Almost A Miracle.

One of the most startling changes ever
seen in any man, according to w. B. Hols-
claw Clarendon, Texas, was effected years
ago in his brother. " He had such dread
tul cough" he writes, ''that all our family
thought he was going into consumption,
but he began to use DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, and was completely cured by ten
bottles. Now he is sound and well and
weighs 2IS pounds. For many years our
family has used this wonderful remedy for
coughs and colds with excellent results. !"

in clearing away the mist and clouds,
which now befuddle the unfortunate,
unhappy, and unregenerate sons of
the desert: therefore, assemble ye, on
the date spoken by the prophet, and

SENATOR TAYLOR.
"a Chicagoan's poem on his famous
Niolin.)

"a Chicagoan's p1em on his famous
Niolin.)
Mid the silken perfumed elegance
Within a stately bouse,
I've heard its rich tones ringing
Through the wilderings of Strauss,
And I've heard the sigh of gentle ones
Who listened while it bore
To charmed hearts the sweetness
Of the touching Trovatore.
I've heard it in the evening,
Within a quiet home,
Sing "Swanee River" till the bees
Came humming round the comb;
Mid the phases of the wassal
And the joys of festa cheer
I've heard it change from grave to gay;
From lively to severe.
In tender tones of pleading,
In sighs of spent delight,
In greetings to the morning,
And in good-byes to the night;
In storms upon the ocean,
And in the songs of the birds,
I've heard its voice, like living thing,
In sweetest human Words
I've heard it give stenturian
Command in battles blare,
And heard it whisper soft and low,
Like angels in the air,
'Mong brawny men in mining camps,
I've seen it hush brawl,
Till clenched hands are open palms,
That in each other fall.
I've seen it gather little ones
About the players knee,
AS did the babes of olden time
Round Him of Galilee,
And to i: oft I've listened
Till all the world was kin,
While, lovingly, its master played
The governors violin.

"Come on, now, IL you're going to

played the opening chords.

organist. Just give me my pitch,
