"Should chrisian love ever he stamped from the nations of the earth, the latest spark shall be found in the breast of a true woman." - Rev. W. It. McNeil, Fade, fade from my view all evil distortions That boar me away from the pure and the true. Fade, fade from my spirit, demoniac contortions. Be the love light of purity, kindled anew. True woman, what art thou, seraphic construc tion, Halm ofthe wounded heart, gentle and pure; Divine is thy mission, removing obstruction, Co-worker with Christ, on foundation secure. Love, Heaven's gem of highest conception, The heart of true womanhood, claims as its own. Friend ofthe helpless one. foe to deception; Pure is the seed thy hand has sown. Though weaker the vessel, a keener perception; A nobler, a purer, a grace more divine, Enobler of manhood, without an exception; Man's nature is base, till he kneels at thy shrine. Fight onward, brave woman, the crown is be fore thee; Fight onward, the end of the battle's not yet. The morals of nations, I hereby conjure thee. By the standard of woman, forever are set. Noblest and grandest, God's latest creation, The only addition He made to the plan, A magnet to guide us, angelic persuasion. Be thine, joy and peace, through this pilgrimage span. JAMES CASSELS.

The finder will 1 confer a favor by leaving it at Mr. Parsons' store. We hear a good deal about war now- j a-days, and as we look around us and | see the turmoil, commotion and unrest of all the nations of earth, we cannot | help thinking that this state of things j cannot last much longer; that Christ must come and put an end to all this j strife and blood shed, and establish his kingdom of peace.

An exchange very wisely says: The mother who drives her boy out of the house after supper, telling him to amuse himself until bed time, is likely to see him acquire evil habits and bring dis grace on his parents. And yet how many boys are seen on our streets at night who should be at home perusing some good book. Its no wonder, when one stops to think about it, that there are so many boys learning trades in the penitentiary who should have learned them out of it. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Tried and True. Thousands have tried Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for constipation, indiges tion and siek headache and have found it true to the claim made for it, viz: That it is the best remedy now before the good people for the relief of stomach troubles. Trial sizes 10c, large sizes 50c and §l, of L. Taggart. Apr The easiest way to burn stumps en tirely, says an exchange, is to bore a number of two-inch auger holes in them to the depth of a foot and fill them with kerosene every day for a week. Then the stump and roots can be demolished by a tire built on top. This is not only the safest and most thorough method, but it has the very desirable advantage of cheapness, and is just as good whether the stump be green or dry. Americans are the most inventive people on earth. To them have been issued 600,000 pateuts, or more than one-third of all the patents issued in in the world. No discovery of modern years has been of greater benefit to mankind than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, or has done more to relieve pain and suffer ing. J. W. Vaugta, of Oakton, Ky., says:"l have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedv in my family for several years, and find it to bo the best medicine I ever used for cramps in the stomach and bowels.
