not loi o her well enough to forgiie her
when she ran away and maiiied 11 poor
young man to whom ho had foibidtlcn
her to speak. Hut Patty had a way of
getting on the right hido of cierjbody ;
she was 11 bright bonny little woman,
and as sly 11 cotpiottc as if sho had been
eighteen instead of eight. Still, if it had
not been for her jellow hair and black
ejes, J doubt, if Mr. Mathcw Kedfield
would hive opened his heart to her as he
diit. Toi his lost daughter had yellow
hair and black eyes, and it is, rather un
common to mo tneni togi titer, ou

not so easy.

Tbe Origin of Familiar Sayluss
If other jietsons shaie the curiosity I

Itisclo-oon to the usual season for
setting hens, omc few eggs might be
trusted to good, steady setters, whose
qualities h.no been tried, for all who
haio raised chickens know that there is
ns gieat a difference in individual hen
mothers as theio is among the human
kind. Experience shows that a cioss
between Plymouth Kock and White Leg
horn mako tho best for all uscs. The
hens should bo Leghorns while tho
male should be l'lj mouth Kock stock.

Oh,MyBack!
That'1? a common expres
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver com
plaint, consumption, cold,
nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Brown's Iron Bitters, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and mak
ing the blood pure and rich.
Wm, P. Marshall, of Logans
port, Intliana,writes "My wife
lias for many jears been trou
bled from pain in her back
antl general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Crow n's Iron Bitter-,
and I can truthfully say that
she lias been so much benefited
tliat she proasances it the
only remedy of many .medi
cines felic lias tried."
Leading physicians and
.:lergymen use and recom
mend Brown's Iron Bit
ters. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and k
will cure yot:
