WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT,
Interesting Account of His Baptism
at Naples.
NtW IUTk Evening Post. =

In seconding the resolutions which
were adopted by the Massachusetts,
historical society on the occasion of
Mr.. Bryants death, the Rev. Robert G.
Waterson paid an eloquent tribute to
the genius and character of the poet,
recounting many incidents which had
occurred during the speakers long
intimacy with Mr.. Bryant. The adj
dress, together with an appendix, is
now published in pamphlet form, en-
titled Tribute to William Cullen
Bryant" Mr.. Waterson has recounted
many incidents, small in themselves,
but worthy in theii significance as illus
trations of Mr.. Bryant's character and
habits. He enjoyed Mr.. Bryant S
friendship and was with him frequently
at Cummington and Roslyn, and in
Europe. Among the interesting mat
tiers in the address is the account of
Mr.. Bryant's baptism, of which we be-
lieve the public have never before
heard. 1t was at Naples, and Mr..
Waterson says:
Anxiously watching as he had been
doing, in that twilight boundary be-
tween this world and another, over one
more precious to him than life itself,
the divine truths and promises had
come home to his mind with new
force. He stated that he had never
united himself with the church, which,
with his present feelings, he would most
gladly do. He then asked if it would
be agreeable to me to come to his
room on the morrow and administer
the communion, adding that, as he had
not been baptized, he desired that ordi-
nance at the same time. The follow
ing day was the Sabbath, and most
heavenly day. In the fulfllment of
his wishes, in his own quiet room, a
company of seven persons celebrated
the Lords supper. With hymns, Sc
lections from the Scripture and de-
votional exercises, we went back in
thought to the large upper room
where Christ first instituted the holy
supper in the midst of his disciples.
Previous to the breaking Of the bread
William Cullen Bryant was baptized.
With snowwhite head and flowing
beard, he stood like one of the ancient
prophets, and perhaps never since the
age of the apostles has a truer disciple
protested allegiance to the Divine
Master"

THE YOUNG MAN FROM THE
COUNTRY.
How He Gave Up His Seat in Bob-tai
Car to Charming Young Lady, and
the Fatal BIunder He Made AfterWard.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Sa1 FTdHClSCo NHIOuICIt.
On Sunday afternoon a bob-tail car of
the City" Line, going Missionward,
was crowded. The seats were all taken.
and many were standing; still, every
now and then the car would stop to
take an additional passenger. A pretty
and fashionabley attired young lady
boarded the conveyance, but she looked
just a little disappointed on discover
ing that she could get no further than a
few feet from the rear door, and would
be compelled to stand. Grasping
hand strap, she threw wistful glance
around her. One Of the occupants of
the seats was young man from the
interior, and he surrendered his seat
to the last arrival. Smilingly she &C
cepted his offer and the gentleman
took up his station near the front door.
An instant after she had settled herself
In her seat and shaken out the folds of
her elegant dress, she took halfdime
| from her purse and passed it to the
young man that he might drop it into
the fare-box. He however, was not
versed In the practices of METROPOLITAN
street-railways, his own fare having been
paid by city friend who was with him.
Thinking the money was offered him
as the price of his seat, he quietly put
it in his pocket, unobserved by the
lady, but to the great amusement of
those of the passengers who witnessed
the transfer. Conscious that fare was
lacking, the lynx-eyed driver, after ring
ing the box-bell several times to no eff
feet, opened the door and demanded
the missing ticket or a half-dime. A
malicious urchin, on mischief intent,
spoke out and accused the unconscious
countryman of stealing the money
given him by ladies to put into the
box. This so exasperated the now be-
wildered youth that he at once knocked
down the impairment speaker. The
boys mother nervous dame of so
years, swooned away; a timid citizen by
her side blew a police whistle; the
driver stopped the car. A scene of
wild tumult and confusion ensued until
the arrival of an officer, who was about
to take the rustic into custody, when
the young lady who had been the in
direct cause of all the trouble made an
explanation, the countryman made an
apology, the saucy lad recovered, the
nervous mother was conveyed to an
adjecent drug store, the timid gentle
man alighted, the officer disappeared,
and the car resumed its way as though
nothing had happened.

of the real nature of the disease. II

Persons suffering from q mere in1t1ol-
nation Of the hing tissue are doubtless
often completely restored by brlei
residence in Colorado or Florida. But
when scrofulous matter has begun to
accumulate in the lungs, no climate,
however healthful, can alone effect a
cure. A thorough course of medical
treatment is required, aided by s1ch
hygienic measures as the condition OF
the patient willpermit. The scrofulous
matter must be absorbed and not ex-
PEELED from the system by the use OF
efficient alternatives. DR.. Pierce's Gold

Alternative, and, added by the Pleasant

agent for expelling scrofulous matter
from the lungs and system. DIR. Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, n. T., offers
special advantages to this class of pa
tients. The best methods of medical
and hygienic treatment are there pur-
sued, besides the locality is one of the
few which enjoys special immunity
from this disease.

REVOLUTION IN THE PIANO TRADr
The MendelSsohn Piano comnanv of
New York, whose card appears in an
other page of this paper have created .
revolution in the piano trade. This
firm stands alone among the first class
makers of pianos in their determination
to sell their instruments direct to tho
people, without the intervention of
agents, and thus give purchasers the
benefit of the various commissions and
profits heretofore made by agents. By
this means all who order direct of the
Mendelssohn Piano Co. get instruments
that heretofore cost from $500 to $1,000
for from 1925 to S400, a saving of over
one hundrd per cent. to the purchaser.
The company is regularly Incorporated
under the laws of the state of New
York, aud composed of eminent Piano
manufacturers, with the express object
of selling Pianos direct to the people at
Factory Prices without the intervention
of agents or dealers, thereby saving
them more than One-haH the prices
usually charged.

The Physiology Of The Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ in the
human body, and the bile which it secretes is
more liable to vtiation and instruction from its
proper channels than any other of the animal
fluids. Luckily for the bilious, however, there is
an unfaflng source of relief from liver complaint
namely, Hosteuter's Stomach Bitters, medicine
which for over d quarter of a century has been
achieving thorough cures of the above mentioned
ailments, fever and ague, dyspepsia bowel COM
plants, rheumatic and kidney affections and dis
orders involving loss of nervous vigor. 1t Is.
moreover, preventive of malarial disease, and
affords protection to thousands OF persons resld-
ing in districts of country where that dire scourge
is prevalent AS a remedy adapted to the medi-
cinal requirements of families, 1t ie supremacy
desirable, and as means of fortifying deblli.
tated system, it is thoroughly to be depended
upon.

ARE THE CHILDREN AT HOMEp

Each day, when the glow of su~set
Fades in the western SKY,
And the wee ones, tired or playing,
Go tripping lightly by,
I steal away from my husband,
Asleep in his eaSy-cha;r,
And watch from the open doorway
Their faces fresh 3ld fair.
Alone in the dear old homestead
That once was fall of life,
Ringing with girlish laughter,
Eohoing boyish strife,
WetWo are waiting together;
And oft as the shadows come,
With tremulOuS voice he calls me,
1T is night! are the children at homer"
Yes, loye!' 1 answered him gently,
They're all home long ego!"
And | sing n my quivering treble,
A song so soft and low,
Till the old man drops to slumber,
With his head upon his hapd,
And 1 tell to myself the number
At home in better land.
Home. where never a sorrow
shall dim their eyes with tears,
Where the smile of God is on them
Through all the Summer years,
know; yet my arms are empty
That fondly folded seven,
And the mother heart within me
Is almost starved for heaven.
Sometimes in the dusk of evening,
l only shut my eyes,
And the children are all about me,
A vision from the skies;
The babes whose dimpled fingers,
Lost the way to my breast,
AND the beautiful ones, the angels,
Passed to the world of the blest.
A breath, and the vision is lifted
Away on wings of light,
And again we two are together,
All alone in the night.
They tell me his mind is falling,
But l smile at idle fears;
He is only b. ok with the children,
In the dear and peaceful years.
And still, as the Summer sunset
Fades aw ay in the west,
And the wee ones, tired Of playing,
Go rrooping home to rest,
Ny husband calls from his corner,
Say, Lowell have the children Gomez
And answer, with eyes uplifted,
Yes, dear! they are all at home"
