ALPS for the Best,

Ais for the best; be sangune and cheerful;
Trouble and sorrow are friends in disguise;
Nothing but folly goes faithless and fearful;
Courage forever is happy and wise;
Ais for the best-if man would but know it;
Providence wishes US all to be blest;
This is no dream of the pundit or poet;
Heaven is gracious, and-all's for the best!
Ais for the best set this in your standard,
Soldier of sadness, or pilgrim Of love.
Who to the shores Of despair may have wandered
A way-wearied swallow, or heart-stricken dove
Ais for the best - be Man but confiding,
Providence tenderly governs the rest,
And the frail bark of His creature is guiding,
Wisely and warily, all for the best.
Ais for the best! then fling away terrors,
Meet all your fears and your foes in the van,
And in the midst of your dangers or errors,
Trust like child, while you strive like man;
Ais fot the best unbiased. unbounded
Providence reigns from the East to the West;
And by both wisdom and mercy surrounded,
Hope and be happy that all's for the best

Good News TO a st. Louis Mechanic.

A Mr. John C. Carey of our city. who has
for the pas, four or five years labored nces-
sanity at the carpenters business; and who has
never been able TO earn more than the necessi-
ties of life called for, received letter few
days since from Pennsylvania, containing the
Intelligence, that he was the only heir 10 an es-
tate, valued a, from 100000 10 S200,OOO
! Connected with the above trans action is
Bit of romance, which certainly deserves pub
licily. Thomas Carey, his father. left Ireland
for the United States, suddenly in the year
1881, leaving his wife and only son behind
Having a, his command small amount of
funds, and being a shrewd calculating man, he
had barely touched The port of New York, be-
fore he was trading and specializing
He continued in this business for some years,
all the time adding largely 10 his funds, until
he finally became one of the largest and most
extensive dealers in The city. Being now pre-
pared TO provide happy and permanent home
for his wife and son, he wrote for them: in the
meantime selecting beautiful estate in Penn
sylvania, on which TO settle them upon their
arrival in this country. He was answered by
the friends Of the family, to whom he also
wrote, that his wife had died, and that his son
had mysteriously disappeared. and was sup
posed 10 be in the United States. This well
nigh proved dealhblow to the old man, who
retired from business in New York, to his es-
tate in Pennsylvania AS 10 the Whereabouts
Of his son, he considered i! useless to make en-
Qury, as The Mexican war, or some of the wild
expeditions Of the past few years might have
found him grave.
Some time since, however, in looking over
the list of letters, in an old ST. Louis paper, he
noticed letter advertised for "John c. Carey"
He related the fact 10 his friends, who induced
him 10 ascertain if he were his long lost SON.
He wrote 10 ST. Louis, and enquired of John
his age, place of birth. &C., to all of which
questions he gave plain and explicit, answers.
and proved 10 The old mans satisfaction that
his son yet lived. Another letter from Penn
sylvania followed, the main item in which We
have stated above. The father is now about
,ixly-five years Of age-lhe son about twenty
hree. So soon as Mr.. Carey can settle his
BUSINESS in this cty-which will be in few
Iays-he will leave for his fortune in Pennsyl-
,ania.-St Louis New Era.

Extraordinary Case.

We find the following curious case described
in the Dresden (Tenn-) Advertiser OF the 9Th
May:
On Monday last a lady about 40 years of age,
presented herself 10 Dr. A. ID. Cutler, Of this
place, for advice and treatment. Her case is
strange and perplexing one. Language would
fail TO convey anything like an adequate idea
OF the suffering which she constantly endures.
She is reduced to mere Skeletons never
still; looks worn and haggard, and says she is
only kept alive by the pain and torment which
she endures. There is LIVE REPTILE or
something else Of similar character in her
stomach, and extending up into her throat near
ly 10 the roots OF her tongue. Externally, its
movements are seen perfectly plain, and by ap-
plying the hand 10 her throat or stomach, one
can feel It's motions distinctly, and cannot use
pressure enough with the hand to stop these
motions.
When she does not eat at her regular times
lis contorllons are much worse, almost past en-.
durance. When she attempts to eat, she can
pot use knife or fork ; she has to use her
hands TO cram the food into her throat, in
order TO SATISFY its craving voracity-aiter her
meals are over, she is troubled less with its
writings and coniortions for short time
She says she is always starving-seIdom or
never sleeps-she appears or The verge of
mania, and has convulsions at times. The
movements of this thing she describes worse
than the cutting Of knife.
By pressing down the back par, Of her tongue
so as 10 open The upper parl of the throat, a
portion OF the head of this thing has been dis
Iinclly seen. resembling in appearance The end
of the head of an eel. Many ladies' and gen.
rlemen of undoubted veracity all testify TO the
truth of these statements.
This lady says that some years ago, 10 TAX
ing drink Of water one night she felt some
live thing slip down her throat with the drink
Of water and after some time had elapsed, she
fell uneasy sensations in her stomach growing
gradually worse and worse. up to this time
lha, she had endured so great an amount of
suffering only since last September.

/ sic of that place.
Our singers are caution to all hearers not
10 lend their ears, which Anthony desired to
borrow Of the Romans. What they lack in
skill they make up in volume. This is espe-
cially true of our female socalis,s. Why, my
dear friend they scream. Having no taste to
discriminate in this matter, and unfortunately
The directions in their tune books being in an un-
known tongue, they attack psalm as fort to
be carried by storm. And they do carry it,
Evidently there is a strife among them who
shall sing the loudess and The palm is not YET
conferred. They are getting up concer, now
and perhaps the question will be decided when
that comes off. By the way, good story may
be told OF our choriser's attempt al improving
the psaImody as we'll as The music of our church
He Sc. some music Of his own to one Of The
psalms of Watts, very familiar psalm, in which
occur these lines:
oh may my heart in tune be found.
Like Davld's harp of solemn sound"
Calling on his pastor, who has more music
in him than you would think, the choris,er
asked his appreciation of new version of these
lines which would render them more readily
adapted 10 the music he had composed. He
suggested to read them as follows:
''Oh may my heart be tuned within,
Like David's sacred violn
The good pastor had some internal ienden
cies to laugh in the singing mans face but
maintaining his gravity as we'll as he could he
said lha, he thought he could improve the i'm
proved version, admirable as it was. The de-
lighted chorsier begged him to do so, and The
pastor, taking his pen, wroe before the eyes of
his innocent parishloner these lines:
8" may my heart 60 dddle diddle,
Like uncle David's sacred fiddle"
The poor leader, after vain attempt 10 de-
fend his own parody, retired and guess he
will sing the psalm i. stands.
