three or four winters ago, not thousand

The article of kerosene owing to, the
great difference In price between this and
the other side of the st. Lawrence, held
out the greatest temptation to snug
elers and many load lad been success
fully slid into Canada without being sub
jected to duty. On one occasion
government officer discovered, one
pretty dark night, double sleigh well
loaded with kerosene winding It's way
across Wolf Island. He Immediately
pursued with his horse and cutter, and
the race became exciting as the officer
gained upon the smuggler. who seemed
to realize that unless something was
done quickly his expedition would be a
failure. Both smuggler and officer were
lashing their horses to their utmost
speed, and only a short pace was
between them, when all of a sudden the
rear barrel slipped off the load as if by
magic, and no sooner struck the snow
than the horse of the officer tum-
bled over it and in less than no time
horse, cutter and officer were badly mixed
up in heap. AS soon, however, as the
shock was over the officer recovered his
feet and senses, got together his wreck
and retraced his steps as best he could,
and probably no one would have been

other side about the great race for twelve

Health and Strength.

When you wish to renew your health; when
the various organs of life are weakened by long
suffering and distress, then use medicine that
will act in perfect harmony with the entire
system. Use a medicine that will build UP
without tearing down. Use medicine that will
create healthy appetite. Use medicine that
will strengthen every part of the body and re-
move all blood impurities, thus giving disease
no opportunity for reaction. Such remedy is
DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and SarsapariIla. It
is a true strengthened, sure reviver, perfect
enricher of the blood. 1t contains nothing hurt
full to the most delicate constitution. Its
principal ingredients are Yellow Dock, Sarsa
parilla, Juniper, Buchu, Callsaya Bark and
Celery. Try one bottle. Its effect is charming.

They Were Not Disappointed.
Harrisburg (Pa.) independently

Many people, especially those of a
credulous nature, seem doomed to ex-
perience many and bitter disappoint-
ments. The clouds lower and the tenn
pest roars. especially to defeat some pet
plan or object OF theirs; or the sun
shines too hotly or the winds blow too
harshly, just to interfere with their an
ticipated pleasure. Friends desert them
and prove false when friendship is most
needed, and business vanishes, leaving
nothing but loss. In fact, whatever
they touch turns to ashes. Disappoint-
ment seems to meet them at every step,
unless it be that sickness is abroad, and
then they are sure of something. If it
be rheumatism or other painful ailment
that seizes them, some friend or other
mentions st. Jacobs Oil, using which
they cannot experience disappointment,
for the Great German Remedy will cure
all maladiee of a painful nature. The
following experience bears upon this
point:
Mr.. e, l.. Russ, living on the corner
of Broad and Cowden Streets, says his
business keeps him on his feet great
deal! Sometimes his feet get so sore
and infamed that he endures great
agony. He has found much comfort
and relief, however, from the Great Ger
man Remedy. Previous to using ST..
Jacobs Oil he never found anything to
give him relief save perfect rest. The
Oil relieves and enables MIN to work all
the time. He praises it highly.
Miss Mary G. Drummer, residing at All
Market Street, is subject to neuralgia.
Some time ago while suffering great pain
from an attack she was induced, happily,
to use st. Jacobs Oil, and it relieved her
Immediately. She has tried many rem
edies, but gives the Oil the praise over
all others, and says she can recommend
it as the greatest healer of pain she has
ever seen.
Mrs. Amos B. Ripper, No. 1913 South
Third Street, uses the ST. Jacobs Oil
with the happiest effect when attacked
with rheumatism, with which disease
she is, to some extent, a chronic sufferer.
Her son and daughter have also en-
ployed the Great German Remedy in
rheumatism, and the whole family are
loud in the praise of the great curative
powers of the remedy.
Mr.. ID. Bensinger, with Mr.. VIM.
Cruikshanks, ieweler, No. Market
Square, says he regards st. Jacobs Oil
as a wonderful cure for rheumatism.
He woke up one morning and found one
of his feet very much swollen and pain
ing him sharply. He put on his shoes
but found he could not bear it; soon he
mad to take his stocking off, and very
soon the pain was so great he could not
walk. He began to apply the st. Jacobs
Oil, one bottle Of which was sufficient
to give him entire relief. He says he
never saw any remedy act so quickly and
happily in subduing pain. Of this ma
ture is the testimony coming from all
parts of the country.
Whoever uses the Great German Rem
coy once, keeps it convenient thereafter
as household panacea. ST. Jacobs Oil
differs from all other articles claiming
the same power, in that it does keep it's
promises.

FROM THE JAPANESE.

White-winged birds in the sunset heavens,
White-sailed ships on the sunset sea:
But neither the birds that fly above us,
Nor ships, wherever their haven may De,
Are meant for me.
The bamboo laughs at the Zephyrs Woolng,
Tossing the sheen of her sea-green hair:
While low-voiced lover leans to the Iotus,
Till her blushing cheek is yet more fair;
But eastward going, or westward blowing,
The winds that speak to blossom ana tree
Are dumb to me.
turned my face to the g matchless mountain"
Oueenliest queen in the world below;
Crowned as with crown of pure white lilies,
Flowers of the Winter frost and snow.
The stars and the clouds are in her secret,
And her beauty shines on the wondering sea,
But not on me.
Out from the hush of the brooding twilight,
Sweet as the breath of the rose in sleep,
Soft as the flush of the Summer sunset
Fading away on the purple deep,
Dawns in dream the shore of the silent
Washed by the waves of an infinite sea-
This is for me
Shadowy sails that are set to seek me,
Shadowy pinions tnat beat the air,
Shapes of beauty that rise to greet me,
Are We but phantoms, and yet so fair?
Breaking the bands of the dusk asunder,
Tremulous stars in their mystery
Now shine for me =
Stars that illume my soul serenely;
Wonderful stars, unknown in the skies,
Wistful and tender, yelling your splendor,
Are We but visions, o radiant eyes?
Beautiful shades ON the shore of the silent,
Washed by the waves of an infinite sea,
Ye are the real:-The living are phantoms
Fading from me. -BetgTGUfd.

A Mrs. CoKER, with her three child
rem, in an ox-cart, was going home from

A Brusuue Poet,

A young lady, says Boston CORES
respondent, who sat next to me at din
ner the other day, asked, in sort Of
awe-struck tone, as If she had some sus-
picions of her idolized statue being after
all somewhat faulty and irregular: SIS
it true that DIR. Holmes is brusque and
rude to people whom he meets?" And
I told her no, did not think it was ex-
actly true. The poet has, of course, a
worldwide reputation, and, unlike Whit
tier and Longfellow, who are as modest
and as free from snobbishness as they
are gifted, Holmes shows self-conscious-
ness that is distressing. We are willing
to bow down before genius, but we do
not want to have the talent and its ac-
compartments thrust in our faces.
Holmes can be genial and full of humor
at times, and is so, but he has an unfor-
tunate voice, a harsh-perhaps dictator
ial-style that has made more than one
gentle woman say to me: 81 wish [ had
never met Mr.. Holmes, for my illusion
is destroyed" "What business have
young scribblers to send their verses to
me and ask my opinion on the stuff %
he asked me one day "They have no
more right to ask me than they have to
stop me on the street, run out their
tongues and ask me what is the matter
with their stomachs and what shall they
take as a remedy" And then again on
another day he made the remark
Everybody that writes book must
needs send me copy. It's very good
of them, of course, but they're not all
successful attempts at book-making, and
most of them are relegated to my hos
pital for sick books upstairs"
