ITO Know All Is to Forgive All"

If 1 knew you and you knew me
Ii both of us could clearly see.
And with an inner sight divine
The meaning of your heart and mine,
I'm sure that We would differ less
And clasp our hands in friendliness;
our thoughts would pleasantly agree
Ii | knew you and YOU knew me.
If | knew You and you knew me,
AS each one knows his own self we
Could look each other in the face
And see therein a truer grace.
Life has so many hidden woes.
So many thorns for every rose;
The why of things our hearts woul'
see
If ] knew You and you knew me-

The Kidneys and the Skin.

In the spring the kidneys have much
to do. If they are weak or torpid, they
will not do it well, and the skin will be
pimply or blotchy. That is telling the
story in a few words.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens and
stimulates the kidneys, cures and pre-
vents pimples, blotches and all cutane-
Gus eruptions.

1t is understood that the proprietors
of the old baseball grounds on Forest
avenue, Portland. are considering the
advisability of fitting up and fencing
them to the end of restoring them to
their former uses for the holding of
ball games and other athletic sports.
The fence was removed years ago, with
Il view of cutting up the land into
house-lots and putting it into the
market, but as the time for that does
not seem quite ripe yet, there is some
idea of erecting Il new fence, building
grand stand and fixing up the
grounds in such shape that they will
compare favorably with similar fields in
Boston and other large cities.
