AN ORGANS MISSION.
How It Huale Converted . saloor


How Its Nuale Converted Saloon
E H. ~ .a.gs#sT.: Keeper.
Some ono with 1 cotta9e organ
moved into house next 4 saloon. The
house was double and the saloon and
the parlor adjoined. 10 that what trans
pired IN one place could be plainly
heard in the other. 5..E
Now II occurred that q sweet child of
the lady possessing the organ died, and
the > tat, wheezy landlord professed
much sympathy. but it did not extend
any further sitter the little boys burial
than the next Saturday night, when a
number Of rough drinking men met in
the saloon to have some violin music,
and as the nature Of the pieces being
rendered was anything but soul sooth-
ing the poor, lonely.hearted mother
wrung her hands In anguish and won
dered what she could do. : -,
Then she thought of the organ. and
going over, softly to it she raised the
LID and began playing the well-known
tune of Martyr, and as she played she
sang: H., 4,<.. r
Jesus, Lover Of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom n.y.;
While the raging pillows roll, 49, ~"
While tho tempest still is high.
Hide me- O, my Saviour! hide,
; TIL the storm Of life 1, past;
Safe into tho haven guide,
Oh, receive my soul at last.'' E.
+; She had played but one verse Of tho
sweet hymn when all became quiet in
the barroom, and the lady felt sure
from the solemn hush that they were
all listening. Then she lifted up ST.
lent prayer that the hymn she was
playing might prove lasting blessing;
and 50 God ordained, for when the lady
ceased playing, sobbing ready to break
her heart, all the shutters Of the saloon
were closed and the place was shut for
the night
The next evening the saloon keeper
sent in two lady mem bers of his family
t. beg the lady to play and sing:
"Jesus Lover Of my SOUL"
Wonderingly, the lady complied.
Still more strange, he sent in again
and again for the same, until both the
music and the words became so
monotonous, that the lady longed for
something else just for change.
But the organ, together with the
sweet words, accomplished their
mission. The hard heart was soft
ened, and the saloon keeper found him
sely longing to be able to make those
words the sweet prayer of his own
heart In the midst of these new,
strange desires, he was taken sick.
He then sent for preacher to pray for
him, and tried to make preparations
for death.
During his death-agony, the lady
who owned the organ said to him:
For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that who.
soever should believe on Him, might
not perish, but have everlasting life. -
''Oh, yes" he replied; II know all
that, but I am so tired, so tired'-and
so he died. 1t is to be hoped that the
man was saved, for he repented and
believed, and God is very merciful
The man left a will ordering that his
saloon be closed forever, and that his
children should always attend church
| and Sunday school. One more less
saloon brought about by an organ A
bow drawn at a venture, when &C.
companied by prayer, often accom-
plishes more than stated formal work.

Blood Oranges.

That Cute Cabman.

A cabInan appeared before magis.
trate to obtain Il summons under the
following circumstances. He had been
engaged to drive lady and gentleman,
and after the lady had been set down at
her house had driven her companion
some distance farther. On being asked
his fare he told his passenger that it was
five shillings and sixpence.
"Make it six shillings," was the genial
answer, and then that person pressed
three coins into the cabmaD's hand and
hastily fed.
Unfortunately, the coins were pennies,
and not forms, and the cabman, failing
to overtake his generous client, was left
to reflect upon the deceitfulness of man
kind. His reflections seem to have led
him to remarkable conclusion. He
drove straight back to the house where
he had left the lady, represented to her
that her companion had largely overpaid
him, and begged for his name and ad-
dress in order that he might rectify the
mistake and repay the money. The name
and address were promptly given, and

that it smashed a cocoanut upon its

head at the same time, because the lazy,
thoughtless fellow had broken cocoanut

Aldermen a. a board or p,reetor..

1t would clear away much misconcep-
ton if the popular body in cities, instead
Of being spoken of and thought of as a
local Legislature, could be looked upon
and considered as board of directors.
One OF the most important grants where
in the powers OF such body in cities
seem to pass beyond the functions of a
board of directors is the right to adont
ordinances which are enforced by the
police: but even as to this power it is TO
be borne in mind that city ordinances
have no original authority. They are
constantly declared invalid by the courts
because they contravene statutes of the
legislature or deal with matters not COW
cred by the grant of power to the city
corporation. The differences to be drawn
from this discussion are two. First,
that the whole question as to what
ought to be the business of the city and
as to the best method of conducting this
business is fairly open to discussion sec
ond, that the question is one involving
good judgment only. 1t does not in
volve the liberties of the people or touch

Serious DANCER

Threatens every man. woman or child living
in region of country where fever and ague
is prevalent, since the germs of maarial dis
ease are inhaled from the air and are swal-
lowed from the water OF such region. Me-
diciaal safeguard is absolutely necessary to
nullify this danger. AS a means OF fortify-
ing and acclimating the system so as to be
able to resist the malarial poison, HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters is incomparably the best
and the most popular. Irregularities of the
stomach, liver and bowels encourage malaria;
but these are speedily rectifed by the Bit
tiers. The functions of digestion and secre-
ton are assisted by its use, and vigorous
as well as regular condition of the system
promoted by it. Constitution and physique
are thus defended against the inroads of

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an indamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustrachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condition
