MRS, GRAMPTON’S EXPERIMENTS,

Seated in a luxurious ‘arm-chair ee- side a table on which were placed a | breakfast tray, Mrs. Crampton languid- ly partook of a slight breakfast. |

She wasa lady of stately appearance, | and dressed with faultless elegance. |

Everything around her indicated the,

presence of wealth, and the means of procuring luxuries.

Sreakfust over, Mrs. Crampton rang the bell, and a servant entered.

“William,” said the lady, “you may remove the breakfast service.”

The staid servant took the tray, and withdrew.

It may exciie Surprise that Mrs. Crain pton, surrounded as she appeared

to be by all that could impart happi- piness, yet was not happy. The taet is, she had no purpose or object in life. With no near relatives, and no Call for active exertion, her life was mono. tonousin the extreme. Every day was precisely alike. Her only friend indeed s2emed to be a favorite dog, who now stood beside her chair, looking wistfully at his inattentive mistress. After a while Mrs. Crampton took up the morning paper and glanced languidly ever the well-filled columns. Her eye

was at length attracted by the follow- ing paragraph :

‘There has not been for years so great destitution as during the present season. The amount of suffering ameng the poor is inconceivable. 1f our readers who are in the enjoyment of every luxury, wouid only visit some of the homes (if they deserve the name) which poverty has stripped of every comfort, they would be able to make many hearts glad, and draw down upon their heads the blessings of those ready to perish.’

Mrs. Crampton had read such para- graphs before, without special atten- tion, but this morning for some reason she read it over thoughtfally.

‘I wonder if it can really be true,’ she? said to herself, ‘or is it only a newspaper exaggeration? I have a great mind to go out and see for myself.’

As this thought came to her, her manner became more animated. The suggestion promised variety at last,and she determined to adopt it.

She rang for her maid, and at once es to go out.

‘ Do you wish the carriage, madam,’ inquired Celestine.

‘Not this morning. I shali walk.’

This announcement was_ received with some surprise—for walking was not usual with a languid lady.

«,When Mrs. Crampton reached the street, it occurred to her that she did not know where to go. Poverty was

brought her to a poor neighborhood. Looking about here with more than ordinary interest, her attention was drawn to a little girl of nine, scantly clad, who stood looking in at the win- dow of a baker, with eager wistful eyes.

She must be poor,’ thought Mrs. Crampton. . ‘I will speaic-to her.’

‘ Little girl,’ she said gently, ‘what is your name ?’

‘Jane Parish,’ answered the little girl, looking up. ,

‘You seom poor,’ said the lady.

‘Yes, ma’am, I am very poor.’

‘And hungry, perhaps. Isee you are looking at those cakes.’

‘7 have had no breakfast, ma’am.’

‘ Surely you are not so. poor as that. Have you no parents ?’

‘Yes, ma’am but my father has been out of work for two months, and -all that mother can carn by sewing goes to pay the rent.’

‘ Have you any brother or sister ?’

‘1 have a little brother of seven, and a litle sister of five.’

‘And did they have no breakfast either ?’

‘No, ma’am.’ .

Mrs Crampton was shocked, and pity arose in her heart.

‘Where do you live?

‘In C—— street.’

‘Ts it far from here ?’

‘ Not more than three mtnutes’ walk.’

She took out her purse, and placed a do}lax in the little girl’s hard.

‘Goin, and buy some bread and cakes,’ she said. «Then come out, and 1 will accompany you home.’

Jane took the money with eager joy, and hurried into the shop. She came out with hands full and ber face rad- iant with delight.

‘Mother, and litle brother and sister will be so glad,’ she said.

Mrs. Crampton’s heart warmed within her as she witnessed the pleas- ure which her small gift brou, *:t,and eae to accompany little J....c to

er doubtless miserable home. Before she reached she almost repented her determination, for the neghborhood into which she was introduced was far from pleasant or clean, and the tene- ment house, when she reached it, was squalid with poverty and neglect.

But the thought came to her, ‘If these people ean live here, I can at least make a short visit,’ and she walk- ed up the creaking stairs, with un- flinching determination. —

CATAR RH.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

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

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

Dear Srr—It is now two years since your “‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong te see if the cure 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 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. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I 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, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.

Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other.
