Thanksgiving dinner often. At last
Piggy had to carry his kiDky tail esle'
where, and sorely did he grunt over his
interrupted feast. Tommie, all out of
breath though he was, hurried for the
hammer and nails. Alas! all the ham,
mering in the world could not restore
the choice sweet turnips his mother
priced so highly. nor rsplast the other
vegetables which Mr.. Pig bad Hprooted
and devoured.
Mother did not scold. but she talked
very soberly to her boy about his naugh-
ty habit of forgetting. showing him how
often it led to absolute disobedience, as
it had done to-day. She read him the
parable of the father who had two sons,
one always saying, Il go. sir" but never
doing his fathers will. She also told
him that God had given him a memory,
and would one day ask him how he had
used it.
Tom went to school that afternoon
with several new ideas in his head. and
resolving as be truaged along. eating y
bright red apple his loving mother had
just given him. that he would try to RET
member hereafter that it was too mean
for anything to treat his mother so.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

A fool is stupidity gone to seed.
The winter of discomfort is the celdest
of all winters.
Not talking too much is really one
half of all the wisdom.
A very stubborn man is often wrong,
but seldom dishonest.
Even the sem blance of truth that is
in lie makes it stronger.
The burden which was thoughtlessly
taken up N ust be patiently borne.
We can hardly learn hum llity and ten
derness enough except by suffering.
Caution is generally composed of one
part of principle to two of policy.
Religion is the deepest study of life
and few become accomplished students
in it.
Grand temples are built of small
stones, and great lives are made up of
trifing events.
Kindness is slowed away in the heart
like rose leaves in drawer, to sweeten
every object around them.
There is nothing lower than hypocri-
sy. To profess friendship and act enmi-
ty is sure proof of total depravity.
The man who on discovering his er
rors acknowledges and corrects them, is
scarcely less entitled to our esteem than
if be had not erred.
Simple emotion will not suffice to ele-
vate the character or improve the life.
There must be power of self-denial,
strength of will, persevering effort.
Children hunger after new things and
new ideas. They will learn with pleas
ure from the lips of parents what they
deem drudgery to learn from books.
Work is your true remedy. If misfor-
tune hits you hard, you hit something
else hard Pitch into something with a
will. There's nothing like good, solid,
exhausting work to cure trouble.
If a bee stings you, will you go to the
hive and destroy it? Would not thou
sand come upon you? If you receive a
trifing injury do not go about the streets
proclaining it, and be anxious to avenge
it. Let it drop.

Neuralgia of the Face.

Capt. John Orr, Pearlington, Miss, has
been most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, at the
st. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, and
in less than a month was entirely relieved
of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch to any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner, SO Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard of. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
COHelculy IdSAlilSJ tCdIiiiSt JUL iiuS PAIN,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
well as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DIR. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PRRUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundly.

GO. SIN NO MORE.

THE Master wrote upon the ground,
The mocklng rabble closed around
High over TabOr's towering brow
The morning mist is climbing now.
The days bright shafts strike cie0i anu
keen
Against the crags OF GaroaIeue'
A zephyr pure as angels oreath
Breathes over blue Gennesaret'
And wild bees wake the mowers upon
The t lried plain Of Esdrelon;
And runs away the silver rills,
Noyn through the grassy Moab hills.
The woman stood within the place.
And veiled her frightened. sinful face
Across the Temples jewelled wall
The siantiDg beams Of sunshine fall;
The gentle Syrian summer breeze
Blows softly in the olive trees;
The early air hangs fresh and cool
Above Slloam's crystal pool;
And out beyond Gethsemane,
Where banks of valley-lilies be
Where cedar shadows yet lie deep,
The Jewish shepherds lead their sheep.
The Master lose from off the ground,
He saw the Tabble close around
He heard them notl Again be stood
Amid the holy sisterhood;
Amid the humble family,
Within the cot at Bethany;
Martha-patient, tender, sweet!
Nary.-at her Savior's feetl
He heard them not; He heard, instead,
Sad woman-moans around him-dead!
And saw his coming hour OF doom,
With WOMAN at the cross and tomb.
The woman stood within the place,
And hid her white and shameful face.
He saw His people stepped in guilt
The prophets blood at altar split;
He saw the Temple-gedly gem,
The glory of Jerusalem
That holy place-the mercy seat,
Polluted by Gnpriestly feetl
The great Shekinah fame grew dim
Between the wings of cherubim.
"Who hath no sin, and he alone"
The Master said, "may cast the stone.
The Master looked the crowd had gone
Like Hermon's dew before the dawn.
AS dusky spirits wing away
Far from the golden CLEAN of day
Each one had vanished from his place,
Nor showed his vile. accusing face.
81 Judge thee not! this is the door,
Go enter in and sin no morel
Who hither comes, though naught they
bring,
Shall find the Purifying Spring!
In garments clean forever be,
I am the Light-walk ye in Me!'
The woman kneeled within the place,
And bowed her softened, fearful face,
The night was passed. the stars had set,
The day stood over Olivet;
The first clear radiance of the sun
Lay pure on lofty Lebanonl
The cripple bathed his withered limb
Below Bethesda's bubbling brim,
The Levite lit the altar fires,
The temple harper struck his wires;
Ger cedarn grove, Ger stately palm,
Arose the Jewish morning psalm!

A Mothers Fatal Mistake.

BALTIMORE, MD.-Every Saturday, of this
city, has an account of sad accident, which
happened in family last week; little child
was threatened with Group, and the mother
gave it too large dose of cough mixture,
which undoubtedly contained opium, as the
died; the coroner spoke strongly on the dan
ger of such medicines, and remarked that the
new remedy-Red Star Cough Cure-is free
from opiates or poison, that the governor and
many public men of Maryland have warmly
endorsed it, and that physicians in hospitals
have adopted it in their treatment of throat
and lung troubles; it costs only 25c bottle

OF of Internal Revenue for South Caro-.
lima He is from the home of moon
shine whisky, where there has always
been organized resistance to the collec-
ton of revenue, and he was elected to
the Legislature on platform declaring
against The internal revenue laws. He
is the editor of the Pickens Sentinel,and
in that paper has denounced the arrest
and punishment of Illicit distillers, who
have always regarded the Sentinsl as
their organ. He has defended the mur-
der of revenue collectors while in the
performance OF their duty. Altogether
he seems to be a model man for the place
after the Democratic idea Of such things,
but If the charges should be substantial
the Senate may think differently.
