The Rad and Worthless

are never initiated or cosenterteited This is es-
pecially true of family medicine. and 1t is
positive proof that the remedy insitatedis of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bit
ters was the purest, best, and most valuable
family medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the notices in
which the press and people of the country had
expressed the merits of II. B.. and in every
way trying to induce suffering ihvalids to
use their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of Il. B.
Many others started nostrums put up in SINH
lar style to H. B., with variously devised
names in which the word "Hop'' or Hops
were used in a way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. 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
name, are limitations or counterfeits. Beware
of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch or clus-
ter of green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or counterfeits.

AWOMAN's HEART.

Though you should come and kneel low at my
feet,
And weep in blood and tears of agony,
1t would not bring one single pang to me,
Nor stir my heart out of It's quiet beat. r-
There was q time when any word you spoke,
When but the sound of your melodious voice
Would thrill me through and make my heart
rejoice;
Your VIII was law, but now the spell is broke.
And though an angel, with shining brow,
Should come from heaven and speak to me
and say
"Go with this man and be his own Away"
would refuse, would not trust you now.
Though you should pray me, writhing in white
pain
Fer just one last caress, and should know
That you were draining out the dregs of woe,
would not let you hold my hand again.
This is a wOman's 1ove-a woman's pride.
There is a stream that never can be crossed.
1t rolls between u.s. and the trust lost
Has sunk forever in the rushing tide.

Recently the following occurrence

started somewhat stimulated on their
homeward way together in their wagon,
and q little late in the night. The
heavens were starlight, and in silence
the two sat by the side of each other,
wrapt in the contemplation of the beau
ties of nature. Suddenly the one said:
thing more than a meadow as large as
the armament up yonder." "And ], ="
said the other, "wish I had as many
cattle and sheep as there are stars that
twinkle up there" "Go away, you silly
fool, what would you do with so many
beasts? You would not have enough
to feed them" cay" said the other,
and laughed mischievously while he
spoke, ~ would put them on your
large meadow" "Yes, certainly, /
reckon you think that I would suffer
that, you ignorant simpleton," &c. One
word brought on another, and the two
who had been the best of friends pound
ed each other thoroughly. The matter
would not have become known, had
not the one sought to obtain legal re-
dress, which gave occasion for it to be-
come publicly known. And although
both came off with nothing worse than
bruised heads, they need not be anxious
lest they may not be sufficiently laughed

President Lincoln is quoted by Charles
Gibson of st. Louis as telling story illus
trating Thomas II. Benton's turn for the dra-
matio Benton and jackson had long been
at feud, and had not mot for many years until
jackson was President and Benton Senator
from Missouri. "It was in this ROOM" said
President Lincoln, at the White House, 'that
their first meeting took place. jackson was
seated at this very table, when the door yond-
or swung open and Benton stRlked in and
stood silently in the middle of the floor. jack
son looked up and recognized him at once,
and recolleoted at the same time that he had
no weapon to defend himself. Equally silently
he got up, walked to the door, locked it and
put the key in his pocket and went back to
his seat. Then he said Does this mean war
or peace p 1T means peace, said Benton.
Jackson again arose, walked TO the door, uh-
locked it, oame back to his seat and then
said: Colonel Benton, am pleased TO see
you. Take chair All this time Benton
was standing statuesquely in the centre of the
room, never moving muscle while Jackson
was locking and unlocking the door, and tho
reconciliation between the two gentlemen was

The situation in nIormendom.

There is a great ferment in the Mormon
mind over the Edmunds bill, and the church
leaders seem unable or unwilling TO sound
any rallying cry. Mormons are heard to re-
gret that Brigham Young is not alive. They
recall that he contemplated abandoning po-
lygamy If the Reynolds decision was against
it, and demand that the present church lead
eTs shall openly announce their submission
TO the law or their intention TO continue to
defy. The instructions for polygamists to
find separate houses for their plural wives is
regarded as cowardly and is creating dissatis-
faction among the Mormon women. The
coming constitutional convention is expected
to provide against further extension of po-
lygamic marriages, but what people already
in polygamy are to do gives most concern.
Some polygamists have sent away their plural
wives, others have not and say they will not,
although greatly disturbed as to possible con-
sequences. They say they are willing to suf-
fer political Acknowledgement and aid in stop

with glory Of winter sunshine
over his locks Of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birthday,
with his books and his pleasant pictures,
And his household and his kin,
While a sound as Of myriads singing
From far and near stole in.
II came from bis own fair city,
From the prairie's boundless plain,
From the Golden Gate Of sunset,
And the cedarn woods Of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his mostening eyes grew dim,
For he knew that his country's children
We're singing the songs Of him:
The lays Of his llfe's glad morning,
The psalms OF his evening time,
Whose echoes shall ioat forever
on the winds Of every cline.
All their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds Of cheer,
Came focking back to his Windows,
And sang In the Poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender,
The music rose aud fell,
with Joy akin to sadness
And greeting like farewell.
with a sense Of awe he listened
To the voices sweet and young;
The last Of earth and the FIRST Of heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And, waiting little longer
Forthe wonderful change 10 come,
He heard the Summonng Angel
Who calls Gods children home
And to him. in a holier welcome,
Was the mystical meaning given
OF the words Of the blessed Master:
"Of such IL the kingdom of Heavenl"
