A Smile.

Awhile ago
The drifted snow
Lay white on field and mountain;
The verdure slept,
While sunbeams crept
Along each frozen fountain.
Anon the spring,
Sweet following,
Respangled earth with flowers;
The winding sheet
OF snow and sleet
Dissolved in vernal showers.
Yet hoary spots,
Fair natures blots,
That little do become her,
In shaded glens
And black ravines
Lie late into the summer.
A time apart
My bleeding heart
Was crushed by weight of sorrow,
For her, the fair,
The angel rare,
Whom Heaven from me did borrow.
But time sped fast,
Spring came AT last
The joyless spring of anguish;
| cease to groan
And idly moan
My love for whom languish.
Yet when by night
l turn my sight
On memory's forms and faces,
Deep down find,
Mid chasms of mind,
That sorrows unsunned traces.
Twill never die
Till God on high
Has cured this living fever"
And we two roam
His heavenly home
Forever and forever.

out for "a better medicine than any thus far
known for certain complaints. He could
not imagine when or how he should find it;
perhaps (more likely indeed) he should
never find it at all. so he thought. But
the right idea came to him finally and the
result was the preparation called Calcura
Solvent. The name means a solvent, or
discover, of stone, or chalk deposits, in the
kidneys or bladder, a remedy for the cure
of gravel, and of diseases caused by various
toxic or poisonous substances or acids in the
blood or glands. Experiment showed that
Calcura Solvent would cure red on white
gravel without pain or danger to the patient,
and expel from the system the uric acid
which causes govt and rheumatism. If it

AFREAK OF THE LAW OF GRAVITY.
y paper by Major BurrOW, K. E., read
at the meeting of the Royal Astronomical
Society, discussed a curious fact ascer-
tanned by the application of scientific
methods of measurement to the survey
of India, namely, that the northerly de-
Election of the plumb line ascribed to its

southerly, while the nOrtherly detection
reasserts itself farther south, and is con-

The zone, so strangely exempted from
what has been supposed TO be a general
law, runs across central India from the
Delta of the Gauges to that of the Indus,
but well to the south of the great
Gangetic plain.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-The trial Of Roland

In the seven and a half days Of the pres
ent trial. since the fury was obtained,
thirty-six Witnesses have been called and
eross-examined and counsel have reached
an agseement as to expert testimony in

November 1899,
John r. Terrell. the Milwaukee hand
writing expert, was recalled and illustrated

collapse.
Mrs. Rogers denied absolutely that her
mother ever hired a letter box from Daniel
Callahan. who said last week that she did,
and declared tina she and her mother had
no secrets from each other. Mrs. Rogers
said she had u private letter box once un-
der an assumed name.
Alfred S. Osborn, another handwriting
expert. was the next witness.
He said the hand that addressed the
poison package and. the disputed letters also
wrote the letters Acknowledged to be by
Molineux. 4
He found instances in the disputed writ
ingsg which showed the writer had
patched" certain letters by going oveI
them with. his pen.
There was a rumor after the close Of
court that Mr.. Osborn will end his case to-
morrow.
