She then went on writ ing and he went up stairs and got his gun which he laid on the table, with the muzzle toward himself and the butt toward her and asked her to pull the trigger. She thought him joking, and besides thought that the gun was unloaded, as he had told her he had taken out the cartridges the night they were charvaried. She picked up the gun and put it in her lap and told him to behave, not eo be foolish, and went to the kitchen county boys to secure positions in and brought a bottle of wine and told him to take some as it was bet ter than the gun for him. He reached over and got the gun again, asking her to pull the trigger. Again she told him not to be foolish and again she took the gun, telling him she was afraid he would hurt himself.

Dr. Futile stat ed that the wound in the chest was about an inch in diameter, the charge entering the body at the junction of the fourth and fifth ribs and pene- trating through the heart.

troubled with displacements, inflam-

Irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, flatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you

RESIGNATION.

There is no flock, however watched
and tended,
But one dead lamb Is there!
There is no Preside, howso'er de-
Tended,
But has one vacant chair.
The air is full of farewells to the
dying
And MORNINGS for the dead;
The heart of Rachel for her children
crying,
Will not be comforted.
There is no Death. What seems so is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
is but a suburb Of the life Elysian
Whose portal we call Death.
She is not dead-the child of our af-
lection
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor
protection
And Christ Himself doth rule.
in that great clofster's stiffness and
seclusion
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sins
pollution,
She lives, whom we call dead.
Day after day we think what she is
doing
In those bright realms OF air;
Year after year her tender steps pur-
suing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep
unbroken
The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance, tho
unspoken
May reach her where she lives.
Not as child shall we again behold
her;
For when with rapture wild
In our embraces we again enfold her
She will not be child.
But fair maiden, in her Fathers
mansion
Clothed with celestial grace;
= And beautiful with all the souls ex.
pansion
\ Shall we behold her face.
And tho at times impetuous with emo
ton
AnQ anguish long suppressed,
The swelling heart heaves, mourning
like the ocean,,
That can not be at rest
We will be patient, and assuage the
feeling
We may not wholly stay:
BY silence sanctifying, not conceal
ing,
The grief that must have way.
