NED ALVORD'S TRIAL.

eee

‘Well, V'll give you a trial, Ned. Come back to-morrow, and we'll see what you are good for.’

‘Thank you, Mr. Erless. Til do my very vest to please you ;’ and touching his hat, Ned Alvord waiked off with a quick, light step.

A youth about eighteen, very seedy as to clothes, but witha resolute mouth and frank, gray eyes, which somchow conveyed to you the idea of strong will, and cheerful energy; such was Ned Alvord.

‘Is it possible, Erless, that you are going to take Jim Aivord’s son into your store?’ said a friend, who was standing near.

‘And why not?’ said the merchant, pleasantly. ‘ Every one dings in my ear that the boy's father was a drunken vagabond, whom deati only saved from the penitentiary, and that the eldest brother would be there now if he had his deserts, The fact is, the lad has a feeble mother, and she has two small children beside him to support, and 1 don’t see why, because of the rascality ef two members of the family, the others should be left to starve.’

‘I don’t mean that,’ said Mr. Pres- cott, ‘but it seems to me you run arisk in taking the boy into your store. I believe that evil tendencies are trans- mitted from father to son, and will de- velop under temptation. This boy has had the same surroundings, the same training, as his brothers, and why should he be different ?’

‘Tle is different, at all eveuts,’ said Mr. Erless. ‘I’ve watched him and I believe he has the making of an honest, capable man in him. His mother is a good woman, though weak. Ned is head, hands and everything else to her. I shall try him.’

Mr. Prescott shrugged his shoulders, and walked off, thinking, most likely, that his friend Erless was very foolish. He was nota hard-hearted man, nor had he any personal il] will against the boy, but he was one of those who think that children are very apt to inherit the good or evil qualities of their parents,

Ned hurried home witha light heart.

‘At last, I’ve got a place, mother, and who do you think it’s with?’ he cried. ‘ Mr. Erless who keeps the largest store in Covington. I’m to begin at the bottom of the ladder as errand-boy. But Pll work up, see if I don’t: Isn’t it a streak of good luck for us, mother ?’

Mrs. Alvord was a thin, worn-out looking woman, with a nervous man- ner, and eyes full of care and trouble. The news was certainly cheerful, but a life of misery seems to unfit the mind to realize in a moment any favorable change in its conditions.

‘{ suppose it is, Ned,’ she answered, in 2 hesitating manner. ‘ But every one is going to watch you, expecting that you will do something wrong. I suppose they should not be blamed, though.’

‘It’s cruel; it’s unjust !’ out, passionately.

‘It is hard and cruel,’ his mother answered; ‘ but I ought to rejoice that at last you have an opportunity of lifting some of the disgrace from your name. Ah, my good boy, If every one knew you as I do.’

She laid her hands caressingly on his head, and the two children climbed up on his knees. It was a poor little home but it was a very bright one that night. Mother and son sat up until late, dis- cussing the possibilities which might grow out of this first glimpse of'a better day.

Perhaps my readers may smile that to much was made ef this little gleam of fortune. But they must remember that a minute point of light is unutter- able joy to a poor wretch who is lost and groping in a dark cavern.

Bright and early the next day, Ned entered upon bis new duties. He was quick to learn, and so active and willing that at the end of the month Mr. Erless in paying him his small wages, addeda few kind words of commendation.

The months passed on, and the boy grew steadily in the favor of his em- ployer, until no one in the establish- ment was more trusted than himself. He kept the keys of the store «+ © ne of the clorks slept in the buil.: mid it was his duty to sweep it ove. . be ning before sunrise.

One night he returned home flushed and excited.

Ned eried

‘ Mr. Erless has raised my : cried. ‘ Now Lean r aS thie ho - repair this house and we will all be so comfortable and happy! Why, what’s the matter mother? you look wretchedly.’

os noticed her hands clasping and unclasping in nervous agitation; her old movement in her days of trouble ‘ ’ He’s come back,’ she whispered looking ‘oward an inner room.

To he continued,

The liver is the imperial organ of the | ‘whole human system, as it controls the life, | health and happiness of man. When It 1s) disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of

ailments are the natural result. The di- | gestion of food, the movements of the h arty and blood, the action of the brain and ner: | vous system, are all immediately connected | with the workings of the liver. It has been } successfully proved that Green's August

Flower is unequalled in curing all persons | afflicted with dyspepsia or liver complaint, | and all the numerous symptoms that result | from an unhealthy condition of the liver} and stomach. Sample bottles to try, 10] cents. Positively sold in all towns on the} Western Continent. Three doses will prove that it is just what you want.

CATA RRE. Constitutional Uatarrh Remedy

CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harprne, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Sir—It is now two years since your ‘“‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ong to see if the eyre would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true,”’ I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My -health and spirits were seriously affected. YVhen your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had! used a quarter of the contents of one bottle [ found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Mei‘hodist Minister.
