voice, "I forgive you" and great tear dropped on his brown hand.
 "Hester!" bending over her, are you-2 But no, you can't be sorry I am going. It is because you are not strong, and I have tired you."
 He dropped on one knee beside the hammock, so that his face was on level with hers, and he saw that her long lashes were wet.
 "You would not care to have me stay, Hester, would you? Don't you really dislike and despise me after all?"
 She shook her head.
 "But, Hester, 1t can't be; you feel sorry for me, perhaps, but if I stay, it must be forever. never could brace myself up to another parting"
 She turned her flushed face from his earnest gaze, but very soft and low he caught the words, "Stay, Jack." ."-Er- change.

Eat With Comfort and Be Happy.

It is by no means uncertain, but, on the contrary, well-ascertained fact, that upon the well-being of mans stomach depends that modicum of hap piness which is vouchsafed to him in this world. Dyspepsia, the foe of all others to the stomach's tranquility, and most to be dreaded, is a complaint to the preliminary relief and eventual cure of which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted. It enables those who use it with reasonable de- gree of persistence to eat with relish, because it imparts healthful appe- tite; to digest with ease, because it strengthens the stomach; and to assim- ilate the food which is eaten and digested, thus benefiting health, promoting flesh and sustaining the exercise of the physical and mental faculties. It, moreover, facilitates the secretion of healthy bile, actuates without discomfort the habit of body, and tends, when taken upon retiring, to produce healthy slumber. Malaria is conquered by it.

THE DAY DARK AND DREARY.
BY l.. L. D..

Over and over again those words Flashed through my weary mind, I thought of the dark, dark days oflife, Which had left no light behind. The wind blew the rain in moaning blasts, The sky was overshadowed with night But darker than this were the days of the
 past, Without one pale gleam of light. Oh cruel and unkind memory, Why bring up the mournful past And embltter the present time of life And on 1t those shadows cast? Is there not in the world enough of pain, Enough of sorrow, enough of strife, Enough of toll with little gain. And more than the brightness in every life? Why should some have riches and others be
 poor?
 Why should some have health and others be
 weak?
 Why should some have foes, and others more, Far more friends than they seem to seckf No blots on their life's bright book; And others who saw pain in every sight, In every step that they took. My life seemed as dark as the raIny day, The present was gloomy, the future dim; A gentle yoIce whispered in the sweetest way, "It will come not back again. ooh, fool sh dreamer! the future is yours, Make it bright with noble deeds Go forth, your life may be useful and pure, Look around you at others needs. "Strive to brighten their lives with passing
 word,
 Show some one lifes better way, BanIsh discomfort like a two-edged sword, 1t frightens your pleasures away. "Iife has it's cares it's struggles and paln, But mid sorrow there's pleasure and love, And the future holds the noblest gain In the bright, pure heaven above "GOd has His ways, they are not like yours, Seek not to find them out. His life alone is holy and pure, Earthly mourner, banish your doubt" The sweet voice ceased. raised my eyes. The clouds had parted and gone. 1 looked above to the glorious skies Where Gods "BoW of Peace" shone alone. Oh precious promise! Gods wisdom and love Banished the doubts from my heart, My thoughts flew beyond the bright clouds
 aDOve,
 To the home where I too had part Oh! borrowing, rCpiG;ng hearts he still Life's sands are ebbng fast. Go forth and lo the Masters will, He has promised you heaven at last.

Abuse of Privilege.
Robert J. Burdette, in Exchans

Robert J. Burdette, in Exchange
 "I will be frank and truthful with you, my darling," said George Him. seli, tenderly, "as always intend to be after we are married. You are not beautiful, but you have more good sense than all the pretty girls know put together"
 "And I, too. will be frank and truthful," replied Amanda Herself, for it was she. "You don't know as much as a last years birds nest, but you have larger mouth and keep it open longer at time than any man I ever saw" She smiled like an angel when she ceased to speak, and some- how George Himself began to wonder whether this franking privilege couldn't be carried to excess.

A Secret

of good health is found in the regular movement of the bowels and perfect action of the Liver. These organs were intended by nature to remove from the system all impurities. Ifyou are constipated, you offer standing invitation" to whole family ot dis eases and irregularities, which will surely be accepted" and you will have guests unwelcome and deter mined. All these unhappy conditions may be averted by the timely use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pel- lets. Powerful for the effectual regu- lation of the bowels and Liver, estab- fishing healthy action of the entire wonderful organism with which we are created.

Vigor and Vitality

Are quickly given to every part of the

The stomach is toned and strengthened, the appetite restored. The kidneys and liver are reused and invigorated. The brain is refreshed, the mind made clear and ready for work. Try it.

LOVE AND LIFE.
BY BENNETT BELLMAN.

Oh, immortal gods thus giving Mortal souls their breath, Life without love is not living, 'Tis but living death. Then, oh soul beloved, hear me, have watched longi Turn thou till feel thee near ne, Hearken to my song. Take my lips, my lords, for kisses, Feel me thine at last, Till love knows what heavens bliss is, Ere brief life be past. Oh, immortal gods, thus giving Mortal souls their breath, Life without love is not living, 'Tis but living death.

 For a week afterward Uncle Ike's face beamed with happiness and hope. And as I had no particular need of him just then, allowed him to spend the greater part of his time down at the cabin, where he busied himself making things nice and comfortable against Mandy's arrival.
 Every day, when the train stopped at the station a half.mile away, he would mount his old gray mule and ride down the road to meet his "ole 'oman," who he was sssartin'' would come on that very train and if he al- ways came back crest- fallen and dis appointed, 1t would be only to brighten up again the next day. And SO for many weeks he worked on, always patient and uncomplain- ing, and seldom expressing doubt as to Mandy's final coming. But I knew that he was beginning to lose hope, and when found him doing somethlng that he confessed to have just remem- bered, was sure he was only working to drive away his gloomy thoughts. The summer came, and with the warm, sweet days Uncle Ike grew moody and restless, and I noticed that he no longer sang at his work. Only at night would he take his banjo, and,

How THE Independent or Mugwump

How THE Independent or Mugwump
vote will be cast this year is plainly
stated by 'Harper's Weekly" which
we take to be an honest and accurate au-
thority on this point. 1t says that
while the Independents constitute an i'm
portant factor in the politics of the
country-so important in fact that they
"make and dissolve parties," and will
decide the Forthcoming clection--they
are not themselves party in the ordi-
nary sense of the term, but are econ
stantly changing body"
In other words, many of those who
voted for Cleveland in 1884, will vote
against him in 1888, and many who op-
posed him four years ago will support
him now. Issues have since changed
and the attitude of the Independents
is modified accordingly. The result, we
are told, will be about as follows:
The larger part, in our opinion, will probably
vote for Mr.. Cleveland, but there are many who
were very pronounced in opposition TO Mr..
Blaine, who, for various reasons, will now sup
port General Harrison. Meanwhile there is a
large body Of opponents of Mr. Cleveland in
1854 who have seen that general disaster did
not follow his election. who are satisfied with
the general course Of his Administration, who
are happily aware of the sound and promising
prosperity OF the country, who upon the main
issue Ctarif reform) agree with the President
and who deprecate the consequences of party
change Of Administration. This large body will
vote for the President.

THE HoME-BouND HOST.

The sound of a host advancing,
Tramp! tramp tramp
Under the windy flicker
And dare Of the evening lamp,
Under the steady whiteness
OF the clear electric light,
The sound Of an army marching
Is In the streets tonight.
Not to the clamor of bug'es,
Nor the stormy heat of drums,
Not 10 the battles tocsin,
The iubllant army comes.
A sweeter music summons
And thrills along the line,
Though each for himself may hear IL,
And make TO the next no sign.
The patter OF tiny footballs
That run TO an open door,
The mothers tender singing,
Her step on the nursery floor,
The bo, ish shout of welcome,
The glrlish ripple of glee,
AT the click in the guarded portal
or the home'bound fathers key.
This is the army's music;
Cheerily calls goodnight
The merry voice OF the comrade
As he passes out Of sight
into the heart OF the household
When the days long work Is done,
Ann WIG ana bairns are waiting
With kiss for their dearest one,
Under the windy flicker
And tare Of tho evening lamp
hear a host advancing
WIN steady and resolute tramp
Ost OF the strong and gentle,
a tlr0ng OF the brave and true,
Dear little wives aud mothers,
hastening home 20 you
