In Memory of DR.. II. H. BarnacastIe.

1t has so pleased the wise Almighty to take from
our homes the beloved friend, husband, father and
brothe, DR.. H. H. Barnacaste. AS all he had a
mission this earth to fill. He has filled his and
gone to the place where only the true and the
righteous go.
"Let us not weep" but ever keep fresh in men,
DRY the character Of the true man that he was.
"To know him was to love him. "He was true
brother to all mankind" "Every one was his
neighbor.''
Many have received acts Of kindness from his
noble character. He was ever at his post of duty
administering with gentle hand to the wants OF
suffering humanity.
The community in which he lived will sadly miss
his beloved presence, and extend to his bereayed
family their heartfelt sympathy. So let us ever
keep in memory his true character an example
to all mankind.
But as it is allotted to every man that he should
not retain his earthly body, but according to his
good works, accept of the celestial, we can smile
through our tears when we think of the happy
meeting beyond the grave. THE BAND BOYS

JOHN HOWARD PAYNE.
By WILL H. CARLETON.

He wandered DER the dreary earth
Forgotten and alone;
He who could teach homes matchless worth
Meier had one of his own.
Meath winters cloud and summers sun,
Along the hilly road,
He bore his great heart, and had none
To help him. with the load;
And wheresoever III his round
He went with weary tread
His sweet pathetic song he found
Had floated on ahead!
He heard the melodies it made
Come pealing DER and DER
From royal music bands that played
Before the palace door;
He heard its gentle tones of love
From many cottage creep,
When tender grooming mothers strove
To sing their babes to sleep;
And wheresoe'er true love had birth
This thrilling song had flown,
But he who taught homes matchless worth
Had no home Of his own.
The Punishment was overlong,
But it will soon be past;
The man who wrote homes sweetest song
Shall have home at last!
And he shall rest where laurels wave
And fragrant grasses twine;
His sweetly kept and honored grave
Shall be sacred shrine,
And pilgrims with glad eyes grown dim
Will fondly bend above
The man who sang the triumph hymn
Of earth's divinest love.

Advertising Of the right sort persuades
people to buy. It's more nearly akin to

brings an immediate harvest, it at the
same time leaves the field in better con-

More, it reaches out and brings in new
