A MINERS TOUCHING PRAYER.
fExchange.l

One OF the prettiet things ever read
or heard, says a correspondent OF the
Brooklyn Eagle, was a little poem written
on the prayer Now | lay me down to
Sleep by mining prospector, apropos
OF the circumstances and place he found
himself one night. This man was once
in quite comfortable circumstances, but
possessed OF strong desire to prospect
for mines, started ont, and becoming
finally tramp, financially, walked many
miles east to Wichita, Kan, and stepping
into the office of a newspaper, applied for
work on the reportorial staff, saying that
he had worked on newspapers from the
bottom to the top as editor, but his ap-
pearance being against him from his long
walk and Impoverished condition, he
received no notice, much less encourage
ment and OH retiring laid on the editors
desk the poem, saying il it was any use
to him he was welcome to it. At the
EDITORS leisure he picked it up and read
it, and at once sent out to find the tramp,
but no trace OF him could be found.

Sickness in the Country.

Reports from the country indicate
that there is at this time more than
the usual amount Of sickness prevail
ing. Most OF these troubles seem to
arise from an impure condition OF the
blood, caused by an excessive secretion
OF bile This causes secretion of bill
fious character and we regret to say
in some places it has proved very ia
tall We, therefore, offer this gratui-
tous advice to those not yet afflicted ;
Keep your liver in healthy condi-
zion, and your blood rich and pure.
Good blood means good health, whilst
bad blood bad health Harris Blood
and Liver Pills are entirely vegetable
and are just the pills needed at this
season of the year
