Physicians have long prescribed DR.. Graves

Heart Disease, for the simple reason that they
have seen its favorable workings in all the
many forms Of disease the Heart is liable to,
and it can truly be recommended as scien-
tific remedy for that dreaded of all diseases,
whose subtle workings are not usually seen
until the patient is beyond ordinary help.
Among the many forms of Heart Disease are
Palpitatiod, Enlargement, Spasms of the
Heart, Stoppage of the Action of the Heart,
Trembling all over and about the Heart 0s-
sifcation or Bony Formation of the Heart,
Rheumatism, General Debility and Sinking of

Shopping on the Sea.

People after a long sea-voyage are
naturally eager for fresh fruit. A lady
correspondent of the Adcdnce. who was
passenger on one of the Pacific mail
steamships, informs us how her desire
was gratifed while the vessel lay at an
Choir five miles off the little Mexican coast
town of Mazatlan. The natives came out
in boats, bringing tempting supplies of
the produce Of the country.
Here were huge clusters of bananas,
plucked freshly from the tall palms which
we could see quite plainly on the land,
of most exquisite flavor; pine pples,such
as can only be ripened under warm
mellow, tropical sun; lir:es of pleasant
aciditv, suggestive of cool lemonade;
oranges. too large to hold comfortably in
your hand, unless it be a large one, and
eocoanuts melons and mangoes IN album
dance.
That is what the merchants offered us.
Now how dill we buy theml
The distance between us was about the
same that it would be if we had been
standing at the upper window at an or
binary two-storied house. and the boat
man on the ground, and there was such
a clamor of voices of men and women call
ing their wares and their prices, that It was
quite deafening at first.
But when trade had fairly begun, It
was quite easy and pleasant, and certain
lv ii was a novel way of doing shopping.
Suppose we wished some bananas. We
look about until we find man who has
fine. ripe ones, attract his attention, as
Won would that of horse-car driver, and
call out, "bananas here;' and he answers
in queer Mexican fashion, "Ba-nan-a,
yes.n
"How mueh."
aOne bunch-ffteen cents.
@You send them up"
Then he puts his fruit IN q light wicker
basket or Irvine bag, to the handle OF
which long rope is attatched, and throws
one end Of the rope to us. II we were
skillful enough, we may catch 1t the flrst
time, but probably not, for the distance Is
considerable, and it Otter becomes quite
exciting to watch the attempts OF pur-
chasers to get their goods.
/ One Young lady Of our party nearly ieil
overheard when reaching for the rope.
But when it IS once secured We gen5iy
draw up the bag or basket. take out the
fruit and put in the money, and toss =
down into the boat quite carefully, iest
/ the money Should be lost.

curious necklaces which the women nave
to sell. If 30, we shall do we'll TO wait

Although he was Speaker Of the house
at the time, Blain didn't know that silver
had been demonetized. He didn't know
anything at all about the bill, he says
Other members Of that Congress confess
an equal ignorance; they heard the bill
read and voted on it, but they had no
idea what they were about, it is an inter-
esting illustration of the way in which
public business is sometimes transacted
in this country.

THE NEW CHURCH DOCTRINE,
BY WILL CARLETON.

There's come singular doctrine, Sue.
Into our church to-day;
These GURUS words are what the rev
Young preacher had to say:
That literal everlastin' fire
Was mostly in our eye;
mat sinners, dead, il they desire,
Can get another try
he doubted if warmer cline
-, Than this world could be proved;
The little snip-I fear some time
He'll get his doubts removed
I've watched my duty, straight am true,
An tried to do it well;
Part o. the time kept heaven in view,
An part steered clear o. hell;
An now, half O. this work is naught,
If must list to him.
An this ere devil have fought
Was only just within;
Vain arc the dangers have braved,
The sacrifice they cost;
For what fun is it to be saved
If no one else is lost?
Just Think Suppose when once | view
The heaven I've toiled to win,
A lot of unsaved sinners, too,
Comes walkin grandly ini
And acts to home, same as if they
Had read their titles clear,
An looks ut me, as if TO say
We're glad to see you hereP'
As if to say, "While goa have been
So fast to toe the mark,
We waited till it rained, and thcn
Got tickets for the ark"
Ye there would be some in that crowd
j rather like to see:
My boy Jack-it must be allowed,
There was no worse than he
I've always felt somewhat 10 blame,
In several different ways,
That he lay down on thorns o shame
To end his bOyhoOd's days,
An I'd be willing to endure,
If that the Lord thought best,
\ minutes quite hoUtemperature,
To clasp him to my breast
Old Captain Barnes was evils SON
With heterod0Xy crammed;
used TO think he'd be the one
II any one was damned;
still when ] saw a lot o. poor
That he had clothed am fed,
Cry desolately round his door
The momeat he was dead,
There came thought douldn't control
That in some neutral land
I'd like to meet that scorched-up soul
An shake it by the hand.
Poor jennie Willis, with a cry
VI hopeless, sau distress,
Sank sudden down, one night, to die,
All in her ballroom dress;
She had precious little while
To pack up an away;
She even left her sweet, good smile
Twas on her face next day;
Her soul went off unclothcd by even
One stitch Of saving grace;
How could she hope to go to heaven
An start from such place?
But once when | lay sick an weak,
She came and begged to stay;
She kissed my faded, wrinkled check
She soOthed my pain away;
She brought me sweet bouquets of flowers
As fresh as her young heart
Through many long and tedious hours
She played a Christian part;
An ere | long will stand aroun'
The singin' saints among,
Hll try 20 take some water down,
To cool poor Jennic's tongue.
But tears can never quench my creed,
Nor smooth Gods righteous frOwn,
Though all the preachers learn to read
Their Bibles upside down
l hold mine right side up with care,
To shield my eyes from sin,
An coax the Lord, with daily prayer,
To call poor wanderers in;
But if the sinners won't draw nigh,
An take salvatiOn's plan,
I've had to stand an see 'cm try
To dodge hell, if they can.
