8 THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., JUNE 4, 1878. A Detroit Prodigal. The Detroit " Evening News" tolls this story : The roturn of the prodigal, or paraphrase tbereof, was enacted in a Prospect street household about tea days n?o. The story runs in this wise : Home seventeen years ago a widow named Tease, with one boy, married a widower named llerrititon, who had three sons by his first wife. Iler boy was a wild young lad, who frequently incurred the wrath of his step, father by his pranks, and drew down upon himself sundry well organized thrashings. One day, for a rather heinous ofler.se, he was promised a whaling of uuusual di mensions, to escape which he lied from the step-paternal roof. lie lost himself in the city, was picked up and pul in a cell by a city marshal, and, as he refused to tell his name and said he had no home, was sent to the 'Wayne coun ty poorbouse. There he gave his name as Johnny Fletcher. He ran away from the poorbouse once, but was recaptured thirty miles off and brought back. Mr. James Milton, a farmer of Howard, Out., visited the poorbouse a short time after he was brought back and relieved the couuty of the care of the lad, together with a little girl. He took them to his home iu Canada and brought them up as his own children. Mr. McLaren, a neighboring farmer,sub sequently took Johnuy whe,n nine years old and trained him in habits of industry and frugality. Johnny became a hard-working, honest, intelligent young man, and when his apprenticeship had expired worked five years longer with McLaren. He never re ferred to his childhood's history or sought in any way to unravel its mystery. A short time ago he went to work at Highgate for Fred. Atkinson, but, falling sick, came to Detroit. While in the city he made the ascent of the city hall tower. The contour of the city, of course, was eutirely strange to him after the changes of seventen years, ' but he recognized the Bishop school, which 1)0 had attended when a boy,nnd he felt an impulse- to go and see it again. He visited the building, aud memory re called the associations of home so vididly that he determined to seek his mother. After a good deal of iuquiry he found the Herriuton house, where his mother still lived, and on knocking at the door was ad mitted, and informed that Herrinton bon pere had died about bx weeks previously, and that his widow was ill in bed. Johnny, with some difficulty, obtained au interview. Herrinton had left several sous by a former wife, and they were trying to break the will of the deceased, which left a comfortable property to the widow and her daughter. The latter did not want to admit him at first, thinking he was, perhaps, a prying private detective in the employ of her brothers. , There wa3 a long talk. Mrs. Herrinton, in answer to a question, stated that a son of her's, by her first husband, Pease, had ran away from home to escape a licking ; that they had advertised for him every where, but had never heard tidings of him, and supposed he had drifted into the war and been killed. The reader may imagine the scene that ensued when Johnny dis covered himself as the long-lost boy. The (joy the mother experienced deprived the doctor of a patient, for it effected a com plete cure inside of two hours. There was a happy mother and son that night. Johnny has saved up some money, and is in tolerably good circumstances, Mrs. Herrinton and her daughter were very anxious, as they are in comfortable circumstances, to have Johnny stay and take up his abode with them, but he could not bring himself to do so at once. He has gone back to serve out his six months' en gagement with farmer Atkinson, at High gate. That term over, he will come back to his mother and help her fight out the contested will case with llerrinton's sons by his first wife. Practical Wisdom. An ancient adage says, " Iu time of peace prepare for war." Is it not equally wise to prepare for sickness in time of health? When anticipating a journey, guide books and maps are studiously ex amined and all possible information of the rout and country obtained. Yet many make the "journey of life" and through out the entire trip remain almost strangers to themselves, in profound ignorance of their abilities, and have no knowledge of the physiological laws that govern mind and matter. To such, life is like a boy handling au engine, he may have ascer tained how to start and stop it, but he knows not how to keep it in running order. The People's Common Sense Medical Ad viser, an illustrated work of over 000 pages, is designed by its author, as a pop ular hand-book of anatomy, physiology, hygiene, medicine and the most common diseases to which all are liable, and with which many are suffering. The work is re plete with sound, practical suggestions. Price, $1.50. Address the author, R. V. Pierce, M. D.f Buffalo, N. Y. UT A strange freak is that of a bird who has built ber nest on the top of the new bell suspended over the entrance to the New London Cedar Grove Cemetery. It sits upon a spot about a foot in width, in plain view from the road, whence it was witueased by stroller to that beautiful spot last Sunday. The bell is immovable, but the wondor is how the bird and its young can endure the din of the rattling tongue on the occasion of the funeral. For Severe Coughs and Lung Complaints. Canton, Pa., Nov. 29, 1873. Messrs. Beth V. Fowle & Sons, Boston : Gentlemen About ten years ago, after having had a severe attack of the measles, I was troubled with a severe cough and was threatened with consumption. My father having died at the age of 81 with consumption of the lungs, and my mint having been carried off with the same oom plalnt, it seems to be very hereditary in our family. At the time alluded to, I was in duced to buy a bottle of Dr. Wistar's Bal sam of Wild Cherry, and can say con scientiously, I believe it saved ray life. I was blacksmithing at the time, and often felt pains in my chest and lungs, which the Balsam relieved. I cheerfully give this statement and hope you may have success with so beneficial a preparation. Yours truly, A. J. Meruit. GO cents and $1 a bottle. Sold by all druggists.
