How like the Holy Book the record reads
Our hearts must needs recall
The days of Moses and Joshua,
OF David and of Saul.
Before us Hermon rears his snowy head,
Above us softly shine
Judean skies, and blown around our feet
Lilies of Palestine.
AS that dim, old time boundary is placed.
Our sea of life beside,
Marking for us one mighty ebb and flow
GIFTS slow moving tide.
And not unmeet it seems to us to write
Another later name
Among the Saints, and heroes there enrolled,
For long and sacred fame.
Dear Shepherd, who hast led us forty years,
With love that never fails,
Through calm and storm, on sunny heights
Or down through shadow haunted wales
Thyvoice has fallen in blessing on our babes,
Our joys have all been thine
And to Onr sorrows thou hast mnistered
With comfort all divine.
Oh, linked to us by every tender tie,
With eyes made dim by tears,
We turn the pages and bless God for thee
Throughout these forty years.

Ny wife has been troubled for years with dry
crusts and scales ON her head and eyebrows.
After seeming to lie dormant for years in her
system, it broke out again in all its fury. Her
hair came out in big patches, her eyebrows all
iell OIL, and she presented pitable condition.
we tried almost everything, but she continued
TO get worse. Then we tried one of our best
physicians, but all to no purpose. Finally she
believed that the CUTICURA REMEDIES would
cure her. After using nine boxes of CUTICURA,
about a dozen cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and
four bottles Of CUTICURA REsOLYENT, she was
entirely cured. Her hair came on again, and
to-day she has as fine n head of black curly hair
and as smooth skin as any lady in Allentown.

they ever were, her scalp is free from dandrutf,

WORK OF REFORMERs.

Consumers generally are
now paying fourteen cents a
gallon for coal oil for which
they paid just seven cents a
year ago, and are naturally
asking questions about this
abnormal increase. The real
answer is found in the late
Legislature, a reform body that
passed an act repeating the
free pipe line bill, thereby Civ
ing to the Standard Oil Com
pany a complete monopoly of
the oil production of the State.
As an entirely reform body the
Legislature started in TO pay
past debts and meet a number
OF obligations that become
known as the new laws 60 into
effect. and this increase in the
single item OF coal oil simply
shows what the reformers have
been doing. OF course the
farmers whom this sort OF leg
lslation directly affects will APP
preciate the wave of reform as
it keeps rolling on. -PHIadcl-
