THE SILENT PRESENCE.

To the shrine of Dumbfaced silence.
r. tie buckeye town of Canton.
Go the 'rading q O. Peters.
On their painful pilgrimages.
At the sunrise, at the sunset.
And at noon they've turned their faces.
Stretched their hands and genufect-
ed,
But their prayers have been unan-
swered.
All their pIeadings pass unheeded,
And so fast they follow after
That they tread upon each other
In their great desire to get there.
In the Presence of the Silence.
Each one standing with head uncover
ed,
Waiting, waiting for the Absence
OF the Silence of the Presence,
But the Absence of the Silence,
Has not come to strike their ear
drums;
At least, it hasn't in eXtensO,
Or that anybody knows of.
Growing weary, then, with waiting,
Come again these Party Pilgrims
From the shrine of Dumbfaced Sill
ence.
Out into the golden sunlight,
Ont into the silver moonlight.
OF the country all around them;
Bringing with them wads of silence,
Scattering it in scads and slathers,
From the cold and stern Atlantic
To the warm and mild Pacific,
Proving thus that Hanna's Prophet
In his Canton Shrine of Silence,
Fed them on the meat he feeds on;
And they left him as they found him,
Neither one thing nor another,
Yet quite willing to be either.

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
omething About tho New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.
CFrom Mich. Christian Advocate.)

(From Mich. Christian Advocate.)
The Rev. F. I. Bell, highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga Co.,
n. Y, in q recent letter writes as follows:
There has never been an ything that have
taken that has relieved the Dyspepsia from
which l have suffered for ten years except
the new remedy called Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets. Since taking them | have had no
distress at all after eating and again after
long years can sleep well. Rev. F. 1. Bell,
Weedsport, n. Y, formerly Idalia, Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is q remark
able remedy, not only because it is a GER
tain cure for all forms Of indigestion, but
because 1t seems to act as thoroughly in
old chronic cases OF Dyspepsia as we'll as
in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness.
person has dyspepsia simply because
the stomach is OVERW ORKED, all it wants
is harmless vegetable remedy TO digest
the fccd aud thus give it the much needed
REST.
This is the secret of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or bow much disordered the digestion may
be, Stua rts Dyspepsia Tablets WILL
DIGEST THE FOOD WHETHER THE
STOMACH WORKS OR NOT. New life
and energy is given not only to the stomach
but to every organ and nerve in the body.
A trial OF this splendid medicine will con-
vince the most skeptical that dyspepsia and
all stomach troubles CAN BE CURED,
The tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co. of Marshall, Mich, but SO
popular has the remedy become that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets can now be OBJ
tanned at any drug store at 80 cents per
package.

ORIOLES AT PRACTICE.

The Champion Orioles arrived at Macon
Monday morning and went to work al once
Notwithstanding their long Journey. they
put in a hard haif days practice in the
afternoon. After week OF COED weather it
ciouded up Monday nigh and began raining
about this morning.
Just our luck remarked one OF the
boys, referring TO the wet weather Be-
fore noon, however, the clouds broke away,
the sun Shone brightly and the air became
delightfully."- baImy.
Manager Hanlon never boasts, but his
genial face wore a smile. especially after
the practice, and he remarked: The
DetToits got their spring practice here
when the club with which l was con-
Rected won the pennaht, and the Balti-
inores prdCticed here in 81, as well as
last year, so you see consider Macon my
mascot. Besides this, believe it is the
best place on the continent for preliminary
baseball work"
They all took turns in the field and at
the bat in practice, all the pitchers doing
little twirlng by turns. except Mcmahon
and Esper. Mcmahon batted up flies for
the Outffeld most of the time while ESper
was kept very busy catching flies and chls-
ing grounders in rightfield. Mcmahon Will
be slow about pitching, but says his arm
Is all right and Manager Hanlon thinks
likewise
ESper is an example of the great i'm
provenent in the club. He is from fifteen
to twenty pounds lighter than he was at
the end of last season, ard after chasing
balls in the field for nearly two hours he
ran around the mile track without any
trouble.
Capt. Robinson is another shining ex-
ample of Improvement. He has trained
nd he a,,lI
vim and enthusiasm during the practice
after which he ran hS mile in fast time
and With perfect ease. It is doubtful il
lie was ever in finer playing condition
than now.
Joe Corbett made a very favorable i'm
preston. both in the field and at pitching.
He handles himself admirably. and if he
can bat AMI run bases he ought to become
a first-class ball player
Stoc6staie also showed himself a ball
player He is good fielder and a heavy
batter and his pitching was good, although
it is entirely too early to form any reliable
opinion about that, as none of the pitchers
let themselves out.
The individual Improvement In the team
is observable in Clarke also. He Cantered
around the track like a deer with BroCie
and then ran nearly all the way to the
hotel and was as fresh as the proverbiaI
daisy.
Brodie, who always does something origi-
nal, played ali over the field and at the
bat, and then capered around the mile
track by Clarke's side carrying a heavy
bag full Of bats. Keitz also made his mile
easily. Mr. Hanlon refuses to let Nc
Graw and Keeler run the mile yet, as they
arc down pretty fine already.
McGraw, ReitZ, Keeler, Kelley, Brodie,
Stocksdale, and several others have their
batting eyes with them already and they
are doing sene hard hitting.
Doyle is a little over weight, but he went
into practice bubbHng over with enthu-
siasm, and is delighted with his situa-
ton. He finished his mile in good style.
Bowerman also showed I'D well, and
Hemming seems I'm better trim than he has
ever shown since he joined tbs club. The
mile was easy to him.

The Morality of Dancing.

Harmful: Demoralizing? Sinful? That
depends entirely upon the individual
and associations. Henry Ward Beeche,
once said: Il have numerous inquiries
as to what l think about church mem
bers attending theaters. To such l al.
ways ask, What do you think of it YOUR
self? If You think it is harmful, then il
is harmful. If not, under rational con.
ditions, there is no harm whatever in
1t. And so it is with dancing. Those
who dance purely for the sake of amuse.
ment or for the ease and grace which
the pastime imparts to the individual
can derive no harm from it. Those who
are demoralized by dancing would be
led astray by anything else. Always
taking into consideration selectness and
respectability, dancing of itself ought
not to harm if the individual person so
wills it.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
