Among the Dead Failures

Of the past, how many bogus nostrums may b. numbered! Beginning their careers with tremendous flourish of trumpets, blazoned for time i'll the public prints and on flaming posters, soon, but not too soon, were they re- legated to the limbo of things lost on earth. But Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters is a living and thriving remedy. It goes on curing and to cure. Neither underhand nor open competition affect it. On the contrary, contrast with inferior rival preparations only increases ;es.popular- ity. It has been repea.sd)y initiated, but without success. Cor.Iterfeits of it have been surreptitiously introduced, but have fallen flat. Everywhere it it entrenches itself in the confidence of the people; and we'll it may, for ic is a thoroughly reliable invigorant of the feeble, banishes dyspepsia and consti- patton, braces the nerves, cures rheu- matic ailments and kidney complaints, and eradicates and prevents intermit- tent and remittent levers.

lCommunicated.l Little Things.

A few little words unguardedly spoken, The strongest of human ties have broken Should loves golden chain be thus
 lightly river? No, bitterest words might be forgiven. A toss of the head, significant glance Has probed far deeper than the most
 cruel lance; While wounds in the flesh may be
 easily cured, Pangs of the spirit are longer endured. Just few little hints at what met the
 sight, Sadly flecked the pictures beautiful
 light Till disfigured it grew and deepened in
 shade And threw back on you the shadow
 there made. A few little steps taken in the wrong
 way, Have led the noblest of beings astray; Some kindly influence may turn them
 around, And you with an immortal star be
 crowned. Covetous desires in the soul were
 wrought, And a birth-right rich for one morsel
 was bought; How many like Esau so recreant prove, They barter their title to the world
 above. This life is a summary of little things, Written moment by moment on times swift wings; Our actions, and words-even our
 thoughts to be Read in an unerring eternity.

| Bible every idle moment and learn oi Christ, for if we read the Bible at idle times we would find something perhaps that we never saw before. For if we study the Bible we are sure to find something new everytime we read it. The Bible is the true way that leads to the salvation cf souls. The Bible is the light by which christians are led. The Bible tells us of the home beyond the skies, where all is joy and love and peace, where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are never feared nor felt; t is always one bright summer, and there sorrows never come, for the Lord reigns forever there. The Bi- ble tells us that there is broad road that leads to everlasting de- struction; also that there is a mar row path that leads to heaven be- yond the skies, where the weary are at rest. o, how many are travelling in that beautiful path that Christ traveled2 Are there as many as are in the broad road that leads to hell? o, no, I fear not. Dear friends the Saviour is standing wait ing to see if yov won't return, for the blessed Saviour is wishing for you to come back. He says there is more rcjoicidg over one sinner that re- pents, than over ninety and nlne that needs no repentance. So sinners do return and see the Savior's bleeding hand and heart, so that he may re- joice. Only think of the awful place you are going to, and surely you will return. For Christ says ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and ye shall find; knock ard it .shall be opened unto you, for my yoke is easy and my burden light. He does not say come tomorrow, but come now at thls time, for we know not what a day may bring forth. o, how great the Bible is. What has the Bible done. It has saved thousands from the place of torment, and may save many more. Take away the word of God and this world would be a place of torment, for people would not care what they said or done. Some people have no Bible. o, how I wish everybody in this wide world had a Bible, for only think what the Bible says; it says, many are called but few are chosen, also, many shall strive to enter in at the straight gate and shall not be able. The Bible is made for the purpose of saving souls; it is the on- 1 lybook that has the exact truth in it.; of all books it is the best. It ismore precious than the finest gold. Al ways be prepared to die, for we know not what time will be ours. But some of us may not be prepared atall for many are called but few chosen. Only think that we will all be judged by the deeds done in our bodies. We will have to give a strict account before God when the last day shall come, and the world shall be in a flame, and all things be burnt up, and 8 new earth and new heaven created. For everyday brings us nearer to the last day. Oh, must I before judge ment be brought before the face of God for many will say to the rocks and mountains fall upon me and hide me from the face of the almigh- ty, for no man knoweth what day or night the end will come.
 Dear friends 1 could write twenty pages more, but perhaps you are tired, so l will close.
