Catching Sunshine,

My next door neighbours little girl
cunning two-year-old,
Wondered one day why dropped her flowers,
And pleaded to be told.
Then said her mamma, " Here in doors
The sunshine doesn't come
To warm and bless and gladden. them,
And make them feel at home"
Next morning when she went to seek
Her darling at her play,
She found her standing in the sun
In just the queerest way;
For there she held aloft cup
Above her pretty head.
what are you doing, Lolo dear2"
Mamma. astonished, said.
And she, her cup still held aloft-
Bless her, ye heavenly powersl-
Pm catching sunshine, mamma dear,
To give my little flowers"
Type of all children there was she,
Who in life's garden stand,
Still holding tenderly aloft
Their life-cup in their hand.
We, buried in our sordd cares,
Are plants that droop and die;
They catch Gods sunshine as 1t flows
Forever from on high.
Upon our weary, aching hearts
They let its blessing fall;
Their Office this In every land,
In cottage, hut and hall.
And so the world is kept alive,
And freshened every minute,
BY the dear grace that overfiows
The children who are In 1t.

POETRY.
BE RecOnciled.

BE RecOnciled.
Sometimes the way seems very hal d
To sad hearts mourning here,
Who do not know the reason why
Gods hand seems so severe.
We think II very, very hard,
When we are called to part
with those whose love has been like chains
To bind us heart to heart.
We think our heavy crosses
Too hard for us to bear;
Think of that cross that Jesus bore,
That we the crown may wearl
May we be reconciled to Him,
who doeth all things well,
Who loved us so lie left His throne
And came to earth to dwell.

COnyalescent,

The fever went at the turn of the night,
She lies like lily white and still,
But her eyes fun of the old love-ght:
She'll live, If it be Gods will.
Gods WILL had it been to snatch her away,
We had bowed, we had knet, we had kissed the
rod,
But his own dear i'll bids darling stay,
And we, we just thank God.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY II, 1886.
SIN AT A BIRTH.

Fritz Heinsnit lives on farm neal
Fowler, Ind. Until Friday night
his unpretentious house was occupied
by his wife, three children and himself
Saturday morning there were nine child
rem, six of them being less than day
old. About twelve o'clock the same
night Mr.. Heinsnit was aroused from
his sleep and urged by Mrs. Heinsnit
to 90 for the doctor. He had his fastest
horse already hitched, and within five
minutes was tearing over the pike.
Heiusnit was thinking of less than
two years ago, when he made the same
.ort of a trip. On that occasion his
proud wife presented him with two
girls and boy. In few minutes the
medical man was in the seat beside
.iGn and the return was made with all
possible speed.
The doctor FASTENED to his patient,
while Heinsnit took his horse to the
barn. When he reached the house
Mrs. Schmidt, a neighbor, came hurrying
into the kitchen with little Heinsnil
that was already making his presence
heard. "a boy" exclaimed Mrs
Schmidt. Another neighbor, Mrs.
Wrinkle, shuffled into the kitchen with
second little Heinsnit.
"a little girl, !" she said, as she push.
ed the astonished Mr.. Heinsnit out of
TIE way. Very shortly his sister,in-
law, Mrs. Haas, came in carrying little
lieinsnit No. 3
"a how" snapped Mrs. Haas:
Poor Heinsnit turned himself around
Just in time to meet his wife's mother
with the fontth little Heinsnit. The
dfth and sixth little Heinsnits severally
made their appearance in rapid success
sion. The physician declared that
Mrs. Heinsnit will be all right in few
days, while the babies, three boys AID
three girls, are as bright and well de,
veioped as the average children.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heinsnit were married
in Pennsylvania in 1890, and have been
living in Indiana since 1898.

The First Cup Matches of the Sea-

The first schedule events for the season
of the California Cricket Association for
the Hunter Harrison Cup" will be played
tomorrow. AT Alameda the club of that
name, which starts the season in the first
place, will contend with the Pacific COM
bination. The formidable Bohemians will
meet the California team at Golden Gate.
Both events will be watched with un-
usual interest for new names appear in
all four elevens and this infusion of new
blood may change the present order OF the
competing clubs very materially.
Our Eastern friends are busily preparing
to open the season as soon as the weather
makes it possible. Enthusiasm on the
game is particularly evident at Chicago.
In the st. Georges Club there has been a
large influx of talent, and large sum of
money has been spent in i'm proving their
already excellent ground.
1t is rumored that the Cambridge eng

lief that it will be helpful in every case.
Very sincerely yours, A. A. BENNETT.
If we all led out-of-door lives, went to
bed at sundown, and had no consuming
cares nor hard work to bring down the
health, there might not be the urgent ne
cessity that now exists for taking this best
of spring remedies-Paine's celery COM
pound.
But as the great majority of lives are
ordered-with TOO much work, too much
anxiety, too little sleep, by the time win
ter is over the drain on the nervous energy
has become excessive, the nerves are in
sad need of being strengthened, and the
blood of being purified.
faine's celery compound absolutely
meets this great modern necessity.
Paine's celery compound will bring back
nerve strength and replace Door, thin, pale
blood with ruddy, matchmaking stream.
1t is the one great practical remedy adj
vocated by all physicians.
1t drives away that feeling of utter ex-
haustion that is so common in the spring,
but no less dangerously significant because
1T is so common. 1t makes people we'll.
1t is a thousand times superior to all the
ordinary sarsaparillas, nervines and tonics
ever made.
Paine's celery compound is the one real
spring remedy known to-day that never
fails to benefit. Get Paine's celery COM
pound, and only Paine's celery compound,
if you wish to be well.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT
Clever Manner in Which the
American Bark Seminole
Was Repaired.
The Steamer Point Arena and the
Wrecker Whitelaw Drifted on
the Rocks.

The bark Seminole which arrived from
Sydney, N. s. W., yesterday, with 2158
tons of coal, had peculiar experience.
She sailed on February Is, and two DAYS
later Captain Weeden discovered that she
was leaking. An examination showed
that butt three feet under she waterline
had started, and an effort was made to re-
pair the damage. Over fifty tons of the
cargo was jettisoned, but the. leak could
not be reached.
Captain Weeden then decided to run for
the island of Tongareva. which place he
reached on March Is. For a few dollars
he hired couple of pearl-divers, and in
less than an hour these men had located
the leak and patched the hole up with a
piece of lead. The men went down stark
naked, and would work under water for
couple of minutes at time. Had an
American diver been used it would proba-
bly, have cost the ship couple of hundred
dollars. After discbarging the Seminole
will go on the drydock for an overhauling.
The steamer City of Peking arrived from
China and Japan yesterday. There were
only four cabin passengeTs-C. p. Troy
and II. w. Oliver and two Japanese. In
China the plague is still raging, but in

Season To-Day.

The Corinthians viii Open the
Season To-Day.
The Corinthian Yacht Club, which is
composed of the most jovial and enthu-
siastic yachtsmen of the coast, will open
its season of pleasure outings to-day at
Tiburon.
Promptly at 2 o'clock festivities will
begin. An elaborate vaudeville programme
has been arranged for the entertainment
of the lady friends of the yachtsmen, for
the Corinthians always believe in having
the fair sex present at their opening days.
In the evening the iinks will commence
and will be exclusively for the members
and their gentlemen friends. It promises
to be a rare treat as the jolly tars intend
to conduct festivities with lavish hand.
To deviate the course of social enjoy
ment papers from yachting authorizes
will be read and the affairs of the club dis
cussed, and on the morrow the yachts of
the Corinthians will cruise in squadron
about the bay, when the season will be
