specific for rheumatism, the remarkable cures it
has effected show that it may be taken for this com

although he had been treated by two physicians.

NJ Dear Old Friend,
Ive been in doubt
Since your good letter came,
The case I've tried to reason ont
In prayer, but not CLEAN
OF added light my spirit finds
by searching page page,
And so turn once more in faith
Toward that old precept sage.
Why veN your p eaceful spirit now,
Win thoughts SO queer and strange
Leave all those hidden things to God
Whose wisdom cannot change.
Deep down within your inmost soul
on know that right is right,
And only with the newer birth
Shall dawn the perfect light.
If we could only live our lives
In confidence and love
Assured that he who knoWeth best
viii every action prove;
II perfect trust could mark cur way
AND give us every hour
New strength to prove our confidence
In His protecting power;
How calm and sweet our lives would glide
Adown the ebbng tide,
IN all was made so clear and bright
pom the other side
W nave no time to speculate
Upon our duties there,
But only time to do our best
l'y ca nest, fervent prayer.
I've lived this life for eighty wears
And tried to do my best,
And now wait the silent oar
TO take me home to rest.
just over in the churchyard there
I've buried chill Il and wife
And many friends have drifted out
10 sweet eternal life.
But in my sorrows true and deep,
Eve tru sted Heaven still,
Nor failed to thank eternal God
For his OWNER will.
know not whence the breeZes come
That lift my silyered hair,
know not how the light appears
mat burns so strong and clear.
But this know, to place my trust
A sure and precious thing,
safe on deep, undying strength
That peace and love will bring.
For far beyond the ripping tide,
know they wait for me,
bright and happy loving throng
Through lie and love made free.
And so turn my failing gaze
Beyond the troubled wave,
Nor dwell upon the gloom and dread
And darkness of the grave.
Assured am |, that He who gives
This mingled joy and pain,
W III once more weld the severed links,
fair, unbroken chain.
We should not question our weak sense
About these heavenly ties,
But call each sorrow to us sent
blessing in disguise.
Conscious that He who ever notes
The tiny sparrow fall,
Wlllln His own great wisdom give
fitting place to all.
So now, dear friend, compose your thoughts,
And set your house in peace,
You're slowly nearing bright shore
When all your cares shall cease.

And fills our every need

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Business Improving, But Collections Cen

r. G.. Dun & Co., in their review Of trade

The great fall in price of copper from about

q slight increase in February, the output reach

pronounced the poorest for many years. The
Government report showing i12 900 600 bushels
of wheat in farmers hands is reported by oper-
ators as an argument for lower prices. With
the visible supply 600 bushels there
is thus in sight about 81 100000 bushels more
than will be required for food and seed until
July /, and theirs is besides large stock on the
Pacific coast in country elevators, and in the
hands of traders not included in the visible
supply, and probably more than the ordinary
stock of -four on hand the winter having been
stock of -four would probably exceed 100000
bushels of wheat, and CHAT last years exports
of wheat and flour, March l to July l. cover

four cents for the week. with sales of 35 OOO, 900
bushels in New York City Corn is one cent
lower and oats quarter Pork products are
unchanged. No change appears in coffee and
but a fraction In oil. The reports from the in
terror almost uniformly indicate some improve
MEM in business though the complaint OF slow
collections is about as general as before. There
is Improvement in leather, liquors, groceries,
and cattle. Money remains in good supply. For
the week the decline in average prices of COM
moditias was nearly half of l per cent. The
business failures numbered 261, as compared
with q total of 291 the previous week and 232 the

sense, party policy. finance, immigra-
ton, elections, foreign relations, the new
navy. everything is obscured by the bust
ness of office brokerage. For weeks, and
even months, the President and his Cabinet

perfunctory sort of way, but, with chiefs
waiting the appointment of their SUCCESSORS.

Grant, but declined it. In 1872 he was
made Postmaster at Des Moines, and held
the Office until 1877. Then he attacked President
Hayes policy and after rendering his resignation
several times went to Washington and had it ac-
cepted. In 1876 Mr. Clarkson headed the Blaine

ton. and has been at the head of succeeding del
egatiOns from the State since then. In 1889 Mr..
