THE ANGRY WORD.

Weau and heartsick from work and Dain
Was II any woncer the hard word camel
With children's clamor and heavy care,
II seemed that mine Was the ''lion's share"
And John with look that told he heard,
Went On to his work with calm absurd.
Weary and hcartsick all Of the day,
The heavy hours vent slowly away
The night came down. but no John returned,
To where the hearth IRE sulkfly burned;
] gave the children their supper and bed.
And crouched by the Goals with IN aching head
o Was It . dream-that seemed to be John
So weary and painfully hammering on,
Seemed to be laboring over my strength,
Till the long, long day was over 1t length,
With cruel words and haunting snecr
Flung often At him b the overseer!
Owas Il dream thai, the day now DER,
They doubled his task and abused him more,
That the patient mind had but one refrain,
II bear, for my home and the living to gain"
But the word had spoken held its smart
And Was like fre in the patient heart.
A step on the stair! o John has returned,
The sulky fre now more brightly has burned,
leap ia my heart moves me on to the door.
! sob in the arms Of my darling once more;
o never again by word or . sign
Will l claim that his burden is lighter than
mine.

open to any and all unobjectionable adj

for US to speak knowingly Of the merits
Of the various articles Of merchandise ad-
vertised. Particularly is this true Of pat
emit medicines. But there are exceptions
occasionally and a noteworthy exception
is the celebrated Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This now universally known
medicine has been advertised in the
GRAPHIC for four or five years, but not
until recently had we had any personal
knowledge of its wonderful efficacy,
which has come about through the pre-
vailing influenza and the stubborn cough
that has so often attended it. In the
writer's family this medicine has on sew
eral occasions this winter. cured a cough
that bafled any and all other remedies;
and the number Of families in Kimball
and vicinity in which this remedy has
been used with like effects attests
to Its value as a specific for coughs and
colds of every nature.
