WHEN MARY DIED.

The dear home stands in d shady grove,
Among whose branches the mourning dove
Calls to its mate through the summer day,
Where sunlight and shadows ever play;
Here came the raindrops and evening dew.
Like to the sorrows and hopes we knew,
Which fell on our lives in rising tide,
And oped the flood gates OF sorrow wide,
When Mary died.
When Mary died,
The summer was dying and the bright leaves
Said
Soon must we drop to our messy bed;
The nights are chill and the summer air
Grows cold, and the flowers once so fair
Henceforth will fade and cease to bloom:
Soon will the frost king seal our DOOM
And the flowers, bending low, replied:
We wait the summons side by side,''
When Mary died.
When Mary diedl
Q sacred room in the old home place
And memories dear of a loving face,
halo Of glory where the dear head lay,
AS ebbed that precious life away;
We thought fond voices mingled there,
That we heard a football on the stair:
The bridegroom cometh to meet his BRIDE"
Said the angel voice of a Heavenly guide,
When Mary died.
" uCA
The autumn winds went whispering low
Through branches swaying to and fro,
Their leaf1ess boughs approaching high,
Whose fallen leaves went hurrying by;
Leaves that fell near flowers dead,
While stars were watching overhead.
The dear home stands by the old roadside,
Where the morning air seemed sanctihed
When Mary died.
When Mary died,
Fair angels came one Sabbath morn
On their snowy wings, her spirit borne
Went up to Heaven, and the gates ajar
Awaited her coming from affair."
Still the dear home stands in clustering
grove,
Where the stars shone bright from realms
above
Through the pearly gates Of morningtide,
AS the curtains of night were drawn aside,
When Mary died.

they could make any further progress.
BY thus alternating with teams and
after desperate struggle, we managed
to reach a small shanty about twelve
miles from Luverne at four o'clock in
the afternoon. Here we found farmer

in a twelve y-sixteen room. We sue

this time had ceased some what in its
fury, but was still doing some good
work. Then began another battle
with the elements, and for almost ten
hours we plunged on through the
snow. We lost our way at least half
dozen times, and could only depend
upon the mail carrier and liverymen to
guide us by their general knowledge Of
the country and by following the
course of the wind. Several times we
were on the point of giving up in de-
spair as some poor, exhausted team
would sink down in the snow, utterly
unable TO take another step. But as
visions of home and the blessings of
life would come before us, and the
thought of freezing to death away out
there on the open prairie was terrible,

was perfectly familiar with the coun-
try when it was not covered with three
or four feet of ice and snow, and who
was at the time in the lead, shouted
back that we were now all right. He
had discovered some huge rocks at
whats was known as The Mounds
which was only about three miles from
Luverne. This information raised our
spirits and gave us new life, as from
that point to the town it was more
thickly settled and we had no difficulty
in keeping in what was the road when
it was not full of snow But it took us
over two hours to get from there to
Luverne, which place we reached about
three o'clock on the morning of the
18th, where we found plenty of kind
and willing people who had learned of
our leaving Pipestcne by it being tele-
graphed from Pipestone when we had
started, and who had remained up all
night waiting to see if we should get
through. We were all we'll cared for,
and although we were showed in there
for several days, we were only toe
glad to remain quiet and not make an
other attempt to get out, especially by
team.

markable reproduced statements together with
the faces of the men who made them. i
Kidney troubles, resulting far too often in
Bright's disease, are the great evil Of modern
life. They frequently come silently and unan-
nounced. Their presence far too often Is not
realized until their treacherous fangs have been
fixed upon the vital portion OF life. Nothing
can be more deceptive, for their symptoms are
varied In nearly every instance. Thousands OF
persons have been their victims without realiz-
ing or knowing what it is that afflicted them.
Thousands are suffering to-day who do not
know the cause.
The following outspol1en words, however,
show what wonderful things this great remedy
has done:
Mr.. Albert Cunning, Newmarket, Ia: "Six
years ago last winter was taken suddenly with
severe pains in my side and back. They con-
tinued so severe was finally compelled to take
to my bed and called doctor. After attending
me for about a week he advised me to try War
ner's Safe Cure, saying it had been used with
good results in cases of kidney and liver trouble
and he could do me no good towards curing the
disease, but only relieve the pain to some ex-
tent. became very weak, and my urine re.
sembled bloody milk. After taking two or
three bottles began to improve, and after
using seven bottles was entirely cured"

would go no further. The morning of
the tenth we pulled out for Pipestone,
which was fifteen miles. We were all
day making the trip, which 1 had
made many time in a couple of hours
by carriage.
s'When we reached Pipestone we
learned that they had had no train for
over three months, and the town was
suffering Tor every thing in the line of
groceries and fuel, having been COM
PEELED to make a raid on the lumber
yards in order to keep from freezing.
Here we found that liveryman
from Luverne named Canady, who
had been blocked in for two weeks, a
merchant from the same place named
Drew, Rev. Mr.. Lewis of Worthing-
ton. and the mail carrier between Pipe
stone and Luverne, named Mills, had
concluded to attempt to reach Luverne
the next day.
The morning of the 18th, how well
remember it! We were up bright and
early, and as it was clear and not SO
very cold, we determined to make a
start, although quite number of the
men about the hotel predicted storm
before the day was over. The wind
was in the northwest, which was
point in our favor, as itwould be in our
backs.
about nine o'clock we were ready
to start and nearly all the men and
boys of the town as well as many of
the women were at the Central house
to see US off. There were six teams
and ten men in the party as we pulled
out, much against the wishes Of many
of the citizens, who knew we would
be struck by blizzard before we could
reach what was called the Ridge post
Office.
8 .'Of course there was no sign Of a
road. When we started out, the mail
carrier, Mr.. Wells, took the lead, but.
as the snow was from two to four feet
deep it was slow progress, and his
team was soon turned out so that
another had to take the lead.

There has been an absolute revolution in the
practice OF medicine and in the treatment of
human ills. Instead Of undermining the vital
forces by cupping and bleeding, the vitality is
now sustained in every possible manner. In
stead Of tearing down we seek to build up. In
stead OF increasing misery we seek to create
happiness
But the greatest advancement in medical
science has been made by discovery. Harvey
could afford to endure the ridicule of the world
for revealing to it the grand discovery Of the
circulation of the blood. Jenner might be ostra-
cized, but millions have benefited by his dis
covery of vaccination. Pasteur lived in a more
enlightened age and escaped ridicule, while the
world received the benefit which his discoveries
have brought. Koch, althoue IN forced to reveal
his discovery before its perfection, will be re-
vered by future generations.
The discoveries Of these great men have been
Of untold benefit to the world, and yet they
were not in the line Of the worlds greatest
