Our Generation,s Changes.

There are thousands Of people liv-
ing in this country to-day who never
expected slavery and other fixed insti-
tutions to be brought to an end in
their day and generation. Those
wrongs to down-trodden race were
deemed invincible, but yet one gener-
alton has seen them blotted out, and
now the present one sees just as great
evils confronted with an army Just as
strong as any that ever waged war for
the benefit Of the oppressed. Change
is written everywhere. The ills and
woes Of mankind are claiming atten-
tion, and the coming generation can
erect the monument over many of
the fourishing evils Of to-day. In no
profession is there more advancement
being made than in the science of
medicine. Physicians are learning to
practice common sense as we'll as
medicine. They are beginning to
prescribe Perana for large number
Of the complaints Of mankind, and
with astonishing success. They should
keep on the good work and the end is
assured. Send for the book on the

He took the babe in his arms very

train up the child the way that he
should go; that you surround him
with the best influences and that you

so, who knows but that he may be-

Christmas Carol.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
peace on earth, goodwill to men,,
From heavens all-gracious King"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled:
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And ever DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring:
Oh, hush the noise, we men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way,
With painful steps and Slow
Look now: for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels slug!
For, 10! the days are fastening on
By prophet bards foretold,
When with ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold:
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendOrs fling.
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Polishing the Wrong End.

who never give thought to the con-

it casually with brush and comb, or
submit it to the paralyzing attentions
Of the average barber. What hap

mental anxiety, or any of a score of
causes, the hair turns prematurely
gray and begins to fall out. Parker S
