The Little Seed.

A little seed lay in the carriers path;
little shoot bowed in the strong winds wrath;
little shrub grew, by its roots held fast;
Then stout tree braved all the winters blast.
A little cough started-'twas only light;
little chill shivered in the hours of night;
little pain came and began to grow,
Then consumption laid all his brave strength low,
Be wise in time. Check the little cough,
cure the little chill, dispel the little pain,
ere the little ailment becomes the strong
uncomfortable giant of disease. DIR. Pierce S
Golden Medical Discovery, taken in time, is
a remedy for these ills.

Look the valleys are thick with grain
Heavy and tall
Peaches drop in the grassy lane
by the orchard wall:
Apples, streaked with crimson stain,
Bask in the sunshine, warm and bright;
Hank to the quail that pipes for rain.

Augur of mischief, pipes for rain

Men who reap on the fruitful plain
Skrting the town
Lift their eyes to the shifting vane
As the sun goes down;
Slowly the farmers loaded vain
Climbs the slope in the failing light
Bold is the voice that pipes for rain
Bob White Bob White
Still from the hillside pipes for rain
Bob White,
10, a burst at the darkened pane,
Angry and loud
Waters murmur and winds complain
To the rolling cloud;
Housed at the farm, the careless swain
Weaving snares while the fire burns bright
Tunes his lips to the old refrain
Bob White Bob white!
Oh, the sound of the blithe refrain

THEIR BUSINESS BooMING.-Probably no
one thing has caused such general revival
of trade at c. Blakely's drugstore as his
giving away to their customers of so many
free trial bottles of DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry for Consumption. His trade is sim
ply enormous in this very valuable article,
from the fact that it always cures and never
disappoints Coughs, colds, asthma, bron-

buying by getting a trial bottle free; large

THE handsomest lady in Montpelier re-
marked to a friend the other day that she
knew Kemp's Balsam for the Throat and

prove this and convince you of its merit
any druggist will give you sample bottle
free. Large size fifty cents and 81

Women in Government EmnIo,-

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The report of
the civil service commission will, it is
said, please those who are interested in
the work of women in the government
service 1t is fact that number of
government officials are opposed to the
employment of women in the govern
ment service, and that they have not
hesitated to place obstacles in their way.
One fayorite method is to decline to ask
for women when application is made for
clerks for certain offices. This is one of
the reasons why at times there have
been SO many women on the certified
