The SWEET. SAD YEARS.

The sweet. sad years. the sun. the rain.
Alas. too quickly did they wanei
For each some boon. some bless oore
OF smiles and tears each had MS store,
Its checkered lot of bliss and pain
Although It idle be and vain,
Yet cannot the wish restrain
That had held them evermore,
The sweet, sad years!
Like echo Of an old refrain
That long within the mind has lain.
.Ikeep repeating DER and DER.
'Nothing can e'er the past restore;
Nothing bring back the years again.
The sweet, sad years"
Rev. Charles D. Bell.

Women Carry Dargers.

A prominent jeweler says that he sells
a number of daggers annually to women
These are not ornaments. but serious
weapons. They are just large enough
to slip easily inside woman's gown.
Some women have these made to order,
when they are lavishly adorned and in
crusted with precious stones. They are
frequently carried in travelling, when
they are intended as weapons of defense.
They are preferred to revolvers, which
are likely to go off summarily and IN the
wrong direction.-Jewelers' Circular.

Disease, like train, acquires momentum.
One can't attend too early to the signs of nervous
debility. Habits are creases in the body often
made as thoughtlessly the folds in an old news
paper. Every time You double up under the pain
of rheumatism or dyspepsia or neuralgia you
deepen very bad habit.
Grasp your illness by the forelock, drag it from
its hiding place, and it loses half itSterror.
One of the most popular passenger agents in the
United States, well as one of the ablest, is Mr..
NJ B. Tooker of the Grand Trunk railroad. His
home is at Suspension Bridge, n. Y.
Mr.. Tooker, whose portrait is printed here, is
known everywhere a man of great energy and
push. His advice has always gone a long way in
railroad matters, and he Is possessed of those rare
qualities which make him a good friend and ad-
visor in everyday matters Of life.
Several years ago Mr. Tooker was a sufferer
from that very common complaint, rheumatism,
which has been notably prevalent for the last few
years. As every one knows, it is one Of the most

painful OF diseases, and until the recent discovery
of Prof. Phelps OF Dartmouth College, was con-
sidered almost always incurable.
Mr.. lockers experience was very much like that
of scores of people in probably every town large
enough TO have drug store.
"For two years. says Mr.. Tooker, al suffered
from rheumatism and kidney trouble, for which
tried various remedies with no success. A clergy.
man advised me to try Paine's celery compound.
did so, and was surprised at the effect. After
taking one bottle was entirely relieved. l have
taken two bottles and am cured"
As well-known and conservative physician IN
Washington has said, "Paine's celery compound II
generally considered certain SPECIFIC for the cure
Of rheumatism, and so much better results are OBJ
tanned from it than from all the usual remedies
that it has become regular prescription among
the most eminent practitioners. I prescribe II
regularly and believe that every rheumatic victim
should use IT,"
