Reefton, New Zealand, Nov. %, 1896
I am very pleased to state that
since I took the agency Of Chamber
lain's medicines the sale has been
very large, more especially OF the
Cough Remedy. In two years l
have sold more of this particular
remedy than of all other makes for
the previous five years. As to its
efficacy, I have been informed by
scores of persons of the good results
they have received from it, and know
it's value from the use of it in my
own household. 1t is so pleasant to
take that we have to place the bottle
beyond the reach of the children.

Cause Of the Trouble.
This is Why Ten Negroes Were
Killed in Wilmington.

Killed in Wilmington.
The following is the editorial in
The Daily Record, the negro paper,
which caused the outburst at VIII
minston, n. c:
I'VE suggest that the whites guard
their women mere closely, thus CIV
ing 10 opportunity for the human
fend, be be white or black. You
leave your goods out of doors, and
then complain because they are taken
away.
Poor white men are careless in
the matter Of protecting their women,
especially on farms; they are careless
Of their conduct toward them, and
our experience among the poor white
people in the country teaches us that
the women of that race are not any
more particular in the matter of
cladestine meetings with colored men
than are the white men with colored
women.
"lIeetings OF this kind go on for
sometime until the woman's infatua-
ton, or the mans boldness, brings
attention to them, and the man is
lyDcbed.
Every negro lynched is called
a big, burly black BRUTE when in
fact many of those who have thus
been dealt with had white men
for their fathers, and were not only
not black and 'burly'; but were suf-
ficiently attractive for white girls Of
culture and refinement to fall in love
with them, as is we'll known to ALL"

A Plea for the Birds.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
It is matter of encouragement
that one citizen has spoken out in
behalf of our prosecuted little friends,
the birds His voice should be heard
and his appeal should be needed in
time for improvement. When intel.
ligence is rife on such a multitude Of
subjects it is culpable and foolish for
people to remain blind to their own
interests-blind followers of blind
leaders, into the ditch together.
When God put man into dominion
over all lower orders Of creatures his
power was to be used wisely and
kindly, with not shade of cruelty
towards the smallest or weakest OF
his creatures. There can be no way
for a person to raise above the spirit
that animates him-and the cultiva
ton of the spirit Of kindness towards
helpless creatures is always ennob-
ling and confidence inspiring, and
vice versa. When to that truth is
added the fact that we all desire to
be happy, and beautiful living birds
contribute so largely to the fund of
human happiness that the world
would seem cbeerless without their
sweet chirp, song and twitter. What
human being is ever sunk so low, be-
come so hopeless and degraded that
| the liquid notes of bird floating
heavenward would not attract some
passing thought or memory that
speaks of a power divine. But f.
nancially speaking, the birds are the
best friends and allies of the farmer
and the gardener, and should always
have legal protection. 1t was once
said of a certain sporting king who
boasted of the great number of birds
he had killed, that every one of their
lives were worth more than his. No
doubt of it: for they were fulfilling
their mission, and he was not.
It is certain that God cares for the
birds, for Jesus observed them care
fully amid all bis efforts in behalf OF
suffering humanity, and noting the
small commercial value of a little
sparrow he said, zone of them shall
not fall on the ground without your
Father" and thus rendered them
object lessons to teach Gods over.
ruling care of all his creatures. 1t
is self evident that when God made
the birds and clothed them in beauty
and tuned their voices to happy song
he designed them a peaceful abode
among the children of men, and in
tended them to be useful allies; SC
to live and be happy is their God
given privilege. Those who allow

"a year passed, and, under a
change of physicians, Emma became
somewhat better but soon was as

case similar to hers which was cured

Emma had no faith in proprietary
medicines but tried the pills, and
after taking dozen doses, she began

middle of May, after taking about
eight boxes, she was entirely cured.

A moment face to face they stood,
While soul met soul in honest eyes
That trembling glowed through unshsl
tears,
Born Of O love that never dies.
They met to speak the saddest word
That e'er on human lips can dwell.
But, oh. the mockery to dream
That such as these could take farewell,
For as two roseate clouds unite
In wake Of the departed sun,
Their kindred essence pure and sweet,
These twain had softly merged in one.
They might be severed pole from pole,
Might live through all the years apart.
What mattered time and space to them
Whose home was In each others hearth
He craved a tress of that fine gold
Whose wavy wreaths her forehead graced.
Bending to grant the boon, he clasped
A zone OF pearl about her waist.
A moment more, and he was gone
From sight, naught else. High heart and
mind,
Stronghold Of tenderness and truth,
Defed the hour and staid behindl
The seasons rolled, and ne'er again
Thus face to face twas theirs to stand.
Yet heart to heart they walked the world
