Cured by Faith.
The most remarkable instance of,
the ac beng Wealed by faith, we
have ever known, occurred in this
cogiry ecently. It iq qo remark
agle that it msy be calle4 a1zost a
p'ecl(, although thi days of inir
&Ieon are past. And we *ould
esitlte to give the following re
port, knowing the incredulity of
the puplic on this snjeot, of this
regar* le cure it Itwas not
wel a entic ed, and .e ac
kwak hundelIs by *hom the
6tiftement can be authenticated.
Mrs. Wimpey, wife of Col. John
A. Wimpey, of Norcross, lias been
qfflicted for twenty .year4 A' great
4i pbrtion of this time she has
been eonfined to her bed, and una
ble to walk a step. Even in her
better moments she was only able
,to wak 4cros tho room support
ed bysine :assistant. She is an
-estimeifl woman and bore'her af
flictions with rare christian forti
tude, hardly hoping that she would
ever be well again. She has lived
in Dahlonega,4tlaAta, and for sev
.eral years in Norcross, and has
tried all the remedies known to
medical science for relief, in vain.
Neither a chango of atmosphere,
the healing waters of mineral
springs, or learning #ad '.experi
ence of the professorscotrld bring
any relief, and she was regarded
iby all her acquaintances as incur
able.
During the recent District meet
ing at Norcross, there was a re
markable revival in progress. This
good woman felt a deep interest in
the great work, but was debarred
in the priviege of an active partici
)ation in it by her afflictions. One
morning she was assisted into the
parlor by her husband, and the
family leaving her alone repaired
to church. Left alone to her pri
vate devotions, she suddenly felt
her strength returning, and with
out doubting that her prayers had
at last been answered, she got up
-and walked across*the room. Fill
ed with rejoicing .at her sudden
cure, she hastily dressed for
church, and taking her Ril11e in
her hand, hurried on to the House
of G-od, where the eongregation
'was assembled.
Before she arrived at the door
she was recognized and .the rnews
spread rapidly thvough the con
gregation. The services were sus
pended and her husband and some
of her friends'hurried out to meet
hier, whirle others sat still in blank
astenishment. On she came, re
fusing aill assistance to mount the
steps, she eintered the church and
wralked q>p to the alter, where she
exhorted ~tlhe peeciibe with great
~power and eloquence. Such a
scene has hecardly been witnessed
ain this genearation.
THow this wonderfid cur'e was
,effected remains a mysbery tto the
people and yrobably to her. "[
~was once blind but now I see,'
said one of old, who~m the Savior
had healed, and she can say "I
was once sick but am new well,'
anid the healing came as auiddenly
as a diash of 'light.
And her cur~e is plermanent. She
now attends to her hous~ehold af
f airs, . Visits her neighbois, waits
Upon the' sick arid i regular at;
tendant at churoh 'and Sunday
School.
Like many otl rs, 1we have not
ha4 miq ronftIA.e In thes9 mi
racklos cuted by faith and pray
ei, of' which we read hi. s6me of
the religious journals, but here is
a well defined caseo that was uot
the work of human agency, but
was a remarkable manifestation of
the interposition of Providence,
that sets at naught the theories of
hrin.
Adam's Advantages.
Adam missed a good many ver
ations of spirits that are common
to a man of this day.
Adam never had to try to main
tain a $5,000 apearance on $700

ian who was trying to learn to
play on an accordoon.

in time to see the rear end of the
rear car disappear around the wa
ter tank.

die while Eve ran across the street,
to borrow a cup of sugar from a
neighbor.
Adam never had his only pair
of gum shoes eaten ip by a dog
while he was spending an evening')
with a friend.
Adam never had to keep the ba
by while Eve went out with a de
termined cast. of coi ntenance to re
form the world.
Adam never sat up till 5 o'clock
in the morning to get the returns
from Ohio, and to at last learn that
the other fellows had carried it.
Adam never came home at a very
late h)our from the bhdge to discov
er that he had left his latch key in
a ,pocket of his other pair of pants.
Adam never had a tight bureau
drawer, of which he was tugging,
come out suddenly and set htim
down with such vehemence as to
kumock four square feet of p'laster
ing off the ceiling.
Adam never went down town~
trying to remember an injunction
to get a . was hboard, a .pound of
soap, a ball of tape, a bottile of in
fant food, a spoeil of garnet sewing
silk, a paper of hair-pins, two yar'ds
of pink, -mosquito netting and a
mnouset rap.
"How ?do you prononce s-t--i-n
g-y?" asked the teadher of the
dunee of the class. The boy re
plied: "It depends a .groat deal
on whether the wor d .refers to .a
person or a bee."
--Women ornament their d tess
es behind because they like to have
nine things said about. them when
their backs are turned.
