With its POPPY fields of rest,
Where days storm bcwildcrcd Shallop
Drops its anchor in the west,
Where Il silent sea of saffron
Stretches inland toward the streams
That go glimmcring down the valleys
OF the purple port o dreams.
In the furof gloom behind it
Earth's dusky bound'ry lies.
And n step beyond it's outpost
The hills of heaven rise,
So near that in the glory
OF their mystic haze it seems
That their dear dead walk beside us
In the peaceful port o dreams.
Oh strange and wondrous country.
Hiding close the goals of life,
Who wins to thee brings courage
For the long. dull march's strife,
And the prisoner of living
Hopes freedom pledge rcdcems
In thy endless, houndicsS radiance,
o blissful port o dreams
We have called thee Hearts Desire,
Or the Islands of the Blest.
And the Land of Finished st orics,
o drcamland in the west.
Yet every hearts the bound'ry
Of thy soul rcposing beams.
Art thou hope or love or heaven,
o happy port o dreams?
Sail away, o weary hearted,
To the bayous of release;
Leave the drums of life behind you
At the harbor bar of peace.
Come to anchor off the hcadlands
Where the light of heaven CLEANS
In the haven where We would be
Past the purple port O. dreams.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT r1EDICINE.
THE GREAT r1EDIcINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Appointment and Popular Citizen, Says:
@After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now Ia the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward f. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, OF
O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Brown S
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
"I acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. 1 had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
81 was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. l was indeed in critical condi-
ton. could not go from the house alone,
as l was liable to sudden collapse. l tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. l could not sleep; anything that
ate increased my agonies; 1 was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats
quick breathing, and would be racked witt
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God l am my old self

 It is strange that there should be so much misapprehension on this point, when there was nothing in the opinion deliv- cred to the Federal Grand Jury which supports such an idea.
 What the court said was this: "If a defendant convicted of misdemeanor signs In open court written contract. approved in writing by the judge, in con- sideration of another becoming his sure ty on confession of judgment for the fine and costs and is thereupon released. the law treats him as s. convict who has resigned himself to the custody of his surety to escape that of the State. and the surety may restrain him of his nb- erty and invoke the aid of the State to compel the service.'

A Sobriety Society.

New Orleans Picayune.
 There is in operation in this city a unique and nose interesting institution for the promotion of temperance, and so- briety. It originated here in 1869, and has not only fourished, but has put forth it's branches in many other localities. It is the Order of the Knights of Temperance. Its principles. which are in many respects entirely different from those of any other temperance order. are as follows:
 It does not pledge it's members to ab- stain from intoxicating liquors for life nor for any fixed period of time. It pro- hibits the use, by It's members. of intoX- icating liquors as a beverage only so long as they remain connected with the order. It leaves the consideration of the right to manufacture, purchase or sell intoXi- eating liquors with the conscience of the practices temperance, it does not attempt by moral suasion only. It assists it's care of its sick. and buries it's dead One of it's advantages is that 1t neeps no op- pressiNc obligation hanging over the head of an individual He is not bound for any specified time; he can quit whenever he may choose. It is wonderful what effect this complete liberty has on men. Many a time members have said: "I will resign next week." but when the time comes he postpones for another week, and so they go on for years, knowing they can quit at any time. It has made an excellent record in this city, and is heartily com mended to all who want to stop the drink habit and still possess some will and conscience.

 Many papers of Alabama contended at first that all of the indictments for pe- onage would amount to nothing; that there was no such thing practiced in Ala bama, yet several of these who were in dicted by the United States grand jury have pleaded guilty to the charge and been sentenced. Some people who have elastic consciences will say that the peo- pie held in peonage were only negroes for this offense. but the matter should not be viewed in any such light for a man who will imprison and hold one in captivity. unlawfully. will do the same so without fear of punishment. The bar ter and sale of human beings in this country to he held in enforced captivity is unlawful, and the law should be en- forced. it matters not what class or color 1t affects.

bered that the two men now lying in jail under the awful charge of murder, are innocent of crime. They, too, are dear to their loved ones, and are endur- ing agonies. No man in the world, in his senses, would kill a helpless child. The thought is revolting. Had the child heard he would have had ample time to get out of the way. The employees on the cars are polite and attentive and kind, especially to children.
 These poor fellows have already suf- fered intensely, it shows in their faces. To mental suffering is added the morti- fication and Imprisonment.
 The community has been shocked and every one sympathizes with the stricken family, yet there is a great wave of pity in behalf of the two who so deeply de- plore the tragic occurrence. As one of them expresses 1t, they would not have done such a deed for anything on earth.' May they speedily be released.
