The Experience of Mrs. Peters.

Mrs Peters had ills,
Mrs Peters had chills,
Mrs. Peters was sure she was going to die;
They dosed her with pills,
With powders and sgUills,
With remedies wet, and with remedies dry.
Many medicines lured her,
But none of them cured her,
Their names aud their number nobody could tell;
And she soon might have died,
But some pellets were tried,
That acted like magic, and then she got well.
The magic Pellets were DR.. Pieree's Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets the original Little Liver

wouldn't be without them.

10. Too late.
Ward, in "View Of the Hindoos, " says:

Ward in "VieW Of the Hindoos," says:
cat a marriage the procession of which saw
some years ago, the bridegroom came from dis
lance, and the bride lived at Serampore, to which
place the bridegroom was to come by water. After
waiting two hours at length, near midnight, il
announced, as if in the very words Of Scripture:
Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to
meet him All the persons employed now lighted
their lamps, and ran with them IN their hands to
fiji up their stations in the procession. Some of
them had lost their lamps and were unprepaFed
aud it then too late TO seek them, and the
alcade moved forward TO the house of the BRIDE at
which place the company entered large and
spendidly illuminated area before the house, COW
cred with an awning, where q great multitude Of
friends dressed III their best apparel were seated
upon mats. The bridegroom was carried In the
Rrgas of a friend aud placed upon superb seat IN
the midst Of the canopy, where he sat a short time
and then went into the house, the door of which
was Immediately guarded by Sepoys / and others
expostulated with the dooTkeeper but in vain.
Never was ! SO struck with our Lords beautiful
parable as this moment, And the door was shut
1 was exceedingly anxious 10 be present while the
marriage formulas were repeated, but was obliged
TO depart IN disappointment"
The parable of the 10 virgins has general
application. In part it was meant to teach prep
araLiOn for the destruction of Jerusalem. It
teaches each one in all time to be INCREASINGLY
ready, since he does not know when the BRIDE
groom shall return, nor when he himself shall
be called from life. And none know when
human affairs shall end. The great thought
impressed is the need of permanent piety-
piety without fluctuations, without vacations !;
thoughtfulness instead of giddiness, as prin-
ciple of life-the realization of the deep sgnifi-
canoe of our earthly pilgrimage. For all prac-
teal purposes we may say that fitness to live
devoutly before decease is the best preparation
for either the return of Christ or for our own
calls by death.
Suggestions:
1. Watch. This is the drift of the entire
parable. The righteous are scarcely saved
Even they slumbered. (V.5.)
2. Forethought is duty. We should antlei-

WEST vIRciNiA'S CHANCE.

West Virginia's boom seems to be
one that is already beginning to make
itself felt. The attention of the peo-
pie i'm other States is being drawn to
the advantages we possess, and from
all sections we hear of the interest felt
in her attractions. The spirit of in
quiry is awakened very generally
and that is all that West Virginia
wants. For if investigation is made
as to the advantages of her situation,
her climate, her resources and her
people, those who make such investi-
CATION need not be long in deciding
that in these and hundreds of other
points our State is all that could be
desired. No deception is necessary to
attract capital or immigration to West
Virginia All that is needed is truth
full presentation of her claims to the
advantages she possesses.
The people of the State have this
matter in their own hands now. If
the counties will go to work and carry
out the plans of the recent State meet
ing and work unitedly and earnestly
it will be very short time until the
good effects will be felt. West Nir-
ginia is great State, and the sooner
the rest of the world finds it out the
better it will be for the rest of the
world and West Virginia

TWENTY EIGHT STORY BUILDING.

l.. s. Burlington, an architect of
Minneapolis, has secured patents on
an invention which he thinks will rev
olutionize the world of building. By
it, he claims, buildings can be con
structed of any desired height. The
buildings will be entirely of iron, start
ing from a foundation like the base of
a bridge pier, diminishing in size as
they ascend. They are to be braced
.diagonally by iron lattice girders with
horizontal iron beams. The covering
is also 10 be of iron, and outside of
this may be ornamental sheathing of
stone, terra Gotta, or anything else.
A syndicate of capitalists is backing
his system, and will erect i'll that city
a building 80 feet square by 500 feet
and twenty-eight stories high. Arch
itect Burlington says: IF a bridge can
be built 700 or 800 feet into space from
a pier. what is TO hinder us going as
high as we choose? The syndicate
which is backing me includes some of
the best men in the city, who control
plenty of capital, and as soon as a few
details are settled we shall publish our
plans"

THE TARIFF SITUATION.

The tariff bill of the Ways and
Means Committee was reported to the
House of Representatives on Monday
by Chairman Mills. a minority re-
port was presented at the same time
by Mr.. Mckinley for the Republicans,
which attacked the provisions of the
bill Unfortunately. The prospects
for the ultimate passage of the tariff
bill seem to be bright at present. The
opposition acknowledge that they are
very much afraid that they will not be
able TO prevent it from becoming a
law, but they are using every means
in their power to defeat it. 1t is said
that Mr. Randall and few followers
who claim to be Democrats will com
bine with the Republicans in opposing
the bill, but it is thought that enough
Republicans will vote with the Demo
cratic majority to pass the measure
substantially as it is reported from the
Committee.
