It is easy to sit in tne sunshine And talk to the man in the shade; It is easy to float in a well-trimmed ' boat. * And point out the places to wade, But once we pass into the shadows, CWe murmur and fret and frown, And our length from the bank, we shout for a pank, Or throw up our hands and go down. It is easy to sit our carriage And counsel the man on foot; But get down* and walk, and you'll change; your talk, As you feel the peg in your boot.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroy ing the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faitli in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that this nerve controls will also surely fail. It may be a stomach nerve, or it may have given strength and support to the heart or kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to this vital truth. Dr. Shoop's Restorative was not made to dose the stomach nor to temporarily stimulate the heart or kidneys. That old-fashioned method is all wrong. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to these failing inside nerves. The remarkable success of this prescription demonstrates the wisdom of treating the actual cause of these failing organs. And it is indeed easy to prove. A simple five or ten days te9t will surely tell. Try it once, and see! Sold by Kaufmann Drug Co. Peoples Herndon, a young white man, was 9hot and killed by H. Q.

Failure is due not so moch to missing opportunities as to failure to make them. Your message will go just as deep into the hearts of men a9 it has roots in your own. We are all apt to substitute candor with the faults of others for honesty with our own. The road through a difficulty may be rougher, but it is always safer than the road around it. If you will walk in the fields of sin you will find a, long task before you picking off the burs and cockles. Envy is the tribute that sloth pays to industry. No man ever served life who was afraid to die. Love always wins, because it is not afraid to lose. All gain and no pain would make life a sad affair. The best prayers are the ones that take longest to learn. You can never fighta man's foes Unless von nre his friend. "? ; ? ? Only the large hearted are fit to work with the little ones. The door of truth cannot be opened with the key of prejudice. Too many find their consciences in the conventions of ethers. If you would shine as the stars begin with a little sunshine now. It's no use denying sin's service when you're enjoying its salary. Keeping faith with folks is a good way of cultivating faith in them. Sin has no power over the life when it has no partners in the heart, Humility is a great castle of defense. "A man is onlvhalf a man until af- ! ter he gets marridd," says a woman writer. Yes, and after that he may be nobody at all. If you would continue to believe in the honest}' and integrity of all your friends, don't indorse their notes. Trespass Notice.
