closely re
lated.
“Pray do you expect that the
cal iff is to pay you for your ig
norance?” lie asked, hoping to
place the judge at a disadvantage.
“I do not,” was the mild reply.
‘The Calif pays me—and pays me
well—for what I do know. Were
he to attempt to pay me for what
I do not know, the treasures of his
empire would not suffice.
Jeems.
The strangest thing happened to iny
little grandson Jeems;
Fer when I mention war news that
youngster fairly beams!
’N’ when the weekly paper comes
from the village store,
He runs ‘’n’ gets my specs ’n’ sits
pectant on the floor.
’N’ then he drinks in ev’ry word that
paper has to say;
’N’ after that he never seems to have
much heart to play.
We found him out behind the barn,
come Tuesday is a week,
A’wearing of his father’s cap—the one
that has a peak—
’N’ talking loud to Trouser, which the
same is iust a pup,
A’ saying words like “Shoulder harms!
Attention, company! Hup!”
’N’ when I ast him what it meant, he
said, “well grandma dear.
It ain’t no tellin’ when they’ll need an
other volunteer.
’N* yistiday we lost hin^—couldn’t find
him high nor low,
Until I searched the garret, where my
dearest relics go;
’N’ there was Jeems a’trying for to lift
a rusty gun—
The one his grandpa carried ’fore his
work on earth was done.
His grand pa’s army coat, too big for
him a mile,
He had put on to give himself a mili
tary style.
“IJ ain’t no tellin’ then says Jeems
“jus’ when they’ll want me, so
I thought I’d jus’ get used to guns but
ain’t they heavy, though!
’N’ grandpa’s coat—It mus’ have been
some time since it was wored!
’N’ look here in the shoulder, was that
where a bullet tored?”
I couldn’t, not for all the world, unto
that boy reply,
Fer, bein’ jus’ a woman, why I had to
go ’n’ cry.
Today Jeems came tome ’n’ sstys, “Now
gran'ma, won’t you write
’N’ tell my papa in the war I’m ready,
too, to fight!”
I kissed him on his curly hair, ’u’ says,
“Perhaps I will,”
’N’ he marched off with Touser to re
sume his daily drill.
In spite of all his youthfulness I
wouldn’t try to quell
That spirit—it would be no use, ’cause
blood is sure to tell.
—Hobart.
