SONG OF A BIRD IN A WINTER
STORM.
Though the rain may fall and the wind
be blowing,
And cold and chill IS the wintry blast:
Though the cloudy sky is still cloudier
growing.
And the dead leaves tell that summer is
past;
Ny face I hold 10 the stormy heaven,
My heart is as calm as the summer sea,
Glad TO receive what my God has given,
What-e'er it be.
when I feel the cold I can say He sends
And His wird blows blessing. I surely
know,
For have never a want but that He
attends It,.
And nv heart beats warm though the
winds may blow.
The soft, sweet summer was warm and
glowing,
Bright were the blossoms on every
Dough.
I trusted Him when the roses were blow
] trust Him now.
Small were my faith should 1t weakly
falter.
Now that the roses have ceased to
blow:
Frall were the trust that now should
alter.
Doubling His love when the storm
clouds grow
II trust Him once / must trust Him
ever,
And His way is best. though stand or
fall:
Through wind and storm He will leave me
never,
He sends II all.
Why should my heart be faint and fear
ing?
Mighty He rules above the storm.
Even the wintry blast Is cheering.
Showing his power TO keep me warm.
Never a care on my heart is pressing.
Never a fear can disturb my breast;
Everything that He sends is blessing.
For He knows best.

A Rational Remedy for a National
TrnuhIo

To say that hemorrhoids. or the disease
commonly known as piles is a national
disease may be slightly overdrawn. but il
is quite certain that at least one in every
four persons is so afflicted
Because it is common and not lmme-
diately fatal. many suffer for years with
out giving the trouble any medical atten-
ton.
Moreover, the rather general impression
that a surgical operation is the only cure
has much 10 do with delaying attention
until the disease becomes deep seated and
chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know that
the Pyramid Pile Cure is better than n
surgical operation, it cures without pain
II causes no detention from business and
the cost is triting, all druggists selling il
al % cents per package.
The astringent effects OF the acids in
the Pyramid Pile Cure speedily contracts
and restore TO their natural condition the
blood vessels OF the affected parts. and
as It quickly dissolves in the rectum. the
remedy soothes and heals the irrita,ed
surfaces, and these two things are the
only necessary requirements for cure.
The principal danger from piles is the
liabilities to chronic liberation of the
rectal tissue. and nervous exhaustion from
loss Of sleep and attendant pain and irri-
tation. All these symptoms the Pyramid

the most popular and widely SOLD of any

by insolently calling his Honor an April
fool. Sergeant Thomas, the treasurer, all
the morning was reaching for imaginary
quarters that he had left on his desk.
Clerk Edgar White also came in for his
share.
The first violator to appear before his
Honor was William Lightfoot (colored),
charged with stealing a certain lot OF
coal, the property Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company. He was given
thirty days.
Kate Lomax and Leila Carter, both coll

and Justice John fined them $50 apiece.

The Human Machine.

| observations of a Philosophical Friend.)
I'm form and feature, how express, row
admirablew Hamlet.
The browning work of creation was the
| body of man. The power that was to be
its life and motion was the spirit of the
living God. Therefore, its excellence was
! adapted to its divine purpose.
Mans sins against his physical nature
are as many and various as those that he
commits against his own soul and his
obligations to the Father of light ard life.
In fact, the identity OF body and soul is
a great mystery. The infant seems to be
only animated flesh. And a high and
honorable Old age seems 10 show, as
matured soul, ready TO lay aside it's NOR
tai coil and pass into a higher condition.
and put on Immortality, having outgrown
its earthly habiliments.
SO it is that sins against the body are
sins against the soul. The flesh wars
against the spirit; and the inordinate
qualification Of the appetites and lusts OF
the flesh makes against the graces Of the
spirit. AS ii is said, he that sows TO the
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption.
On the other hand, he that "sows to the
spirit" uses the earthly house Of this
tabernacle as a robing-room for that eter-
nal in the heavens. He merely sheds, in
death. the temporal and temporary cloth
ing of the soul. The innocence, sim
plicity, and beauty of childhood are Ma
lures blossoms. plainly promising the
fruits OF mature graces and virtues. But
the buds and cravings and aspirations OF
childhood, the springs of lie. are easily
poisoned and embttered and darkened.
and what was meant for good may be all
cherished, fed, and inspired by the pas
turage and spirit Of the devil for his SER
vice. And in such service the abuse and
destruction of the powers of the body are
continual.
All vices make constant war against
strength, brightness, vigor. health, plea
santness, and peace; against good health
and soundness. And these physical con-
ditions are largely identified with virtues
and graces OF the soul. The Son OF 81
rach says that wisdom will not abide In
a besotted body; the mortal body presses
down the mind that muses. ON many
things. All this is familiar knowledge.
Drunkenness besots the heart and head
and destroys the healthy working of each.
II substitutes the spirit OF the devil. for
our natural Judgment and feeling Ii
makes, a man brute. Gluttony benumSs
