Advice 10 Mothers.

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should al
ways be used when children are cutting teeth.
1t relieves the little sufferer at once; it pro-
cnces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the
child from pain, and the little cherub awakes
as "bright as button" It is very pleasant to
taste. 1t soothes the child, softens the gums,
allays the pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy for diar-
rhsea, whether arising from teething or other
causes. Twenty-Five cents bottle.

be spoken of as wise and great, and
good. And this is all The near
est we ever come to the temple
crowned height of fame is this in
tense aspiration to enter its sacred
precinct, and breathe its enchanted
air. Many who could, by patient
toll and endeaver, gain the height
they look at so wistfully, ,falter, grow
disheartcncd, and then turn back
because the way is so steep and
rough, the work so hard. 1t is not
always the most gifted who win the

will, the steady purpose, the tireless
perseverance that laugh at opposi-

on, that gain the day, and win in
the bright fields of fair renown the

we have not wings, we cannot soar,
But we have feet to scale and climb
By slow degrees, by more and more,

LIES SETTING SUN.

I'm growing old; the hopes and fears
That waged AN ever varying strife
No more awaken smile and tears,
Disturbing my Serencr life
The ardent love, the jealous throc,
Which burned and ragged without sur
cease,
Have left me, and Il gcntler glow
OF sweet contentmcnt bring me peace.
Strong passion owns my reasons sway;
Calm pleasure come where iu~e's be-
stowed;
And quiet friendship soothes my way
Along lCc's peaceful autumn road.
No unknown future threatens i'll:
No fierce ambition drives me on
gaze from lifc's sublimcst hill
On dangers past and victories won
What though my natural powers decay
My lessening time makes less demand;
The labor done at close of day
The farmer resting views his land
And sees the harvest waiting fair.
The ridgy rows with plenty filled;
Sees fruitful fields crst burrrns bare,
The barren bare his hands have titled.
So looks life's landscape to my eyes;
My earthly work is nearly done,
\ calm comes to me from the skies.
As slowly sinks life's setting sun.
Jesse n. Lard.

from his work, and looked at the
pinched features, calm and unmoved
in slumber, he would throw himself
upon his bed and sob like a child.
The summer was over, and the
leaves were falling from the trees.
The "littlc mother" was ON her
death bed. Another withered leaf
was falling from the tree of life. A
doctor had been called i'll. He
shook his head, and taking the al
most crazed parent to one side, said:
There is no hope. Her spine
seems to have been injured. Did
she ever haye Il severe fall?"
The father said nothing. He could
say nothing. He felt as if cord
was drawn around his throat He
merely gasped for breath as the doc
tor turned and left the room.
Throwing himself on his knees
beside the low bed, he said asgently
as his rough voice would allow
Little mother, do you forgive
me?"
A pair of thin arms were thrown
around his neck, and with her old
time smile, she said:--
Dear, good papa, | forgave you
long ago."
Little darling, do you know me-"
he asked, perceiving queer look in
her eyes.
Promise me, papa, to-be-good
Observation-Disclosures"
A gasp and he was alone with his
dead. The heroic little soul had
found rest at last. The 'little moth
er's" cares and troubles were over.

ALONE IN THE WORLD,

The man who has no family ties,
no sympathizing companions, no
genial relations with his fellow-men,, +,
is very properly said to be "alone in
the world" But such utter isolation
can only be the result of will. Even
the unfortunate who has outlived
all who were nearest and dearest
to him, and can say with Logan,
Not a drop of my blood runs in
the veins of any living creature"
may find friends who will, in part
at loast, supply the places of the
dead. We hear sometimes of peo-
pie who have been soured by injus-
tice, retiring from the world. The
more fools they. The world can do
without them, but they cannot do
so well without the world. The
more they NOPE in solitude, the
more unhappy they must necessar-
lily become, for man is constitu-
tionally gregarious and social,
and cannot live Il hermit's life with
out violating the conditions upon
which his mental health depends.
Ihcmost terrible punishment which
the law can infiict upon criminal
is the living death of perpetual soli-
tary confinement. What downright
idiocy, then, it must be to seek in
loneliness Il balm for sorrow. 1t
will be said, perhaps, that the con-
solations of religion may be enjoyed
by those who abandon the active
duties OF life, and seclude themselves
from their fellow-men. We doubt
the truth ofthis theory. Religion
real religions active, social, bene-
ticient, not inert, morose and selfish
it seeks to soothe the sorrows of
Others, and not waste itself in idly
moping over its own grievances.
