Man has but a short time TO live !;
hut it is long enough to sow seeds
that will yield immorta! harvests of
Joy or woe. None lives too long
who lives Alright none dies too soon
who has met death in the path Of
duty. Virtues measure is its inten-
sity rather than its duration. He
who at some critical moment has
saved uationis remembered forever,
though nothing else of his life be ey-
err heard of.-Er.

Mr.. 6. a. Proehl, New Portage, Sum-

grew worse, and turned to liberation of
the womb, and was treated for that two
years, but she grew worse and the doctor
gave her up. Then employed DR.. I'm

She was paralyzed; she had lost all of the

could not walk for nearly two years.

sleeping Love-,

A fine steel engraving of Perault's
charming picture, Sleeping Love"
has been offered by the publishers of
GoDEY's LADY's Book to every new
subscriber to the magazine for the
year 1885. The plate is very artistic
one, beautifully printed on thick pa
per of size suitable for handsome
framing. The subject, little dim
pied Love- adorned with nothing but
his baby charms, is lying on a soft
grassy couch fast asleep among the
wild flowers, his round, white limbs
approaching the cool umbrage of a
pond of water lilies. One little chubby
hand rests lightly on his unstrung bow,
which is lying under him, while the
other hand is softly pressed upon his
cheek. the plump fingers threading the
wavy masses of his floating hair. I'm
der the right arm and shoulder one
little downy wing is snugly tucked
away, while the OTHER peeps up from
the back with pretty suggestiveness.
Overhead are dropping, shadowy
boughs covered with rich foliage, and
the back ground reveals deep perspec-
tive of cool forest shade. The picture
is one of striking simplicity, yet ad-
mirable compost on, and the figure of
the Sleeping Love" himself, with
dropping eyelids and softly parted lips
that offset therounded beauty of baby
hood, is one of the prettiest you could
well conceive of. Messrs j. II. Haul
enbeek Il Co., proprietors of Godey's
LGdy's Book, have produced this
charming picture most successfully.
IL is much admired by some of the
most fastidious connoisseurs.

The congregation at the M. E.
Church is gradually increasing, and
there is no doubt but that the salary
voted, will be raised without diff
Guilty. A little attention by the officers
of the Church to fixing the building
so that it would he comfortable, might
not come amiss. If the time for servi-
ces was arranged so that they would
not interfere with christian dining
hours, it would cause larger attend
ance at both church and Sabbath
School. Further, little time given
to organizing quoir and practising,
would add much to the effectiveness
of the service, and make it more inter
esting.

How He Got Thin.

Speaking of Bismark recalls the fact
that he has recently got rid of much of
his fat by following very simple re-
ceipt. He never ate and drank at the
same time. Two hours would inter
vene between the eating and the
drinking; but, at the same time, his
food contained little sugar or starch,
and in his drinks he was careful TO
confine himself to hitter beers. dry
wines, and water. Malt liquors and
wines with sugar in them are fatten-
ing.

The Chesaning Argus says: 1T is
reported that there has been one hum
dred and thirty-hve divorce cases
brought before the jackson county
court in the past two months. The
causes of which it is alleged, grew
out of rink fiirtations. If this, or half
of it. be true I'VE may well say: "Oh"l
rink where is thy social blighting
yictoryT "Oh"l dancing where is
thy moral sting2" Grayling is said to
suffer from the same cause. Green
eyed jealousy is the same the world
over.

The bell on the school house is dis
grace to the city, and the manner in
which it is tolled is enough to give sen
sitive people the horrors. Strangers I'M
acquainted with the peculiar ideas
of the Board, or whoever instructed
the ringer, would presume that there
was a pestilence prevailing, and a
continuous procession on its wsy to
the cemetery. A now bell is needed.
There are reasonable grounds for
the belief that the log crop of Michigan
will be reduced at least 40 per cent, as
compared with that of last year. The
superabundence of men for the woods
and the reduction in the sales of lum-
Der supplies by all the establishments
in the valley engaged in that business
is sufficient evidence that curtailment
by the operators this season is not all
mere pretense, as it has usually
been heretofore. = Lunbermans Ga
