WE greatly regret our shabby appearapc,
this week. We have been maxine some
improvements in our press room (of which
We may speak more fully hereafter) and the
late hour at which the change was eonsum-
mated rendered it exceedingly doubtful
whether we could appear at all, but, by dint
OF faithful, laborious exertion on the part
OF those engaged in the work, we are eua-
oIed to put in appearance of some sort
And though shabby, it's better than no
appearance whatever. 1t is some sat;sf,c-
ton to US to reflect that we have never boan
compelled to miss an issue in the nine wears
OF our publishing.


"A little more time and experience will en-
aoie us to "get the hang of things" and
lhen we can appear decently and in order
Other improvements, to be made after our
removal to our new Office, adds still further
to our hope for comeliness.

appetite, nausea, feverish skin, to take without
delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no

summer months should take three or four boxes Of
these pills with them. They have an almost in

During the pioneer days Of 1onia,
Mich, the town had an editor who
was long-suffering. Some Of the
members of the church got him
to give $40 toward securing a
minister; then they wanted their
religious notices insertedfree; then
he was asked for SIS toward help
ing to build parsonage, and he
finally found he was giving the
church more than his family. He
nevertheless hung on for a time
longer, until one evening he went
to prayer meeting and was asked
to leave his office for a week to go
and help clear the grounds for a
camp-meeting. That was the last
straw, and he stood up and said;


Gentlemen I'd like to go to
heaven with you. You are kind
and tender, and it would be nice
for us all as a congregation to go
in together, but I've concluded to
leave you and dodge in from De-

Who always are repinlng,
Who never, never yet could see


The storm-cloud's silver lining.
There always something is amiss,
From sunrise to its setting:
That Gods made their map OF life,
They seem the while forgetting.
And have seen a blessed sight


To sin-beclouded vision,
Some people, who where'er they be
Make earth seem an Elysian.
They always see the brightest side,
The direful shadows never,
Aud keep the flower of hope in bloom
Within their hearts forever.
The one can make the sunniest day
Seem wondrous sad and dreary;
The other smiles the clouds away,
And makes a dark day CHEEKY.

About as we shall make it,
If we can banish grief and care,

which it was lying being one of the
