 A POETS REWARD. A bard whose earthly race was run stood at the golden gate And sorely did he tremble while St. Peter made him wait.

TWO BLIND MEN.


 You think you have trouble, remarked the Sermonizer, yet you can look about you at the bright sun, at the mountains turning red and gold and mark the smile that lights the face of friend. I saw two blind men just now and their help lessness was more distressing than any affliction of the kind I have ever wit messed. Both were young men-more' the pity-neaty dressed and intelligent Arm and arm, they stumbled along the street, with groping canes, endeavorlng to give each other assistance. They wandered frequently from the pavement, hestated painfully at curbs, crossings and corners, like men who had not long been cut off from the light of day, and in every way appeared so much In need of a helping hand that the heart of the spectator was moved to profoundest pity. After such a lesson as that. how can a man who is healthy, in the possession of all his facul- ties and moderately blessed with this worlds goods. greet the morning with a sour face? My friend, in discontent you waste your tine.''

Valuable Information.

SOMETHING EVERY PERSON IN SOUTH
PARIS SHOULD KNOW.
Nearly three hundred years have
passed since the medicinal, curative ele.
ments known to exist in the Gods liver
were first discovered and recognized by
physicians as specific in the treatment
Of pulmonary and wasting diseases, and
as body builder and strength creator;
but how to extract those medicinal ele-
ments from the oil in which they were
enveloped, has been the study of some
of the most expert chemists in the world.
Now, the process discovered by two
eminent French chemists, Morgues and
Gautier, should interest every person in
South Paris. By an extractive concen.
trating process they discovered way to
separate the tonic, body building and
curative elements contained in fresh
Gods livers from their useless oil. BY
this process Vinol is made.
Because Vinol contains no oil, but
embodies all the medicinal value OF cod
liver oil, with tonic iron added, it is fast
superssding old fashioned cod liver oil
and emulsions. As a body builder and
strength creator for old people, weak
women, delicate children, after sickness,
and for all pulmonary troubles, nothing
has ever been known to excel Vinol. We
ask South Paris people to try Vinol on
our offer to return their money II it does
not give satisfaction. +. A. Shurtleff d
Co., Druggists, South Paris, Me.

That was good and truthful obituary
of Herbert C. Bacon, but the writer
omitted few points which might be
supplied as sort of appendix in brief
even now. In the first place it is doubt
full that as penman Mr.. Bacon had 4

men who do a large amount of writing

making simply a crooked mark for some
of the words, his writing was always
nearly as plain as printed script, as any
of his composition will show.
In the next place Mr.. Bacon was a
good singer and musician, was at the
head of Bacou's Orchestra, so called
which was well known far beyond the
limits of the town.
Last, but not least to be mentioned
here, he was a verse writer of consider.
able alb lily, as is well known to reader;
of poetry. Not long ago the writer men
toned the idea of getting up little
book to be called Poets of Oxford Coun

the idea and said there was ample ma

it ought to be compiled; but who viii
