of Josiah. with pity. For the first time

how impossible it was for one of his weak

which would cost stronger will an effort.

Fell Against a Sharp Edge

This is furnished by Mr.. VIM. Will, 1913
Frankfort Ave-, Philadelphia, Pa: Some
time since received severe injury to my
back, by falling against the sharp edge. of
a marble step, the stone penetrating it at
least half inch, and leaving very pain
full wound. After suffering for time, 1
concluded to apply st. Jacobs Oil. and am
pleased to say, that the results exceeded
my expectations. 1t speedily allayed all
pain and swelling and by continued USE,
made a perfect cure. I really think it the
most ef1icacious liniment eyer used.

If, sitting with this little, WORKOUT shoe
And scarlet stocking lying my knee,
I knew the little feet had battered through
The pearlset gates tat lie 'twixt heaven and me
1 could be reconciled and happy. too.
And look with glad eyes toward the Jasper Sea-
If, in the morning, when the song Of birds
Reminds me of a music far mere sweet,
I listen for his pretty, broken words
And for the music of his dimpled feet,
could be almost happy, though heard
No answer. and but saw his vacant seat.
1 could be glad. if when the day is done,
And all its cares and heart,ache laid away,
I could look westward to the hidden sun,
And, with a heart full of sweet yearning, say,
Tonight I'm nearer to my little one
By just the travel of single day.
If L could know those little feet were shod
In sanAals, wrought OF light in better hands,
And that the footprints of d tender God
Ran side by side with his in golden sands,
1 could bow cheerfully and kiss the rod,
Since Benny was in wiser. safer hands
If he were, dead, would not sit to-day
And stain with tears the wee sock on my knee.
would not kiss the tiny shoe, and say,
Bring back again my little bow to me!''
would be patient, knowing twas Gods way,
And wait to meet him O. er deaths silent sea.
But o! to know the feet, once pure and white,
The haunts of vice have boldly ventured in!
The hands that should have battled for the right
Have been wruug crimson in the clasp Of sin.
And should he knock at heavens gate tonight,
I fear nv boy could hardly enter in.
