TO THE LADIES OF
WESTERN HALF OP HALIFAX CO.
I know Dr. J. A. .VcGill's ORANGE
BLOSSOM ,0 be a Terv Sreat blessing to
our sex. We have long needed some
thing which we could use ourselves ud
which could oooquer the stubborn forms
of chronic inflammation and congestion
which lie at the foundation of all female
troubles. That Dr. JeGill's treatment
meets the demand of this long felt want
is shown by the fact that many cases
which have baffled the skill of our best
physicians, are being cured by it. I have
pledged myself to let my suffering sisters
in the above Counties know of this simple,
entirely safe, vet wonderful cure. To
accomplish this I must have the help of
some good Christian lady in each township.
There are not less than ane thousand ladies
in each of the atave Counties to whom this
cure would be of inestimable value, many
of them mother who need strength that
tbey may train their little ones; then there
aie so many voting nirls whose trouble is
not considered serious, but nevertheless
need attention, as only a little time will
be required for it take the color from the
cheeks and all the joy from their glad
young lives as it has done in thousands of
cases, hend a two-cent stamp tor iree

Agent's Terms to those who will assist me.

THIS OLD WIFE.
YOU HAVE FOUND HEAVES, JANET
BUT YOU WILL COME FOR ME SOON.
She had lain all day in a stupor, breath
ing with heavily-laden breath, but as the
fiun sank to rest in the far off Western
eky, and the red glow on the wall of the
room faded into dense shades she awoke
and called feebly to her partner, who sat
motionless by her bedside. He bent over
his dying wife, and took her worn,
wrinkled hand in his. "Is it night?"
she asked in tremulous tones, looking at
him with eyes that saw not. "Yes," he
answered softly; "it is growing dark."
"Where are tho children?" she asked;
"are they all in !" Poor old man ! How
could he answer her 7 The children who
had slept fur long years in the cold church
yard, who had borne the burden and heat
of the day, and growing old, had laid
down the cross and gone to wear the
crown before the father and mother had
finished their sojourn. "The children
all safe," answered the old man, tremu
lously; "Don't think of them, Junet;
think of yourself. Does the way seem
dark?" "My trust win Thee; let me
never be confounded." What does it
matter if the way is dark; I'd rather
walk with God in the dark than walk
alone in the light. I'd rather walk with
Him in faith than walk alone by sight.
"John, where is little Charlie?" she
asked. Her mind was in the past. The
grave-dust of twenty years had lain on
Charlie's golden hair, but the mother
bad never forgotten him. The old man
patted her cold hands that bad labored
so bard that they were seamed and
wrinkled and calloused with years of toil,
and the wedding ring was worn to a
thread of gold and then he pressed his
thin lips to them and cried. She had
encouraged and strengthened him in
every toil of life. Why, what a woman
she had been I What a worker! What
a leader in Israel I Always the gift of
prayer or service. They had stood at
many a death-bed together closed the'
eyes of loved ones, and then sat down
with the Bible between them to read tho
promises, jxow then she was aDie to
cross the dark river alone. And it was
strange and sad to the old man, and the
yellow-haired grand daughter left them,
to hear of her babble of walks in the
woods; of gathering May flowers and
strolling with John; of petty household
cares that she had always put down with
strong, resolute hand; of wedding feasts
and death-bed triumphs; and when at
midnight she heard the bridegroom's
voice, and the old man, bending over
cried pitifully, and the young grand
daughter kissed her cold brow there was
a solemn joy is her voice as she spoke of
her children, one by one as if she saw
them with immortal eyes, and with one
glad smilo put on immortality. They led
tho old man-sobbing away, and when he
saw her again the glad sun was shining,
the air was jubilant with the the songs
of birds, and she lay asleep on the couch
under the north window, where he had
seen her so often lie down to rest while
waiting for the Sabbath bell. And she
wore the same best black silk, and the
string of gold beads about her thin neck
and the folds of white tulle, only now the
broach with bis miniature was wantiug,
and in its place was a white rose and a
spray of cedar for she loved to sing over
her work.
But a strange transformation was thernl
The wrinkles gone; the traces of age and
pain and weariness were all smoothed out;
the face had grown strangely young, and
a placid smile was on the pale lips. The
old man was awed by the likeness to the
bride ot his youth. He kissed the un
responsive lips, and said softly; "You've
found Heaven, Janet, but you'll come for
me soon. It's our first parting in over
seventy years, but it won t be tor long I
And it was not. The winter snows have
not fallen, and today would have been
their diamond wedding. We planned
much for it, and I wonder I wonder
but no! Where they are there is neither
marriage nor given in marnaao.

BROWN'S IRON BITTERS
WAS IT A SPIRIT.
MR. C. W. MOSES, OF QABRETT, IND.,
TELLS OF A REMARKABLE INCIDENT.
Mr. C. W. Moses, of Garrett, Ind , who
by the way, is the son of a Methodist
minister, and himself a member of the
Methodist church, and not a Spiritualist,
was in the city the other day and narra
ted the following remarkable incident :
"It was in 1885," said Mr. Moses
"and I was running from Garrett, Ind.,
to Chicago on the night run and pulling
the 'limited.' I left Garrett at 1 a. m.,
for Chicago on the night in question.
We left Garrett in good condition, but a
few minutes late, and I endeavored to
make up' lost time on what is known as
Suman's grade,' which is some 20 miles
long and terminated at Salt creek. The
last three miles are perfeetly straight to
the Salt creek bridge. When my train
reached the straight track, I noticed a
white pillar of cloud occupying the place
of the bridge and reaching quite high. I
took it to be fog, but neither above nor
below the bridge was the same visible. I
asked my fireman if he saw it and he
said 'Yes,' but thought it was fog. About
this time I felt as some one were in the
scat behind me, but on turning around no
one was visible. I then felt a hand
upon my right shoulder nnd then heard
my mother say: 'Charley, that bridge is
burned.' I felt the fingers very plainly
upon my shoulder. I knew my mother's
voice caj any one forget the voice of a
mother ? At once I applied the air; or
at least as soon as I recovered my aston
ishment. The train came to a standstill
about 20 feet from the east approach of
the bridge. I told my fireman that 1
would take my torch and walk across the
bridge, and that ho should not move the
train until I signaled. I walked about
15 feet when I came to the end of the
bridge found that 37 feet had burned
and dropped into the water aod put the
fire out. What I saw made me so weak
that I did not have any strength to move,
and I sat down on the end of the remnant
of the bridge. The conductor soon came
to where I was, and I related to him what
I have told you. Ft. Wayne News.

OBSERVATIONS OF A 8PRIGHTLY NA
TURE FROM BLEEDING KANSA8.
Everything home made is nice, of
course, but the nicest home made article
in the world is the home made girl. Tho
older we grow the ' moro we appreciate
her knowledge of cooking, and her igno
rance of Greek and Delsarte,
A giil will take a little 10 cent piece
of canvas, smatter a little 2 cent red and
blue paint on it, and then because no one
in town will pay $25 for the picture, she
will say we are not "cultured," and abuses
the town.
Somehow everyone dislikes to see an
unusually pretty girl get married. It is
like taking a bite out of a very fine look
ing peach.
some ot the prettiest girls in Atchison
sell silk and pretty things, instead of
standing on the other side of the counter
buying them.
Ihe girls in their new spring bats this
year look like the flowers the farmers
oall pests, and which the girls rave over
and call "Marguerites."
A man should not imagine because a
girl of 16 laughs at his jokes, that be is
a great wit; a girl of 16 laughs because
she is 16. Atchison Globe.
A pioneer minister in a frontier district
on a bright Sabbath day came upon a
woman busily engaged in the week's
washing. Accosting her tho following
conversation took place :
"My good woman, do you not know
that this is the day of rest and that it is
pinful to work during tho holy hours ?"
"Huh got to work all the time to live."
"Where is your husband ?"
"Off huntiu'."
"Whatl Hunting on the Sabbath
day?"
"Yes; got to hunt when he can to keep
meat in the house."
"But don't you know it is wrong ?
Have you no religious instruction ? Are
there no churches here ?"
"Tho Bnptis' has got a meetin' house
at the head of that criek, but 'uns don't
go, it's too fur."
"Are there any 1'resbytenans in the
neighborhood ?"
"Well, Idoanknow. Tho old man's
killed most every kind of varmint, but I
never heorn him My nothin' 'bout
Presbyterians. I dunno whethorhoever
killed any or not. He keeps his skins in
that shed yonder. You kin go over an'

SOUVENIR QUARTER COINS.
THE NEWS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
IN A CONCISE FORM.
The 40,000 souvenir quarter dollars
which Congress authorized to be minted
for the Board of Lady Managers of the
World's Fair, will be issued, it is expect
ed, about May 1. These coins are of
peculiar interest for several reasons. In
some respects the Isabella is a much
greater novelty than the Columbian half
dollar, as tbe coins bearing the Spanish
Queen's portrait are much more limited
in number. The act of Congress author
izing their issue only provides for the
minting ef 10,000 or 40,000 quarters,
hence there is every reason to believe they
will be extremely rare. They are certain
to command the attention of women the
world over, since they are the first recog
nition by a government of tbe position
that women are attaining in art, industri
al and social movements. Undoubtedly
the women of the country will regard
this as their special souvenir, and, as so
few will be minted, the demand fortbem
will be proportionately great.
The coin itself will be a work of art.
The same care and painstaking attention
will bo devoted to this issue as succeeded
in making the Columbian coins suoh
marvels of the minting art. The full
design has not been announced, but the
adverse side is to bear the portrait of the
Queen Isabella of Spain.
One of tho special features of the new
coin is that it is the first issued by this gov
eminent bearing the portrait of a woman.
Other coins bear idealized representations
of the fair sex, but this is the first to be
honored with the autbentio reproduction
of a particular feminine face. Tbe coin
is intended by the national government
to commemorate two important events
the aid given by Queen Isabella to Colum
bus which enabled him to make the voy
age of disoovery to America; and the first
special provision made by the United
States government for the adequate par
ticipation of women in an enterprise of
world wide importance.
Apart from the general interest im
parted to tbe coins of national legislation
nnd historic associations, their market
value will be augmonted by the fact that
every coin collector iu the world must
have one. The Catholics throughout the
world and tho people of the Spanish we
will be interested in the souvenir iu ap
preciation of the honor extended to the
memory of their greatest Queen by this
government.
