The potato crop of 1881 was gem
eral failure throughout the United
States, and the price of tubers rose to-
such height that 1t was found
profitable to import them in consid-
erable quantities from New Bruns-
wick, Nova Scotia. Scotland and Ire
land. But it is not probable any one
had an idea of the magnitude of the
business. The books of the Custom
Bureau. however, show that nearly
nine millions of bushels were import-
ed during the last fiscal year, their
value being 81, 500. 900, and the duty
on them being S1l7,476. It is almost
incredible, e,that in a country of such
vast territory as the United States,
and with a climate unsurpassed for
the growing of this edible, we should
be put to the necessity of importing
nine million bushels Of potatoes in a
single year.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERS will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively net injurious.

Lost Names.

From the Christian World.
They lived, and they were useful; this we know
And naught beside;
No record OF their namesds lett to show
How soon they died.
They did their work, and then they passed away,
An unknown band,
And took their places with the greater host
In the higher land.
And were they young, or were they growing Old
Drill, or well,
Or lived In poverty, or had much gold,
No one can tell
One only thing is known Of them, they were
Faithful and true
Disciples OF the Lord, and strong through PRAYER
To save and do.
But what avals the gift of empty fame!
They lived to Goo.
they loved the sweetness or another name,
And gladly trOd
The rugged ways CT earth, that they might be
Helper, or friend,
And In the JOY OF this their ministry
Be spent and spend
No glory clusters round their names on earth:
But in Gods heaven
Is kept book OF names OF greatest worth,
And there is given
place for all Who Gid the Master please,
Although unknown
And their lost names shine forth in brightest rays
Before the throne.
oh, take who will the boon OF fading fame!
But give TO me
place among the workers, though my name
Forgotten be,
And II within the book OF life is found
Ny lOwly place.
Honor and glory unto God rebound
For all His grace

A Broken Rcvcfie.

Poet
Upon the rivers heaving breast
/ see boat impelled
As If the spirit OF unrest
The rudder held.
Tis tenantless, helpless thing
Adrift without q chart,
Or like swan with broken wing
And ebbing heart
The fiexile hands that once defled
The storm-king's angry breath
With plant oars, are meath the tide
And still In death
BY wind and wave boat is tossed;
Where cruel waters roll
A body 1es-from both is lost
The moving soul:
Urchia.
"Er, mister. amt you OF your fare,
faint me you're talking with,
But that old Skif1 you see out there
Belongs to Billy Smith.
He's been to town and sold his stun,
And every cent he's sunk
In whisky straight, and sure enough
He's drunk, you know-dead drunk.
He had slew OF flsh to-day,
His regular market pack,
And now his boat has skipped away
He'll have to hoor 1t back"

Half Way In Love.

nun way IN Love-
From the London Atheneum.
You have come, then; how very cleverI
thought you would scarcely try;
WAS doubtful myself-however,
You have come, and SO have l.
how cool 1t 1s here, and pretty!
You are VeXed; Pm afraid I'm late;
You've been waitng-Oh, what pityl
And it's almost haIf-past eight.
So it is; can hear it striking
Out there In the gray church tower.
Why, wonder at your liking
TO walt for me half an hour!
F.. am sorry; what have you been doing
All the while down here by the pool?
Do you hear that wild dove cooling?
How nice 1t Is here, and cool!
How that elder piles and masses
Her great blooms snowy sweet;
Do you see through the serried grasses
The forget-me-notS at your feet?
And the fringe Of flags that encloses
The water; and how the place
Is alive with pink dog roses
Soft-colored like your face!
You like them? shall pick one
For badge and coin OF June7
They are lovely, but they prick one.
And they always fade so soon.
Here's your rose. think love like this is,
That buds between two signs,
And flowers between two kisses,
And when it's gathered dies
nwere surely grlevous thing, love,
That love should fade In ones sight;
1t were better surely to fling love
OF while Its bloom is bright
The frail life will not linger.
Best throw the rose away,
Though the thorns having scratched ones finger
VIII hurt for half day,
What you'd rather keep it, and see it
Fade and its petal fali?-
II you will, why, Amen, so be It.;
oumay be right after all.

How to Battle.

Doubtless many of you are expecting
me to say that you must battle all over,
from the crown of your head to the
soles of your feet, every day as regular
ly as daylight comes and goes. am
not going to pronounce any such SEN
tenee as that. for to some of you it
would be death, and I've no notion of
becoming guilty of murder. Such a
fiat has as much absurdity in it, as to
insist upon everybody's eating oatmeal
because for many it is SO healthful a
diet. The kind of bath, its duration
and frequency are to be regulated by
the constitution and surroundings of
the individual. For person of delicate
physique to take a cold bath often
would be to commit suicide. The shock
to the system produced by the sudden
rush of the blood from the surface to
the internal organs will cause a conges-
ton there that must soon produce per-
manent disease. The organism is not
vigorous enough to afford the strong re-
action required.
Right here 1 want to say that am
note talking to those who are sick and
under the care of a physician, but to
such as are reasonably well or but
slightly debilitated. Thebathing which
I am recommending is principally for
the purpose of keeping the pores of the.
skin open and therefore free to act, and
not for the cure of any particular dis
ease. That must be carried forward
under the advice of a doctor who knows
what the person needs in the way of
water treatment, since it is so powerful
IN its effects.
