The Hdverhill Gazette, now In the
front RANK of newspapers, stands for
the journalistic ability of one man.
John B. Wright impressed his strong
personality on the paper from the day
that he secured control.
His accurate sense of news and
steady judgment of men and events has
built up the Haverhill Gazette to it's
present newspaper leadership of north
ern Massachusetts.
Editor Wrlghts long and brilliant
work on the Boston Herald, as chief of
department of special writer's" has all
been utilized in the building up of this
successful newspaper. 1t will surprise
no one that getting out a big news
paper, like the Gazette, morning after
morning. and year after year, in the
heat and smoke of fierce political con-
physical strain.
Incessant work told on Editor
Wright; but because he made use at
orce of Paine's celery compound, he
is today fully restored to his old time
f0rceful, vigorous habit of mind and
body. He says of this great remedy:
HaVerhill, Mass, Oct. s, '97.
Gentlemen:-lt is with great pleas
ure that l bear testimony to the bene-
fetal results which almost invariably
follow the use of that king of all rem
edies-Paine's celery compound. AS a
tonic, free from deleterious materials,
it has, to my way of thinking, no equal.
This remedy is a positive boon to all
nerve-wrecked men of business. un-
hesitatingly commend it to all persons
who are, as I was, thoroughly Worn
out. Very truly yours.
JOHN B. WRIGHT.

not solve, but it is certain that a great
deal of money is made by the produce
ers. The usual price paid for these
artificial oysters is three cents each,
or thirty cents a dozen, and sometimes,
in the secOnd-class restaurants, they
are to be had for two cents each,
though they are not apt to be very
fresh at that price. You order a plate
on the half she'll and when the waiter
brings them to you they look as nice
as the real oyster that you get I'm the
best New York oyster house. If you
are not a good judge of oysters you
will eat them with your wine and go
away without asking any questions.
The only really genuine thing about
them Is the shells. The manufacture
ers. was told buy secondhand shells
from the restaurant keepers at a small
expense. and with a harmless and
tasteless paste fastcn the spurious
oyster in its place. Only one-half of
the shell is used for the purpose, and
in that shape the fraud oysters are
packed in tiers in boxes and baskets,
which are displayed in windows on
counters or on shelves. Others to be
served without the shells are put up
in cans, or in glass jars containing
from % to 100. The limitations are
consumed in such quantities that the
dealers in real oysters are urging the
restaurant and hotelkeeners to break
up their shells as fast as their con-
tents are eaten, and even pay the
cooks and walters literally to pound
them to pieces, so that the makers OF
the artificial article viii have a limited
supply of shells"

TIE WHALE AND THE CREED.

'1s something that l never take a
start in,
hate to see good people rant and rail
OF things on which no one should feel
too "sartin;"
SO this dispute 'twiXt Jonah and the
whale
It's hard to see how one can take much
heart in,
And get his feelings all torn up and net
tied
About thing that never can be settled.
have friend as old as he can be-
His legs are wabbly and his head Is
hoaTy,
Who in a thousand ways has shown to me
A faith implicit in the Jonah story:
His old wife with him scarcely can agree,
She says it is an ancient allcgoTy.
And he, in peace, permits his wife to
doubt it,
Though years ago they quarrelled some
about it.
The Bible is a book that l adore
For precepts found within it's pages
Ofte when FMS sad l turn its pages DER
And read the record of departed sages ;
But matters in dispute, alas, no more
My way-worn and distracted mind en-
cages, ..
Like Jonah and the whale and Noah's
landing .,
And things that tax my feeble under
standing.
l read instead what l can understand
The story of a Fathers love, undying,
The promise of another, better land
Beyond this vale of pain and want and
sighing
A mansion in city great and grand,
The glory of mans highest art outvy-
ing,
Where wickedness can come to torture
never,
And weary souls can rest in peace for
ever.
And while don't bank much on any creed
And doctrines taught by schools eccles-
| iastic,
/ gather comfort from the things / read
