Years ago, when he was in general and active practice, he found that a combination of certain herbs and roots made into an alterative extract, with' out the use of alcohol would always put the stomach into a healthv condition, nour ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves and put healthy tone into the whole system. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery restores the lost flesh by curing diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition nnd emibtititr the perfect di- gestion nnd assimilation of food from which flesh and strength are made.

There I lay all warmly anugglrd while I listened to the song That the icy wind wuj whistling as it whirled the flakes along. There was snow sgainst my window ; all the aleepiog world was white, And I thought of sll the stories they had told ms of the night When the shepherds in Judea heard an angel chains eiog Of a maoger-oradled baby born to be a mighty King. Then my thoughts went drifting onward to the tales of Santa Claus With hii dainty sleigh and sleigh-bells and the reindeer team that draws Desr old Ssnta and his presents over all the world, ao swift, That tbe runners leave no traces in the softest, deepest drift, Made me shiver jast to think about the froi:n country where Dear old Saoia lives for always I had seen a g'lar bear In a cage once, at the oireus and I sbuddored juH my best, Then I well, my Uncle Tommy says I surely dreamed the rest. I waa sliding down an iceberg, haviog lots of fun, And had started toward tbe summit just as fast as I oould run. Somehow dreams are kind o' lunny all along the litt'e slide Chriitmas trees brimful of presents grew in rows on either side, Tops snd candies, sleds aod dollies hung around just everywhere ; I waa reaching np to take some, when I saw s great, big bear Starting down the slide to get me, with bis mouth a'l fixed to bite, And I got so scared to see him that I oouldn't run a mite. Then I waked. The moon was shining; through the window by my bed; Looking through tbe iron railings I oould see a furry bead Like the one that I'd aeen comio down the slide to gobble me, Aod I lay right atill and quivered, just as scared as I could be, Then I saw my etockiog wiggle I had hung it on a chair; Saw a big lat hand that made me know it waso't any bear; Saw the moonshine on his whiskers snd I knew just who it was It was Christmas Eve, I 'membercd, and my 'bear" waa Santa Claus I THE DEPARTING FRIEND. Old Year, old friend, I know ihe end Ia near And thou art dying. I, in my vaio despair, am crying. "Ho'd! hold, apaoel Let me but look upon thy faoe Ooe moment mote. Nay, do not die Uaiil, to sorrowful good-bye, Remorse and sad repentance find a voice For recreant remimoese. Ah, what choicv, Fair chances ihon didst oflcr mo Io life! What lib'ral legacy. Thou wouldat have lefl me had I knon The half I know today! I own I've been too thoughtless of thee, Ineo l Today, while thou art dying Already lo thy enow-shroud lying Tbe mem'ry of the hours come back When, had 1 dons thee kindness Time, While thou wert in thy vigorous prime, Thou wouldsl now will me something mors Than withered hopes and keen regret, Alack. Thou'rt gone, irrevocable past, And now at last. There oome, from out the shsdow of tha year aguna But bitter memories. And thou and I, we two a'one, Know, 'mid the auff riog and the aio.

SNU CLAUS IS COMING- "Old Santa Claus is coming I" I've heard it all day long, And the gay rogues in the nursery Have been singing of this song. For months and weeks I've beard them Io the nursery with their fun Counting on their ohubby fingeis, "Days till Santa Claus would come." Dowo the stairway io my study, Now they come with laugh snd shout "Santa Claus will oome tomorrow; Papa, have you found it out ?" I can't show them I'm impatient ; So I put my woik away, Answer throi with giy, good humor; "I ea, sweetheart", just one more day, And I tell them Christmas stories Of ( mother's angel face, And how she'll intercede with Santa, Have their naughty deeds erased. But I hide from them my sorrow, Thst my darlings may not know Hall my heart ia with their mother, Folded close beneath tbe snow. A FRIGHTENED HORSE.

In the Dusseldorf Gallery io Prussia are two paintings which have touched many hearts one of a wild Gypsy girl and another of the Saviour. The gypsy girl lived the wild life of her tribe, and had been called in by Sternberg, a German painter, that he might paint her pretty face. She had never been in an artist's Btudio before, and did not fail to notico on the other side of the room ao unfinished oaintincr of the crucifixion of our Lord One day she asked, "Master, who is that?'1 'That is Jesus Christ, Soi of Mary," replied the painter, carelessly. "But was He a bad man that they treated Him so cruelly?" "0, ool He was the best man that ever lived." "Tell me more about Him," and so he did, though unwilling to do to. Day after day as tbii gvpsy girl camo to the studio to have her picture paioted her fioe was fixed upoi this paioting of Christ As the last sittiog was over aod ahe was about to leave the room she whispored: "Mas'cr, how can you help loving Him, who you say, has died tot you? If anybody had loved me liko that, 0, I'd like to die for him?" And then with a sad heirt ahe went back to her people. Ana tne painter! tie was struck as with an arrow, God's Spirit sent the words borne to his heart. He fell on his knees, and, covering hia faee with his hands, ooufessed before Gol's blessed Son how for twenty-seven years he h neglected Him and sinned against Him and, looking for pardon to that cmss of Jesus, gave his life to Him. His heart was filled with a new joy, and he then became a worker for Christ. He put aside the half-finished picture in which he had thought only of depicting the surTerinn of Christ, and began a fresh one with bis heart full of love toward that Saviour who h id died fur Him He felt that the Lord helped him as never before.
