The fin«â€"noual standing of the Kirchâ€" en Blatts, the principal organ of the Luthersn Synod of Canads, was anâ€" pounced to be all right, but it was resolved that all those who are two years in arrears be reminded of the same and urged to pay up. A motion that the paper appear in amaller form was lost, as was one to empower the treasurer to borrow $1,500 to defray expenses. It wus resolved that the editor and treasurer each receive $40 a year. * A.resolution was p.ssed that the English portion of the Synod be allotâ€" ted some time for the Englishfinterests of the Syuod. My uucle, Sir Charles Weatheringay, 1 was an old gentleman who owned a large estate in Berkshire, and was very | much respected by the people of his neighborhood. He was kind and inâ€" du‘gent to his tenants, many of whom would sacrifice their lives at any time to be of service to bim. The country geotry for miles around were on the most intimate terms with him, and all spoke of him in praise. There was one man, however, for whom my uncle bad a decided antiâ€" E'ihy. That was the Rev. B. H. dwell, who occupied the glebe lands adjoining my uncle‘s estate. They had been friends for a number of years, but quarrelled at last over sone trivial matâ€" ter, and it made my uncle bis enemy for life. Uncle was a good man in most respects, but he bad this one failâ€" ingâ€"if he once took a dislike to a man he never forgot it; and on this occasion his first impulee drove nim to seek reâ€" venge upon Reyerend Mr. ‘Ctldwel.l. _ At this tu'no. in Rogland, sectarianâ€" ism was very much looked down upon by the Episcopal churcbh, o!:t! ‘u_u... Rev. Mr. Caldwell was a rigid Episâ€" copalian, my uncle‘s plan of annoyance was a terrible trial to the venerable gentleman who bhad been his family mipister for twenty years. The Episcopal church was within fifty yards of my uncle‘s estate, and was the ounly place of worship the family had ever attended, therefore it was a serious affair to be at enmity with the rector,. But uncle was equal to the orcasion. He invited several prominent Methodist ministers to come on a visit, and, very much to their surprise,ofered to give them the ground on which to build a large church Of course this piece of magnanimity was eagerly accepted, and drew down upon bis head the everlasting thaoks of the whole denominvation. The work was commenced at once, and was soon comâ€" pleted, under the care of the newlyâ€" made couvert, who took particular pains to have the building erected in fuil view of the Episcopalian rectory. Little did the Methodista know with what malignant satisfaction the proâ€" jector of this scheme gloated over the success of the plot and the terrible anguish of spirit that the Rev. Mr. Caldwell suffered then and during the remainder of bis life. A brilliant young minister was duly installed in the new cburch, and soon became the spiritual light of thedistrict over which he presided, He was a bright, bandsome young man, and had the good fortune to be unmarried. This made bim a general favorite at my uncie‘s house, for reasons which will appear presently. _ _ _ _ ~___ _ _My uncle had a family of six‘ childâ€" ren, three of whom were daughtérm, The youngest was by far the most beautiful, and was her father‘s favgrite, a fact which he took special care to show; but she inherited a strong will aud, notwithstanding my uncle‘s ioÂ¥ve ITER $PpITTEN,. for her, he had serious misgivings that she would bring disgrace upon herself and ber fennly. The young Methodist minister was pot slow to perce‘ve the difference beâ€" tween Maud and ber sisters: but ‘alâ€" though be couldn‘t help seeing th«t either Grace or Laura bad the advantâ€" age of being more refined and better in dispoâ€"ition, yet Maud inspired a love in bis breast stronger thar he had ever felt. for any other womau. Little by little this acquaintance beâ€" tween the Rev. Jobhn Young and Muud ripened and grew into an intense mutâ€" ual love. But the coarse of true love never did ran smoothly, and the present case was no exception to the general rule, [ ‘ F P . A W slsn oed for Maud was already betrothed to one of the wealthiest young men in Berkâ€" whire. This arrangemeut was made by the psrents of both, and in Eoglaud, amovg rich families, disobedience to perental authority means something serious, so dear little Maud had trou ble in anticipation if she fayored Mr. Young‘s suit. . Young was very diplomotic,however, and he contrived to make love to Maud in a way that completely buffled father and sisters, «nd be continued to visit the house and retein the friendship of the whole family under a cloak of relâ€" igion which passed as an excuse IOT All his actions. Everything _ seem . to favor? the lovers for a time, but & scene took place one morsiny before Maud and her father which threatened to mar the pleasure of ber futafe weetings with Mr. Young. ‘My dear, it is now time for you to name some definite time for your wed ging,‘ her f1ither said in a very conxing tone. Maud was puzzled, but was too wise to say or do anything that would give the old gentleman room for suspicion, so she feigned surprise, and answered: ‘Oh, dear papa, do not press the watter so soon; you know I am too young to be married, and it would only be an act of justice to let me wait, at least s‘x months, before placing me at the head of a house, with all the cares and troublea.of a wife to bear,‘ ‘Humbug! Cares and troubles! A sensible woman should never talk in that way, Your mother was married when she was eighteen, anod never reâ€" gretted it,I fiatter myseif. Now, Maud, this is all nonsense for you to desire further delay, Charles has been quit« wnxious of late, and he vows that be won‘t wait any longer.‘ *Well, dear pspn? if you are in such a burry to get rid of me,I must submit; but you must give me a month, for you know it will take all of that time to get my wedding dresses made.‘ _ .-:Aâ€"!;, that‘s better. You are a dear, sensible girl,and you shall have a whole montb, whether Charles .likt‘l it or not.‘ _ And with aâ€"parting kiss, father and daugbter separated, each apparently satisGed. " es 4. As soon as Maud found berself in ber own roum and the door sarefully locked, she indulged in a fit of crying. She felt as if the time had already come when she must separate from her beart‘s choice and marry a man for whom she had no love. 0 [ ‘What is to be done?‘ she asked herâ€" self over and over again, but in her grief sbe could see nothing but darkres and wisery. | Cl At last a faint bope broke in upon her troubled mindâ€"she would see her lover, and tell him all that had passed between herself and her father. Hope seemed to tell her that the object of her choice would be able to suggest a remâ€" edy from the impending doom. The meeting between the lovers that afternoon must bave been satisfactory, for Maud returned to her father‘s house quite flushed, and evidently happy. She did not appear at the breazkfast table next morning, and her maid, beâ€" ing sent to look for her mistress,returnâ€" ed with the awful intelligence thn‘ Maud was not to be found, The room was untensanted,and the bed was made up as the maid had left it the evening previous. * My uncle was almost frantic upon hearing this intelligence and rushed madly upstairs with a vain hope of finding some clue to the mystery. But, alas! it was too trueâ€"Maud was gone. Where, how, or when, no one in the bouse could tell, for she was seen goung to her room the night before, and furâ€" ther than this was not known. I presume the reader has already guessed the ttuth concerning Maud‘s disappearance from her father‘s home. she had eloped with her lover, and was married when they reached London. As soon as my uncle discovered the whole facts of the case, his rage knew no bounds. He went about like a madâ€" man, threatening vengence upon the "Scoundrel" who thus thwarted his hopes and disgraced his family name. He swore that Maud should never inâ€" herit a pensy of his property or set foot in bis bouse again. Beeds of revenge which be had sown by building the Methodist Church had now grown into a rich harvest for bis neighbor,the Reverend R. H. Caldwell. But whatever this pious old gentleman thought on the subject be had the good taste to keep it to himself, and did not mf\nx make use of it to return a evil. ‘The biter bitten,‘ was evikfor evil. ‘The biter bitten,‘ was all he was heard to remark when be learned the truth of What had befallen my uncle.. _ C * Waterloo County Chronicle, Thursday, June 25, 1896 rage ricbiAbviintctesidn Aistinate which passed as an excuse for all Years of sorrow brought the old foan to his deith:bed, and it was only then vhat he wade amends for the part.

Oneday, however, while attending his work, be got wet, took a chill and a severe cold followed, which finally developed to asthma. Darâ€" ing the succeeding nine years he was a terrible sufferer from that distressing disease and gradually grew so bad that be could not work, frequently spent aleepless nights, and had little or no apprtite. ‘Finally he could ecarcely | walk across the room without pantin for Freath, and would sit all day vltg his elbows resting on his kneesâ€"the only position which seemed to give him eise, and at one time he never laid down for six weeks, As it was a bardâ€" ship for him to taik,all he asked was to ‘be let alone. During this time he had been doctoring aod had tried nearly everything, and spent over $100, but got no relief, Fiually some one reâ€" commended him to take Pink Pills, He thought they could do him no harm at any rate, and procuring a supply he commenced taking them. After he had l taken three boxes he found that he was improving, and after taking two more boxes, to the astonishment of all, he walked across the field to the woods and cut up a onrd of wood,. He conâ€" tinued the pills and took two more boxes, making seven in all, and toâ€"day is as well as be ever was, but always keeps a box of Pink Pills in the house. The neighbors all began to ask him what be bad doue, as the asthma had left him, and they never expected to bear of him being well again.
