Th.s preparation i3 most effectiyo 'for giving tone and strength to tho enfeebled system, pro moting tho digestion and assimilation of food, restoring tho nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purify ing, enriching, and" vitalizing tho blood. Failing Health. Ten years ago my health began to fall. I was troubled with a distressing Cough, Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous ness. I tried various remedies pro scribed by different physicians, but becamo so weak that I could not go tip stairs without stopping to rest. Jly friends recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which I did, and 1 am'nov as healthy and strong as ever. ilrs. 13. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, in my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly cradicsto this terrible disease. I Jiaio lso prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an -ilterathc, and must say that I honestly beIioc it to bo tho best blood medicino evercompounded. W. F. Fowler, M. D., D. D. S., Greenvillc.Tcnn. Dyspepsia Cured. It would bo impossible for mo to de scribe what I suffered from Indigestion and Headache up to tho time I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under tho care of various physicians, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than temporary re lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for a short time, my hcadaclio disap peared, and my stomach performed its duties moro perfectly. To-day my health is completely restored.

JOHN A. &fc MONTGOMERY ' 0 Hi Has a FirstClass STOCK. : SEHO OP A BOWSPBIT. On April 12, 1877. one of the most terrible storms that ever visi ted the North Carolina coast be gan, and lasted for three days, cul minating oh the 15th at Cape Fear. It was fearfully destructive to life and property, wrecking many ships with their crews and cargoes and burying them beneath the waves. One large, three-masted vessel broke up, and parts of her drifted into Smithvillc bay, a prize for the wreckers, which not only illustrated the force of the storm, but was a curiosity in the strength of its structure. "All her bolts," said one who examined pieces of the wreck, "are bni&b, four, six and eight feet long; the knees are Solid iron, and the outside planking si 'inches through and of stout nine." , There-were two Smithvillu pilot boats the Mary K. 'Sprunt and the Uriah 2'immoiis'crashg off the coast at the time the fctorm commenced, and finding it impos sible to make a harbor they were compelled to stand off and try to weather it out. The Mary K. Sprunt had a crew of five men, viz.: Christopher Pinner, Robert Walker, Charles Dasher Jr., Thomas Grissom and Lawrence Gillespie, the cook. They were brave and skillful men, but after a desperate struggle, in which all that the most skillful seamanship could accomplish had been ex hausted, she went down with all on board. , , On the 2Sth tho body of Tom Grissom was found by the pilot- boat JI, ) eUermaitn lloating at sea, about nine miles out, and the pilots also found the Jfury K. Sprunt lying on tlie bottom, in eleven and a half fathoms, her white sails, torn- into 'ribbons, shining up through the blue depths and undulating with the motion of the restless sea. . The Uriah 2'immons had a-crcw of four men C. C. Morse, Julius Weeks, Joseph Thompson Jr.'and Joseph Arnold and of these Ar nold was the youngest, hardly 20 years of age. Every precaution was taken upon the approach of the storm, and, with only enough canvas to steer by, she faced it. All day and night of the 12th sh lea'ped and rolled aiul dived lik .: cork on the waves, while the htw' in increased in fury every li'-u. Day dimly dawned on the lUth over a howunjr waste ot waters, whose billows heaved her skvward, leaving great chasms, down whose sides sbe. rushed headlong as if to certain destruction. A gray mibt shrouded sky and sea, and the storm fiend shrieked with that un earthly voice which, once heard, is never forgotten. Cowering be fore the blast, licked from stem to stern by the tongue of the hungry sea,- groaning and sobbing, as sbe strained up the watery ncights'or slid down the hissing gulfs, the little ship drove on. Although carrying but thirteen yards of can vas, the jaw of the boom was eat ing into tho foremast like a fam ished animal. With the advan cing day the fury of tho -gale in creased. It seemed as if the spirit of an angry god walketlthe waters and lashed the .elements in hi& wrath. A mountainous wave, leading the host of bilious, would rush toward the little vessel, and, toppling as if to fall upon and crush her, would lower its crest, and, gliding beneath her trembling timbers, lift her almost-clear in the air.andtoss her, toy like, to anotherhuge, billow,- while the multitudinous" ocean roared Wit h rage. The crew of tho Timmim, bravo and hardy mariners us they were, and accustomed to storms on the broad water from. childhood, stood appalled at tho surpassing terrors of this awful scene. Lashc'd in the cockpit, with vice-like grip upon the wheel and drenched to the skin, s.at Julius Weeks, who had boon there thirteen hours. At lar.l, toward afternoon, -to the, utter dis may of all on board, the jib halyard parted, and flying down the stay, the jib hung, bag like, below the bowsprit, and instantly the s-.-i, lik6 a ravenoU3 beast,- fell upon it and held it down as if devouring it. Tho brave boat struggled haul to lift hen bow, -thus weighted from the waves, and with a mighty effort succcdcd. Again the sea seized and held the bellying jib, and again the gallant boat, struggled, raised it clear, but with weakening power. .The pilots now realized that, Unless immediately released from this new and frightful danger, the Timmons could not hold her head up, but must founder after a few more struggles; bat, feeling as sured that an attempt to reach the jib-stay would result in certain death, as no man could ever remain on the bowsprit even if he could reach it, they were stricken with despair. "We are lost," exclaimed one; "unless we can cut that jibstay we arc certainly gone. A man can't live there, but it is our only hope." Who should do the desperate deed? they hurriedly agreed to decide the matter by lot, and were about to proceed to do so, when Joe Arnold, who was now at the wheel, sheuted: "Ilold on, men! You are all mairied and have families; I am a single man; let mo-try. it, ,niid if 1 go oerboard it will be all right;" and, surrendering 'the wheel the brave boy drew his shcalh knife, and putting it between his teeth started forward. It was impossible to keep his footing, and so he crawled, cau tiously along the deck (there is no railing to a pilot-tyoat), holding on as best he could. Ilis companions watched him. with tho eagerness of m'en whose only hope of life hung on his steadiness ot nerve and physical strength. If he reached the bowoprit in safety, the sea would certainly beat him off, lor every tunc the little craft plunged the waves seemed to leap up and meet her. For the first time since childhood fervent prayers rose to the lip-, of some of these- men who had "fullowcd the sea" all their days without thinking of Him whose nicsoncp they now realized as they had never realized it before and tears lowed -freely down their bronzed faces. Joe reached .the, .. foremast, .and just then the Timmiws i oiled nearly on her beam 'CudsT lie threw his arm around tbomastam! held on. Tho storm w-as now in describably fierce and the sea terrific. As the vessel slowly re covered herself he loosened his hold and crawled toward ijie bow sprit. He i cached it, got astride of it, looked his arms mound it, li(..i long breath, and then, with i rush I he Timvioiis buried hei nrad and Joe uisapnenred in the sct'tliing waters. "-Tlie crew held their breath in an agony of suspense, while their eyes strained toward the boiling foam which eiigrtlfed him. In a moment the staunch cial't, as if conseious of the heioic effort for her relief, and stimulated by it to renewed exertion, bounded for ward and upward through the dashing waters. And onHhc bow sprit, which was pointing skyward, the crew saw Joe straightening himself into a sitting position, his knife still held between his clench ed teeth, and preparing 'to crawl still further out. Again and again this' scene was enacted, each plunge and rise finding the hero nearer to the object at which he aimed, while the crew fairly ached with the intensity of their emo tions. ' . lie rouclied it at last, and, watching the most favorable op portunity, released his right arm, snatched the knife from his fecth, and with a swift and powerful stroke cut the jibstay through .as the trqm!51iug vessel started down another lea, restored the knife to its place, again clasped the bow sprit in his arms, and again disap peared bnt'onlv for 4a moment, for thu Timmons. now relieved of the-weight which held lior down, sprang out of the threatening gulf as if with new life iuspired. It was x great relief, but the tempest was- still at its height, and now both Joe and the crew realized that the most hazardous pirt ol this heroic enterprise was still before him, uamelv, getting back to the deck atnn. It was not unlike coming down-from albft , lie had to re peat tliis desperate performance luck ward. -Slowly, and --still -astride 6f the bowsprit, and still alternately plunged into the sea and lifted lnijh in air, he began the fearful task. KvV-ryv ins-tant was a crisis, every moment threatened tu be his last: but slowly and steadily he approached the deck. Finally he reached it, slid alonr the foic mast; clasped 'it as before, and, at; last, crawlmir, laid himsclt down exhausted amid his awe-struck companions. . . That storm still howled, the sea was still awful, and night was com ing on another night of horrors but the Timmons carried her head free and a feeling akin to confi dence was beginning to take the place of despair in the breasts of tlie crew. The- passed into the gloom of the starless night upon that wild waste of waters, clinging to the hope that with the coming of another day the storm would pass. And their hope was not in vain. Graduallj' the violence of the wind abated although the sea. still leaped frantically and by the" next morning had ceased to be alarming. They looked eagerly for the land, gave more sail, aud in a few hours recognized points which assured them that they were off Georgetown, S. C. With great ful hcaits they steered for the bar and entered tho bay in safety, with no other damage to the Timmons than the loss of her boats, sails and rigging, a foremast rubbed ahnost in two and some strained timbers'. Joe Arnold still lives and pur sues his callintr. and ho will bo I greatly astonished if ho ever sees this account of his heroism, for he is modest and does not think he did anything worth talking about.
