A LIFE SAVED BY TARING AYER'S PECTORAL "Several years ago I caught a severe cold attended with a terrible cough that allowed me no rest, either day or night.

The Paris Review says :—While on a visit to Paris last week, Mrs. E. Shin- ner, of Primrose Hill, Woodstock, showed a few friends very interesting relics, one being a piece of wood from the sante plank out of which Napoleon Bonaparte's coffin was made when his body was returned to France. She had also two small pieces of the old coffiq in which the body had been in- terred -under the famous weeping wil- low at St. Helena. She bas also in her possession a wooden snuff box used by Napolaon when un the island. These mementoes of the famous Corsican Em- peror would be of great interest to the antiquarian. Mrs. Shinner was a daughter of Sergeant-Major Coghill of the 91st regiment, which was stationed at St. Helena when the remains were handed over to. the French authorities to be removed to France in a inan-of- war.

"You leave been having one ot your headaches at school, Willie, I can see that," and grandma looked at the trail little figure anxiously. "She's gone to h .r Woman's Club—no—it's the Work - Mg Girls' Aid," It makes a fellow almost wish he lived in a tenement or worked in a fac- tory, so as his mother would come to see him sometimes," sighed the wist- ful voice, as Wilile's hand went down in his pockets with an assumption or manliness comical to behold, and a. frown puckered his face. "The girls are having some kind of a class In the parlor, and I mayn't go in, and if it wasn't for you I'd rather be an orphan in an asylum and be done with it." And Willie withdrew his hands to Alt down In the big armchair and nurse his knee gloweringly. "I suppose it's because you're the oldest and I'm the youngest, and—and you know what they say, grandma— delicate. They think we can stay to- gether, and kind of see to each other. What's In that box by you, grandmaY' "It's from your Aunt Eleanor, Wil - Ile, for my birthday. She says, how- ever, that it will be impossible for her or for Hartman to be with me on that day." And grandma took from the box a dainty cap, such as Aunt Eleanor, the wife of grandmother's first born, took especial pride In making for her, al- ways claiming, so prettily, that • the sweet old face, with its bright eyes, soft skin and fleecy white hair, was her inspiration. But despite the pretty gift, Willie saw that grandma was grieved, and felt that he knew why. Had he been asked the date of her birthday, he most probably would have said, "the last Thursday in Novem- ber," for, coming on the 27th of that month, it was the family custom to merge the two, Thanksgiving and birthday, into one celebration. But this year, rich Uncle Albert, grandmother's youngest son, had sent a check instead of coming, while Un- cle Tom, the bachelor bookworm, had apparently forgotten all about it, and now, in addition, Aunt Eleanor, Un- cle Hartman and children were declin- ing. And so the old custom, a reunion of all her children and grandchildren on grandmother's birthday, was beginning to be discarded, something that had never happened while grandfather lived and h. and grandmother were In the old home. Not that grandmother was neglected in material comforts—It was not that. Willie's head had ached all day, and now his heart ached. Had the boys been home from college, or even had hie two sisters been present, -he never would have done It, but alone with grandmother, he often laid aside his funny little grown-up airs. "I think I will come and put my head on your lap," he said. Sounds of music and laughter came from below, where Marlon and Evelyn were entertaining the "Art Class." Then some one began to sing. Grandmother sat up straight in her chair, with her hand wandering softly over Willie's curls, and her bright eyes looking straight ahead, listening. "Oh, no—oh-h, no, no! Oh -h' n -o -o -o!" the voice declared over and over, in as many different keys, it seethed to grandmother, and then someone closed the door. "I like your songs the best," said he, "Sing me one now, grandma." Grandmother's eyes and thoughts came back to the little face on her knee. "What shall I sing you, dearle?" "I like soldier songs—'Oh, Give Me But My Arab Steed,' grandma." "That was what your grandfathers friend, the Governor, always asked for. Dear, dear! of all the men of note who frequented our house, the Gov- ernor alone is left, and he must be— yes, he is 90 years old now if a day—" "But the song, grandma." "Oh, give me but my Arab steea, A shield and falchion bright, And I will to the battle speed." sang grandmother, with now and then a break in her dear old voice. "Now, 'Fits Eustace,' " begged Wil- lie. • And the afternoon wore away. In her younger days she had been taught to be prompt to meals; so now grandmother sat and waited, or ate alone. This evening she and Willie were half through supper when the rest of the family appeared, full ot an announcement Mr. Bethel had made. "And as long as I have to go," he explained to grandmother, "I have been trying to get Madeline to go with me; for she has never been South, and even a hurried trip would do her good." "And I have about decided that I will," added Mrs. Bethel. "But grandma's birthday," objected Willie. Mrs. Bethel looked troubled. She had forgotten that. Grandmother set her teacup down. "The girls and Willie and I can have a quiet little celebration together," she said gently. Who will keep the house?" asked Evelyn. "Suppose you let me try this time, Madeline," replied grandmother, a lit- tle timidly, perhaps. Mrs. Bethel looked dubious. She seemed to have forgotten that grand- ma had been a most famous housekeep- er in her day. "I am not sure that you understand the ways of servants nowadays, mother," she began; "they are so dif- ferent from what they used to be." Grandma gave a quiet smile,knowing as she did that it was to her the ser- vants all came for advice and counsel In their troubles. But when Mrs, Bethel reflected how during a previous absence Evelyn had run deeply into debt, and how, on an- other occasion, the starving family had rebelled under absent-minded Marion's regime, she concluded it would be wise to accept grandmother's offer. "And the birthday," said Willie, anx- iously; the day after Mr, and Mrs. Bethel left, looking into grandma's eyes, which alone showed the hurt her heart felt, for Marlon and Evelyn had just received invitations to join a country friend's Thanksgiving house - Party, and, seeing their eagerness, grandmother bade them go. "You and I, Wlltie—" sire began, then turned her faee away to hide the tem that ,te epi'btr wrinkled xaes.

"So old, so alone Of my generation—nay, there are some few' left; Can It be they are as lonely? Do. they feel as left out of the life of to- day?" and grandmother mused fon. "I' will do it," she said, rising sud- denly and walking to the desk, ":Do what, grandma?" asked Willie. "There Is the Governor, and Old Col. Haskins and Elihu Galleher atilt writ- ing poetry at 79, they tell me. And there is Hetty Ann 'Vanderkirk and Rosanna Pringle, and I might ask Mra, Metepont, the old Judge's widow. Ana yes, there Is Sallie Briscome. Who would have thought handsome, witty, courted .Sallie would be spending her days in the Old Ladies' Home? Yes, yes, it will be like old times, indeed, to have Sallie—" "Have her where, grandma?" "You shall have a glimpse of the old- time life and manners, you shall see how grandmother was once regardea. They will all come—for the sake of old times, they will all come on my birth- day. I will send for Celia; she has cooked many a sur 'er for m► in years gone • by, and, I ,dare say, she is not too old to prepare one more. It shall be like the old times, the table shall groan—and I have two of Albert's checks untouched, and my own china and silver for the table. Hand me my pen, Willie, it has rolled under the chair. They will come, I know they will all come. And come they did, every one! Grandmother, in black st11t, with the daintiest of her caps upon her snowy fluffs of hair, and a pink flush on her faded cheeks, received them with the dignity born of her old-fashioned ideas of propriety. ? With her stateliest bow she welcomed the Judge's widow, whose handsome dress was covered with yards of price- less lace and whose handy sparklea with rings, while stout, comfortable Ro- sanna Pringle, her childhood playmate, now a great-grandmother, she met with outstretched hands. Then with a kiss on either withered cheek, she greeted dear little Hetty Ann Vanderkirk, almost as timid now as at 18, when she kept an assembled company awalting for dinner, standing meanwhile outside the drawing -room door, trembling, and almost in tears, afraid to enter until found there by the anxious hostess. The Governor bowed low over grana - mother's hand. "A more charming hostess, if possi- ble, madam, at 80 than at 20." And when all the guests had arrived, the Colonel, a little tottery, to be sure, but none the less gallant, -took Miss Sallie Briscome by the extreme tips of her fingers and led her to the piano, where, removing her mitts, she began In a fine, quavering high soprano to sing to them as she had sung half a century before, "I Cannot Dance To- night," "I'd Be a Butterfly." and "Love's Young Dreams." And being enoored again ad again, she gave them "Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt," and so laden with memories was Sweet Alice, that it left not a dry eye In the room. Nor would the evening have been complete had not E11hu Galleher arisen, and addressing grandmother, delivered himself of a poem in honor of the oc- casion, which in turn brought in sev- eral lines of a sonnet that he had tu- dited to her just 59 years before. Then grandmother, on the Govern- or's arm, led the way to supper, any there being a gentleman short, Mlsb Sallie Briscome smilingly accepted the arm which Willie, in imitation of the Governor, offered her. And the supper! The damask, the china, the silver,the quaint boat -shaped salt -cellars, them asstve candelabra, an were grandmother's own, and wan them each guest had past cause to be familiar. The table groaned, as grandmother had predicted, beneath the results of Celia's old-time ideas of hospitality. And when the Governor arose, an;: bowing to grandmother, said, "Mad- am, to us gathered here there is but one toast, "Tete Past," every eye was dim, and every wrinkled hand trem- bled as it lifted its cup. As the Last guest departed, Wiilie looked up into grandmother's happy face and said: "I like your kind best, grandma, for they don't treat a fellow as If he was always 1n the way, nor yet as if he wasn't there, which is worse." And grandma, understanding, smiled. Not the same day, nor even the same week, did they all see it, but eventually the newspaper containing the account of grandmother's "Centenarian Party" came to the hand and eye of each of her children and grandchildren. How the paper got hold of it no one knew, and so great was her horror of a woman's name appearing in print, that grandmother was never told of it. But, knowing Elihu Galieher'e fond- ness for "rushing Into print," he was given the credit, the more so that hie own picture, as well as the Governor's, graced the column, while creations of the artist, most probably, for they cer- tainly were not portraits of the origin- als, appeared as grandmother, the Judge's widow and Miss Sallie Br's - come. 'There was something very near to pathos," the article ended, "In the gathering of this group—the oldest 90, the youngest 79—all relics of the socie- ty of a past day and generation, in celebration of the 80th birthday of one, who, though surrounded by a large family of children and grandchildren, turned to the friends of the past, had shared its glories with her." Aunt Eleanor buried her face In the paper and cried: "We could have gone, Hartman, with such a little inconvenience; and how it must have hurt her!" Uncle Tom's eyes as well as Uncle Albert's grew misty as they read It, remembering the flimsiness of their excuses, and the gentleness of the old mother's replies. In the midst of a gay house -party the paper was shown to Merlon and Evelyn, and they felt keenly the re- buke in a companion's ,hasty exclama- tion : Your grandmother's 80th birthday! How could you bear to he away?" In a Pullman parlor car, miles from home, Mrs. Bethel read it, then gazers at the passing landscape with eyer that were strangely blurred, --/ex- change.

MISS ANNIE JOY, WEST TORONTO JUNCTION. A bright little lad, or golden -haired girl, is the delight of your home. Whether you revel in riches, or know something of the privations oif poverty, that child is all the world to you. It is no wonder that mother and father become anxious when sickness overtakes, the little one. The remedy, fathers and mothers, is near by. South Amerioan Nervine has been the meal, of giving back the bloom of pond/ to thousands of sufferutg little ones. It is not a medicine that buoys up the parents' hopes,only to have them instilled time dashed down again lower than ever. Whether with child or adult, it promptly gets at the seat of all disease, which is the nerve centres. From this fact it is peculiarly efficacious in the treatment of ner- vous diseases of man, woman or child. A recent case is that as told by Mrs. M. A. Joy, of West Toronto Junction, whose little daughter Annie, aged 15 years, had been a sufferer from severe nervous depres- sion for about two years. As with all mothers, no trouble and expense was spared in the effort to bring relief to the child. The little one suf- fered extreme pains in the head, so • distressing at times as to render her completely helpless, sapping all her. strength. The best skill of the most skilled physicians was called into request, but little Annie steadily grew worse. Becoming more hope- less and discouraged as the weeks went by, Mrn. Joy decided on trying South American Nervine as almost a last resort. Employing her own words she said : " I determined to give it a trial, although I felt it lee useless," To -day it is all happiness around that home, for before one bottle of the medicine had been taken, the mother tells Its Annie commenced to show decided signs 4,4improvenititit, The child has,taken three bottles and has practically regained her natural health and vigor. There is nothing rprising in the fact that Mrs. Joy cannot speak too highly of South American Nervine. Much was at stake, but this wonderful discovery proved equal to the emergency, and so it does in every case. Thousands of letters on file from well-known citizens prove this. For nervous diseases of young or old, from whatever cause, it is an ab- solutely infallible cure.
