One of the oyster shuckers at Fair Ha- ven shop found 5O-cent silver coin in an oyster. The oyster meat, which was . B. year-old, was perfectly healthy. It is be- lieved that the oyster seized the coin about two years ago. This is one of the most re- narkable finds in an oyster shell. The date of the coin was 1876.

A LITTLE KINDNESS.

Grace lived alone with her father and
mother and Susan, the hired "help." 1t
was rather stupid for her sometimes. The
nearest house was half mile away, and
she didn't see a girl friend except at
school for weeks and weeks. Her home
was by the sea, and for that reason she
could not be very lonely. The sea al
ways has something to say to those who
love it. 1t smiles and it frowns, it muir
murs and it shrieks. 1t is never monot-
onous like dull, level winter fields and
frozen country roads.
People have an idea that the seashore
is pleasant only in summer. That is
great mistake. There were often days
in winter mild enough for Grace to go
to the beach. She had many frolic
with the winds and waves on the smooth
single. How lovely the sea colors are
in winter no one knows who has not seen
them. And the sunsets are too besuti-
full for description. Susan, the "help,"
often looked wisttully toward the sea.
She, too, was fascinated by the great
blue world, with it's villages of ships.
But she only saw it from the kitchen
window. There was always SO much to
dol There were hired men who helped
the father. They got up long before
dawn and went to the beach with cart
and oxen after great loads of seaweed
When they came back, how hungry they
werel When breakfast was over, there
we're piles of dishes to wash Then there
was dinner to get. Indeed, there was
always something waiting for Susan's
patient hands.
Grace was never expected to help. She
was an only child, and therefore treated
tenderly. She had her lessons, her piano
practice, and her story books,-these
filled her time pretty full But one day
she went into the kitchen, and found
Susan sitting by a great pile of pots
and pans and platters. The poor "help"
looked completely discouraged.
"Why, Susy, what's the matter?" said
Grace. The tears came into the girls
eyes, but she did not speak. 1t must be
swtully dull she said, "to wash dishes,
and cook, and wash dishes again, and
wash and iron, and WISH and iron over
again, in that old hot, steamy kitchen.
And know Susan would like to get out
and have a walk on the beach. And the
beach is so nearl Strange never thought
Of way"

STRENGTH FOR TO-DAY.

Strength for to-day is all that we need,
AS there never will be tomorrow:
For tomorrow will prove but another to-day
With its measure of joy and sorrow
Then why forecast the trials of life
With much sad and grave persistence,
And wait aud watch for crowd of ills
That as yet have no existence2
Strength for to-day; what precious boon
For earnest souls who labor.
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend and neghbor.
Strength for to-day, that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may QUAIL not,
And the eyes bedimmed by bitter tears
In their search for light may fail not.
Strength for to-day on the down hill track
For the travellers near the valley.
That up, far up on the other side,
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day, tn At our precious youth
MAY happily shun temptation,
And build from the rise to the set of the sun,
On strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day in house and home
To practice forbearance sweetly;
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in God completely.
Strength for to-day is all that we need,
AS there never will be tomorrow;
For tomorrow will prove but another to-day,
With its measure of joy and sorrow.

This was the very last end of the Old
Year. That was one reason why Susan
felt SO discouraged. The Old Year was
going the New Year was coming; but
there was no change for her. That's the
way she felt.
On New Years Day there was more to
do than ever. There was a turkey dinner,
and such pile of dishes afterward.
Susan's face YVES long.
"I'll shorten it," thought Grace smil.
ing. In truth it was an easy matter, only
Grace had never thought how to do it be-
fore.
She put on ginghsm bib apron that
covered her pretty dress from throat to
hem and went into the kitchen.
"rm going to wipe the dishes for you"
she said. Well get the N done as quick
as we can and then you can go to the
beach with me, It's plenty warm enough
for walk, Papa says he never saw
such mild New Years.
Susan stood still moment from sur
prise. Then she began washing dishes
with heartiness that she had not felt for
a month. The holidays seemed hateful 90
her because they only brought more
work. On Christmas, she was heard to
say that she wished she could go behind
the pantry door and eat crust Of bread.
That heap of dishes was soon reduced.
Grace wiped and put away with great
rapidity. And, in the sunny afternoon,
the little daughter of the house and the
servant went to the beach together. The
servant was not bit behind the daugh-
ter in appreciation and intelligence
What walk that wasI On and on and
on they went, away from the cook-stove
and the dish pan, away from the smell
and smut, into world Of enchsniment;
white beach, fantastic sand danes, blue
and purple and green waves shining and
fosming; ships floating on the horizons
curving rim; the sunset; clouds of red
and orange; the lighthouse lights fash
ing out one after another; the evening
stars splendid in the deep blue fieldl
At last, they turn their backs upon the
glory OF the west. It is hard, but we
must 60 home when night comes. The
charm is even greater as they face the
east. Night falling upon the sea is a
wonderful sight. The heart OF the ''help"
is full of deep enjoyment. Both are
silent as the great black waves break on
the shore throwing up their dazzling
foam in the darkness. Susan does not
speak till they reach the kitchen door

right on now" she said, and kissed the
cheek of the little daughter. Christian

FRONTIER FRIVOLITIES.
The ALL NIGHT DANCE IN WHICH "OLE
VIRGINIA NEVER TIRES"

writer in the american Magazine gives
very felicitous description of a dancing
party in the sparsely settled portion of Vir
ginia.
These parties are events of great import
ance, drawing friends and acquaintances for
many miles around. They will come, per-
haps from distant counties, days journey
or more, to participate in the festivities.
The method of travel is on " horseback, ,"
and as the roads are bad and frequently
bridgless, the journeying must be done be-
tween sun up" and dark. This would be
sufficient reason, if there were no other, for
keeping up their merry making through the
entire night, as is the universal custom.
Old and young join in the dancing, which
is only suspended for the hearty supper at
midnight, and the "sweet supper" as it is
called, of cakes, jellies and tarts, which is
furnished just before daybreak.
AS the sun rises the visitors mount their
horses and start on their homeward journey,
perhaps of many hours duration. 1t seems
like paying severe penalty for few hours
enjoyment, but these tough, hardy settlers
do not wilt, physically, az easy as our modern
hot-house, society plants.
In the log-cabin days of the early settlers
in the northern States, the all-night dance
was a common feature of social life, and old
and young, for miles around, were partici
pants. They were hardy race, perhaps be-
cause they enjoyed themselves, took plenty
of exercise and but little medicine. They
enjoyed rugged old age, because they found
medicine for their simple ailments in natures
remedies, the roots and herbs of near. by
fields and forests, which cured them, and left
no after i'll effects.
The people of to day might be more rugged
and enjoy life better if they would have re-
course to natures remedies instead of min
eral drugs, With purpose of giving them
chance to try this course, H. fl. Warner q
Co., proprietors of Warmers Safe Cure, have
had prepared, from the best recipes used in
real log cabin days, line of remedies known
as Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, compris-
ing Sarsaparilla, Hops and Buchu Rem
edy, Cough and Consumption Remedy, an
Extract for External and Internal use, Liver
Pills, Rose Cream for catarrh, Scalpine, for
Head and Hair, and porous Plaster. THY
are all vegetable compounds, harmless, and
just such remedies as we're used by our grand
mothers with the best effects.

WHEN CAPT. JOHN SMITH WAS
A BOY.

John Smith was born in Lincolnshire,
England; and it would be a good plan
for you to take out your map of England
right here, and if you do not already
know, look up that country, and learn
just where it is.
You may perhaps find the town of Will
loughby, where he was born. L do not
know whether Willoughby is put down
on the map; neither do I know in just
what part of Lincolnshire it is, although
am writing this story OF Capt. John
Smith in England.
But, at any rate, you can find Lincoln
ire, and you will see that it lies by the
sea. 1t is very fiat county, with few
hills in it, and is as green as New Eng
land meadow in June.

which Boston in America was named, and

WHY You Feel

So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. AS well expect the
sanitary condition of city to be per-
feet with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such compli-
Gated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and a half minutes, and that,
on its way, it makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerve, and all other solids
and fluids of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,
"The Life of the Body"
Is it any wonder, then, that if the blood
be not pure and perfect in it's consti-
tuents, you suffer so many Undesirable
symptoms?
Ayers Sarsaparilla stands "head and
shoulders " above every other Alter
alive and Blood Medicine. AS proof,
read these reliable testimonies:
G. G. Brock, of Lowell Mass, says:
''For the past % years / have sold
Ayers Sarsaparilla. In my opinion,
the best remedial agencies for the cure
of all the diseases arising from impure
ties of the blood are contained in this
medicine"

and general builder-up of the system,

There was much opposition to Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew as the Republican candi-
date for President because of his connec-
ton with one Of the great railroad sys-
TENS of the country. No hint, however,
was ever given that such a connection
was not an honorable one. He was not
a professional railroad wrecker like
Tilden; he was not even a railroad own
er like Barnum; he was simply a rail-
road manager and a good one at that.
But even that was felt to be prejudicial
to his candidacy. 1t was held, and
probably rightly too. that he would lose
the votes of laboring men by reason of
his railroad presidency. No lahoring
man who knew him would vote against
him on that account, on the contrary he
would draw from the Democratic ranks
on that very account where he was
known, but nevertheless his position as
railroad manager hurt his candidacy
But now comes the Democratic party
with VIM. H. Barnum, a we'll known
railroad owner as the head of its national
committee, and Calvin S. Brice as the
head of its executive committee. Mr..
Brice is railroad lawyer, manager and
schemer. He has made his millions out
of railroad schemes of dubious character.
He is the protector of the famous Nickel
Plated scheme whereby millions Of
money were made by building railroad
parallel to the Lake Shore, of the Van
derbilt trunk line, and compelling the
Vanderbilt trunk line to buy it out at
an exhorbitanL price. Such is Demo
cratic consistency.

WHAT FREE WOOL MEANS.

For the first time since 1916 the Demo-
Gratis propose to put wool of all kinds on
the free list. The history of wool grow
ing in the United States shows conclu-
sively that production of wool was first
stimulated under the high protective
tariff of 1923 and that the moment the
tariff tinkering with this important in
dustry began in 1889 the production
nuctuated, and we find that from 1881
to 1861 the increase in production had
only been 22,500, 000pounds.
Turn from these figures TO those of
the twenty-five years of steady and adj
equate protection, and the production of
wool has increased to 100, 900, 900 pounds
in 1870, and again doubled in the next
decade, reaching 100000, 900 pounds in
1880. This continued until the product
reached 35800O, 600 pounds, when the
unwise reduction in duty in 1888 put
back the industry of wool growing sew
eral years and reduced the annual out
put.
Is it possible to present anything in q
stronger light than thisP With this
extraordinary increase under prOtec-
tive tariff the cost of wool has declined
to the consumer, the farmer has i'm
proved the quality of his fleeces, and the
sheep husbandry has received a great
impetus, With this supply ofwOol, at
home has been built up Il vast wooden
manufacturing industry, which has

Gen. Harrison Good Temperance N

Gen. HarrlsOn GOOd temperance MAN
In n speech at Danville, Ind, some
months ago Gen. Harrison used the fol-
lowing language:
81 want to say this; there may have
been time in the:past when the Repub-
lican party off Indiana had dalliance
with the liquor interests; but / beg to
say to all who hear me to day that when
the platform of the State convention
was read and received with cheers by
the great masses who heard it, any dial
lance between the Republican party of
Indiana and the liquor leagne was sew
cred once and forever. Whyp Simply
for the reason have already given; the
liquor league is an organization framed
to defy the law, and therefore we are
against it and it is against u.s."
Gen. Harrison then went on to make
strong appeal for the enforcement OF
the existing statues as the avenue to
something better. His words were as
follows:
my first proposition on the temper
ance question is that so long as the law
is as it is, whether you like it or like
it, we shall still stand together and de-
clare that the law shall be enforced.
Stand as all good men must stand for
the rigid enforcement without fear OF
favor, Of every statute on the statute
books. That is a good start. And when
this principlei is well established and
you stand with us now for it, we will
stand with you when you get law that
suits you better; you will have senti'
ment that will back it up; but if you
don't stand with us now, but encourage
in any way, directly or indirectly, the
spirit of lawlessness, to what will you
appeal when you get the law you wantP'
This is sound sense as well as gooC
| principle.
