Oh merciless surges that over me

How often they seem 10 overwhelm
my soul,
Till I sigh for that peace, perfect
peace, in that land
Where loved ones are gathering in
one happy band.
And I long to hear Jesus call from
afar,
To see heavens fold with its por-
tails ajar,
To walk with my Savior the ever
green shore,
Where suffering and anguish shall
come never more.
Companions are passing this frail
trembling bark,
Are Fastening homeward - there
free from the shark,
While 1 journey onward mid hope
and despair,
Still trusting in Jesus, his guidance
and care.
Oh! lone, weary pilgrim on life's

How fain would 1 anchor on that

Relieved, at last, in that endless
day
From sorrows, Affections, forever

OUE DRUGGIST TELLS Us.

We learn to-day that our local
druggists have made special
arrangements which carries with
it an agreement to keep in stock
constantly full line of special
prescriptions created at the Lab
Oratories of DR.. Shoop.
a novel, yet thoroughly practical
and wly-created article has Just
been issued from the laboratories
in question, called I.aN-ets and is
included as part nf the arrange
ment made to-day hy the druggist
in question. We rrIer TO n pIescrip.
tiOn put up in candy tablet ioim,
for the relief of constipation, sour
stomach, bad breath, sallow com.
pleXion, biliousness, headache,
etc, etc. The novelty of LaX-ets
arises from two or three sources.
1t has not even the suspicion, so
far as taste is concerned. that the
article Is q medicine. 1t is candy
in taste, and in appearance. Again,
LaX-ets are put up in beautifully
Autographed metal boxes, and re-
tail for the remarkably low price of
> cents per box.
On the box Is printed the ingredi-
ents, consisting of Cascara Sagrada,
Egyptian SIENNA, Solid Extract of
French Prunes, slippery Elm Bark,
and other highly meritorious in
gradients for the conditions men,
toned above.
a Candy Cold Cure put up in
the same style also sells at > cents
per box and is called DIR. Shoop's
Preventics.
Patrons, We believe, will be glad
to learn of the new arrangement,
and particularly of the new rem
edies, which certainly seem worthy
of trial purchase involving only
the cost of IA nickel.
