YOUR WORST ENEMY WRITING
With the rheumatism is an individual
whom, if you have a Christian spirit,
you would forgive. He is, no matter
what his delinquencies, punished
enough. Nothing short Of Tophet
could enhance his misery. Moreover,
he is in serious peril. The disease is al
ways prone to attack his heart and kill
him instanter AS means of curing
this disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters has the highest reputation and the
most authoritative professional sane
ton. It's use in the preliminary stage
of the complaint is the wisest precau-
tionary measure rheumatic inyalids
can possibly adopt. The Bitters is
also a remedy of the greatest utility in
malarial and kidney trouble, dyspepsia
and liver complaint, constipation and
nervousness. 1t fcounteracts the eff
fects of hardship and exposure in damp
or inclement weather, and is capital
promoter Of appetite and sleep. Give
this fine remedy the persistent trial to
which all medicines Of standard repu-
tation are entitled.

4 SONG or THE WORLD.

This world of ours is not as drear
As we would often take It,
Nor is it half as lonely here
AS many people make it.
If skies are sometimes overcast
And all seems dark before US,
The sunshine always comes at last
And throws its splendor DER us!
A little while and we are gay,
And then our hearts are saddened;
And so it is, from day to day,
Our lives are grieved and gladdened,
We seek the joys that fortune brings,
Though hardly worth the giving,
But oft forget the little things
That sweeten life and living.
There is beauty that adorns
This changing life of ours,
For if our pathway has its thorns
1t also has it's flowers;
And Hope is ever whispering nigh,
If we would only hear it;
The cross would never make us sigh
If we would meeSly bear II!

dress to the President explanatory of the
history and objects of the board.

qualification in meeting the members Of the
board and was glad to acknowledge the
great usefulness of those voluntary organ
iZations whose purpose was to stimulate
trade and TO say that the day would come
when the people would appreciate their
efforts.
Mr.. Vim. f. Tucker of Philadelphia. was
