Dear Bell: Pll write you a short letter To say Pm wonderfully better How much that means you ought to know, Who saw me just one month ago Thin, nervous, fretful, white as chalk Almost too weak to breathe or talk Head throbbing, as if fit for breaking, A weary, ever-present aching.

A TREAT ODE.

'"Scurious-like! e!" said the tree toad, stPve twitted for rain all day, And got up soon And I Ihollered till noon, But the sun just blazed away Till I just climbed in crawfish hole, Weary at heart and sick at soul ''Dozed away for an hour, And I tackled the thing agin; And sung, and sung, Till knowed my lung Was jest about give in; And then, thinks I, if it don't rain now There's nothin' in singin' anyhow. "Once in while some farmer Would come a-drivin' past, And he'd hear my cry
 And stop an sigh, Till jest laid back at last, And hollered rain till thought my throat Would bust right open at every note! ''But I fetched her Oh, fetched>her! Case little while ago, As kind O set
 With one eye shet,
 And 8 singin' soft and low,
 voice dropped down on my fevered brain, Sayin', If you'll just hush, I'll rain ?"

 When the powder had been carefully laid in the barrel, it was covered up, all except one small opening, where the end of the fuse was fastened. The fuse was made of rags wrapped about a core of powder, like the ''tail' of fire cracker. The boys had found two worn out cucum- Der wood pump shafts, and had spliced them together "end on,'' and this tube two of them held upright with the fuse stretched through it. while the others shovelled the excavated dirt back into the hole, and packed it down.
 They had plenty of time, for it was a Saturday. The Fourth falling on Sunday, of course the holiday was changed to the fifth.

Last October I had a very severe attack oi lumbago and suffered untold agony could not turn in bed or get in any position without assistance, and with pains almost unbearable the folks suggested Allcock's Porous Plasters. As soon as possible had one applied to the small of my back, and to my great surprise experienced almost instant relief I contin- ued wearing it until entirely cured, and am happy to say that have not had the slightest symptoms of lumbage since.

and, remembering his success on earth,
he concluded to try his hand in his new
abode. He was not long in discover

held in the distance whole mountsins of
birthstone. He filed claim and had it
ratified after the rules of the country.
After while his Satanic Majesty
wanted fuel for his fire, and went to the
mountains, as mentioned above. and
commenced to load up. The Spectator
objected to such proceedings, and in
formed His Msjesty that he bad no
right to touch said birthstone until maid

duct. and inquired if such proceedings
were common on earth. "Yes," said
the Spectator, I'VE have no scruples
of making money wherever we see q
chance" His Majesty inquired from
what country he belonged. 81 came

SALT LAKE CITY, August Z. 1888.
Dear Doctor:-Before leaving for the
east l wish to express my appreciation
OF your treatment of a complicated case
of the eyes. / have tried for several
years to get far-seeing glasses, and l
mad concluded that could get noRe
that would be of any benefit to me. But
after l saw the wonderful benefit of
your system, take pleasure in saying
that the glasses furnished by you have
restored my vision both for reading ard
far-seeing to the same condition as in
my boyhood. l resolved to have you
furnish me glasses after l witnessed
your system to beautiful young lady
of sixteen years, from Summit County,
afflicted with complicated condition
of the eyesight. She told me she had
never been able to distinguish ones
face at distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see as
well as any one. AS she looked up and
down the street, and for the first time
in her life saw the distant mountain
tops, she was greatly delighted, and
inquired with childish simplicity, do
other people see this way?" 1t seemed
that new world was opened TO her
view, as novel and beautiful as "Eden's
rosy bowers" appeared to our first
parents.

Of all Things in the World

A tonic is what nervous people require.
To impart strength into the nervous
organism is to insure its tranquility,
provided causes of unhealthful excite
ment are avoided. A medical tonic that
like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-com-
mands the unqualified sanction of the
healing profession, and which institutes
general reform in bilious, dyspeptic
and debilitated condition Of the system,
is surely entitled to careful trial by
intelligent people, capable of forming
due estimate of a medicine, from en-
phatic and often recorded professional
evidence in it's behalf. Not only are the
nerves and stomach invigorated by the
Bitters, but the system is also endowed
with unwonted power of resistance to
influences in air, water or daily avoca-
ton subversive of health. Prominently
dangerous among the first named of
these is malaria, against which Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters afford compe-
tent safeguard. Rheumatism and kid
ney troubles are also prevented and
overcome by it.

THE OPIUM SENSATION.
The Drug Was Probably Not Snug.
gled At All.

CHICAGO, August 22.-It is said that
Detective Whalen has been sent to San
Francisco with certain information
growing out of the opium seizure and
arrest of Gardner here. and that sensa-
tional arrests will be made on the Pa
cific slope soon. It transp'res that
Gardner had two trunks exactly alike,
one filled with cans containing opium
and the other with cans precisely like
them containing wooden blocks. The
supposition is he intended to bargain
for the sale of the trunk full of genuine
opium to some Chinamsn, then swindle
him by substituting the dummy
trunk. 1t is intimated that the opium
may have been purchased in San Fran
cisco and not smuggled at all. but was
merely to be used as a bait to work off
dummies"

text, the speaker pressed to the hearts
of his hearers the necessity of giving
themselves for the salvation of others
that we must let all things die in US
that we may save others, that we must
yield ourselves willing sacrifice for
the good of our brethren who are in
dire need of help. The sermon was
clear and forcible in style, pointed in
application, and urgent in entreaty.

of the country, and some of the hab-
its and customs of the people. At
