NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
There's a beautiful golden city
Whose Maker aud Builder is He
Who gave His only begotten
A ruusom for you and me
A city which hath foundations
That were laid by the hand of God,
And streets that are shining, goldeu,
By the feet of bright angels trod.
'Tis a beautiful, lovely city,
With the niausions many and free;
Bright home of the faithful pilgrim
When life's journey shall ended be.
O, who would not enter that city,
And, with the redeemed at rest,
Behold the dear face of the Saviour,
With whose presence the city is blest!
O, lead me, Thou Heavenly Father;
Thro' the gloom of encircling night;
O, guide my wandering footsteps
To that home of heavenly light.
There let me behold my Saviour,
Who suQ'ered and died for me,
And dwell in His holy presence
Through cudless eternity.
ONE SUMMER'S DAY.
The other day, at one of the railroad
depots, I saw a gray-haired woman of
fifty whose face betrayed such sorrow and
anxiety that I softly approached to hear
the story she told to a policeman. She
had come to look for a daughter who
had left home last Spring and of whom
no tidings had been received for scleral
long weeks. She bad made a journey of
a hundred miles expecting almost that
the first person she met in this great city
could give her the information she to
craved. When she realized the hope
lessness of her search she sat down and
wept as mothers do when their hearts
are breaking. By and by, as she grew
calmer, she told me the story, and I felt
a cold chill creep over uio as she talked.
A girl of eighteen ha,d left her home
up in one of the valleys to take a situa
tit n in New York. She left behind her
only a widowed mother this woman
beside me. As she talked to me through
her tears I could call up the scene
at the humble little home the packing
of the trunk the tears the promises
the heart-aches over the separation. Let
ters had been frequent at first, but as
the weeks rolled by they came at longer
intervals and finally ceased altogether.
The mother had written and waited, and
watched and grown desperate. Who
could give her news of Mary? Who
co'ild help her to find her only child?
She had neither street nor number no
clue as to her whereabouts.
And as she sought to force back her
tears and control her emotion another
picture rose up before me and I dared
not look the mother in the eyes. It was
that of a crowded steamboat on her way
to Glen Island one Summer day. There
was a party of four who attracted atten
tion by their hilarious conduct. One of
the girls was young and fair and we heard
her called Mary. We beard her speak
of the town in the valley. There were
thosa who felt to pity her as they realiz
ed that she had started on a downward
career. By and by her laughter subsid
ed, her smiles vanished, and as we wonder
ed if some prayer from home had not
bejn whispered in h.ir ears she rose up,
walked away, aud five minutes later
sprang overboard and the water closed
over her. Sne did not cry out never
lifted a hand as she sunk to her :rave.
That was Mary, the missing daughter
ot this gray-hareu widowl mere could
be no shadow of doubt. She was not
even to see her grave take back not one
single relic of the loved and lost. I
could not tell her what I saw that day
lell her of the blue-eyed, red-checked
girl with golden hair, who went to her
death with the wurd "mother! on her ,
lips. I hope no one will tell her. I hope i
that she may return home to wait and j
watch and hope until death comes to end
her waiting. It would be les cruel than
that she sho'i.d know the truih.

Helen stood on the doorsteo with a
very tiny basket in her hand, whea her
lather drove up to her and said: "1 am
glad you are ready to go out, dear. I
came to take vou to Mrs. Lees park to
see the new deer."
"Oh, thank you, pa; but 1 can t go
just this time. The deer will keep, aud
we can go to morrow. 1 have a very
particular errand to do now," sid the
little girl.
"What is it, dear?" asked the father.
'Oil, it is to carry this somewhere,"
and she held up the small basket.
Her father smiled and asked : "Who
is the errand for, dear?"
'For my own self, papa; but oh, no;
I guess not it's a little errand for God,
papa."
" Well, I will not hiuder you, my little
dear," said t lie good good father tender
ly "Can I help you any?"
"No, nr. 1 was umug to carry my
orance. that I saved from the dessert, to
old l'ctcr."
'Isold Peter sick?"
"o. I hone not; but he never has
' 1 '
anything nice, and lie's good aud thauk-
ful. Big folks give him only cold meat
and broken bread, and I thought au
orange would look so beautiful and make
him so happy! Don't you think poor well
folks ought to be comforted sometimes
as well as the sick folks, papa?"
Yes, my dear; and I think wo too often
fnrcet them until sickness or atarvation
co us. You're right; this is a little er
rand of God. Get into the buggy, and I
will drive you to old Peter's and wait till
vou have done the errand and then show
you the deer. Have you a pin, Helen?"
"Yes, papa; here is one."
"Well, here is a $3 bill for you to fix
on the skin of the orange. This will pay
old retersrent tor tour weeks, and per
haps this will be a little errand for God,
too," said the gentleman.
Little Helen, wlio Had taught a wise
lesson looked very happy as her fingers
fixed the fresh bill on the orange.

The young roan had been with the

"Be a good fellow," said a third.
Now that "Be a good fellow" well,
every man knows what that means. Ev
ery man has done something be did not
want to do and ought not to have done
for fear some one might think he was
not a "good fellow."
The young man hesitated.
'No, 1 guess I had better go," he said
at last.
"Nonsouse! It's early yet," protested
one.
"Sit down ! Sit down ! We'll all be
home before 12," added another.
The young man sat down, rested bis
arms on the table, and said:

lie panned a moment to giue them an
opportunity to speak, but no one said a
word. Then he said:
"Boys, if you think you want my
company to-night more than she does I'll
stay.''
There was another pause; then one of
the party took a sip of champagne and
said:
"I'd rather you'd go home."
The others nodded their assent and the
young man said :
"I'd rather go."

It has done me more good than all
other medicines I have ever used." K.

About a year ago I began using Ayer'J
Sarsaparilla as a remedy for debility ami
neuralgia resulting from malarial exposure
In the army. I was in a very bail condi
tion, but six bottles of the Sarsaparilla,
with occasional doses of Ayer's fills, havis
greatly Improved my health. I nm now
able to work, and feel that I cannot say-
too much for your excellent remedies."

as I was." William 1". Stearns, a Free St.,

Kmbcrson, Texas.
"After years of experience as a druggist,
during which time I have seen, handled,
and heanl of blood-purifiers almost with
out number, I can conscientiously say that,
for genuine merit, I regard Ayer's Sarsa
parilla as without a rival. This medicine
has always inspired and deserved confi
dence, and at no lime has it ever had so
great a bold upon tin' public as at the
present day." George Liunett, Dispensing
