receiving no answer, he cautiously opened
the window, hen tho monkey, having a
red cap on his head, aod wealing a little
red coat and breeches, hopped iu, and
ruht on tbe shoulders of the old man.
He jumped clear acrrss the cabin in
his fright, howling lustily for help -the
money chatteiing all the time, and inci
dentally pulling the old fellow's woul.
He tried in vain to jump out of the
window, and to unfasten the door tint
his eyes were closed tight, to ke.p out
the vision of ih monkey's grinning I'.ee.
Finally he made fur thi chimney aud

nimbly down, and tugged at bis feet to
pull liitii back.
Failing in this the monkey proceeded
to build a fire under him, with great in
telligence blowing it to a blaze.
They say around the neighborhood
that the shrieks of the old man could be
heard a milt ! "Ob, Lawd I my time

YOUR BEST WORK
A timid mm, a discouraged woiker,
nd henrtid strugghr, can r.eier do lie
bet work of which be is capable. Tie
timid inau is afraid to let out his foices.
The discouraged man thinks tlnre is ro
uc in c xeriisiug bis forces The sad-
bearted man has weakened his r ices so
that he oannot re..pi nd to a call. It il
nit merely eheerluiuess io cur wolk that
we need; it is downright faitb, buue-t,
whole souled daring. Try to do your
best with a question whether it pays or
whether there is any hone of success, or
whether life is not a great, cloudy expe
rience and you will fail. The best in us
comes up through confidence, snd it is
kissed iuto power by smiles of hope, and
it is led on by shouts of victory, and
crowned by beautiful patienoe. "The
best" is born of contest, and is colored
by blood. And it ia measured io God's
glorious presence, not by banners, or hu
man plaudits, or sounding trumpets, bit
by the amount of virtue which has en
tered into it.

and asked for morphine, and the shop

Is it for your husband?
Oh, no, sir; I have not got any.

Do not fasten the lid of the coffin down yet;
Let me have a long look at the face of my pet.
Please all quit the chamber and pull to the door,
And leave me alone with my darling once more.
Is this little Ethel, so cold, and so still !
Beat, beat, breaking heart, 'gainst God's mystic will,
Remember, O Christ, thou didst dread thine own cup
And while I drink mine, let thine arm bear me up.
But the moments are fleeting; I must stamp on my
brain,
Each dear little feature, for never again
Can I touch her; and only God measures how much
Affection a mother conveys by her touch.
Oh! dear little head, oh! dear little hair,
So silken, so golden, so soft, and so fair,
Will I never more smooth it? Oh! help me, my God,
To bear this worst stroke of the chastening rod.
Those bright little eyes that used to feign sleep,
Or sparkle so merrily, playing at peep,
Closed forever! And yet they seemed closed with a
sigh,
As if for our sake she regretted to din.
And that dear little mouth, once so warm and so
soft,
Always willing to kiss you, no matter how oft,
Cold and rigid, without the least tremor of breath,
How could you claim Ethel, 0 pitiless death!
Her hands! No, 'twill kill me to think how they wove
Through my daily existence a tissue of love.
Each finger's a print upon memory's page,
That will brighten, thank God! and not dim with my
age.
Sick or well, they were at every request
To amuse us; sweet hands! they deserve a sweet rest.
Their last little trick was to wipe "Bopeep's" eye,
Their last little gesture, to waive us good bye.
Little feet! little feet, how dark the heart's gloom,
Where your patter is hushed in that desolate room !
For oh! 'twas a sight sweet beyond all compare,
To see little "Frisky" rock back in her chair.
0 Father! have mercy, and grant me thy grace
To see, through this frown, the smile on thy face;
To feel that this sorrow is sent for the best,
And to learn from our darling a lesson of rest.

The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and
astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco
and cigarettes or any external or local application, is
Just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of
the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary
relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the
bronchial tubes soon nil up again with mucus.
Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it
checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and
vapors which should pass off through the skin, are
thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin,
producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus,
much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation
reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other
parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath
becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red,
hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does
not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the
circulation all onensive matter, and when rich, pure
blood is again coursing through the body the
mucous membranes become healthy and the skin
active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap
pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected.
S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange the
Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve
under its tonic effects. Write us about your case and get the best medical
advice free. Book on blood and skin diseases sent on application.
