A FRIEND AFFAIR.


Tell me, you who went to sleep
Many years ago,
Leaving us to silence deep
In this world below
Have you found that inner life
Whereof we did talk,
Far removed from hate and strife,
Peace your daily walki
When you dropped your eyelids down,
Did there seem to fall
Through the silence, like crown,
sweet, silvery calf
Did your tears disturb your resti
Could you hear us sob2
Wouldyour death have seemed more blest
Had we hushed each throbi
Is that new world fair and bright
AS we used to deemf
Have you knowledgef Have you light
On each earthly themeY
Never any word comes back
Since you left this shore,
If OF Joy you know no lack
Never any more.
Could we know, o friend ATARI
Where your footsteps tread,
On some gloriaed bright STAR
Crowned with peace your head,
Gould you but one garland drop
From your asphodel,
How our wonderings would stop,
AS the fragrance fell
Still in dreams we see thee pass
With an angel choir,
BY the storied sea Of glass
That Is mixed with fire;
Face uplifted fair and calm,
Step sedate and slow,
Fingers holding boughs Of palm
Such as angels know!
Eleanor W. +. Bates, in Woman's Journal.

A ChampaVne Bath.

Very frequently a champagne bath
has been referred to in illustrating
some freak of prohigacy, Less than a
half-dozen years ago Louisville man
took genuine champagne bath in
Rulers hotel. His name was Crow,
and he was a sporty man. A relative
died near Lexington and left him big
lump of property. He bought enough
champagne to fill bathtub at Rulers
and plunged into it. On the side he
had champagne to drink and a dozen
companions to drink it. Two years
later he was on his uppers and hadn't a
nickel. Commercial,

Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
made for. 1t gives her health and
strength. All woman's weaknesses
and all woman's ailments are cured
by it. It's legitimate medicine
not beverage; an invigorating, re-
storative tonic and a soothing and
Strengthening nervine, free from al
cohol and injurious drugs. 1t i'm
parts tone and vigor to the whole
system.
For all functional irregularities,
periodical pains, organic displace-
ments and uterine diseases, it's a
positive remedy.
And guaranteed one. If it
doesn't give satisfaction, in every
case, the money paid for it is re-
funded. No other medicine for
women is sold on these terms.
That's because nothing else is
"just as good" Perhaps the
dealer will offer something that's
"better." He means that it's bet
ter for him.

Religion.

Man, in whatever state he may be
considered, as well as in every period
and vicissitude of life, experiences in
religion an eficacious antidote against
the ills which Cypress him, shield
that blunts the darts of his enemies and
an asylum into which they can never
enter. In every event of fortune it ex-
cites in his soul sublimity of ideas, by
pointing out to him the just Judge,
who, as an attentive spectator of his
conflicts, is about to reward him with
His inestimable appreciation. Religion,
Also in the darkest tempest, appears to
man as the iris of peace, and dissipat-
ing the dark and angry storm, restores
the wished-for calm and brings him to
the port of safety.-N. Y. Ledger.
