Suffering for 4 Life Time

Persons afriicted with rheumatism often suffer
for life time, their tortures being almost with
out remission. The joints and muscles Of such
unfortunates are In most cases shockingly con-
torted and drawn out Of shape. To AFFORD them
even temporary relief, the ordinary remedies
often prove utterly useless. Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, on the other hand, is avouched by per-
sons who have used 1t, to be genuine source of
relief. 1t keeps the blood con! by promoting
regular habit Of body, and removes from 1t i'm
purities which, in the opinion Of all rational
pathologists, originate this agonizing complaint
and its kindred malady, the gout, Besides this,
the l3itters remedy disorders of the stomach,
liver and nerves, prevent and eradicate inter-
mittent and remlttent fevers, promote appetite
and Gleep, and are highly recommended by ply
siciaas as q desirable medicinal stimulant and

last Friday night to witness the review
exercises o. Prof. Evans class. The
singing was excellent. and pleased the
whole assemblage. The solos, ducts
ousrtstses and choruses were all 20 well
rendered that We hardly know which to
bes,ow the most praise upon. The trials
of the different church choirs exhibited
a marked improvement, and their efforts
we're highly appreciated by the audl-
ence. Little Miss Williams, the three

sorAs anil her sweet, musical, bird like
voice received the applause of the whole
house. The occasion was. indeed, a
most enjoyable one, only one thing oc-
curing to mar the pleasure of the
eyeuing-that was the unusual fuss and
noise kicked up by some young sports in
the back part of the church with their
continual talking, rat,ling of clubs and
bludgeous, etc, to the great annoyance
of everybody in the house
The Professor will meet his clasa this
evening at 7:3O at the Baptist Church
to take his farewell.

LIFE.
By oLETA ST. CLAIR.

BY oLETA ST. CLAIR.
Life is like mighty sen,
Whose waves beat the shores Of Time;
Ia its changeful depths we see
Pearly gems, then only slime.
Many're the stately ships that ride
Bravely Ger the crested waves,
| Heeding not fierce wind or tide,
Or bending them like abject slaves.
Many still are but the spcrt
Ofvarying tide or tickle breeze,
They never reach the wished for port,
But stranded o1 the ice they freeze.
Alas upon the beach are thrown
Full many o wreck Of stately harque;
Thickly you will find them strewn,
Perhaps of recent storms mark.
Amid them there are some
Whom you have watched for many years;
Now to fair breeze the sails are flung,
Then realize your saddest fears.
Sometimes we cannot, cannot see
Why they are heavcd upon the sand,
For mild the breeze and calm the sea
About the hartor where they strand.
But might not fierce Temptations blast
Have broke upon that wretched boat,
Dismanting it Of fog and mast
Till DER the ruins vultures gloat?
And oh W, know not how she strove
Against the withering, blighting storms,
We know not how they fercely drove
Upon the ssnds-ft food for wormsl
Storms of disappointment and remorse,
For all that glooned the long ago;
Sought in the wine-cup-bitter curse!
Or suicides grave to hide its woe.
When wreck Of brother man
Heaved, we find upon the shore,
Let us lend n helping hand,
Get him out TO sea once more.
Pass him not, in cold scorn, by,
Who is fallen from the right;
Let pity's tear-irop dim thine eye,
And thy hani make his sorrows light.
Pass him not with naughty tread.
Should he still stray from duty's path;
Pass him not, or DER thy head
Soon may break the storm in wrath.
Pass him not for whom Christ died;
Lift him from the mire Of sin;
Cease not till all means are tried
Back to holier life to win.
