Some time, when all life's lessons have;
" been learned, I
And sun and stars forever more5
have set,
The things which our weak judgments
here have spurned,
The things o'er which we grieved
with lashes wet,
Will flash' before us out of life's dark
night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints
of blue; ,
And we snail see how God's ' plans
were right, 3 -i .
. And how what seemed reproof , was
love most true.
And we shall see, while still ,we frown
. and sigh,
God's plans go on as best for you
' and. me; ,-. ' '
How, when we called, He needed not
our cry.
Because His wisdom to the end
could see.
And e'en, as prudent parents disallow
. Too much of sweet to craving baby
hoodv So God. perhaps, iss keeping from us
now ' ; v . -'s
Life's sweetest things, because it
seemeth good. , . . .. .
And if sometimes, commingled with
- life's wine,
We find the wormwood,' and rebel
: and shrink; i
Be sure a wiser band thanyoura or
mine . i
- . Pours out this portion for our lips
to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying
low, ,
Where human kisses cannot reach
his face,
. Oh. do not blame the loving father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedient
grace 1
And you shall shortly kaow that
lengthened breath
Is not tbe sweetest gift God sends
his friends, x -
And that sometimes the sable pall ' of
death
Conceals the fairest boon His love
. can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of-life,
And stand within, and all God's
' working see,
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife, ' ' ,
" , And for each mystery - could find a
key. .
But not to day. Then be content,
I poor heart; 4 s
God's plans, like lilies pure a&d
white, "unfold, -We
must Dot tear the close-shut leaves
apart
Time will reveal the; calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toil, we reach
the land , ' -Where
tired feet, with sandals loose,
1 may rest
When we shall clearly know and
understand,
I think that we will say that "God

BE CURED OF
The londerM
Now, what is the grip?
Can it be avoided or prevented?
And can it be cured?
Grip is characterized by a continued
fever, by a tendency to inflammation
kof the membranes of the digestive and
often the respiratory tracts, by pain in
the muscles, and by debility.
The grip in individual -cases varies
from a slight indisposition to severe
forms i with grave symptoms these
variations deoendiner whollv upon the
health, age' temperament or nervous
condition of the person. Those pre
disposed to rheumatism suffer great
pain in the muscles ; persons of nervous
temperament become low spirited.
often have hysteria, and, if not closely
watched, have been known to commit
suicide. Several cases of this sort have
been reported this month in the news
papers. Headache Is a constant symp
tom. The bowels are generally con
stipated. Whatever form the disease
takes there is invariably extreme pros
tration. The danger to persons in
previous healthful condition is slight
It has been absolutely proven that
there is one certain -preventive of seri
ous cases of grip; and thit there is one
remedy for persons suff eVing with it,
or beginning to be convalescent from
its attack.

great a call for it has been due to its
use by thousands of people for whom
it has been prescribed b intelligent
phvsicians, ,to restore the patient's
vitality, to! purify the blood of the
enervating poison, to restore the ner

strengthen the vital organs.
A person will continue to suffer from
the evil effects of grip for many
months unless he attacks the disease by

poisons in the system, supplying the

After a while the disease not having

celery compound. He was soon back
at his office in the department of pub
lie works, a well man, and forthwith
wrote a letter to the proprietors of the
remedy, in which he says:
. "I had been told by friends of the
wonderful results obtained by tnem
from the use of Paine's celery com
pound. After my severe attack of the
grip I determined to try it. I have
already found that my friends' reports
were not at all exaggerated, and
wish to join most cheerfully with
them in recommending the remedy to
others."

"wrote to him while in session:
"Dear Sir: We hereby notify you
that the, Board of Directors of the

January 26, 1899, and we hereby de
mand that yoii- surrender and deliver
to us such of the property of said

confined therein, asvare in your pos
session." He replied as follows :
"Gentlemen Being of opinion that
the act of the'. Assembly, ratified Jan
uary 26, 1899, under authority of
which you profess to act, is unconsti
tutional, and has no effect . to deprive
me of official authority or to relieve
me or my bondsmen of responsibility,
or to authorize you to demand the
property .now in my custody, or . to
assume and exercise any of my official
functions, I, therefore, decline your
demand for the rurrender of the same,
and the delivery of said property or the
control of the convicts into your

to facilitate a judicial determination
of your claims." .
