The Heavenly Shepherd.

Deep in the midnight that preceded
the festival of Spring, at which the two
first sons of the human race were to
bring thank-offering to the Creator,
their mother saw in sleep a wondrous
dream. The white roses, which her
younger SON had planted around his altar,
were changed to blood-stained roses, and
more fully blown, such as she had never
before seen. She tried to pluck them,
but they withered beneath her touch.
Upon the altar, whereon milk alone was
the principal offering, now lay bleed.
ing lamb. Voices of lamentation were
heard around, and amid them one voice
of despair, till at last all died away into
tones of melody, such as she had never
heard before.
And beautiful plain lay before her
more beautiful even than the Paradise of
her youth, and upon it wandered, in the
likeness of her son, a shepherd clad in
white. The red roses were in his hair,
and in his hand he held harp, from
which those tones Of melody came forth.
He turned affectionately towards her
began to approach-and vanished.
With him vanished the dream.
And as the mother awoke, she saw the
day.dawn red and blood-like and she
went forth with heavy heart to the ics.
tival of the thankofering.
The brothers brought their offerings;
and their parents returned homeward.
But at evening their younger son came
not back. Full of anxiety, the mother
sought for him, and found only his scat:
tered and mournful herd. He himself
lay all bloody by the altar; the roses
were stained with his blood, and The
agonizing voice of Cain rang loud from
a neighboriug cavern.
Senseless she sank upon the corpse OF
her son, and second time the vision
appeared to her. The she. herd whom
she saw in that new paradise, was Ter

sweet tones resounded from his harp;
and he sweetly sang to her, "Look up

The vision disappeared; and Evearose

of her son. And on the morrow, when
she had bedewed him with her tears, and
crowned him with the roses of the altar,
his father aud mother buried him by the

SPRIN NG

Is the season in which bad or poisoned
blood is most apt to show itself. Nature, at
this juncture, needs something to assist it
in throwing off the impurities which have
collected by the sluggish circulation Of
blood during the cold winter months.
Swift's Specific is natures great helper, as
it is purely vegetable Alternative and tonic.
Rev. l.. B. Paine, Macon, Ca, writes;
"We have been using Swift's Specific at the
orphans home as remedy for blood COM
plants, and as a general health tonic, and
haye had remarkable results from its use
on the children and employees of the .insti,
tuition. 1t is such an excellent tonic, and
keeps the blood so pure, that the system is
less liable to disease It has cured some of
our children of Scrofula."
w. H. Gilbert, druggist, Albany, Ga,
writes: I'VE are selling large quantities of
general health tonic, and with the best re-
tive and cure for Malaria. There are many
remarkable evidences of its merit in this
section"
