Love, Faith and Charity, these
three, but the greatest of all is
charity. So let Kaumakapili's chimes
ring out tomorrow, and so let the
worshippers sing heartily at the An
glican Church, the Roman Church
and the Central Union Church with
all the rest of the churches in sweet
alteration to the essence of all reli-
gions-love, faith and charity, and
for one day at least let the frost OF
the north give place to the balmy
zephyr of the south in our hearts
and let us all unite in wishing to
each other a Merry Christmas, and
If we can get it, kiss under the
rose instead OF the mistletoe. Noe

At Christmas be merry and thankful
withal
And feast thy poor neighbor, the

And know that chap may have riches
And still be n man!

And run II the focman said 'Boo!'

And still be a patriot. too.

Where the life-blood of dudes drenched

The swells who lie in their last slumber
Prove what we are worth.

They scoffed when we answered the

We might do at tennis or rowing.

Blood-stained by the dudes in the van,
And learn that chap may have riches

one after another, until at last, incapable
of longer resistance, the helpless being
succumbs to his frightful foe. Constipa-
ton is the beginning of many of the most
murderous maladies. the cloggcd system

Every traveller knows that continuous
lourncying on the railroad is very apt to
derauge the system in some way. In spite
of springs and soft seats there is n contin-
nous jar md vibration. which acts upon
the nervous system, and produces results
varying somewhat, according TO the
strength OF the traveller or his prcdisposi-
tion to some specific ailmcnt. The most
common consequence of continuous car
riding Is constipation. And this condition
Invariably produces headache, and tends
to bilionsness. J. ]. Converse, ST. Louis
Mo-, found a way to avoid the evil effects
of constipation, to which he was subject
when travelling. He carried with him
"the pill that will" cure constipation aud
all Its sequent sufferings. This is what
he says:

patton with me, but by using DIR. J. C..
Ayers Pills moderately, my bowels are
