News Through a KnVt- Hole.

Mrs. Jenkins lived in the other part of
Rev. Mr.. Capers' house, and thought her
self fortunate in the enjoyment OF so great
a privilege. Most good people like to be
as near minister as they can. Mrs. Jen-
klns did. Fer part was merely an L.,
built on the main structure. Her little
attic. therefore, was neighbor to the min.
ister's study. Just in the corner of the
minister's study floor was a knot-hole,
a trifing sort of a thing In itself; but
when once found to open INTO Mrs. Jen-
kins' attic, of the widest importance in its
consequences.
When Mrs. Jenkins sfnalIy1 became
aware of ~soclose connection with the
minister family; she sat down to fold her
hands and congratulate herself. Next
she formed her resolution not to let any
good opportunity slip unimproved to in.
form herself of matters that would other
wise remain dark to her. Day after, day
therefore, her ear and that knot-hole re
newed their acquaintance with one an
other. Sometimes she picked up quite {
little bunch of news, and sometimes she

veil which covers the future is woven by

that veil, lest the prospect that hope now

darkness of unwelcome certainty.

of education are the exceptions. Com

The End.

The course of the weaFiest river
Ends i'll the great gray sea;
The acorn, forever and ever, III
Strives upward to the tree.
The rainbow, the sky adjoining,
Shines promise through the storm;
The glimmering of the coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form,
| By time all knots are riven,
Complex although they be,
And peace will at last be given,
Dear, both to you and me.
Then, though the path may be dreary,
Look onward to the goal;
Though the heart and the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul,
Seek the right, though the wrong be tempt
ing;
Speak truth at any cost;
Vain is all weak eXempting
When once the gem is lost.
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain and ambushed foes;
| Thought earnest and fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining s...
| Bnt with evening comes the light;
| Through the dark are low winds complain
ing,
Yet the sunrise glides the height;
| And love has hidden treasure
For the patient and pure;
| And time gives its fullest measure
| To the workers who endure;
! And the word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
| For we know that when we "aWaken"
| We shall be satisfied"

brought back just such intelligence as he

ADVICE 30 COMsu Im pIaVes. sH
The celebrated physician, DIR. Paul Mime.
er, gives the following valuable suggestion
TO persons suffering from lung affections:
" The patient must with scrupulous conscien-
tlousness insist upon breathing fresh,pure air,
and must remember that the air of closed
rooms is always more or less bad. y =
NO man, however uncleanly, would drink
muddy, dirty water. A party which occupies
a room for hours, breathing the same air,
might be compared to a party of bathers
drinking the water in which they battle. The
patient must keep the window Of his bedroom
open. Night air is fresh air without daylight
In close, crowded looms, the patient suffer-
ing from lung complaints breathes consump-
lively" BY taking these precautions and us
ing DIR. PIerce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully one-half of
the cases of lung complaints would be cured
in six months. For cough and irritation of
the lungs do rot always indicate the presence
OF consumption although it may result in that
disease, andif consumption Observation-Disclosures

Two Blue Eyes.

A little heart long years ago,
They seem so long
Though are but few;
For years are long
When life is new,
And hearts untried .w.# .. *
By love untrue
\ little heart, so young and strong,
Took up the burden of song,
The echo of name,
So dear that years cannot undo
The love it learned in singing you, 1.
0 sweetest name of names.
o dear blue eyes, your tender light
Peered love into a little heart,
And it began little song,
Your name, 0, dear, it will repeat, "
And ever, ever will vibI ate,
Till Time will make it cold and still
We were not friends, we never spoke,
Your name was all knew-and look
But your blue eyes looked into mine
My lips breathed forth your darling name
The little heart took up the strain
And never will be still again.
0 dear, blue eyes, you wandered far
Away from home and me, ..... -
Though for long years thou vert not seen
Though years and ocean rolled between
The little still heart meier forgot
But murmdred s. DIT IN Joyous tones,
A name which now it always means
In sad sweet music still.
Eyes, D eyes, returned at last,
0 dearest, bluest eyes of blue,
Have other hearts a charm for you?
Place you no value on the one,
The little one you first have won?
For from my heart as far you seem,
As, when the ocean rolled between.
o, blue eyes, why looked you so
In the days so long ago?
Did your heart then not reply
To the love-light in your eye?
Did your eye your heart belle?
dear, blue eyes why look you SO?
o little heart why loved you so?
o little heart you were not wise!
o wicked, cruel, dear blue eyes!
To look and look, and then forget,
little heart that loves you yet
Eyes of blue,
Why thus lndame
A little heart to sing thy name
And keep so far away?
Eyes of blue
false or true
Within heart you are enshrined. Z
