SETTLED AT LAST.
She came into the resturant,
She eat down in a chair',
She tosses up her bangs and then
She reads, the bill of fare.
She reads it up, she reads it down,
She reads it crosswise, too,
She reads it near, she reads it far,
She reads it through and through.
She takes it up, she puts it down.
She looks around in deubt.
She hums, she drums, she sighs, she
starts,
Her lips begin to pout.
The waiter stands with spinxlike stare
For hours, it seems to me.
And then she says she thinks she'll have
A cup of nice hot tea.

AID FOR THE STORM STRICKEN
PEOPLE.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 2 Ac
tive steps were tak n this morning by
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, in
the direction of affording as much
relief as possible for the stricken peo
ple of the State. Mr. Brawly, mem
br of Congress from South Carolina,
called upon the Secretary of War,
but was unable to see him, but Mr.
Butler was more iortunate at a later
hour. The Secretary saidhe had no
power, without an act of Congress
authorizing him so to do, to issue
rations, but said that he would gladly
loan all the tents the department had
and that conld be of service.
The nearest military post is Atlan
ta, and Mr. Butler at once telegraph
ed Mr. Averill, receiver, to know
how many were needed so that the
department could issue the order for
their transportation as speedily as
possible. Mr. Butler next called on
the Secretary of the Navy and ured
him to do what he could toward
relief. The Secretary said there had
been a great deal of debris thrown
upon and about the Port Royal dock,
although the dock itself had sustained
but little damage A large force ol
men would be needed, however, be
said, to remove this stuff ond put the
dock in order, and Mr. Butler was
assured that an order would be
promptly issued to the commandant
in charge to give work to as many
people es possible, so they nrght, be
put m possession of the means where
by they could help themselves.

Sarah, daughter of William and Flor

age.
The subject of this tribute, has for
several years suffered greatly from that
fell destroyer, consumption. But
throughout all of her iline&s she mani
fested a gentle, patient ai.d christian
resigns tion. V' trust and believe,
that whru her spirit fled to the realms
above, she met at the pc rtals of Heaven,
the sweet whieper of Angels welcom
ing her to Heaven, home sweet home
It is always sad to loone oue we love,
but when that one has been a sufferer
so long, it is better for us to pray foi
faith, so that we cart look up to the
shrine of Heavenly Grace and say "Tin
will not mine be done." When we re
fleet that her pain and suffering are i.t
an end, and that our loss is her eternal
gain, we are encouraged to chant a re
frain: "Dearest sister thou has left us.
Here thy loss we deeply feel.
But 'tis God, that has bereii us,
He can all our sorrows he,i..
Sister thou wast mild and lovely.
Gentle as the summer breeze.
Pleasant us the air of ever ing.
When it fl-'Hts among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
I'eareful in the grave so lw.
Thou no more wilt join our number.
Thou no mote our songs shail know
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
When the day of life has fled.
Then in Heaven with joy to gieetthee,
When no farewell tears are shed."

Mrs. M. A. JJiiOCKWELL, Harris,

"Ayer's C.illmrfic Pills cured m of si k

No Better Medicine,
and have induced many to ;.se it."
"Thirty-five years :it; thin Spring. I was
run down ty hard work and a succt ssio:i ( i
colds, which made me so feeble that it wan
an lil-'it for me to walk. I consulted the
doctors, but kept sinking lower until I had
given up all hope of ever being better.
Happening to be in a store, one day, w hero
medicines were sold, the prooiietor noticed
my weak and sickly appearance, and after
a few questions as to my health, recom
mended me to try Ayer'd Tills. I had littlw
faith in these or any other medicine, but
concluded, at last, to take his advice and try
a box. Mefore I had used th'-in all, I was
very nv.ich better, and two boxes cured me.
I ;im now 80 years old; but I believe that
if it had not been for Ayer's Tills, 1 should
have been in my grave Ions ago. I buy 6
boxes every year, which make 210 boxes up
