Miss Outten is possess- ed a keen intelligence and eugaging manners, and has been peculiarly suc- cessful in her chosen profession. At preseet she looks the Isadore of bealth and one olsserving her good color and buoyant spirits, would never think of aesoelating her with sickness. It was, however, only last, autumn that she was almost bopeless of continuing in her work ou account of her M-healtle, and her condition was a source ot alarm to her friends. "Yes," sbe said to an Acadian reporter who called up- on her recently to learn tbe partieulare Qt bee case.

I was in- formed that 1 was suffering from eamensia, and I at ouce put myself un- der medical treatment. But although I tried several bottles a proscriptions, may condition seemed to he gettieg worse all the tiroe. Vhen I went home for Christome vacation, I was almost in despair. It was while I was at home, however, that my friends ad- vised me to use Dr. Williams* Pink Pills. Acting upon their advice, I took up their use. The first box znade its effect felt, but I used four or five aud then the cure was complete.

S. S. t The Mystery Explained, 0014$4Oiettenedieteedi 1; edit : it hereto 1. It was the day before quarter -day when my cousin Peter Post came into the oMce, threadbare and shabby as usual, with the nap worn off his hat, his garments threadbare with much wear and excessive bruebing, and a pair of fingerless glom; upon hie bands. I cannot my that I was glad to see him My cousin Peter Post was ono of thoeo luckless Mime who are al- ways losing property, making unfortu- nate investments, and borrowing sma'.1 sums of money which are to be repaid without fail at the expiration of pre- cisely one week from the date of the loan. But be was a good sort of fel- low, too, in his way. He bad made a love match with a pretty blue eyed girl without a penny, and had balf-a- dozen children, and how they lived no- body knew, "Going to move next quarter, Ja• cob?" said he beamingly. "I suppose so," said I. "So am I," said Peter. "Itent's get- ting too high—landlady has raised it —all that sort of thing. So we're go- ing to No. 11 Smith street." flocked hard at Peter Post and made no remark. Wa,s he going to ask me to lend him five pounds, or to demand that I should become security for his rent? I resolved in my innermost mind tosay "No" to either proposition at once. "And, as we're pretty low for furni- ture," said Peter, "it occurred to my mind that perhaps you'd send us any old odds and ends that you've no par- ticular use for. Ohildren's cribs, chairs, tables, washtubs—anything, in fact!" with a comprebensive wave of the hand which seemed to embrace the whole subject. "Peter Pont," said I wrathfully, "do you think I've nothing to do but to buy furniture to give away?" "Any old thing, you know," inter- posed my cousin, with imperturbable good humor. "We aren't particular." "I shall do nothing of the sort," said I. "I have no 'old things.' My furni- ture is all substantial and excellent--" "Wish mine was!" interjected Peter, rubbing the palms of his fingerless gloves together briskly. "And I do not propose to part with it. So I wish you a Very good morn- ing." You aren't angry, I hope," said Pe- ter. "Good morning," I repeated frigidly; and just theh my clerk came in to tell me that the van driver was waiting outside for orders as to the moving ceremonial of the morrow. I went honse after business hours and told my wife about it. "l'in sorry, Jacob," said she, a slight shadow coming over her face. ."SorTyl" I echoed. "Because, dear, there are plenty of little odds and ends we could have spared just as well as not," •said my wife. "Furniture does accumulate so when °el° has been keeping house a long time; and I do feel so sorry for that poor little Nelly Post, with her flocic of children." "I don't," I resolutely aezerted. "As seoiple make their fate, to. they must put up with it. And I've no patience at all with Post," "He has had very bad hick through fife, clear," pleaded my wife. "Your path has been in the sunshine; his has lain in the shadow. We ought not to be hard upon each other in this world, Jacob." "That's all nonsense," Said I stoutly. But I won't deny that iny conscience did prick and sting me when I looked round at my own abundance orf stuffed easy chairs, Brussels carpets and springy ehintz lounges, ready peeked for transportation, and thought of Poor Post and his six little Posts, with, their humble plea for a few sticks of cast- off furniture.

"J. asked the van driver," she said; "and he said Mr. Jacob Goldleaf had sent him; and he showed me a card with `No. 11 Smith street" written on it in your own handwriting." This then explained the mystery. in my angry preoccupation of the day be- fore I bad written the address of the house which ray cousin Peter Post had told me he was about to move into, in- stead of my own! My wife leaked at me with spar▪ kling eyes of love and admiration. "Dear Jacob," said she, "I 'knew—I knew you could be noble and magnan- imous when you chose!"
