MANY A LIFE

LAS been saved by the prompt use Of
Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
arrangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The pru-
dent sailing-master would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in oyeeration, Ayers Pills
leave no i'll effects they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad.

constipation, which at last became SO
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then I began to take Ayers

their natural and regular action, so that

ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT.
Stand above the earth tonight,

Stand above the earth tonight,
To hear its music swelling,
And watch the play of life and light
In many a scattered dwelling;
In hamlets near and homes afar,
Ger earth wide-reaching spaces,
The blessed ray from Bethlehem's star
Lights up all human faces:
The air is full of happy songs
From choirs of children singing,
And ON the ear of listening throngs
The Christmas bells are ringing;
And all because the Lord of light,
AS ancient bards bad sung us.
Came down to earth on Christmas night
To live and dwell among US.
He came to earth little child,
A meek andfgentle stranger;
The holy, harmless, undefiled,
Slept in a lowly manger;
But wise men watched the guiding star,
It's heavenly pathway keeping,
And brought their gifts and gold from far
To where.the babe was sleeping;
And angels sang their rapturous strains
In raiment bright and shining,
O'er Bethlehem's lonely midnight plains.
Where shepherds were reclining;
And all because the Lord of light,
AS ancient herds had sung us,
Came down to earth on Chris mas night
To live and dwell among us.
EARTH had not seen so great sight
Through all lis by gone stages.
For dark ness res ted like a blight
Ger those long gloomy ages;
But now the morning star arose,
The brighter day was breaking,
The long. dark night drew nesr its close.
The world to Joy was waking;
This Joy should spread from land to land,
To islands OF the ocean,
And countless human hearts expand
With new and strange emotion;
And all because the Lord of lisht.
AS ancient bards has sung US,
Came down to earth on Christmas night
To live and dwell among us.
And evermore that gloomy pl ice
Beneath His touch shall brighten;
And evermore the burdened race
His gentle care shall tighten;
And man shall love his brother man,
And dwell with him as neighbor.
And warllke clan shall join with clan
In quiet, peaceful labor;
The tribes of earth shall know the Lord
And bow in aw e before Him;
Nations shall join, with g 'ad :ccord.
To worship and adore Him;
And all because the Lord oflight,
As ancient bards had sung us,
Came down to earth on Christmas night
To dwell and live among u.s.

The roses of the June time
Are D! so fair to see,
But fairer than these flowers are

Is the rose that blooms fof me
On the checks one pale and hollow,
And God be thanked 1 say,
That the rose of health and happiness
Blooms out again to-day.
That is what many a man feels like say
ing when he sees some member of his fam
lily restored to health after long and vast
lag illness. La many households there are
persons who seem to be fading out of life
slowly. There is general debility that
indicates a lack of vital force. The blood
seems to be blood only in color. There is
often dry hard cough. Night brings no
sleep. The cheek grows thin
and pale What shall be done to ward off
disease which is making slow but sure eff.
forts to secure another victim? Let me tell
yon : Get DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

is nothing like it to build mp weakened
system, and restore lost vitality. 1t is a
most wonderful tonic, nutritive and altera-
tive or blood purifier.

Writing upon the manner Ia WITCH
the nation hns discharged its obliga-

terms exactly the same as made With
the charlottesville capitalist
promise to pay dollar. How was il
discharged The money paid the SOL
der did not average 80 per cent. Of Its
face value. Some times IL required as
much as $2,65 OF the promise to buy
one dollars worth of the staple COM
modities. In effect the nation as an
employer obtained the s'rvicrs of the
soldier at half the current price. and
paid him even that In money only half
as good Ms it paid the capitalist II
the plea on which the hoDdholder re-
ceived a gold dollar for an indefinite
promise was good and a valid one,
then. upon the same reasoning, the ma
tion has cheated the soldier out of one
half the value expressly promised
him."

The National Tribune of Washing
ton, ID. c., of May 16, has an exhaust
i've articlo on pensions in which it
shows up the famous charge of the
Light Brigade Mt Balaklava as com.
pared with many of the regiments Of
the North engaged in the rebellion.
The brigade lost 49, per cent in killed
and wounded, or 1873 per cent in
killed. while we had regiments which
lost from 40 to so per cent in killed
and wounded, or from 16 to % per
cent in killed in n single battle. and
were engaged IN numerous battles
both before and after such terrible
losses. The Light Brigade made that
charge as its first and only fight, yet
no one doubts. that it was the duty
of the British government to secure
from want for the rest OF his life every
man in the Light Brigade who went
through the fight" A great difference
compared with what this government
has done, when we study the report
of the Commissioner of Pensions and
find that of the 1926, 1856 disabled men
on his rolls one-tenrh get 50 per month
or less, about cents day; one-third
get 81 per month or 10 1-3 cents day.
and the balance get FROM So per month
or - cents day upward. And some
of them get this munificent sum only
after fiom one to twenty-six years
trying.
