THE PASSING OF BoAH.
no Wants to Take a Vote and liz SmOt
With SanI-

With Sand-Bags.
And it came to pass that after fou
years were expired, at the time tina
Kings go out to battle in the land O
the Amman Rekahns, that Boah thu
Gaddite, the son of Agun, rode to ant
fro in the chariots of the Smashup
Waydown & Breaknecl and spakt
unto all men, and sat in the seat of the
scornful, and got in the way of the
sinner.
For all the sons of men feared him
and fled before his face; for the staff Of
his tongue was as the belt of a fly
wheel, and he smote all the coasts OF
Amman Rekah with an eight-day chin
which he kept by him.
And it was SO that about the tenth
day Of the month of Ralliz, after the
beginning of the feast of Hoo-Raw,
that Boah the Gaddite went into the
chariot of the Smo-Kabs, as thou
| contest to the fOrds of Har Lem, bv
way of Al-Bani, which is, by interpre-
| tation, Pie.
And Boah, the sou of Agun, arose in
the chariot, and spake in loud voice.
saying:
"Hear we me, men of Amman Rekah,
and all who dwell in the tents Of
Grovah, and We sons of Benjamin, and
all We who dwell by the water Brooks
of Prohi-Bishon; go to, let us take a
vote"
And certain sons of Belial Knocked
him and said: May, but rather let US
take a drink"
But Boah, the son of Agun, would
not hearken unto them, but spake all
the more vehemently, and cried:
'tNay, but will take vete.''
And the sons of Benjamin, and all
the children of Grovah, and all the
mighty men of Fisk, which is pleas
ant land and a large, where there are
palm trees and wells of living waters:
and all the tribes of Mugwump, which
is goody-goodly land, a land that
foweth with milk and water, rose I'D
and cried:
care thy servants dogs and one
thing and another, that they should
stand this sort of thing more than
three or four times a minute all
through the campaign?n
And Hadarazzar, the Ethiopian, fell
upon him and cut him bad, and the
sons of Belial smote him with sand
bags, and Gran Paw, the husbandman,
struck him with the hinder end of an
exceeding hard and heavy,
and all who could reach him got hold
OF him and gave him one for luck, and
spoiled the chariot with him, for there
was much spoil in him.
And there was quiet in the land for
ten minutes. And all the land of Am
nah Rekah rebelled against the house
Of Boah unto this day.-Burdctte, IN

Proof. Better Than Assertion,

With such proof as the following letter
from W. II. Dean, of No. 27S Seventh street,
New York, it is not necessary to make the
bare assertion that ALLcocK's Porous
PLAsTERs cure lumbaso Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago l was taken with q
very violent pain in the small of my back.
1t was so severe that I could hardly
breathe; every movement caused great
agony. finally found out it was lumbago.
Being entirely helpless, a friend sent to a
druggist and got two ALLcoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs; these were well warmed and
applied to my back, one above the other
In half an hour, to my great delight and
surprise, found the pain began to abate.
In two hours was able to walk out and
attend to my business, the pain being al
most gone. Next day was all right but
continued wearing the plasters for a week.

a LITTLE.

So little made me glad for I was young:
Flowers, a sunset books, friend or two,
Gray skies with scanty sunshine piercing
through
How little made me glad when was young.
30 little makes me happy, now I'm old;
Your hand in mine, dear heart, here by the
fire;
The children grown into our hearts desire:
How little keeps us happy when we're old!
And yet, between the little then and now,
What worlds OF life, of thought and feeling
keen'
What spiritual depths and heights unseenI
All me! between the little then and now
For little things seem mighty when we're
young;
Then we rush onward through the changing
years,
Testing the gamut OF all smiles and tears
Till mighty things seem little; we are old

still air with a strength and beauty that
surprised me.
'He has found comfort in his banjo
tonight" I thought, as the last notes
died away. and I saw the light go out in
the little cabin.
The cabin is empty now, for in the
little garden where the mint and holly
hooks grow, Uncle Ike is lying at rest.
