Gold Versus Life.

Men are at present risking their
lives for gold. There is a STAN
pede of eager martyrs to the iE
hospitable country of the klon
dyke. Many will perish from
cold and hunger. Not one quar-
ter of the people who go there
will ever return. Not one half OF
those who do return will return
any richer than they went. They
will not only endanger their health
but their lives for the sakeaof gold.
And yet everybody says that
health is more precious than gold.
The thing which restors health is
therefore, more precious than
gold. Pe-ru-na restors health,
cures all forms Of weakness, all
forms and s'ages of catarrh, builds
up brokendowL constitutions.
brings new life back to all those
who have become prematurely

Picnic at Mingo.

a lingering thought in the
minis of our young people is that
of the moonlight picnic gwen at
Mr G D Cooks last Wednesday
night. Such treats are few and
far between ip our neiehborhood
and when one has been attended
its pleasant recol!ectious are hard
to erase. 1t was a moonlight
picnic indeed, for the moon was
nearly full and there was no
clouds to mar the beauty of the
scene. The place was admirably
Snitedto the occasion and indeed,
everything was coducive to en-
JOY ment. During the first hour
after the crowd arrived, the young
people coupled off and strolled
back and fourth across the lawn,
or seated themselves in the shade
of some friendly oak or some fence
corner, and then hidden away
from the eyes OF the crowd, they
told-we don't know what. Thus
the time passed pleasantly until
supper was announced, and what
a repast it was! 1t reminded one
of IA wedding supper and it Ger
tainly would have done justice 10
such and occasion. The COM
mittee ON entertaipment spared
no pains in trying TO make the
crowd enjoy themselves and eat
their share, too. The time after
supper was spent as before. and
what boy would not have enjoyed
a half night in the company OF
such pretty young LADIES? The
old saying is that "distance lends
enchantment to the view," but
we think the moonlight must
have lent it that night, for the
rir,S lool, ed sweefer than we ever
saw them. AS a general thing
most of the pretty girls of a coun
Itv are found in the towns, but We
challenge any town in the State
to show prettier set of girls
generally than Mingo hes. A:
midnight the crowd withdrew tc
dream of the occasion we al. wish
could be enjoyed again.
