The readers of the ROUNDABOUT
will be pleased to learn that
there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all
it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in it's curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

THE NEW CHURCH ORGAN.

WILL M. CARLETON
they've got a bran new organ, Sue,
For all their fuss and search,
They done just as they said they'd do,
And fetched it into church.
They're bound the critter shall De seen,
And on the preachers right,
They've hoisted up the new machine
In eyerybody's sight.
They've got new chorister and choir,
Agin my voice and vote;
For it was never my desire
To prai Sc the Lord by note!
I'VE been sister good and true,
For five and thirty years;
I'VE done what seemed my part to DO,
An prayed by duty clear;
I've sung the hymn both slow and quick,
just as the preacher read;
And twice, when Deacon Tubbs was sick,
took the fork and led!
And now their bold. new-fangled ways,
Is COMM ull about;
And 1, right in my latter days.
Am fairly crowded out!
To-day the preacher. good old dear,
with tears all in his eyes,
Read can read my title clear
To mansions in the Skies"
alays liked that blessed hymn
Is'pose al'ays will;
1t somehow gratifies my within
In good old "Ortonviile;'S
But when that choir got up to sing,
couldn't catch word;
They sung the most dog-gonedcst thing,
A body ever heard!
Some worldly chaps was standln' near, ?
And when seed them grin.
1 bid farewell te every fear,
And boldly waded in.
thought ia chase their tune along,
An tried with all my might;
But though my voice is good ana strong,
couldn't steer 1t right;
When they was high, then 1 was low,
An also contra wise;
And too fast, or they too slow,
To "mansions in The skies"
An after every verse, you know,
They played a little tune;
didn't understand and so
started in too soon.
pitched 1t pretty middin' high,
fetched a lusty tone,
But oh, alas! L found that
Was singin. there alone!
They laughed II little, l am told,
But had done my best,
And not wave OF tronble rolled
Across my troubled breast.
And sister Brown-I could but look
She sits right front of me;
She never was no singin' book,
An never meant to be;
1t then she ul'ays tired to do
The best she could, she said;
She understands the limo right though
An keeps it with her head;
But when she tried this mornin' oh,
had to laugh or congh-
1t keeps her head a bobbin so,
teen most came otfl
An Deacon Tubbs. he all broke down,
As one might well suppose
He took one look at Sister Brown.
And meekly scratched his nose.
He looked his hymn book through and
through
And laid it on the seat,
And then pcnsive sigh he drew,
And looked completely beat.
An, when they took another bout,
He didn't even rise,
But drawed his red bandanncr out
An wiped his weepiH eyes
I've been sister good and true,
For five and thirty years;
I've done what seemed my part to5do.
An prayed my duty clear;
But death will stop my voice know,
For he is on my track;
And someday to church will go,
And never more come back
And when the ioIks get up to sing
whene'er that time shall be-
do not want no patent thing
squeain' over me!
