Uses Central Fire Metallic or Paper Cartridges
AT THE OPTION OF PURCHASERS!
1t has been four years before the public, and
its success is really remarkable. Its superiority
over all others, and the claims of the manufac-
turers, are well substantiated by the following
FACTS:
There are more Parker Guns in the hands of
American spoftmen than any Foreign breech-
loader.
There are three times as many Parker Guns iii
the hands of American sportlnen as there are OF
any other American made breeel-lOader.
At the Utica convention of the New York State
sportmen,s Association, the number of sports
men who used the Parker gun was equal to that
of all others who used central fire breech load
ers, of both American and Foreign make COM
bined.
While the Parker gun is so often reported as
distinguishing itself at large shoots throughout
the country, it is noticeable that few such rep0rts
are made Of amy other gun.
The lowest price Parker guns are within reach
of those of moderate means, while they are in
every way a thoroughly good gun.
The higher grade Parker guns are gotten up in
a style equaled by few, and excelled by none.
The most fastidious will lind them all that can
be desired.

TEE LITTLE ;LIGHTKEEPER.
az BIZ CHARLES s. SMITH.

az BIZ CHARLES s. SMITH.
HERE is the story Of little child
Who, with her father, lived beside the sea,--
On lone island from Whose rocks was piled
A sleepess sentinel, whose beaming eye
Watched through the night to warn of danger nigh.
One day her father who had gone ashore,
Failed with the early twilightto return;
And so she sat, and wondered more and more, E
Until the evening star began to burn, 4 ~ S
And thought, ''Our light should shed as true ray,
Lest ships should be misled and cast away"
And so she sat, perplsxed with anxious care,
And listened to the oceans restless moan;
"What can do I Indeed, Il cannot bear g4# -ses
Through ali the dreary night to stay alone;
Nay, not alone," she thought; and, undismayed,
The little creature then knelt down and prayed.
Then she arose, and with a trembling hand
Slow dragged a chair beneath the well-trimmed
light; 9WTTg o.. @EUYrEg. ST
Perched her Slight figure on the trusty stand,
And stretched on tiptoe to her utmost height,
And then reached up -alasl her heart grew sick;
The lighted paper did not reach The WICK.
Whatshould che do in this her hour of need? "a
Naught could she find to make the pile more
Till the Big big Bible, kept with careful heed. a
And read at night and morning, met her eye:
But still she paused; for, with a reverent dread,
Upon the Book of God she feared to tread. U
And yetshe thought, What if our light could
Some ship from wreck upon the rocky shore!"
And so, with resolution strong and brave, - Z
The heavy volume TO the pile she bore. Y ia
The deel was done; the lights benignant ray
Beamed o or the boiling breakers of the bay a. ,
Her father sat upon the shore meanwhile,
Detained by cruel wretches, who had planned
To keep the light untended, and begulle p E&AE
Some passing vessel on The rocky strand,
And, when the cries Of drowning men were Oer,
To steal the cargo as it washed ashore. T4-- F. u 81
And as they sat there, plotting evil schemes,
Hoping the midnight hour would bring them
luck,
True as a star the lights reproachful beams
Flashed DER the waters. Folled ana panic
struck, p
They rose together with a sudden start,
And grufly bade the keeper to depart n s9 ET 8
Soon DER the waves the little boat he steers,
It's white sail cleaning in that grateful light;
And now the strong mans eyes are fuil OF tears,
To see ofar that face, so wan and white,
Peering through darkness from the slippery rocks,
The night-dews falling ON her daxen locke. ~
Glad was the daughter when her father came;
Proud was the father as he kissed his child;
But when she asked, with blush Of bashful shame,
II her young feet the Bible had defled,
"No no." he said; there never is abuse
When sacred things are put to noble use."
And so he soothed her till her thoughts grew
calm,
And brought the Bible when she was in bed,
And read the glowing language of psalm
Until her heart grew warm and ComfOrted;
And listening to the roaring of the deep,
The little lighthouse keeper fell asleep.

Nh. B. WRITES to the st. Louis Re-
publican: "There are tragical, comical
and common place divorce suits, and the
following certainly is as comical as any
on record. A young couple ten years ago
agreed to disagree, and she OF the flrm
wentsWest 10 the Eldorado of discomfort
ed wives in those days, Chicago. Then
she commenced suit, but before 1t was
granted he went on, made up the peace
between them, and hand in hand they re.
turned. Before the year was out, how
ever, they quarreled again, and this time
| he didn't reach her quick enough; the

resided in Boston for five years. Then in

or personal in New York paper, cor

ture dreams, and found in him the Icha.
bod of her early days. They had lied, So
faithfully in their letters and SO unani-
mously that ne ither had discovered the
others identity. Whether the deception
had cast a new light on the subject, or
1 whether they were convinced that in all
the world they couldn't each find fool
/ like the other, at any rate once more they
1 mated. A second wedding and a second
hand honeymoon ensued. But the hus-
band speedily began to. rehearse to his
charmer what he considered her folly in
answering anonymous advertisements,
and, instead of retoriing, as she properly
could, to the anonymous advertiser, she
wept and he bullied, and on time dragged
till last summer, wien they separated,
and this spring suit for divorce was
commenced. The parties are both
wealthy; Mr.. - lives in fine style at
! an uptown hotel and attends to his law
business; Mrs. - stops with sister
in Brooklyn. -Four hearings in the suit
have taken place beore referee. AT the
close Of the fourth, ,behold the belligerent
pair went to DelmDnico's to lunch togeth-
er. The anxiety and excitement of the
lawyers were something dreadful to wit
ness. This case has SO much money in
| it, has already dagged its slow length
over so much tine, has so many beautiful
features, and pchaps that nightmare of
the legal profession, reconciliation, may
| step in and spoi all" - s-
