Half dead with cold went back to his
straw.
Under the ancient blue bedqult he crept,
His conscience was white and again he
slept.
But again a voice called. both loud and
clear:
"Ben Hazard. for Christ's sweet sake.
come here!"
Once more he stood at the open door,
And looked abroad. as he looked before
This time. full sure twas a voice he
heard
But all that he saw was a storm tossed
bird.
Come in. in the name of the Lord" he
said
Tenderly raising the dropping head,
And. tearing his tattered robe apart.
Laid the cold bird on his own warm
heart.
The sunrise flashed on the snowy thatch,
As an angel lifted the wooden latch.
Ben woke in a flood Of golden light.
And knew the voice that had called all
night.
Thrice happy is he that blessed the poor
The humblest creature that sought thy
door.
For Christs sweet sake thou hast COM
forted.'
Nay. twas not much.' Ben humblv said
With rueful shake of his old gray head.
who giveth all of his scanty store
In Christ's dear name. can do no more
Behold. tho Master who waiteth for three
Saith. Giving to them thou hast given
to Me-
Then with heavens light on his face
Amen,
! come in the name OF the Lord" said
Ben.
Frozen to death" the Waterman said,
When at last he found him In his bed
With a smile on his face so strange and
bright;
He wondered what old Ben saw that
night.

matters in his state which was startling
to the religious world. Whatever the
people of a community may believe in
regard to future punishment one of the
induces of their progress must be the way
in which they care for their cemeteries
whether public or private The writer
has noted the fine condition in which
the cemetery at East Shoreham is kept
and has been informed that the condition
of cemetery in the west part of the
town is equally good. On the road be-
tween the two centers in Cornwall is
cemetery in which some of the leading
citizens of the town own lots and where
they expect to be buried. There is a
fence around it but it is pretty nearly
devoid of paint and this fact in connec-
ton with some other things gives a fine
location a run down look" Whether
this state of affairs proceeds from mere
thoughtlessness or parsimony it ought
not to be- The words by their fruits
We shall know them will ever remain
true.

OUTDOlNG EXPECTATIONS.
Wonderful Success of milford X. Burt's
Half-Price Sale of DR.. Towards
Dyspepsia Specific.

Half-Price Sale of DIR. Towards
Dyspepsia Specific.
We are always glad to print in the
Middlebury Register story about re-
markable success achieved by advertis-
ing and especially so when the article
advertised is one of superior merit.
Not SO long ago Milford R. Burt one
of Middlebury's most enterprising drug
gists, succeeded in getting the DR..
Howard Co. to allow him to sell their
Specific for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia at half price, as an introduce
tory offer.
The results of this advertising have
been phenomenal, and there has been
hardly week without milford r. Burt
being obliged to order fresh supplies.
Such was his confidence in the remedy
that he personally guaranteed every
package of the specific that he has sold,
and agreed to refund the money if it did
not cure. His faith was well founded,
for out of the hundreds of packages he
has sold, only one has been returned.
Milford r. Burt in commenting upon
the great success that followed the
adoption of his suggestion, not only in
Middlebury but in other places, showed
Middlebury Register letter from d. F.
Davis, of Barre, one of the best known
druggists in Vermont. Mr.. Davis wrote:
1.-The success of Dr. Towards Specific
in our city is wonderful. ! received my
first consignment the last of July, and
since then have sold hundreds of pack
ages, and cannot get it fast enough to
keep my customers supplied. | have
not had single bottle returned, al
though | have guaranteed every one,
and have heard nothing but praise of
its merits. This is record unsurpassed
by any remedy that l have sold in the
twenty-five years have been in the
drug business"
milford R. Burt does not know how
much longer he will be able to continue
selling DIR. Towards Specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia al
half price, but will as long as his present
supply holds out. Some of his customer:
have said they pay dollar bottle
rather than be without it.
