NO MANS LAND.

Two shapes were walking on the strand
One stariit night in no mans land;
Two shapes that during mortal life
Gave hate for hope, IN deadly strife,
They met. Swift forth their falchions few;
Each pinned the other through and
through;
Yet neither fell. Again they struTs
For mastery, and madly drove
To right and left their falchions bright,
Nor sound nor cry profaned the night
Through corseIet, casque, and visor. too.
AS through the air their swift blades few
Until amazed they stood aghast,
And on the sands their weapons cast
Then laughed they both at mortal strife,
The passing dreams Of earthly life
and cleansing each the others hand
They walk the shades Of no mans land

All his efforts to release himself had

It was the face of Lewis lakewood

More than a score of years ago, an
eminent musical composer. whose
music is heard to-day in thousands of
places of religious worship throughout
the land, was suddenly cut down by
the reaper Death.
"How sad!' ''How mvsterious,''
many people said.
One who knew him best said: s'He
was taken away from the evil to
come," for, alas! though he had great
gifts, and was an influential member
of the church of God, he often resorted
to artificial stimulants to keep up the
strength which he felt he must have to
conduct his conventions successfully.
"What harm can q glass of beer do
SO great and good q man as -" was
said by some.
Others said: IF -- con drink a

good man."

weakness. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription puts a stop to it. It's
a remedy for all the delicate de-
rangements and disorders that make
her suffer, and a cure for all the dis
eases and disturbances that make
her weak. It's legitimate medi-
cine, that corrects and cures;
tonic that invigorates and builds
up; nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all the func-
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim to cure?
That's true. But they don't claim
to do this: if the Favorite Pre-
scription fails to give satisfaction,
in any case for which it's recon-
mended, the money paid for it is
refunded.

small village of Gibbsborough. 1t was
late in the autumn and the weather
was cold and gloomy, while the near
est neighbor was nearly a mile away;
yet they were never lonesome, for the
honeymoon was scarcely over and they
were still very fond of each others So
ciety.
Mr.. Gibbs, ST., lived at Gibbs borough,
and the two families were on the very
best of terms. The young people were
very comfortably situated, as Freeman
owned his farm, free of incum brance,
and had just sold his interest in man.
ufacturing enterprise at the village for
three thousand dollars in cash So the
future outlook was exceedingly bright
for the young couple.
The money for the quarter interest
in the factory was paid over to Mr..
Gibbs at his house one forenoon late in
November. Before he had time to
take it to the bank a driving snow
storm set in, andche concluded to wait
until the morrow rather than face such
tempest, although he realized that
verybody at the village proba bly,
knew there was a large sum in his
possession. A robbery had not been
committed in the vicinity for years,
and besides that Freeman was, u
courageous fellow who always kept q
revolver within reach; so he had no
fears for the safety of his money.
The storm increased in violence as
the night came on, and by dark there
were eight inches of snow that the
furious wind was rapidly whirling into
great heaps. Mr.. Gibbs and his wife
retired quite early, and, lulled by the
roar of the storm without, they were
soon sleeping as only light-hearted
young people can sleep.
1t was almost midnight when a
laundering knock at the door aroused
them both. Thrusting his head out of
the window, Mr.. Gibbs called out:
who is there?''
Lewis Jackwood,' was the answer.
"Your father has just had shock and
cannot live till morning. If you wish
to see him alive, come immediately
Lewis Lakewood was his fathers
neares* neighbour, so Freeman never
had doubt of the mans identity or
the truth of his tidings- OF course
anxiety for his stricken parent at
once overcame all fear of the terrible
storm.
Dare you stay alone and let me 20,
Nettie?" said he to his wife. NO team
can get through, so it is ont of the ques-
ton for you to attempt to get there
in this bitter tempest. AS for me, feel

answer, for Nettie Gibbs was no
