The Christian Advocate

says: IA general complaint that spares
neither class nor condition of persons, is
seated in the liver. It may be truly said
this is our national disease, and it gives
us great pleasure to hear or read the
testimony of persons of well known
yeracity and intelligence to prove the
value Of Simmons Liver Regulator as o
remedy. The printed and verbal testi-
mony Of SO many friends and acquain-
tances satisfies us that this is one of the
exceptions to the general humbuggery Of
medical specialties."

Everything was so very remarkable about it
that hardly know what to tell first - J.dt,

horses generally comet raiped down. But 1

The rings for the saddle came from q box

out; as is also the supply OF every sort Of
! string in the house; whether it be cord, twino
or tape, We have none. For the training of that
horse has almost ruined us-i1 the string line,
But Goldie's horse is fully trained now. aud
| so harnesses last longer; and instead of run
ming away and leaving wreck of carts and
wheels behind it almost daily, it now steps
soberly off in front of the new dolly car
riage, and takes the whole family of dolls out
for = quiet airing gg.f
/ Fairy is Goldies neighbor, and also Goldie's
vsrybes friend. OF all the children near, she
only IS the favored one who may sometimes
take the reins from Goldie's hands and drive
Cuddie Cuddie is the horse. iil " .'
The other day nothing would do but that
| Fairy should drive She had come over on
purpose to do it, and could think of nothing
else. 49,
Now Cuddio does not always approve of
Fairy's driving her. But there was no help
for it, so she was harnessed up by Goldie
withInany loving pats and words, and confined
to Fairy's hands to take to the garden.
Butch, sly and cunning Cuddie-no sooner
| was the pleasant drive about tho shady walk
well begun than Cuddie became wild and
| reckless runaway. And, running away, she
ran right up tree. %
Oh, what nice position for horse to be in |!
In vain then did the children hang around
the base Of the tree, and with coaxing tones
call Cuddie to come down. :
No, she wouldn't come down until Fairy had
gone home; even though meanwhile she was
slowly choking to DEATH in the twists of the
disordored harness.
''Hack! hack! hack!" The sound reached
Goldie's ears. She jumped to the rescue. and
Cuddie jumped to meet her.
But the relns caught on limb above and
| jerked her back, and there she swung in Md
air. - .. ..l...,
Goldie was equal to the emergency.
With trembling haste she ran for chair.
She brought it. She mounted it. She cut the
| reins. aud Cuddie fell into her 10 ring arms.
But she was not killed, for she was a cat.
And cats they say have nine lifes And this
| happened to be one of them.

DEATH AND LIFE

q Oh deathi how sweet the thought
That this worlds strife is ended;
That all we feared and all We sought
In one deep s.eep are blended.
No more the anguish Of to-day
To wait the darker morrow;
- No moro Stern call to do or say,
To brood DER sin and sorrow.
Oh death! how dear the hope
That through the thicSeSt shade,
Beyond the steep aud sunless slope,
Our treasured store is laid.
The Lowell, the mourned. the honored dead
That lonely path have trod,
And that same pah We too must tread,
To be with them and God.
o life! thou art too sweet:
Thou breath st the fragrant breath
or those whom even the hope to meet
Can cheer the gate Of death.
Life is the scene their presence lighted;
Its every honr ami place
Is with dear thought of them united,
1rradiate with their grace.
There lie the duties small and great
Which We from them inherit;
There spring the aims that lead US straight
To their celestial spirit. --s
All glorious things, or seen or heard,
For love or Justice done, r F.w
The helpful ed. tho euuobling word,
By this poor life are won.
o life aud death. like day and night,

turned from his +. New England trip or
Saturday in capital health and spirits, and al
once resumed the active duties of his office.
The employment OF, so many new clerks neces-
Issriy involves upon the old employees great
deal. of extra work in the way of training the
new employees in the ways of their positions,
and for some time to come it is not likely that
there will be marked increase in the number Of
claims adjud Dictated from week to week. It re-
quires nearly it not quite six months steady
experience to makea capable examiner out of a
dew appointee. and in the meantime he is in
one sense a! clog upon the machinery of the

of the operations of the pension bureau for

beng prepared red for foo %sa to

Strange are the vagaries Of religious sects.

tingushing< themselves by deifying Mrs.

settled upon Mrs. Beekman. and that she is one
with God; ahd that when she speaks
it is 4 with the voice of God. Mrs
Beekman, who is , also at Alpena attend
ing tile meetings, claims the godly at
tribute that she has been appointed to con-
yey the word, and that she has to perform
the mission assigned her. whether she wants
to or not Her disciples, in open meeting
right before her and the audience, proclaim
her their saviour. One man at thu meedug on
the 9th. spoke of Esr ''as the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sins OF the world" An
other sail she was "tlic candle that Illuminated

in an Organization, as they are too holy for

sacred enough to be used as name for them
