Prejudice Kills.

eleven years our daughter suffered
on bed of misery under the care OF
several of the best (and some of the
worst) physicians, who gave her disease
various names but no relief, and now
she is restored to us in good health by
as simple remedy as Hop Bitters, that
we had poohed at for two years, before
using it. We earnestly hope and pray
that no one else will let their sick suf-
fer, as we did, on account of prejudice
against so good medicine as Hop Bit

Aud Miss Chrystan, assuming the rega
air which she SO well knew how TO wear
walked out Of the office, with Dame Druid

She went straight to DIR. Silcox's, ant
then and there entered upon an alliance
offensive and defensive, with him as to hel
"poor people," and finished up by inviting
him TO Chrystan Hall for dinner, the nex

"Well," said Miss Jewett, when hel

"Ive seen the two new DOCTORS" said Mis-,
Chrystan, seating herself before the fire.
"Both of them 2" said Ellie.
"Both of them," nodded Miss Chrystan.
"And what is your verdict 2" asked Miss
Jewett
"Dr. Garnet is cold-natured self-seeker
who wears patchouli upon his handkerchief
and an armor of ice around his heart" sale
Miss Chrystan. "And DIR. Silcox is

"But he's round-shouldered and near

"Pshaw p said the heiress.
"And he never wears any gloves"
"For all that, Ellie" said Miss Chrystan

And this little incident settled the fate
socially speaking of the two doctors. Miss
Chrystan and her friends led public opinion
in Wild River, and DR.. Garnet was unable
to fight against the waves of popular OBJ

To follow where her footsteps led
To live for God and heaven.
Canst thou forget that dying prayer,
That dying look Of love7
As II she saw thy promise-words
safe registered above
Her trembling hand was on thy head,
Her words came low and sweet
Father Almighty, keep him safe
TIL in thy home we meet"
Safe safe alas thou canst not be,
Wandering as thou art now;
The fiery draught has left It's stain
Upon thy heart and brow.
Oh, stop think ere II be too late
Too late forevermore
Turn back with me from haunts Of sin
To homes dear sheltering door.

The folded flower, the mist-crowned tree,
Proclaim the gathering twilight holy.

solemn stiffness round us fingers;
And on our wildly throbblng brows
We feel the touch of angel fingers.

Drape with fair hopes LIES drear beyond
Gay garlands for the future wreathlng.

The wanderer, tired Of ceaseless roaming,
Longs for the clasp Of kindred hand,
And the dear home enwrapt in cleaning.

Cords which will swell when unborn years
Are buried In the great hereafter.
