report, but that it had been decided TO

MOTHERS PRAYER.
BY CAPTAIN JACK CRAWFORD.

In the dreamy hour of midnight,
When the camp S asleep and still,
Not sound save ripping streamIets
Or the voice of whip-pOor-will,
Then | think of dear, loved faces
As | steal around my beat
Think of other scenes and places,
And mothers voice so sweet
Mother, who in days of childhood
Prayed as mothers only pray,
Guard his footsteps in the wildwood,
Let him not be lead astray;"
And when dangers hOvered over me,
When my life was full of cares,
Then sweet form passed before me,
And l thought of mothor's prayers.
Mothers prayers-ah! sacred memory;
can hear a sweet voice now,
As, while on her death-bed lying,
With her hand upon my brow,
Calling for Saviour's blessing,
Ere she climed the golden stairs
There s a sting for all transgressing
When l think of mothers prayers.
And l made her one dear promise
o. thank heaven We kept it, too;
Yes, l promised God and mother
To the pledge l would be true;
Though a hundred times the tempter
Every day throws out his snares,
l can boldly answer mo, sir!''
When think of mothers prayers.
And while here l tell the story
Why my boyhood's days were sad,
Is there not some one before me
Who will make mother glad
Swell her heart with fond emotions,
Drive away life's bItterests cares?
Sign and keep the pledge for mother;
Heed thy mothers earnest prayers.
o, my comrades, do not drink it;
Think OF all your mother said
While upon her death-bed lying
Or. perhaps, she is not dead?
o. do NJ kill her, then, pray you,
She has got enough of cares;
Say you wont, and Heaven will help you
If you think of mothers prayers.

THE unprecedented popularitv of

The unprecedented popularity of
"Ben-Hur," now circulating its one
hundred and forty-ninth thousand,
renders exceptionally interesting the
article on 1.-THE BoYhO0d of Christi
(by the author of that Tale Of the
CHRISTI, which IL the leading attrac-
ton Of the December Harper's. If
any one can enlighten us on the unfe-
corded youth of that sublime life 1t is
the writer, who has woven about his
manhood the most realistic story that
has ever dealt with sacred themes
story so carefully studied In all the in.
tricate detail of Roman, Grecian, and
Jewish life in the years Of its prepara-
ton in America, that when General
Wallace afterward visited the scenes
depicted he had no occasion to change
q word. Uncle Midas, the rich and
hale old gentleman, whose narrative
of ChIist's youthful life charms his
young listeners away from their
Christmas festivities. may be taken a.
the generals ideal of glorified old age.
The fertile experiences of Uncle Midas
are clearly photographed, for the
author describes himself in writing
HE had led busy life: he had been
a lawyer, a soldier, an author, and a
traveller; he had dabbled in art, d.
plomacy, and politics." The exquisite
illustrations are all original, being
made specially for this article by two
French artists-Alfred BramtOt and
and Sue o. Merson. The former is q
favorite pupil of Bougereau, and both
have caught the subtitle, sympathetic
tone of that masters work. A more
notable combination of charming de-
scription and delicate art has never
graced q magazine.

how easily rheumatism begins, and how
insidiously it grows in the system, until
one Is startled to find himself its victim
in either the acute or chronic form. He
then learns the fearful tenacity Of its
grip and the utter powerlessness of the
ordinary remedies to give relief.
Probably to no disease have physicians
given more study, and none has more
completely baff1ed their efforts to provide
. specific; and until Athlophoros was dis
covered there was no medicine which
would surely cure rheumatism, neuralgia
and nervous or sick headache. Thousands
of testimonials like the following prove
beyond question that Athlophoros is the
only reliable remedy, and that it will do
al that is claimed for it.
Englewood, Kansas.
Athlophoros has done me more good than
all other medicine put together, for I was
q great sufferer from rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, and can say to-day, I am free from
both complaints. Mrs. MARIA STONE.
W. s. Hopkina, ,179. C. Avenue, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa says: Ny wife and daugh-
ter were both stricken with inHammatory
rheumatism at the same time. The lower
limbs were much swollen; thepain seemed
much beyond endurance; sleep was out of
the question; they suffered 50 much that
to move or even touch the sheet on the
bed would cause the most violent pain.
They were confined to the bed four weeks.
During that time and previous I bought
many kinds of medicine, then I employed

/ heard of Athlophoros. I bought bottle
at once, and am glad to ssy in . very short
