n lEI0RY OF HARRY HARVEY VAN
MATRE.

There is new made gave in the
cemetery,
Where he has been laid away
Te.sleep I'll God shall call him,
From slumber. at dawn of day.
But beyond Deaths dark shadow,
Where his touch is not permitted
to come,
He has awakened, never to suffer
pain again,
In His father's house at home.
20 # Adam had resisted temptation,
What a happy life we would have
We would shed no tears, and know
no sorrow;
And never weep over the graves of
our dead.
But it is our God who takes them,
And it must be all for the best;
For it is in love He calls them
To enter into His rest.
For Jesus died to redeem US
And make US fit for heaven;
And if we trust in Him
Our sins will be forgiven.
And Harry said he was prepared to
And was not afraid to die,
And Jesus, in whom he trusted,
Took him to His home beyond the
sky.
A few years ago, at a revival,
He realized that his sins were for
given;
That God had pardOned them, for
Jesus sake,
And he was one of the heirs of
heaven.
And on his face was a bright, happy
smile
When his friends came to congrat-
ulate him, then,
But he will smile in fadeless beauty
When they shall greet him again.
And his mother, wife and friends
know
That there is happy time coming
When deaths severed hearts will re-
Never to part again, fordeath can
not enter
Those mansions in the city of light.
And his hands that grew cold and
lifeless
Will clasp theirs once more;
And his Good-by mamma will be
exchanged for welcome home
When they meet on the other
shore.

A DAUGHTERS PART AT HOME.
One of the sweetest things a girl
can do is to receive friends graciously,
particularly at home In ones own
house a cordial manner is peculiarly
fitting. DO not stand OF. in the mid
die of the room and bow coldly and
formally to the friend who has called.
Walk over to meet her, give her your
hand. and say pleasantly that YOU are
very glad to see her again, Stiff,
cold, and formal ways of greeting
acquaintances are not proper in a,
sirl welcoming guests TO ner fathers
house. A daughters part is to assist
her mother on every social occasion.
The girl pours the tea in her moth

MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount OF
air. The result is shortness Of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.
