HAvE now been before the public for nearly a
IL year. They are universally pronounced the
neatsst and best fitting collars extant.
The upper edge presents perfect curve free from
the angles noticed in all other collars.
The crayat causes no Fuckers on the inside fthe
rundown collar.-they are AS SMOOTH INSIDE
AS OUrSIDE,-and therefore perfectly free and
easy to the neck.
The Garotte Collar has a smooth and evenly I'm
ished edge on BOTH SIDES.
These Collars are not simply fiat pieces of paper
cut in the form of a collar but are NODDED AND
sHAPEo TO FIT THE NECK
They are made in Novelty" Tor turn-down styeIn
every half size from IL to IL inches, and In Eureha
Tor Garotte,l from 10 10 IL inches; and packed in
solid size in neat blue cartons, containing 100
each; also in smaller of 10 each.-the latter
very handy package for Travellers, Army and Navy
Officers.
v- EVERY COLLAR is stamped "GRAY's

$50 much gone! | might have know
how it would bev' said Mr. Sterlin :
looking up from a morning paper, with
a most unpleasant expression on his face
"What has gone ?" asked his wife.
"My money is gone," answered Mr.
Sterling, fretfully.
"What Money? ?"
"That money [ was foolish enough tc
lend Mr.. Granger"
"Why do you say that?"
Giles dead" replied Mr. Sterling
ooldly.
"Deadi" The wife's voice was full Of
surprise aud pain. Sorrow overshadowed
her face.
"Yes, gone, and my money with him
Here's notice of his death. Twas sure
when | saw him go away that he'd never
come back except in his coffin. Why
will doctors send their patients from
home to die 2"
"Poor Mrs Granger! Poor little or.
phans!' sighed Mrs. Sterling. "What
will they do?
"IAs well without him as with him. D
was the unfeeling answer of her husband,
who was only thinking of the three hun
dred dollars he had been over persuaded
to loan the sick clergyman, in order that
he might go South during the Winter
"He's been more of burden than sup.
port to them these two years."
"Oh, Harveyl How can you speak
so ?" demonstrated Mrs. Sterling. ga
kinder man in his family was never seen.
Poor Mrs. Granger! She will be heart
broken"
"Kinduess is cheap and easily dis.
pensed," coldly replied Mr.. Sterling
"He would have been of more use to his
family if he had fed and clothed them
better. | reckon they can do without
him. IF I had my three hundred dollars,
| wouldn't"
But he checked for shame-not for
any better feeling-the almost brutal
words his heart sent up to his tongue.
Not many hundred yards away from
Mr.. Sterling's handsome residence stood
a small, plain cottage, with a garden in
front neatly laid out in boarded
walks and filed with shrubbery. A hon.
ey-suckle, twined with a running rose
bush, covered the lattlced portico, and
looked in at the chamber windows giving
beauty and sweetness
The hand of taste was seen everywhere
not lavish, but discriminate taste. Two
years before there was not a happier
home than this in all the pleasant town
OF C. Now the shadow of death
was upon it.

Then he thrust back upon her the

Then he thrust back upon her the
twenty dollars she had just paid him.
"No Mr. Sterling" the widow said.
at shall be as [ will" was the re.
sponse. 81 would rather touch fire than
your money. Every dollar would burn
upon my conscience like living Goals"
"But keep the last payment" urged
the widow, II shall feel better"
"No, Madame! Would you throw fire
upon my conscience Your husbands S
honor never had stain. All men knew
him to be pure and upright. When God
took him, He assumed his earthly debts,
and did not leave upon you the heavy
burden of their payment. Blu! he left
upon you another and most sacred obliga-
tion which you have overlooked in part. "
"What?" asked the widow, in an al
most startled voice.
"To minister to the wants of your chill
dren; whom you have pinched and de-
MED In their tender years--givin5 their
meat to cancel an obligation which death
paid. And you have mada me a party
in the wrong to them. All, Madam !"
Mr.. Sterling's voice softened, "if we
could all see the right at the right time,
and do right at the right time, how much
of wrong and suffering might be saved !.
| honor your true hearted self-devotion !;
but l shall be no party to its continuance
As it is, am your debtor in the sum of
fifty dollars, and will repay it in my own
way and time"
Under Providence, this circumstance
was the means of breaking the hard crust
of self5hness and cupidity which had
formed around his heart He was not
only generous to the widow in after years,
but doer of many deeds of kindness and
humanity to which he had been in other
times stranger.

NOTHING rs LOST.


Nothing is lost, the drop of dew
That trembles on the leaf or flower,
Is but exhumed to fall anew
In summers thunder shower
Perchance to shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at full of day
Perchance tc sparkle in the flow,
Of fountains far away.
Naught lost, for even the finest seed,
By wild birds borne, on breezes blown,
Finds something suited to its need,
Wherein It's sown and grown
Perchance finds sustenance and soil
In some remote and desert place,
Or mid the crowded homes of toll
Sheds usefulness and grace.
The little drift of common dust,
By the March winds disturbed and tossed,
Though scattered by the ftful gust,
Is changed but never lost;
1t yet may bear some sturdy stem
Some proud oak battling with the blast,
Or crown with verduous diadem
Some ruin of the past.
The furnace quenched, the fame put out,
Still cling to earth or soar in air,
Transformed, ditfused, and blown about,
To burn again elsewhere,
Haply to make the beacon blaze
That CLEANS athwart the briny waste,
Or light the social lamp, whose rays
Illnme the home of taste.
The touching tones Of minstrel art,
The breathing Of some mournful flute,
oh h., ~ I -,
Are not extinct when mute
The language Of some household song:
The perfume of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense, belong
To memory's after-hour.
So with our words, or harsh, or kind,
Uttered, they are not all forgot,
But leave some trace upon the mind,
Pass on, but perish not
AS they are spoken, so they fall
Upon the spirit spoken to;
Scorch it like drops of burning gall,
Or soothe like honey dew.
So with our deeds, for good or i'll
They have their power, scarce understood,
Then let US use our better will
To make them rife with good;
Like circles on a lake they go,
Riug within ring, and never stay;
Oh that our deeds were fashioned so
That they might bless alway!
Then, since these lesser things neer die,
But work beyond our poor control,
Say, shall that suppliant for the sky
The greater human soul?
All, no it still will spurn the past,
And search the future for its rest,
Joyfll if it he found at last,
'Mong the redeemed and blest.
