Sarah, Christ did well when he wept for
Lazarus, and the last man want to see come
anywhere near ms when I have any kind OF
strouble is worldly philosopher.
Again remark that those persons are in
competent for the work OF comfort bearing
who have nothing but can't to offer. There
are those who-have the idea that you must
,groan over the distressed and afflicted.
There are times in grief when one cheerful
face dawning on a mans soul is worth a
thousand dollars to him. Do not whine over
the afflicted. Take the promises of the Cos
pei, and utter them in manly tone. DO not
be afraid to smile if you feel like it. Do not
drive any more hearSeS through that poor
soul. Do not tell him the trouble was fore
ordained; it will not be any comfort to know
it was million years coming. II you want
to find splints for broken bone do not take
cast iron. Do not tell them it is Gods JUS
tice that weighs out grief. They want, now
to hear Of Gods tender mercy. In other
words do not give them aqua forts when
they need valerian.
Again, remark that those persons are poor
.comforters who have never had any trouble
themselves A larkSpur cannot lecture on
the nature OF q snowfake-it never saw c
snowflake; and those people who have al
ways lived in the summer OF prosperity cam
not talk to those who are frozen in disaster.
God keeps aged people in the world, l think,
for this very work OF sympathy. They nave
been through oil these trials. They know all
that. which irritates and all that which
soothes.
People who have not had trials themselves
cannot give comfort to others. They may
talk very beautifully, and they may give you
a great deal of poetic sentiment; but while
poetry is a perfume that smells sw set, it m axes
q very poor salve. If you havs grave in
your pathway, and somebody comes and

all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger alr-passages, but the thous-

When these are clogged and chok-

there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneu-

of the family of throat and nose and

bad. All ought to be got rid OF
There is just one sure way to get rid

She must try to be very cold and digniiied-
But wasn't ne going TO turns Why, her cry

Then she looked backed, and was fright
enel to see what distance she was away
from home And as she stood looking, now
at his tall form drawing uncons@sously away
from her. and then ut the distant lights of
her horne, the first hint of the desolation
that broods over millions Of hopeless hearts,
came ,r,on her soul. Her slippers were torn,
and wet with dew, and each step she took
bruised the tender feet that had never known
hurt or WEAKNESS. Her heavy masses of hair
had been shaken from their fastenings, and
hung at full length to her waist. She fam
cied herself some lost, friendless Magdalen,
for whom the world, that fawns on the for

blows And were there women who had TO

"Mr. Breton, charmed to see you" and
there was not the faintest trace of i'll humor
in his perfectly trained voice. The old gen.
tleman might have been the most opportune
of guests.
But his daughter had not been schooled
enough for such self control, and she started
to her feet as her parlor door opened, almost
in CONSERVATION. There was quite study
for character in the room at that moment.
CurTan had not arisen; his lips might have
been closed little tighter than usual, but
his face did not even reveal surprise. MIR.
Breton had reached the center of the room
before he saw whom Bertha had been enter

which he had no concern TO hide-snapping
his black eyes from the young lady who was
soon to be his sons wife to this weaver in the
mill, who did not seem so much out of place
in this fashionable parlor, either. The crisis
had come, and Bertha was entirely UMPIRE
pared for il. Her heart was futtering wildly,
and for the moment she wished she had never
lseen the man whose presence embarrassed
her. A moment before she had forgotten
there was such thing as wealth or rank,
ldevoutly confident such a man as her guest
could stand before kings; but the door had
lopened and let in the breath Of pride and
lcaste, scattering the halo about the poor
mans head. Suddenly she looked with new
repugnance at him she had just thought so

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world w live
in! Nature gives us grandeur Of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands
of means of enjoyment. We car desire
no better when in perfect health but
how often do the majority of people feel
like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged and worn out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof, that GREEN'S August
F7ovey', will make them free from dis
ease, as when born. Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint are the direct causes
of seventy-fiy per cent. of such mala-
dies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick
Headache, ~Costiveness, Nervous Pros
tration. Dizziness of the Head, Palpita-
ton of the Heart, and other distressing
symptoms. Three doses of Angasj
F7o1rcr will prove its wonderful effect
Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

Royalty Approval.

It takes the American girl to
dispe| the glamour which surrounds
royalty. The Mobile Register pub
fishes a letter from Miss Mary
Fearn, the daughter Of the United
States minister to Greece, to a
friend in Mobile. in which she
describes a ball held at her fathers
house in Athens and attended by
the Greek king. 1t was the second
time the king had ever been at a
private house in the evening, and
the minister's family rather dreaded
stiffness and formality which they
feared would mark the occasion,
"but," Miss Fearn goes on, "fotu'
nateIy for us, the king, who is
naturally a charming person, hap
pened to be in a particularly good
humor on this occasion. He circu
lated around the room in the most
informal manner, so much SO that
at one time | quite forgot hi:
presence, and in the midst of a wild
ga!lpp with one OF my yonng mid
dies / bumped right into him il
the most disrespectful manner as hi
was crossing the room. However
he only smiled and said: go on
that's the way to enjoy it"

Parents who lie awake nights
worrying about their daughters and
their daughters best young men
will thank the Judge for a kind

vance connects the parlor clock
with a "God Bless Our Home
motto on the wall. The machine
is set so that at IL o'clock the mot
to unfolds and this legend appears
Gas ont and dog unclaimed at

same time a lever connected with
