A Sufficient Reason.

Visitor from out of town (addressing tlie school)—ln the year 1825, my dear young friends, several boys walked from Salem to Boston and back, a distance of thirty miles, to hear Daniel Webster speak. If there were no railroads or means of transportation today, would the boys of the present generation undertake such a journey, do you think ? Sma’l Boy (after a long silence) — No, sir. Visitor—Ah! and why? Small Boy—Because Mr. Webster is dead. —New York Sun. The trials of life are like the tests which ascertain how much gold there is in us. “As 1b the bud bit with aa envious worm,” so is many a youth cut down by tne gnawing worm consumption. But it can bo made to release Its bold and stop its gnawing. Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” will, if taken In time, effect permanent cures, not only In consumption,, but in all cases of chronic throat, bronchial, and lung diseases. Cucumbers ought to be called “mis-fit vegetables.”
