THE TIDY HOUSEWIFE

The careful tidy housewife, when she is
giving her house its spring cleaning, should
bear 10 mind that the dear inmates of her
house are more precious than houses, and
that their systems need cleansing by pur-
flying the blood. regulating the stomach
and bowels to prevent and cure the dis.
eases arising from spring malaria and
miasma, and she should know that there is
nothing that will do it so perfectly and
surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best
of all medicines. See other column.

The Penitentiary at Joliet ran behind
$4,000 during the last two years, and the
Legislature is asked to appropriate that
amount to make up the deficiency. The
hard times bore heavily on the business
department of the institution, and a large
number of convicts we're for long time
unemployed. The taxpayers may con-
graduate themselves that things are no
worse. A bill to appropriate $4O9, 900, to
complete the prison at Chester, has been
introduced. = Chieoao Times.

TANT INFORMATION.
The attention Of the people of this city
and country is specially called to the num-
of deaths reported in the papers from that
dreadful disease, CONSUMPTION. In fact,
this disease is reported to be constantly
increasing, as can be seen by examining
the mortality list, and all caused by not
breaking up a slight cough or cold as soon
as it appears. which can be easily done by
using HALEs' HONEY OF FOREGROUND AND
TAR. an article which was discovered by
the late Dr. Hale,a celebrated physician Of
Europe, and used IN his private practice
for many years with great success. The
present proprietor, believing this market
required just such an article, has purchas-
ed the same at large outlay. and is now
preparing it according to the original re
cipe And those who have used the artic
lie twho are thousands consider it a certain
cure for all Coughs. Colds. Horseness, DIFF
icult Breathing, and all affections of the
Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs lead
ing to Consumption. Sold by all druggists

FORETELLING HIS OWN DEATH.
An Arkansas Farmer Who Predicted
His Own Fate Accurately.
Little Rock Gazette. I

Little Rock Gazette.
A singular death occurred out on the
Mt. Ida road ten miles from town, sew
eral days ago. A farmer, whose name
we were unable to learn, predicted that
he would die on certain day. His
friends, and particularly his wife, re-
monstrated with him, assuring him that
he had no foundation for such a belief
He disregarded all entreaty, however,
and clinging with peculiar, almost OBJ
stinate, tenacity to his belief in his
death on the day predicted. After a
time he seemed to forget, or rather dis
regard, his peculiar notion, and his
friends thought no more concerning the
prediction, only wondering why the man
should assume the role of death-telling
prophet.
Finally, the day on which the man
said he should die arrived. No change
occurred in his physical condition, but
he began working as usual. About II
o'clock he entered the house and re-
marked to his wife that he felt sick, and
complained that his feet were cold.
Pulling off his shoes he sat by the fire
and held out his feet. Turning to his
wife, he said:
81 am going to die just as l told
you.
His wife begged him not to speak so,
but he persisted in his belief.
q am dying now, said he. Death
has begun at my feet and is creeping to-
ward my head.
The woman assisted him to the bed.
Undressing, he lay down, and when his
wife went out and returned with an
armful of wood, he was dead.

How a Boy Came Back.

Some years ago boy left home in
Indiana for Chicago. He was not there
long before he was led astray. a
neighbor from his fathers town, hap
pening to visit Chicago, saw the boy on
the street, one night, drunk.
When that neighbor went home at
thing about it to the boys father, but
afterwards he thought it was his duty to
tell him. So in crowd in the street Of
their little town, he just took the father
aside and told him what he had seen in
Chicago. 1t was a terrible blow. When
the children had been put to bed that
night, he said to his wife "Wife, 1
have bad news / have heard from
Chicago, to-day" The mother dropped
her work in an instant, and said ''Tell
me what it is" "Well, our son has
been seen on the streets of Chicago
drunk" Neither of them slept that
night, but they took their burden to
Christ, and about daylight the mother
said: 81 don't know how, / don't know
when or where, but God has given me
faith to believe that our son will be
saved and will never come to a druRka
ards grave"
One week after that, that boy had
left Chicago. He could't tell why. An
unseen power seemed to lead him to his
mothers home, and the first thing he
said on coming over the threshold was !:
Mother, | have come to ask you to
pray for nae = and soon after he went
back to Chicago a bright and shining
light.
If you have a burden like this, faith
ers, mothers, bring it to Him and cast
1t ON him, and He, the great Physician,
viii heal your broken hearts.-D. L.
Moody.

Personal Appearances of St. Paul.

Paris Correspondence of the London Times.
NJ Mezieres, in welcoming NJ Renan
at the Academy, rallied him on the con
fidence with which he described St.
Paul, as short, with small bald head,
pale face, thick beard, aquiline nose,
piercing eyes, with black eyebrows
meeting over the nose. Nobody" sati-
REALLY remarked NJ Mezieres, chad
known St. Paul so intimately, and NJ
Scorer must be right in alleging that
you have seen him." The Debdts to-
day publishes letter addressed to NJ
Mezieres by Il. Renan, who cites the
authorities for his portrait, viz; the
"Acts of Thecla, written by an Asiatic
priest one hundred years after the Apos-
ties death, and evidently based on ira
dition; passage in the dialogue
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." St. PauPs own
words in seventeen passages i'll Corinthi-
ans and one in Galatians. After sug-
costing that the thorn in the flesh was
rheumatism, NJ. Renan disclaims any
idea Of carictature, says he shall have
need of the intercession of saints, and
quotes the remark of Capuchin friar,
who, delighted with his article on st.
Francis, would say, on hearing him
blamed, "Oh, no doubt; but he has
spoken well of St. Francis of Assist, and
St. Francis of Assist will save him. !"
"There," adds M. Renan, ''is power

add his consideration of the trouble |

words she seized the little fellow. clasped
him to her bosom. and wept copiouslv
The matter was clear to me now at
last; but who on earth could have ex-
pected such a denouement, or that she
should have been led to the only spot
where she could have gained any tidings
or her brother?

of mine, and had prevented her carry
ing off in the end the young semi-Italian
scaramoueh to add to our own collec-
ten.
However, am bound to say believe
she might not have pressed this point
had not it been for the fatal effect Of the
accident, which after all terminated in
Lucia's death, and consequently for the
child having thus, as it We're. fallen To
our charge as his natural guardians. 1t
was ali very sad and miserable, the end
of our time at Lacarno involving COM
plications with the local law. We were
detained there till the end of October,
for the old padrone departed this life
soon after his daughter, and we had some
difficulty in proving our right to the
child.
Our right to the child! Humph
Truly, women are wonderful beings
and she had instinctively discovered this
right, had discovered it through that
mysterious, delicate, subtle intuition to
which our masculine and grosser natures
are entire strangers. She was quite cor
rect from the first. Little Paolo has
grown up maryellously like his youngest
cousin even | can see it now.

THE TRUE HEAVEN.
PAUL H. HAYSE.

The bliss for which our spirits pine,
That bliss We feel shall Yet be given
Somehow, in some far realm divine,
Some marvellous state We name heaven
Is not the bliss OF lanruorous hours,
A glory of calm. unmeasured range,
But life which feeds our noblest powers
On wonders Of eternal change;
A heaven OF action free from strife,
With ampler ether for the scope
OF an lmmesurable life,
And an unbaffied, boundless hope:
A heaven wherein all diseords cease;
Self-torment, doubt, distress, turmoil
The core Of whose majestic peace
Is God-like power of tireless toll
Toll without tumult strain or lar
With grandest reach of range induced,
Unchecked by even the farthest star
That trembles through infinitude,
In which to spar to highest heights
Through widening ethers stretched abroad
Till in our onward, upward flights,
We touch at last the feet of God
Time swallowed in Eternity,
Ne future-evermore, no past
But one unheeding NOW to be
A boundless circle round Us cast

Discomfort

Two boats rocked on the river.
In the shadow Of leaf and Tree;
One was in love with the harbur-
One was In love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds Of fate Cutbore,
But held the other, longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
With wistful ewes looks ever
To the one far cut 40 sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Though sailing fair and feet,
Looks back 20 the peaceful river,
To the harbor safe and sweet
One frets against the quiet
OF the moss-grown shaded shore.
One signs that il may enter
The harbor never more.
One wearies of the dangers
OF the tempest's rage and vail:
One dreams among the lilies
OF far off snowy sail
OF all that life can teach AIS
There's uaught so true as this
The winds of fate blow ever,
But ever blow amiss.
