THE THINGS IN THE BOTTOM
ORA YER.

There are whips and tops and pieces of strings
There are shoes which DO little feet wear,
There are bits OF ribbon and broken rings
And JrRsses OF golden hair.
There are little dresses folded away
Out of the light of the sunny day.
There are dainty jackets that never are WON,
There az e toys and models of ships,
There are books and pictures all faded and
torn,
And marked by the finger tips
OF dImplen hands that nave fallen to dust,
Yet strive TO think that the Lord is just.
But a feeling of bitterness fills my soul
Sometimes when try to pray,
That the reaper has spared so many flowers,
And taken mine away
And almost doubt if the Lord can know
That mothers heart can love them so.
Then think of the many weary ones
Who arr waiting and watching tonight
For the slow return of lalterIng feet
That have srrayed from the paths of right;
Who have daTEened their lives by shame and
sin.
Whom the snares of tempter have gathered in
They ander far in distant chimes,
They perish by fre and flood,
And their hands are black with the direst
crimes
That kindlrd the wrath of God.
Yet mothers song has soorhed them to rest:
She hath lolled them to slumber upon heI
breast.
And then l think Of my children three,
My babes that never grew old,
And now they are waiting and watching fol
me
In the CRY with streets of gold,
Safe. safe from the cares Of the weary years,
From sorrow and sin and war,
And thank nv God with falling tears
For thin gS I'D the bottom drawer.

The War Between CniI and Peru.
Cincinnati Commercial

The Peruyians have had unifor mly
bad-luc in their war with the Chilians,
but they do not seem to be disposed to
sue for peace. Recently some of their
ships had dashed in among the Cnilian
vessels olockading their ports, and as
tonished the enemy by their pluck and
daring. On the la, d, too, they are
picking up courage, and when their
Bolivian allies, who are marching to as
sist them, 5000 strong, form a Junction
they will have the respectable force of

invaders. These are more sign of life
and resources than any one had reason
to suspect after so many disasters. The
war, therefore, will 60 on, unless the
Chllians offer advantageous terms OF

81 believe you d." The second then
spoke to the third; 81 believe owe you

1t is making haste slowly. As step to-
ward the end in view-the establish

schools are to be multiplied everywhere,
and local suffrage assemblies establish

capacity of the populace. 1t may be
years before representative govern

it is believed that by avoiding precipi-

permanent and stable. The policy OF

A Valuable Discovery.

The success, financially, Of tho Ne

and during the past month it has created
considerable excitement and those who
have remembered having e Groupings
of mica anywhere in the county have
been industliously ut work irving to
find an article which heretofore they
passed over alnlo,t unnoticed. All Ibis
excitement has lead 10 one valuable dis,
coyery, at least. There has been in cir

was said to lie somewhere to the north

AT that time no one paid any attention
to or appreciated It's value; ii gold mine
WAS what everyone was looking for then.
But the doctor a short time ago began
10 realize the fact that there was a fort
une in that mine and he accordingly
started out to look amer it, but devil "A
bit" of it could he fad. Old landmarks
had been oblitcred, and the decor
couldn't lind il, and said SO. In the
