“I would, indeed, smilingly replied the Jawyer, "were not my first name Adam !".

FOR HIM TOO.

A churchman tolls about time he was travelling through the country with an evangelist. At a villago in Ohio a meeting was held at which an announcement was made that the proceeds of a collection to be taken would be turned over to a missionary fund.

In the audienco was a man who was publicly known to oppose foreign missions, and who was also suspected of being an agnostic of the deepest dye. The church- man in the course of the collection passed this man the box. The other pushed it away with a sneer on his face. A sudden inspi- ration came to the churchman, and, thrust- ing the box under the fellow's nose, he said:

"Hero take some-it's for the heathen."

In consequence of liver disorders I began to loathe my food. I became so weak that it was labour for me to stand up, and my face became disfigured with dark red spots as large as a sixpence. I had no life in me; my blood seemed to have tured, into water, and the colour of my skin was almost green. Indeed I was more dead. than alive.

Work was out of the question, and my face became so bad with the blotches that I was ashamed to go into the street. The languor was so over-powering and the shortness of breath so distressing that I thought the end must be very near.
