A Dead Hope.
BY T. T. CORBETT.


| awakened so early this morning,
For hope sparng up in my heart,
And | dreamed of it's sweet fullfilment
Before the day should depart.
And ever, as fitted the morning,
My hope still brighter grew,
Till smiling, | said: "The noontide
Shall make this sweet hope true"
And still, though the shadow heightened
My hope cast out all fear;
So whispered low: In the twilight
/ shall find it. this hope so DEAR"
But swiftly the twilight faded,
And ere knew of it's flight
My hope lay, pallid and lifeless,
In the gloom of starless night.
Now watch my dead hope, weeping,
Yet know Git had happened before)
That with the dawn of the morrow
My hope will be living once more

Where Does 1t ALI Come From.

Pints and quarts of filthy Catarrhal
discharges Where does it all come from
The mucous membrane which lines the
chambers of the nose, and it's little glands,
are diseased, SO that they draw from the
blood its liquid, and exposure to the air
changes it into corruption. This Ife-liquid
is needed to build up the system, but it is
extracted, and the system is weakened by
the loss. To cure, gain flesh and strength
by using DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery, which also acts directly upon these
glands, correcting them, and apply DR..
Sages Catarrh Remedy with DR.. Pierce's
Nasal Douche, the only method of reaching
the upper cavities. where the discharge ac-
cumulates and comes from The instru-
ment and both medicines sold by druggists
and dealers in medicines. Com,

rFrom the Boston Advertiser.

THE ATTACK UPON Mr.. BLAINE
Professional destroyers of the regulations OF
public men will be both amused and vexed at the
laundering ipcspacity of one of their apprentices
who has undertaken the job of breaking down the
character of Mr.. Blaine. We do not forget that
|. there are many men-aDd newspapers-that neve
wait even to hear the end of the charges, much
less listen to the other side, before stopping their
ears and shouting guilty.
This story about Mr.. Blaine, however, does not
have even the merit of being we'll invented. An
analysis of it would at once expose its improbable
ity. AT a meeting of the directors Of great
railroad, one of the members of the board asks
where sum of money has gone, and offers reso-
luton of inquiry. The outside public believes
that the directors of corporations have right to
examine the books of their trcasurers, even if
stockholders have not. But in this case we are
asked to believe that the treasurer begged the i'm
pertinent director to withdraw his resolution, be-
cause it would impcate Mr. Blaine. Then, did
not the answer itself implicate himi Was not
the harm all done which Mr.. Rollins is asserted to
have deprecated? Did Lot the director make
himself an accomplish in corrupt transaction by
keeping silence Do the directors of the Pacific
Railroad publish the disposition they make of
their money! Does the company permit the
treasurer or anybody else to expend sums of S64,
600 without a vote Of the directors! The neces
sary answers to these questions show the improba-
bty of the story as it was first told.
But the inventor Numbered again when he per-
mtted the knowledge of the charge he was about
to bring to leak out in advance. Mr.. Blaine was
thereby enabled to pronounce the story untrue,
and to bring the proofs of its falsty at the same
time that the "thunderbolt' was discharged. We
do ,otk hnuu tho ha m m.
phatc or the proof that the story was untrue more
complete. Probably Mr.. Blaine did not expect to
escape from such charges as this which comes
from Indianapolis. Certainly none of his friends
could have expected it for him. But the skilled
deracors have not yet made ready for the assault.
They will not attack him with story easy to be
disposed of as this one. They bring charges that
are difficult to dsprove."
