Del-beautiful Del-comes in; she sits
down on a low stool at my feet, her
head dropping to my lap, and my hand
caressing her bright hair. With all her
fashionable life, my Del is yet ur-
spoiled. As she sits there, her white
satin gown lies out across the floor like
a fall of snow, and the Jewels on her
hands sparkle and CLEAN in the liuht of
the burning logs.
Grandma" there is culver in her
voice, "my heart is breaking, and vet
| must 20 and dance and laugh with
the lightest of them tonight; but some
how it seems impossible for me to do
so-oh, dearest, can't you say some
thing to comfort me, for there doesn't
seem to be any light anywhere2"
let my hand fall tenderly over her
flushed cheek, my heart full to bursting.
What is it, dear?'
Then it all came out; the story of
faithless lover and false friend My
words of comfort came falteringy-
foolishly, thought; but she raised her
head after a while with a new light on
her lovely face--a strong light born of
the wreck of her first fresh love, and I
saw that she had risen above the shadow
in the valley.
Grandma" she said, softly, with
her cheek pressed lovingly against my
hands, " thank God that he has let
you come into our lives to be such a
help and comfort to us all. Do you
know that papa and mamma say that to
go into your room is to them like enter
ing into a sanctuary? Even Jack
seems better and purer after he comes
out of it. Oh, grandma, it is a beauti-
full work that is in your hands, and we
have needed you so muchl How l wish
that were worthy to sit at your feet,
my dear patient saint"
She rose to 90 after little, and stood
tall and straight and queenly, with the
glow of the log-fire on her white gown,
and the brown head bent so humbly be-
fore me.
{" a sudden sweet thought came to
me. Kneel down to me moment,
dearie," | said, and turning, shipped
my beautiful rose from its swaying
stem--a foolish pain in my heart the
while-and then placed it in Del's hair
to work what good it might possibly do
in bis name.
d" / shall wear it tonight" she whis-
pered with soft kiss, and then slipped
away from me into her world again
All, me, sat in a kind of dream
after that, seeing before me as in a
vision from heaven the words that
showed me my life-work while on
earth, " Comfort We, comfort ye my
people"
Aud so that was why this helpless
ness was meant, after ALTO " COM
fort his peoplel' All, my beautiful
work, how it warmed my heart to think
of it'll
Iput out my hand and drew my Bible
toward NE fearlessly at last. l could
not see to read it in the darkness, but
was content first to let my hand rest
upon it in manifestation of my broken
will.
1t was late, nearly morning, when
Del knelt down beside my bed to say
goodnight
gave my rose to John Lawrence
grandma" she said, half shyly, at the
last, she has loved me hopelessly for
many years, but that was all the hope
l could give him-yet."
l was satisfied, for my rose had done
its work, and / had found mine in the
Lords way that had seemed so bitterly
hard at the first.-ChriStidn at Work.

Talking'of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
eveyytAing - and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
" stuff" you lose faith in eoery-
ling.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
SO, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, Of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do - you
get your money back.

SPECIMEN CAsEs.-S. II. Clifford,
New Cassel, Wis, was troubled with
neuralgia and rheumatism, his stomach
was disordered, his liver was affected
to an alarming degree, appetite fell
away, and he was terribly reduced in
flesh and strength. Three bottles of
Electric Bitters cured him. Edward
Shepard, Harrisburg, H., had run
ming sore on his leg of eight years
standing. Used three bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters and seven boxes of Buck
lens Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound
and well. John Speaker, Catawaba,
Ohio, had five large fever sores on his
leg. Doctors said he was incurable.
One bottle of Electric Bitters and one
box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured
him entirely. Sold at g. Blakely's
drugstore, Montpelier, VT.

Shetland Ponies.

The conventional shetland pony-the
animal represented in the picture
books--namely, about forty to forty
four inches high, very tight jointed,
and with an impossible growth of hair
all over him, is just about as bad type
OF this famous race as can well be inn
agined. From his build he is generally
short winded and thoroughly impracti-
cable in his PAGES. A South Mainland
specimen, on the other hand, long and
rakieh in build-hard-grown, as the say
ing is--and clean-limbed, will far sur
pass his companion in staying power.
One of this hardy breed-in our opin-
ion the ideal Shetland pony-has been
known to travel from Sumburgh to Ler-
wick and back the same day, with toll
erably heavy riding weight, say fifty-six
miles altogether of extremely billy
road. But minor differences apart,
there are certain Characteristic
failing tests in their way with the eXpe-
rienced judge-which 90 to The make
up" of a Shetland, as distinguished
from an Iceland or Farce pony-e. e.,
certain unmistakable breadth of
build, set of pasterns, and, more par
ticularly, an apathetic air which no
other breed possesses. Your "Shel-
tie " is not quick animal, is inclined
to be sleepy rather than otherwise in
his PAGES, and is, as a rule, disposed to
do no more than he can help in the
way of exertion, though, if put to it,
be evinces great power of endurance,
and will go through an immense amount
of work for his size. The Iceland va
riety is altogether inferior, short-lived,
narrower in build, and generally falla-
cious, but, with all this, he is quicker,
livelier, and lacks the air of pensive
melancholy which haunts every Shet-
land pony. Our advice is to avoid the
inferior animal, however highly recon-
mended. Their price is, roughly speak
ing, about half that of the Shetlander,
but the money is ill-saved. The aver
age life of an Icelander is about twelve
or thirteen years, while the other will
live to twenty-five or even more .-PopW-
lar Science Monthly.

The Oldest Tree on Earth.

The oldest tree on earth, at least as
far as any one knows, is the Boo "
tree in the sacred city of Amarapoora,
Burmah. 1t was planted, the record
says, in the year 2SS b. c., and is,
therefore, nearly 2,200 years old. Its
great age is proved according to historic
documents, says Sir James Emerson,
who adds: ITO it kings have dedi-
Gated their dominions in testimony of a
belief that it is a branch of the iden-
teal fig tree under which Buddha re-
clined at Urumelva when he under
went his apotheosis." Its leaves are
carried away by pilgrims as relics, but
as it is too sacred to touch with a knife.
these leaves can only be gathered after
they have falen.-St. Louis Republic.
