"The Blue and the Gray"

Recently two Methodist ministers,
one of Maine the other of Virginia,
happened to meet at conference Of
their church, and, after forming a
friendship. discovered that during
the late civil war they had fought
against each other in every battle in
which either had been engaged.
Young men they were then, hardly
out of their teens, and how little did
they suspect that each was aiming
his bullet at heart destined to be
dear to his own! Visits followed. and
these ministers each found that his
experience on one side during the war
when joined with that of his friend on
the other, gained a significance and
interest it had not before; each pos
scssed the half of whole story, and
simultaneously arose in their minds
the desire that this whole story should
be told. The result is that there has
been prepared book, which will soon
be published : entitled 'The Blue and
the gray, its chapters written alter
nately by the Rev. Mr.. Garrish, of
Bangor, Me-, and the Rev. John S.
Hutchinson, of Fredericksburg, Va,

Swept into the Stream.
One Thousand Acres of Land and Right ISn,a,
of Ro01-S

of Bears"
On the deck of a: big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating by
sweep of his arm the waters the boat was
passing over, he said to a passenger from the
North: ''When 1 was twelve years old killed
my first bear on new plantation my father
was then cutting out of a forest that grew di-
rectly over the waters of this bend. That was
mighty good plantation, and there was right
smart of bears there, too. But that one thou
sand acres of land went into the Mississippi
years ago"
1t is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests of youthful hope, woTnanly
beauty and manly strength are swept in the
same way every year into the great, tHrbid tor
rent of disease and death. Yet it should not
be SO. That it is so is disgrace as well as
loss. People are largely too careless or too
stupid to defend their own intercsts-the most
precious of which is health. That gone all is
gone. Disease is simple, but to rccklcssucss or
ignorance the simplest things might as well be
complex as proposition in Comic Sections
AS the huge Western rivers. which so often
flood the cities along their Shores arise in a few
mountain springs. so all our ailments can be
traced to impure blood and small group of
disordcrcd organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease is PARKER'S TONIC. It goes to the
sources of pain and weakness. In response to
its action. the liver. kidneys, stomach and heart
begin their work 0fresh. and disease is driven
out. The tonic is not, however an intoXicant
but cures desire for strong drink. Have you
dyspepsia, rheumatism. or troubles which have
refused to yield TO other agents? Here is your
help.

Chas. Triplctt O'FerralI, the mem
Der of the present Congress from the
seventh Virginia districtis is one of the
earliest beginners of public life on
record. lie was born in Frederick
county, October 21st, 1910. His pa
ternal grandparents were from the
green Isle of Erin. At the age of
fifteen he was appointed Clerk Of the
Circuit Court of Morgan county by
Judge Richard Parker, and at the age
of eighteen he was elected Clerk Of
County Court by the people Of Nor
gan county. He volunteered and
served gallantly through the war, and
was wounded several times, and e.
nnlly shot through the lungs and left
for dead, and had the pleasure of
reading his own obituary. After the
war he studied law at Washington
College, and located in Harrisonburg.
In 1871 he was elected to the Legis-
lature, and in 1873 elected County
Judge of Rockingham county.

" wouldn't be such baby as to

Z" don't call it babyish to keep

the obedient boy, beautiful light
glowing in his blue eyes. 4 call
that manly; and the boy who don't
keep his word to her will never keep
it to any one else-you see if he
does;" and he hurried away to his
cottage home.
Thirty years have passed since
those boys played on the common,
Charlie Gray is prosperous business
man in great city, and his mercan-
tile friends say of him that his word

he acquired such reputation. "I

matter how great temptation, and
the habits formed then have clung to
me through life."

GENERAL LANeUoR. Among the
list Of distinguished military heroes
the names of General Languor or
Debility do not appear. Yet, it is .
we'll authenticated fact, that there are
times when the pulse lice low in the
bosom and beats fcebly in the arteries.
The spirit of the individual is sleepy,
and the whole tendency Of the body
is toward rest and decay. at such
times and during such seasons, the
system needs toning up by the use OF
some good and pure tonic which will
restore the organs to the wonted state.
Such tonic is found in Perunn, which
is acknowledged by all to be the very
thing to put these famous generals to
rout, and TO ultimately conquer them.
Read the following testimonial, which
shows in what estimation PerunG is
held, and then send for the book en-

PoETIcAL.
The Lost Chord.

sehted one day at the organ,
was weary and i'll at ease
And my fingers wsnder'd idly
Over the noisy keys.
I know not what I was playing,
Or what was dreaming then;
But struck one chord of music,
Like the sound of a great amen
Like the sound of great amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the cloec of an angels psalm;
And 1t lay on my fever'd spirit
With q touch of infinite calm.
1tquieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked oil perplexing meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence,
AS if it were 10th to cease.
1have sought, but seek It vainly,
That one lost chord divine.
Which came from the soul of the organ,
And entered into mine.
It may be that deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again
1t may be that only in heav'n
shall hear that grand amen.
It may be that deaths bright angel
VIII speak in that chord again;
1t may be that only In leav'n
shall hear that grand amen.
