EPOCH

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks on
epoch IN the life of the individual. Such q
remarkable event IS treasured in the memo
ry and the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully blessed.
Hence it is that so much is heard in praise
of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their res:orntion to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative ind Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease OF Kidneys, Liv.
er or Stomach. Of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric Bit

THEIR BUSINESS BOOMING.

Probably no one thing has caused such o
general revival of trade at Dinkins j. 60. s
Drng Store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles OF
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is SIMPLY enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it always
cures and never diSappoints. Coughs,
Colds. Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by getting q
trial bottle free, large size 81. Every bot

Closing Exercises of Liberty Hill School.

Mn. EDITOR: peaceful community
was all astir on last Friday night going to
see the closing exercises of the Liberty Hill
School. This school consists chiefly Of
small children, and it is said by all that the
exercises were the pest on record. And 80
another wear has ended. How fast they
come and go, these eight months of earnest
work AID endeavor. Our deeds whether
good or bad are now beyond recall. AS we
review the work and the innumerable needs
that have arisen, and then realize our weak
ness and many failures, We can only ask the,
dear Father to pardon the wrong, and bless
even our mistakes and failures, 20 the
furtherance Of his kingdom and the ad-
yancement of those about us. We trust that
the seed-sowing we have tried to do in this
little corner of Clarendon will be continued
luring vacation by many of our girls and
boys. We are confident and believe that
ONLY in the hereafter will the extent Of this
work be known. The closing exercises were
full of interest if we may judge by the well
filled house and the many appreclatlre words
spoken When the work is taken up for
lSs9-90, may it be with the new building
completed. AS we separate for the summer,
each to pursue mis- own course for rest, recre-
alton. Oh labor We earnestly trust that all
NAV 90 forth conscious Of the divine pro7i-
Ience and SO meet with success in what
ever direction sought.
Ny own dear loving scholars,
The tears unbidden start,
As nearer to the time We come
When from you must part.
To-day as each Of us looks back
The past three years to view,
l see how illiterate you were
- When first came to you.
Before leave our school home,
Before say farewell,
1 Mant TO say thank you more
Than any words can tell.
4 score of miles between US roll,
EaclAgone his work to do;
1 will always cherish with delight
Sweet memories Of you.
When we have lifes great problem solved,
And bale ths world farewell,
In Heaven we hope to reuaite,
With Christ for eer to dwell.

VALUE oE The PAST

How Its Influence Is Indelibly Stamped
ON the Present.
The power of the past over every
instant of the present is so subtle in its
operation that it tells in the most in
significant acts. One of my friends,
who has had much experience in
tuition, tells me that he knows imme-
diately, without asking questions,
whether a young man has had classi-
cal education or not. A close observer
might possibly guess from the slightest
movements if young man had been
accustomed to athletic exercises.
In all the arts there are momentary
difficulties that only the most dexterous
can fully overcome. In other words,
the labor of years is concentrated in
the skill of moment, the extensive
past operating with all its accumulated
force upon the narrow present. On
witnessing these momentary displays
OF skill that is almost incomprehensi-
BILE a thoughtful person is chiefly i'm
pressed by that marvellous law of
nature which makes years of previous
labor available all at once.
The great difficulty in employing the
present well is that the use of it must
form part of some consistent scheme
or well devised arrangement of life.
There is no satisfactory present that
is not firmly rooted in the past. It is
the sense of this great need of the
past which drives people who have no
steady pursuits to perpetual waste of
time. They feel that desultory efforts
are useless, and they can not determine
to undertake those that might be effect
ual and continuous. Hence the great
advantage in the trades and profess
sions, that they insure continuity; they
keep the cobbler to his last, the painter
20 his palette. It is thus, in the ar
rangements of nature, that the present
is made so valuable, that men are, on
the whole, so wonderfully efficient now
when we want their services, and do
not put us of with promises of future
utility. This is the one admirable re-
suit, that civilization helps US now
that the telegraph is ready to take our
message and the steamer ready to
start. and the fire engine ready to stop
the confagration. The increased ex-
perience Of the human race is leading
1t more and more to appreciate the
importance Of the present, and to look
npon the future only as that which will
be the present in iss turn, : Scribner's
Magazine

clothing and a few bones were left to
tell the poor mans fate. Our beaters
not only found the tiger at home, but
he was defiant and ready for fight.
Twice he charged up the steep bank to
find that his tormentors had taken
refuge in trees and escaped him. He
finally retired to the center of the
thicket to bide his time. We flung
stones at him, and fired several bullets
into his retreat, but while he growled
his rage he planned to wait until he
could get an advantage. The leader
of our party was afraid the beast would
sneak off unseen, and he stationed us
to prevent such an occurrence. Invent
to the head of the ravine, and there
found great rock. took my station
on the left of it, looking down upon the
thiciet, and the beaters redoubled their
exertions to drive the tiger out.
L had been at my station about ten
minutes when felt, rather than heard,
the presence of something, and 1
wheeled about to find that man-eater
standing before me and hardly arm 8
length away. We looked square into
each others eyes, but that was the only
effort could make. l was seemingly
frozen to the earth. l had been per-
spring as | turned. Within ten Sec
onds l was as cold as a naked man in
midwinter. don't know how long we
stood there, but presume it was not
over a minute. The beaters were YELL
ing and shouting and ringing bells, but
my ears did not take in a single sound.
The tiger dropped his lip and growled,
or seemed to growl, advanced one fore
foot as about to spring, and then sud
denly turned and bolted across the
open into the jungle. Then, like
woman, / tainted dead away, and it
was ten minutes later before came to
and found myself fiat on the earth and
three or four of the beaters standing
over me and crying out that the sahib
had been mauled to death by the re-
treating tiger. l was not injured in
the slightest, but the scare l got un-
nerVed me for long weeks.-N. Y. Sun.

FARM-LlFE IN CHINA.
Hard-WOrking Men Who Are Paid Thirty
Cents Day.

Hard d-WOrking Men Who Are Paid Thirty
Cents Day.
A farmer may be hired by the year
for from eight to fourteen dollars, with
food, clothing, head-shaving and to-
bacco. Those who work by the day
receive from eight to ten cents, with a
monday meal. At the planting and
harvesting of rice, wages are from ten
to twenty cents day, with FIVE meals;
or thirty cents day without food.
Few landowners hire hands, except
for few days during the planting and
harvesting of rice. Those who have
more land than they and their sons can
till, lease it to their neighbors.
Much land is held on leases given bv
ancient proprietors to clansmen whose
descendants now till it, paying from
seven to fourteen dollars worth of rice
annually for its use.
Food averages little more than a dol
lar a month for each member of a
farmers family. One who buys.
cooks and eats his meals alone, spends
from one and half to two dollars a
month upon the raw material and fuel.
Two pounds of rice, costing three and
a half cents, with relishes of salt fish.
picked cabbage, cheap vegetables and
fruits, costing q cent and half, is the
ordinary allowance to each laborer for
each day. Abernethy's advice to a
luxurious patient, Live on sixpence a
day and earn it. " is followed by nearly
every Chinaman. One or two depend
ent relatives frequently share with
him the sixpence. M. Fielde, in
Popular Science Monthly.
