band, John Bale, postmaster. was in
danger, and then that he was dead. The
dream was-so vivid, real-H&e, that she
got up and tearfully waited for his
corpse to be brought to the house.
When some men came with the body of
Mr.. Bale at ) o'clock Ill the morning it
was no surprise to her. The body was
found near hs own door, lying face
downwards on the pavement. There
was a bleeding cash on the forehead
where it had struck the stones. He had

MI. Hcsiey at Turner Hall.

The address of Mr.. T. M Healey, at Tur-

be remembered by those who had the good
fortune 70 be present, to listen to the dis
tinguished leader Of Irish opinion.
MIR. H. has the manner and address of a
polished, pleasant gentleman, his brogue is
very slight and he might as easily be taken for
New Yorker as an Irishman fresh from the
old country.
His address was plain statement of the
Irish question, very forcibly put and well cal
culated to set at right any erroneous opinions
about Ireland, engendered through prejudice
or misinformation.

pecially true of family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy inaitatedis of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bit

family medicine on earth, many limitations

expressed the merits of n. B.. and in every
way trying to induce suffering invalids to
use their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of H. B.
Many others started nostrums put up in SINH

were used in a way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bltters All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those
with the word Hop" or Hops in their name
or in any way connected with them or their

of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch or clus-

THE REIORT SARCASTIC.-Ju Judge
Tarbeil tells the following joke on him
self. A short time after his retirement
from the bench he happened to meet an
old friend whom he had not seen for
some time. The Judge, all smiles and
heartiness, effervesced over his friend
in such way as to provoke the enqui.
ry:-
"What office are you candidate for
now, Judge?"
The Judge made a deprecatory move
ment with an outward turned palm, and
said:-
For none at all, my dear brother;
I'm simply candidate for the Kingdom
of Heaven"
His friend regarded him sorrowfully
for an instant, and. then, with more wit
than politeness, and more profanity
than either, said:-
"I'll bet you don't carry d
townshipW
Doubtless the Judge lost sight of the
mans profanity in admiration of his
sublimely truthful candor.

READING ALOUD IN THE FAMILY
Books and periodicals should be angels

bring us the golden fruit of thought and
experience from other lands. AS the
fruits of the trees of the earth's soil are
most enjoyed around the family board,
so should those that grow upon mental
and moral boughs be gathered around
by the entire household. No home ex-
erclse could be more appropriate and
pleasing, than for one member to read
aloud for the benefit of all. If parents
would introduce this exercise into their
family, they would soon see the levity
and giddiness that make up the convex
sation of too many circles, giving way
to refinement and dignity.

THE FOOT OF THE RAINBOW.

May and her brother started together,
All in the beautiful August weather,
When the long hot day was nearly done,
Running as fast as they ever could run,
On toward the West and the setting sun.
Their hands were clasped. and their little feet
Disturbed the dust with a constant patter,
And the people stared, whom they CHANGED to
meet,
| And wondered what on earth was the matter.
! They knew, those two,
They had business to do;
No time to STOP or even to walk;
No time for resting, no time for talk.
Their fortune-their future-before them lay,
And their task must be done ere the close Of
| day.
For they had been told
That by any smart children might surely be
A big pot of gold.
Where the foot of the rainbow rests on the
ground
And Johnny had carefully noted the spot,
And knew where the rainbow touched the
meadow. - ~
| Casting beautiful tinted shadow
Over the burial-pIace of the pot.
So Mays little fist in his hand he took,
And together they hastened down to the brook.
Poor little breath 1t comes Iabored and fast.
Poor little feet! too hard have they wrought.
The brook has been crossed and the meadow
is passed;
The distance is greater than Johnny had
thought.
"Never mind, May. 1 had nearly guessed
right.
See! Sister, the beautiful bow is in sight!
Just over the black berry patch, I'u be bound,
Is the place where the rainbow touches the
ground"
Poor little feet SO tired and worn.
Poor little faces! SO covered with scratches.
Poor little hands! SO bleeding and torni
By briers that grow in such ugly patches.
Stoutly they toll through the thicket, and then
They see the same rainbow before them again.
"Never mind. May, for the bow is there still,
Just at the foot of the little green hill.
See where 1t touches the grass and the flowers!
Another short run and the gold will be ours"
Poor little eyes! how crowded with tears.
Poor little hearts! how heavy with fears.
The day is done, and down drops the sun
The beautiful bow in moment is gone,
And swiftly the shadows of night come on.
Poor little feet! too weary to walk.
Poor little tongues too tired to talk.
Poor little heads! too stupid to think.
Poor little limbs Just ready to sink.
Just at the foot of little green mound
Johnny and baby May were found,
Wrapped in a slumber sweet and deep,
Aud were carried home and laid away,
And nothing disturbed their refreshing sleep
Till the rising sun made another day.
Do none but children seek the shadow
Of the rainbow on the meadow,
And believe the story told
OF the hidden pot of gold?
All our lives we search insanely;
AS we near it, toiIing vainly.
Then before our eager eyes
Still the brilliant phantom flies,
TIL the day of life is done,
And the night of death comes on.
Gods kind angels find us there,
Lift US In their arms with care,
Lay us gently down to rest
On our Mother Natures breast.
And our slumber knows no waking
Till the perfect day is breaking.

POETRY
PILGRIM'S ISLE.
Y THOMAS WILLIAM PARSONS.


BY THOMAS WILLIAM PARSONS.
There fell a charm upon the deep,
A spell upon the silent shore;
The boats. like lily-pads asleep,
Lay round me upon oceans floor.
o, weary world of noise and strife,
o, cities, full of gold and guile,
How small part ye make Of life
To one that walks on Pilgrims Isle!
I watched the Gurnet's double star,
Like Jove and Venus side by side,
And on the smooth waves cleaning far
Beheld it's long reflection ride.
My days Of youth are Almost flown.
And yet. upon night like this,
Love Will not let my heart alone;
Back comes the well-remembered bliss.
Oft in thy golden locks gleam
OF other days illumes my brain.
And in the hands soft touch seem
To feel my boyhood born again.
All, dearest, all will soon be DER!
see my sunset In thy smile;
1t fingers longest on the shore,
The enchanted shore of Pilgrims Isle.
