A Picture Of Death.

He who hath bent him Ger the dead
Ere the first day OF death is NED,
The first dark day of nOthingness.
The last of danger and distress,
Before Decays effacing fingers a.,
Have swept the lines where beauty I'm
gers).
And marked the mild, angelic air.
The rapture of reposes that's there,
The fixed yet tender traits that streak
The languor of the placid cheek,
And but for that sad shrouded eye,
That fires not. wins not, weeps not now
And but for that chill. changeless oroW'
Where cold Distinctions apathy
Appalls The gazing mourner heart,
As IL to him it would impart
The doom he breads. yet dWells upon
Yes but for these and these alone.
Some moments, ay, one teacherous hour,
He still might doubt the tyrants power
So fair 50 calm. so softly sealed,
The first last look by death revealed!
Such is the aspect Of this shore;
Ills Greece. but living Greece no more!
So coldly sweet so deadly falr,
We start for soul Is wanting there.
Hers is the loyeliness in death,
That parts not quite with parting breath;
Eut beauty with that fearful bloom,
That hue which haunts it to the tomb,
Expression's last recedng ray,
A gilded halo lowering round decay.
The farewell beam OF Feeling passed
Spark OF that FAM. psrchance of heav-
Which CLEANS. but warns no more its
cherished earth.

Mrs Dickerson Is 70 years of age,

How often do we hear women say: 1T
seems as though my back would break,
or Don't speak to me, am all out OF
sorts?" These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some uterine arrangement. Nature
requires assistance and at once, and
Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts it's curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments Of
women. 1t has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the ablest specialists agree
that it is the most universally success
full remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.
The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing.
Mrs J. g. Holmes, Of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
II have suffered everything with backache
and womb trouble-I let the trouble run on
until my system was in such a condition that
was unable to be about, and then 1t was
commenced to use Lydia f. Pinkhams Vege-
table Compound. II l had only known how
much suffering would have saved, should
have taken it months soener-for . few

COUNTERFEIT EASY TO SEE.
Reflection of Light Pointed It Out (.
Expert.

Expert.
1--WE have a man in this Office" re-
marked one of the officials OF the
treasury department the other day,
"who is without a peer anywhere in
the country when it comes to spotting
a counterfeit coin. His faculty for tell
ing the spurious product has been de-
veloped to a remarkable degree. He
gave an illustration of his skill the
other day. On that table in the cor
ner there were piled up couple hum
bred half-dollars. Apparently they
were all sound and genuine speci-
mems from the government mint. Our
expert walked into the room, and,
giving one glance at the pile of halves,
twenty-five feet distant, he quietly re-
marked:
There's a counterfeit in that
stack
"He then stepped up to the table
and pulled q coin from out OF the
middle of the pile. 1t was tested and
found to be spurious. asked the
man to tell how he discovered the
counterfeit.
"By the reflection of the light he
replied. The rays cast from that
coin were wholly different from those
sent out by the other pieces. That
coin stood out as distinctly from the
rest as blood-red poppy in a field
of white roses.-"Brooklyn Eagle.

az viii LII Up Mine Eyes"

I will lift up mine eyes.
The earth shall not enthran mel .
will go forth with God
Wherever He shall call me;
The muddy ways are low,
1 will attempt the mountains,
And drink the purer streams
OF the eternal fountains.
Care drags the spirit down.
But eyes by faith uplifted
Der stony ways can climb,
And see the hard rocks rifted.
The higher airs are pure,
The breeZes aid endeavor:
Give me the upward path
That ends in joys for ever.
Along the higher ways
Are treasures to inherit,
Great thoughts Of God and life,
The graces of the Spirit.
The peace Of those who trust,
Rest-places for the weary,
And comrades going home
With hearts and voices CHEEKY
Ny help comes from the hills.
The mills Of God above me-;
He dwells among the heavens.
And He will always love me
He bids my soul ascend.
His angels voices call me:
I will lift up my eyes,
THE earth shall not enthrall me.

when the residents who make the

The other day "Babes in Toyland'

putting down a quarter. demanded OF
the proprietor, typical New England

we got now are five-centers."
Pixley took cigar and twenty
