Beyond These Chilling Winda.
lo Beyocd these chilling winds and gloomy
skies,
Beyond death's solemn portal,
There ts a Jaad wn^re beauty never dies
And love becomes immortal :
A land whose light is never dimmed by shade,
Whose fields are ever vernal,
Where nothing beaut if u1 "an ever fade,
But blooms for aye, eu-,. al.
We may not know how sweet the balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers ;
We may not hear the songs that echo there.
Through those ejcbaoted bowers.
That city*? shining towers we may not see
Whs oor dim earthly vision,
For death, the silent warden, keeps the key
That opes those gates elysian.
Bat sometimes when ado wn the western sky
Tho fiery sunset lingers,
. 5ta golden gates swing inward noiselessly,
Unlocked by silent fingers.
And while they stand a moment half ajar.
Gleams from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar
And half reveal the story.
O land unknown ! O land of love divine 1
Father all wise, eternal,
Guide, guide these wandering feet of mine
lott* those pastures vernal !

The Better Choice.
i It is said that a Qaakcr residing at
Paris was waited .on by fonr of his
workmen in order to make their com?
pliments and receive their usual New
lear's gifts.
.Well, my friends/ said the Qua
ll ker, *here are your gifts ; choose fif?
teen francs or the Bible,'
p 'I don't know how to read/ said the
first; 'so I take the fifteen francs.'
'1 caa read/ said the second, 'but I
. bare pressing wants/
He took the fifteen francs ; the third
also made the same choice.
The Quaker now came to the fourth,
a young lad of about thirteen or four?
teen. He looked at him with an air of
goodness and said :
.Will yon take these three piece
as a g&t, and which y -a may obtain
^--iTiSy time hy your labor and indus?
try r
*As you say the book is good, I
V wiB take it and read from it to my
mother/ replied the boy.
He took the Bible and opened it to
look at it, when he found between
the leaves a gold piece of forty francs.
The others hong down their heads, and
the Quaker told them he was sor
2they had not made a better
?oe.
The young lad had indeed not only
made a 'better choice1 in . securing
the precious Bible as a lamp to hts
feet and a guide to holiness, but also
proved that those who are eager for
tho things of this world-grasping for
money-may lose far greater good
Arno they imagine ; for our Heavenly
Fatber? as that good Quaker, oftcn
' times adds innumerable blessings to
godliness, or makes" one rich with a
contented spirit here, and a glorious
hope of ao eternal life hereafter
while those who alone seek for riches
-the bread that perishes-may lose all
here and hereafter. To make a wise
yoe mest look ahead.
The Sarcastic Young Woman.
Insufferable though the giggling,
gushing girl may be, she ts angelic
wheo compared with her sarcastic sis?
ter? The sarcastic girl is, in some in
?faims? the product of hasty or ill-ad?
vised compliment paid her by some
thoughtless admirer on her making
-some spiteful criticism or some rude re?
mark concerning an acquaintance or
cam pan ion.
She has not the ability to distinguish
between impudence and satire, and it is
aa easy task to convince ber that ill
bred rudeness of speech is the perfec?
tion of irony, and that to say spiteful
ead unpleasant things to everybody
she meets is sure to win her thc repara?
tion of being sarcastic. She eagerly j
cultivates her fancied talent, not al?
lowing an opportunity to exercise it to
pass unimproved, and she generally j
succeeds in make herself heartily dis
liked by those who are unfortunate t
enough to be numbered among her ac?
quaintances.
Yoong men, who arc generally sen?
sitive to ridicule avoid, her systemati?
cally. She attributes this to the whole?
some lear in which she is held.
The family think her brilliant when j
every one else pronounces her insult?
ing. Her sarcasm generally deg ene-1
rates into insolence, and she is regard- j
ed ts a pest. Without friends, she be- j
comes lonely and dissati>fied, but is j
still far from guessing the true reason ;
cf her forlorn state, for she cannot esti?
mate its disagreeable effect upon others.

Itt a letter respecting his golden,
wedding, which was celebrated at the
home of bis son, Feb. 4, 1881, Bishop
Fierce makes the following reference to
his religious experience : *I wa. -in?
verted in my sixteenth year. Well
nigh coincident with it was my call to
preach. The settlement of this ques?
tion I held in abeyance tili I had gone
through college, secretly hoping that
the conviction of duty would wear out
and pass sway. When the time for
decision came. I was reluctant, nay re?
bellious. Verily, I had a fearful strug?
gle. But I surrendered, absolutely,
unreservedly. If ever man had a vic?
tory over self, nature, ambition, the
world, I had. The battle has never
been renewed. The enemy was slain.
There bas been no looking back, no re?
grets, no pining cf spirit. I aro con
teat and have been all along through a j
ministry of fifty-four years. Now, if j
I could repeat my life, I would renew '
my consecration, f left all to follow
Christ, and I wish gratefully to record
that he redeemed every word of prom?
ise to me. My life has beeo one of self
denial and close economy, but have
never suffered. Accepting Christ's teach- J
ing, I have lived like the lilies and thc !
birds, by the providence of my Heav- j
?sly Father/

AM to the temperance people, the j
dtftttttta (Ga.) Constitution (Dem.) says ;
it looks as if they would rapidly occupy
tie estire State of Georgia, outside of
Asee counties, that hold the eight
largest cities. In the past two years
they have made an aggressive cam
nctgn, and have whipped eight ont of ten
of the fights they have made. In most
eases the majority against whisky has
heesje overwhelming as to fix the mat?
ter definitely and permanently. It may
1? understood that so far as Georgia is
the country grocery most
In fact, it has alr eady gone out of
and smaller towns.
A Brave Girl Rewarded.
The Iowa Legislature last Wednes?
day presented its first medal and parse.
The recipteut was Miss Kate Shelley,
the sixteen-year-old girl, who, two and
a half years ago, saved a passenger
train from destruction. The medal is
of gold, appropriately inscribed, and
the purse contains ?200 in gold. On
the night of July 6, 1881, Central
Iowa was swept by a furious storm of
rain and wind. The tributary streams
of the fcDes Moines River were
greatly swollen, and a freight train on
the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
plunged through the Iloney Creek
Bridge, uear little Miss Shelly's home.
She was alone, but, witnessing the ac*
cident, set out through the storm to
Moingona, the nearest station, a mile
away to report the accident.
To reach the station, it was necessa?
ry for Miss Shelly to cross the high
trestle bridge over the Des Moines
Uiver, which was exposed to the full
force of the storm, and about 500 feet
in length. She crept upon the struc?
ture; the wind, the rain, the thunder
and lightning were appaling She
nearly lost her balance, and just es?
caped falling into the swollen stream.
She could not see a foot ahead of her.
The darkness was intense, except when
the dazzling lightniug revealed the
timbers and the surging and seething
waters below. Knowing that not a
moment must be lost, she crept from
tie to tie, across the high trestle. Hav?
ing gained the ground on the further
side she ran to the station and told her
storv in breathless haste, and fell un
mp T
conscious at the feet of the station keep?
er. Telegrams were sent flying up and
down the line notifying all of the loes
of Honey Creek bridge. The express
came thundering along with many pas?
sengers on board, and was stopped in
time to avert what would have certainly
been a terrible disaster. The railroad
company made the girl a handsome
present, named a station Shelly in her
honor and sen t her a life-time pass good
on all railways.
The True Pulpit Spirit.
When yon see a roan enter the pul?
pit and present himself with an air of
self assurance, as much as to say, *I
am here, know what I am about, and
feel sure I can teach you,' and then
proceed in a dictatorial tone and man?
ner, you may set it down that man has
either mistaken his calling or has not
learned how its functions should be
performed. Modesty, with a reverent
and solemn air, becomes bim who
would bear a message from God to
men. Let the love for siuners, as re?
deemed by the blood of Christ, and
having the offer of life and salvation,
be in the heart, and it will show itself
in the tones of voice, in the words used,
and in all thc outer acts and demean?
or of the man. All with him will in?
dicate sympathy and tendernos.
Taking up one's cross means simply,
writes Mr. Ruskin, that you are to go
to the road which you see to be the
straight one carrying whatever yon
find is given you to carry as well and
stoutly as you can, without making
faces or calling people to come and look
you. Above ali, you are neither to
load or unload yourself, nor cut your
cross to your own liking. Some people
think it would be better for them to
have it large, and many that they would
carry it much faster if it were small ;
and even those who like it largest are
particular about its being ornamental
and made of thc best ebony. Bot all
that yon have really to do is to keep
your back as straight as you can, and
not think about what is upon it-above
all, uot boast what is upon it. Thc
real and essential meaning of 'virtue'
is in that straightness of back.
When it is said of a youth that
'Ile drinks.' and it can bc proven, I
what store wanfs him for a clerk?;
What church wants him for a mein- !
ber? Who will trust him ? What dyino; j
man will appoint him as his executor ? j
Letters of recomendation, the backing i
of business firms, a brilliant ancestry!
cannot save him. The world shies him :
off. Why ? It is whispered all through j
tho community, 'Ile drinks I he drinks I' j
That blasts hirn. When a young man
loses his reputation for sobriety, he
might as well bc at thc bottom of the !
sea

Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin
is within : its manifestations without. Hence,
to cure the the disease the cause must be re?
moved, and in no other way can a cure ever
be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY
AND LIVER CURE is established on just
this principle. It realizes that
95 Per Cent.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys
and liver, and it strikes at once at the root of
the difficulty. The elements of which it is
composed act directly upon these great organs,
both as a food and restorer, aud. by placing
them in a healthy condition, drive disease
and pain from the system.
Fer the innumerable troubles caused by un?
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs;
for the dist lessing Disorders of Women: for
Malaria, and for physical derangements gen?
erally, this great remedy has no equal. . He
ware of imposters, imitations and concoctions
said to be just as good.

SWEPT INTO THE STREAM.
One Thonsand Acres of Land and
"Bight Smart of Bears."
On the deck of a big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter, ind
by a sweep of his arm the waters the boat was
passing over, he said to a passenger from thc
North : 'When I was twelve years old I kill?
ed my first bear on a new plantation my fath
er was then cutting out of a forest that grew
directly over ?he waters of this bend. That
was a mighty gond plantation, and there was
right smart of bears there, too. Rut that one
thousand acres of land went into the Missis?
sippi years njro.'
lt is putting, no strain upon the figure to
say that great forests of youthful hope, wo?
manly beauty and manly strength are swept
in thesame way every year into the great,,
turbid torrent of disease and deni h. Yet it
should not be so. That it is so is a disgrace
as well as a loss. People are largely loo care?
less or too stupid to defend their own in?
terests-the mos: precious of which is health.
That gone, all is gone. Disease is simple, but
to recklessness or ignorance the simplest things
might as well be complex as a proposition in
Conic Sections. As the huge Western rivers,
which, so often flood the cities along their
shores, arise in a few mountain springs so ;.!!
our ailments can be traced to impure blood
and a small group of disordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy fur
disease is Parker's Tonie. It goes to the
sources of pain and weakness. In response
to its action, thc liver, kidneys, stomach und
heart begin their work afresh, arni disease is
driven out. The Tonic is not, however, an
intoxicant, hut cures a desire for strong
drink. Have you dyspepsia, rheumatism, or
troubles which have, refused to yield to other
agents? Here is your help.
