EASY, ALI

"Easy, alll' rings out the order,
And the muscles cease to strain.
And the swing of oars in rowlocks
Stops its rhythmical refrain,
And the sinking heart beats freely,
And the spent breath comes again.
"Easy, alll' Oh, joyous mandate
To the strugglers on life's flood,
Be it but n passing respite
For the brain and strength and blood,
Though far distant be the guerdon-
Fame or wealth or livelihood
When the summer sunshine brightens
Grimy street and sullen wall,
From the strips of azure heaven
Seems to come the kindly call:
"Rest awhile, ye weary toilersi
Drop your oars and easy, ALI"

Men and women tremble at the mere
thought of the thief and assassin who steals
in at midnight to rob and slay. Without a
qualm these same people face the deadly
advances of foe infinitely more dangerous,
All the robbers and assassins in the history
of crime did not slay as many human beings,
as consumption kills in a single year One
sixth of the population of the world dies of
this deadly pestilence. 1t turks IN every
home and in every public place, waiting for
its victims. There is but one protection
against it. The microbes of consumption
may be safely defed by those who keep
their blood rich in tissue building elements
and free from impurities The lungs, il
supplied with pure blood, furnish no foot
hold for the germs of consumption.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the greatest of all known blood purifiers. 1t
is the best tonic and invigorator AS flesh
builder it has no equal. 1t has cured thou
sands of consumptives who have been pro-
nounced incurable by physicians. It fills
the arteries with rich, red, tissue building
blood, and drives from the system all dis
ease germs. Thousands have testified to
its merits.

pound on the pure article and pro.

Nevada constituents may be able to
sell borax for twice it's value to the

KILLED ISAAC.
fanaticaI Sacrifice Of His Son by Demented
Negro Preacher in Alabama.

fanaticaI Sacrifice Of His Son by Demented
Negro Preacher in Alabama.
Elba, Ala, May 8.-Oscar Will
liams, a colored Baptist preacher
residing in the negro settlement
three miles from town, went daft
lately over the story of Abraham and
Isaac, which was his favorite text
and which he held as his pattern of
faith The negroes thought little
Of his idiosyncrasy which developed
into his having visions, in which he
said he had been commissioned from
on high to repeat Abraham testi
monial of obedience.
When the old man started into
the woods this morning with his
2 year old SOD, whose name is Isaac,
which helped to carry out the crazy
man s conception, no one suspected
any thing wrong. In a half hours
time terrific screams were heard and
neighbors rushed to the woods.
In the heart of thicket they dis.
covered the boy strapped to log
and the old man standing over him
with bloody knife in bis hand. The
boy died soon after the nejghbors
arrived the old man having cut his
throat.
When questioned as to the reason
for his crime. the old man ssid that
he had obeyed the Lord, who had
comm anded the sacrifice aud did not
interrupt it The superstitious ne
grces were too dazed to arrest the
maniac, who wandered off in the
depth of the forest where officers
have now gone to get him.
