gave him prominence in the democratic

At Peace.

And said, ''She is dead /: could not brook,
Again on that marvellous face to look.''
But they took my hand and they led me in,
And left me alone with my nearest kin.
Once again alone in that silent place,
My beautiful dead and I, face to face.
And could not speak, and could not stir,
But stood and with love looked ON her.
With love, and with rapture, and strange surprise
looked on the lips and the close-shut eyes;
On the perfect rest and the calm content,
And the happiness there in her features blent;
And the thin white hands that had wrought so muc
Now nerveless to kisses or fevered touch.
My beautiful dead who had known the strife,
The pain and the sorrow, that we call Life.
Who had never fatered beneath her cress,
Nor murmured when loss followed swift on loss;
And the smile that sweetened her lips away
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day.
smoothed from her hair silver thread,
And wept, but 1 could not think her dead
felt with wonder too deep for speech,
She could tell what only the angels teach.
And over her mouth leaned my ear,
Lest there might be something should not hear
Then out from the silence between us stole
A message that reached to my inmost soul:
"Why weep you to-day who have wept before
That the road was rough must journey DER?
Why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgot?
Behold, all my life have longed for rest
Yea, e'en when held you on my breast.
And, now that lie in breathless sleep,
Instead of rejoicing, you sigh and weep
My dearest, know that you would not break,
If you could, my slumber, and have me wake;
For, though life was full of things that bless,
have never till now known happiness"
Then 1 dried my tears, and with lifted head
1 left my mother, the beautiful dead.

Mr. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, had led a mis-
cradle life for that period through the presence of
stone in the bladder. That he sought in all drec-
tons for cure is an almost superfuous statement
He did obtain temporary relief, but nothing more.
Last January he called on DIR. David Kennedy of
Rondout, n. Y, who said, after examination "Mr.
Lawler, you have stone in the bladder. We will

few days later the following letter passed through
the Rondout postofice:

DR. Kennedy now has the stones at his office, and
they are sufficiently formidable to justify the claim
that KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY is the
leading specific for stone in the bladder In his let
ter Mr.. Lawler mentions that Favorite Remedy also
cured him of rheumatism. The subjoned certificate
tells its own story:

AN ENGINEERS PATHETIC
s STORY.

sYes, indeed, we have some queer
little incidents happen to u.s. said
the engineer, as he piled his oll-can
about and under his machine. ''Queer
thing happened to me one day about
year ago. You'd think it queer for
rough man like me to cry for ten
minutes and nobody hut, either,
wouldn't you? Well 1 did, and can
almost cry every time think of it.
1 was running along one afternoon
pretty lively, when l approached
little village where the track cuts
through the streets. l Stacked up
little, but was still making good
speed, when suddenly, about twenty
rods ahead of me, a little girl not
more than three years old, toddled
on the track. You can't even imag-
inc my feelings. There was no way
to save her. 1t was impossible to
stop, or even slack much at that dis
tance, as the train was heavy and the
grade descending. In ten seconds it
would have been all over; and after
reversing and applying the brake, I
shut my eyes. did not want to see
any more. AS we slowed down, my
fireman stuck his head out of the
cab window to see what I'd stopped
for, when he laughed and shouted to
me: Jim, look here!' / looked,
and there was big, black New
foundland dog, holding that little
girl in his mouth, leisurely walking
toward the house where she evident
ly belonged. She was kicking and cry
ing, so that ! knew she wasn't hurt,
and the dog had saved her. My fire.
man thought it funny, and kept on
laughing, but cried like a woman.
I just couldn't help it. 1 have lit
tie girl of my own at home. ."-Chico-

KINDNESS AS AN INVEST
MENT.

There is nothing worse for domes-
tic animals than to scare them half
to death. Fright uses up the vital
forces more than growth of flesh or
fat, more than anything else unless
it is persistent starvation.
We have had two men working for
us, with teams, on the same farm at
the same time. One would take his
horses from the stable when they had
been refreshed by a few days rest,
and were feeling well, and because
they were pretty frisky while they
were being harnessed, and the off
horse did not keep the furrow well at
the first send off, would get out of
patience and yell at his team till f.
nally they would break into trot,
when he would throw the pillow to the
depth into the first hummock he could
find, bring the team to full stop,
and by this time they would be well
in ''lather'' and quivering with ex-
citement. After he had yelled for a
few minutes, and the horses had be-
come fully frightened, they had used
up enough strength to move the plow
for an hour.
The other man knew better. When
he observes, while 'shltching," that
the horses heads were carried high,
and that they were feeling first rate,
he would say to himself: '.There is
a good head of steam on to-day, and
and / shall be able to get good
days work out of these fellows if l
save it all TO be used to the best ad-
vantage Therefore he would speak
in as quiet tone as possible, would
move gently about, and aim to get
his team afeld without the risk of any
rumpus or excitement, and would
bear with few irregularities, such
as getting out of the furrow and pull
ing by fits and starts few times.
The consequence would be that when
they were warmed up to their work,
they would move on smoothly and at
the same time quickly, and at the
end of an hour there would be a row
of nice fresh burrows to show as an
equivalent for the s'steam" process
the other man had used up his fret
and fume and worry and passion.

A BoY's LoGIC.-A boy astonished
his christian mother by asking her
for dollar to buy share in rattle
for silver watch that was to be raf-
fed off in beer saloon. His moth
was Mortified and rebuked him.
''But," said he, ''mother, did you
not bake cake with ring in it, to
be raffied off in a Sunday school
fair?"
"Oh, my son." said she, "that
was for the church."
"But if it was wrong" said the
boy, ''would doing it for the church
make right! Would it be right for
me to steal money to put in the col
lection? And if it is right for the
church, is it not right for me to get
this watch if I CAM"
The good woman was speechless,
and no person can answer the boys
argument. The practices are both
wrong, or they are both right. Wt-

A MODEL SCHOOL TEACHER.

A tolerably athletic young man
took certain school to teach years
ago In western New York, after
number of pedagogues had tried it
and given it up in despair. The big
boys had driven the teachers away
invariably and the Encouragement
was SO complete the first day that
they were not willing to undertake a
second edition.
This young man took hold with a
full knowledge of the difficulty, and
with hope that he could succeed.
He was mild hammered, and he op-
ened the school the first day with
pleading smile on his lips that made
even the small boys reckless. He
was taking the names of the children,
and progressed without difficulty un-
til he came to John Tarbox, the ring
leader of the unruly ones, and the
boy who always gave the signal for
s'trouncing the master"
The new teacher approached him
with a sweet smile on his face, and
said:
"Now, will you tell me your name,
please?"
The boy leaned back in his seat,
put his feet over the top of the desk,
and looked cross-eyed at the new
teacher while all the school roared.
"Please tell me your name," re-
peated the teacher pleadingly, and
without noticing his rudeness.
"Wal," drawled the fellow, "some-
times they call me Bob, and some
times they call me Pete, and some
times they call me somethin else, but
you better not call me anything"
The mild looking teacher had been
expecting this; there he had the ad-
vantage. He had prepared himself
for fight, not fight for a minute,
but for an hour, or a day if need be;
he had been in manner trained for
it, and so, just as the last words were
out of the boys mouth, he dealt the
big lubber a blow between the eyes,
that stunned him, and then grasping
him by the collar dragged him head
long over the seats, stood him up on
the floor with a jam, and thundered
out -
''What is your name?'
"John Tarbox 70 exclaimed the
boy, promptly, and with his eyes
fairly bullying from his head.
''Very well. Take your seat John"
said the teacher. And John took it.
There was no more difficulty, and
at the end of the season that school
was said to be the best in the country.

"Do you know who this ere dret-
full sinner is in oVr midst? Brethering
and sisters, I'm the MANI"
GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Wounds given to honor never heal.
Never accuse others to excuse
yourself.
He that sips on many arts, drinks
of none.
Every great passion is but pro-
longed hope.
He who lives but for himself lives
but for little thing.
Our acts make or mar us; we are
the children of our own deeds.
Human government is imperfect
because human nature is.
Fiction pleases the more in pro-
portion as it resembles truth.
Innocence is like polished armour,
it adorns and defends.
To count but few things necessary
is the foundation of many virtues.
Happiness is like the statue of Isis,
whose veil no mortal ever raised.
Whose keepeth his mouth and his
tongue keepeth his soul from trouble.
To succeed one must sometimes be
very bold, and sometimes very pru-
dent.
Sincerity is the way to heaven. To
think how to be sincere is the way of
man.
There is no knife that cuts so
sharply and with such poisoned blade
as treachery.
AS to troubles, who expects to find
cherries without stones, or roses with
out thorns?
Vanity keeps persons in favor with
themselves who are out of favor with
all others.
Religion is not thing of noise and
spasm, but of silent self-sacrifice and
quiet growth.
Live on what you have; live if you
can on less do not borrow, for vani-
ty will end in shame.
If you had the abilities of all the
great men, past and present, you
could do nothing well, without sim
cerely meaning it, and setting about
it.
Many persons fancy themselves
friendly when they are only offlcious.
They counsel not so much that they
should become wise, as that they
should be recognized as teachers of
wisdom.
Verify, verify, travellers have seen
many idols in many countries; but
no human eyes have ever seen more
daring, gross, and shocking images
of the Divine nature than we crea- /
lures of the dust make in our own
likenesses of our own bad passions.
Christianity means to the merchant
that he should be honest; to the
judge that he should be just; to the
servant, that he should be faithful;
to the school-boy, that he should be
diligent; to the street-sweeper, that
he should sweep clean; to every
worker that his work shall be we'll
done.
There is s'divine discomfort"
which lies at the root of all improve
ment and without which we should
stagnate. The Incidence which Graves
nothing but quiet, the stupidity which
sees nothing to hope or to work for,
and the vanity which is self-satisfed
through ignorance of better things
are all foes TO happiness and clogs
upon progress.
