I suffered with diarrhuitt for a long
time and thought 1 was past being
cured. I had spent much time and
money and suffered so mucli misery
that 1 had almost decided to give up
all hopes of recovery and await the
result, but noticing the udvertisment
of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy and also some testimonials
stating how some wonderful cures
had been wrought by this remedy, I
decided to try it. After u few doses
1 was entirely well of that trouble,
and I wish to say further to my read

WEEDS.
We ctll them weeds, the while, with slender An
gers,
Earth's wounds and scars they seek to cover
o’er.
On sterile sands, where scarce the raindrop lin
gers,
They grow and blossom by the briny shore.
We call them weeds. Did we their form but
study
We many a secret might unfolded And.
kadi tiny plant fulfills its heaven taught miiuion
And bears the impicss of immortal mind.
We call them weeds, the while 'heir uses hidden
Might work a nation’s weal, nation's woe,
Send thro* each wasted frame the balui of heal
ing
And cause the blood with youth's quick pulse to
low.
Weeds, yet they hold in bonds the mighty ocean.
Th 'ir slender threads bind firm the sandy shore.
Navies may sink amid its wild commotion;
These humble weeds ne’er their work give o’er.
And who shall say the feeblest thought avails not
To bind the shifting sands upon life’s beach?
Some heart may treasure what we’ve long forgot,
The faintest word some soul with power may
reach.

The great battle of Torgau was at its
height. The air was thick with hot,
stilling smoke, and the cannonade
made the very earth tremble ns col
umn after column of blue coated Prus
sian soldiers came sweeping forth
from the wood that sheltered them
from the llaming mouths of 400 cannon
which thundered incessantly against
the wood held by the Prussians and
against every living tiling that issued
from it.
Twice the assailants had forced their
way through the pelting shot, and
twice they had been driven hack with
severe loss after a desperate conflict..
In the mad hurly burly and confusion
of that terrible struggle the two armies
had got so completely mingled together
that not a few Prussian and Austrian
regiments had fairly changed places,
and when the third attack began it
was no easy matter for the Prussian
column of assault to make out where
the key of the enemy's position lay
or which way they must turn in order
to strike it.
But just then appeared out of the
thick of tlie smoke a small, lean, sick
ly looking old man, in a soiled and
threadbare uniform, at the sight of
whom and at tlie sound of the few
short, clear orders that ho uttered
everything seemed to arrange itself at
once as if by magic. And well might
it be so; for this queer little fellow was
no other than the King of Prussia him
self, Frederick tlie Great, who had al
ready sent is name throughout the
whole world as the greatest soldier of
his time.
.hist then, however, a body of Aus
trian grenadiers showed themselves
through the rolling smoke at a short
distance and began to pour a heavy
lire of musketry upon the Prussians
and their leader. Two men fell wound
ed beside the king, and his own sleeve
was torn by a bullet.
“Your majesty is in danger here,”
said a Prussian offleer, saluting 1dm
respectfully. “Will you not be pleased
to move farther back7“
Frederick was just about to refuse,
for he cared little what risk he ran pro
vided his presence •could do anything
to turn the fortune of the battle. But
before he had time to speak the officer
(who had placed himself in front of tlie
king, apparently to shield him from tlie
flying bullets with ills own hotly) fell
to tlie ground as if struck by lightning.
Frederick stooped over him with a
look of concern, for he saw that tlie
breast of the fallen man's uniform hud
been pierced by a bullet and naturally
concluded that he must be either killed
or mortally wounded. But, to his no
small amazement, the supposed dead
man suddenly rose from the earth, to
all appearances quite uninjured, and
took out of his clothes a flattened mus
ket ball, which bad been stopped by
the metal cover of a miniature that he
wore in Ids breast.
"I shall keep tlds,” said he, holding
out the shapeless piece of lead, “In re
membrance of your majesty.”
“You shall have something better
than that to remember me by, my
brave fellow,” answered tlie king kind
ly. “You have saved my life, and you
shall not (ind me ungrateful. What is
your name?”
The officer told it.. Frederick repeat
ed it twice to himself, ns if to ffx it
more surely iu his memory, and then he
said:
“Very good; I will not forgot you. If
we botli live through this night’s work,
you shall l)e promoted. And uow let
each of us go to his duty.”
And on the following morning, when
the battle was won and the Austrian
army in full retreat, King Frederick
made good his promise.
But, unhappily, the brave officer’s
good fortune went no further than tlds.
Two years later the war came to an
end, and Frederick, with ills treasury
empty and bis whole kingdom lying
wasted and ruined nrouud him, was
fain to detote every penny that he
could raise to the putting of matters to
rights again.
As a matter of course everv branch
of public expenditure hnd to be cut
down to the very lowest point. Among
other economies the army was reduced
by a good many thousand men, and
tlie sudden disbanding of so many reg
iments at once was a heavy blow to
hundreds of officers who unexpectedly
found themselves cast upon the world
lu tlielr old age with no occupation, no
money In their pockets and no visible
way of getting any.
^Among the countless sufferers by this
measure was p«K)r Major Tapfermann,
the hero of Torgau, wlto, with three
wounds, chronic rheumatism and al
most as little money as he hud ten
years before, found It no easy matter
to ‘‘make both ends meet.”
One by one he hnd to part with all
tin* little kulekkuuelts which he hud
treasured up so long—the silver mount
ed pistols presented to him by Junior
officers of his regiment, tin* lleldglnss
Which lie had used during Ids last cum-
imlgu and tlie ivory handled hunting
knife which laid been given to him by
an Austrian prisoner to whom he hud
shouu some kiuducus. Even his watch
had to be sold at last. But, although
in tlds sore strait, he could not bring
himself to part with the chain which
had been a gift to him from ids wife
not long before her death.
There was still, however, one hope
left for tlie poor old man. King Fred
erick was uow buck again in Ids palace
at Botsdum, near Berlin; and, having
by tlds time begun to get tin* affairs of
ids kingdom into some sort of order
again, he was not so overwhelmingly
busy as he had boon before. Borhnps
some help might be got from 1dm, and,
at all events, it was worth while to
try.
Tnpformatin’s lirst idea was to draw
up a memorial stating his case and
send it to Frederick himself; but he
then remembered that it would have to
pass through several hands before
reaching the king and might possibly
never reach him at all. In any case
he could not afford to wait long for an
answer, being almost down to his last
penny as it was, so lie Anally determin
ed to present himself at the palace and
see what would become of it.
The very next morning, accordingly,
the major smartened up his worn and
faded uniform as well as he could, and
concealed tlie absence of Ids watch by
fixing tlie chain in its usual place ami
keeping it there by attaching to one
end of it thqgtnemorahle “flattened bul
let” of Torgau, which he had preserved
as a souvenir ever since. Then, tak
ing his stick in his hand, he set out for
Botsdum.
lie had to do tlie whole nine miles on
foot, the hire of a horse being far be
yond his means, poor fellow, and when
he readied the palace lie was heated
and covered with dust and altogether
a very strange ligure to appear at a
king's levee, as the scornful glances of
the smart officials plainly told him.
Among these there was one mean
and malicious follow, Hugo von Wake-
uitz by name, who held the post of
chamberlain of the palace, and, being
mortally jealous of every one whom
the king seemed inclined to favor, and
more especially of Frederick’s old offi
cers, always did his best to keep them
away from the royal presence. It hap
pened by ill luck that just as Major
Tafpermann opened ids uniform to ad
just his chain (which he had got out of
place in the course of this long march),
the chamberlain, looking down from
one of the windows, saw what he was
atiout.
The courtier’s quick eye detected at
a glance that the chain had a bullet in
stead of a watch attached to it, and, far
from pitying the old warrior’s poverty,
as any true man would have done, this
spiteful rogue at once resolved to get
rid of him by putting him to open
shame before the whole assembled
company.
And it really seemed as if circum
stances themselves hud conspired to
aid Ids cruel project, for when the king
made his appearance his lirst remark
was:
“My watch must surely be wrong, for
I hud no idea that it was anywhere
near my hour for receiving visitors.
Wukenitz, what says your watch 7”
“Most unfortunately, your majesty,
mine has just stopped,” answered the
chamberlain. “But I see tins worthy
officer here (glancing at Major Tnpfer-
inuuu) lias brought ids along with him,
and lie will doubtless be able to tell
your majesty the true hour.”
The spiteful tone and look of the
speaker did not escape the shrewd
king; but, before he could make any
comment, the stout old major, drawing
himself up proudly, answered Freder
ick’s inquiring glance by holding up
the useless watch chain and tlie flat
tened musket ball which hung to it so
that every one could see them.
At the sight of the flattened bullet
and the sound of the old warrior’s
voice the recollection of ids rescuer on
the field of Torgau flashed back upon
the king’s memory in a moment, and
one glance at the brave old man’s
threadbare dress and at tlie malicious
grin upon the face of the chamberlain
sufficed to tell him the whole story.
“Here is a watch for you, my old
comrade, which will tell you the right
time,” said Frederick, taking off his
own watch and handing it to the ma
jor, “and that you may have a chance
of using it in my service I give you a
place In my household from this day
forth, and as for you, you rascal,” he
added, casting a terrible look at the
discomfited chamberlain, “since you
are mean enough to Insult an old man
who lias fought bravely for ids king
and country, get out of my sight, and
never show your face here again!”—
