CARD.

There are times In the lives Of indi-
,yiduals as well a communities, over
which hang more of uncertainty, and
perhaps sudden death, than would seem
to at others, at least, to the limited dis
cernment of weak humanity.
Whether it be that portion Of the race
Just entered upon, or that carrying on
the active duties of life, or still again,
that part just about to lay them aside
forever, each are exposed to peculiar and
oftentimes unlocked for dangers. Such
a time has, even now, come upon this
nation and this people. The "ilthe
ones'' have always to run a gauntlet Of
ills before they arrive at mans estate,
but now that the country has need of de-
tenders, those who had escaped the ills
of childhood are exposed TO new dangers
the terrors of the battlefield or the
insidious diseases of the hospital and
camp. Even to those who pursue the
peaceful pursuits of home, danger comes
in the shape of an explosion, a collision,
a runaway, or some sudden disease, and
so, seven in the midst of life, we are in
death"
Now, the moral of all this, land it
should be pondered WE'LL is that neith-
er the young, matured or aged, none
who have friends to love them and mourn
for them when dead, should suffer an
other day to pass carlessly by without Sc
curing If il has not already been done
good, faithfu i licensees, IN some form or
other, either by the portrait. painter or
the photographs.
There are some now busily preparing
for a season, with its pleasures at the
seaside, or some far off fashionable
city, without a thought of danger, when
perhaps, there is not in existence a shGd-
0w of some beloved face in the family cir
Gle to remind them Of its brightness
that face that one moments sudden ca
Iamity might hide away from their sight
forever!
How many are thus procrastinating
and putting on THIS sacred duty, Tor
trlHlng excuse, that shall one day prove
a source Of the most poignant regret
Scarce a day passes that some one IN
deep affection does not come to me With
"If | had one of your photographs of my
wife as she was IN life, | should prize it
above any earthly treasure" or 'if we
only had some kind of a picture of our
little one just gone to heaven, it would
be an inexpresSible source of comic I t.
us,"-and SO on, indefinitely.
Good Pictures cost Something but when
tried in The way that tests their true val.
We, money becomes as ashes in compa5i-
son.
