HOME SHORES.
Nut long the way to the Gates of Day
Up from the shadows, col J and gray;
The sure stars sing to the deepening night
Of welcome shores of a morning bright
Rest for the weary, and Home in sight!
Home, o'er the river's driven foam,
And the Lights of God on the shores of Home.
Is it of wonder, in life's far day,
They sigh for Home who have lost the way?
VC'ho have come with burdens, and with heart-trust
Have laid thetn down in the wayside dust;
Tenderly, sadly laid them down.
With only thorns in jheir wounding crown?
Who, reckoning not of gain or loss,
Have knelt in darkness and kissed a cross,
And asked for the silence of flower and sod
If the clouds can hide the graves from God.
The night is long, but the day burns bright
In that far country where is no night;
And even as little dnldn.fi run
To the rest uf Home when day is done
To the sheltering love of a mother's breast,
Sn we dream of the gleam of the Shores of Rest,
Weary we eo; hut the long way past,
Joy where the thorn bruised travelers roam
1 luine, and Heaven, and rest at last!
The lights of God on ibe shores of Home.

Look lor the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
If it's weak kidneys you must
set the kidneys working right.
A Weldon resident tells you
how.
Mrs. Mary J. Allen, Fifth St.,
Weldon, says: "I had pains in
my back and 1 could hardly get up
out of a chair at times. In the
morning, 1 was sore and lame. 1
had headaches and diy spells and
the kidney secretions were loo fre
quent in passage. Two boxes ol
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of
all symptoms of kidney trouble
and I haven't had a return of the
complaint since."
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mrs. Allen had.
