What Matters It?
What matters it, my carious friend, where
lies
Our Heavenly harbor and our land of rest?
Whether it be beyond the axure skies
Or in some tower world, God knoweth
best
It offers safety from our cares, and so
What matters whether it be high or low,
It offers rest; what more should mortals
know?
Rest from the weariness of burdened day9,
Of bitter longings and of evil hours,
Of duties leading us through the darkened
ways
And into efforts far beyond our powers,
Of dark temptations into secret sin,
Of constant labor, earth's poor gauds to
win,
Of spirits deafened by the strife and din.
It matters nothing as to when or where
We find the haven and the welcome home;
Let curious doubt give place to trusting
prayer,
And no weak 90ul through speculations
roam
To seek for sealed up secrets, hidden things;
Enough for us, If on eternal wings,
We reach the country of those better things.
Vex not thy spirit, 0 aspiring nun,
But live thy days as earnest workers must
Nor try to pierce thy God's mysterious plan
Which obligates thee to a life of trust.
Some day, somewhere, while countless ages
roll,
Thy hungry heart shall comprehend the
whole,
The vail be parted for thy thankful soul.
L Edgar Jones, in London Echo
Myriads of Wild Fowle.
Baltimore San.
The myriads of water fowl seen on
the surface of the Delaware river last
week would be the envy of every
sportsman who could witness the
countless droves. For some unknown
reason on Wednesday and Thursday
last the river literally swarmed with
wild fowl, principally ducks of the
black, mallard and sprig tail varie
ties, with an occasional bunch of coy
geese, who raised the alarm of danger
with their "Honk! honkl" at every
approaching vessel, and in dignilied
single file flew to sequestered quarters
The presence of these great flocks of
ducks is accounted for. They came
in a night from the South, hovered
about over the river two days and
then continued their flight north
ward. The massiveness of these huge
droves would almost indicate that
every other feeding ground had been
depopulated, and the feathered gour
mands had gathered for a tempting
feast. Whatever they found so pala
table no one can ascertain, but either
through the yearning of an appetite,
whetted by long fasting and a hard
flight, or because of the luring nature
of the deposit ot food, the ducks were
practically insensible to danger and
would scarcely rise until boats were
in their midst when the spectre sails
or clouds of steam would distract
their attention from the aqueous bill
of fare and put them to flight for a
short distance.

Ill Fate of an Armenian Girl.
A London cablegram says: Consid
erable excitement prevails on the
Armenian frontier, owing to the fate
of an Armenian girl named Mirkir
titch, who escaped from a Turkish
harem at Biza, and got as far as the
Russian frontier, where she was cap
tured, and, it 1b said, carried back to
Rieaand murdered.
The girl had been kidnapped two
years before from her house in Rus
Armenia, and sold to a wealthy Mos
lemarlrisa. When the story became
known to the refugee Armenians on
the Russian side of the border, they
were, with difficulty, restrained from
crossing the frontier to Invade Turk
ish Armenia.

local an ; constitutional treat
ment is necessary to thoroughly
eradicate Catarrh. Exclusively
local applications, if made when the
trouble first begins, sometimes cure, hut
more frequently drive the disease to other
parts of the system, where it develops in
a far more serious form. Blood, purifiers
may improve the condition of the system,
but they seldom cure for they do not
reach the seat of the disease. Certain
Catarrh Cure is the only preparation
which combines local and constitutional
treatment, and can consistently claim to
cure Catarrh in all its forms and stages,
it is cheap, easily used, purely vegetable,
entirely li arm Seas. By it, others, who had
no faith, have been cured: YOU CAN BE,
whether you have had the disease one year
or tit'ty ; whether it is in the head, stomach
or.bladder TRY 7T NOW.
DELAY IS OANGEROUS.
Past Failures Need not Discourage You.
In Support of Our Claims,
We offer the testimony of those who n:iv
tried Certain Catarrh Cure to their entire
nfttisfaction. "An ounce of experience is
worth a pound of theory." Our endorsers
are well known persons, who are alive and
can be found. Not one of our testimoni
als was purchased at any price. Tney are
the voluntary expressions of parties who
seek to oenefit humanity. A perusal of
them will surely convii.ee you that our
claims are well founded. If you have
Catarrh, you cannot afford to be indiffer
ent to its progress; Treatment cannot he
commenced too early. The longer disease
eontinorsi; the more time it will reo iiw to
be eradiaUod. Your unsatisfactory experi
ence v. itii other remedies should rjoi 'nflu
ence you against ours. Lay asi le distrust:
'ive Certain Catar:-h Cure a fair lebt, and
you wii!, throughout the remainder of your
life, feel thankful to us for the advice.
$1,000 Iteward-a Humbug!
Don't Bk Dkckitw) by th offer of
large reward in case some medicine fails to
cure you. If the reward is claimed, there
is always some way to evade he pay
ment ; if never claimed, it is no evidence that
everybody, or anybody, has been cured;
but it speaks well for the intelligence of
our people, that no one is fool enough
to expect its' payment $ 1,000,000
might be offered with equal safety; for it
is needless to say that the user of such med
icines always dies before their proprietors
are convinced that he "can't be cured." It
is one of the most deceptive schemes that
ever insulted an enlightened people.
We are disposed to give the public every
protection possible against the imposition
of scheming frauds or worthless nostrums,
but NO DEPENDENCE CAN BE
PLACED IN GUARANTEES. If Con
gress will pass a law by which all medi
cines are subjected to a thorough test, and
their merits in the diseases which they
claim to cure are rally established before
they can be offered for sale, we will heart
ily favor it. An honest remedy suffers
more from the failure of other prepara
tions to establish their claims, than from
all other causes 'combined aa disappoint
ment in cno medicine causes distrust in
many.
Certain Catarrh Cure is mentioned to fa
vorably, by our customers that we have great
confidence in its merits. Alexander Drug
and Seed Co., Augusta, Go.
We hive handled Certain Catarrh Cure
since i In first introduction. It has given gen
eral sa.tinfiic.tion, and sue.1 has been the in
crease in demand, that our purchases during
the last sue months have amounted to nearly
hoenty-five gross. The Lamar Drug Co.,

Its Harmlessuess.
Makes it entirely safe to try Certain
Catarrh Cure for any trouble, without tbe
slightest fear of injury. It is a purel)
vegetable preparation, and to the most
delicate constitution, or organ of the body,
can p.-oduce no bad effect whatever.
REMEMBER I
Certain Catarrh Cure is not simply a
snuff or local application, to drive the dis
ease from the nasal organs into the system ;
nor a blood remedy, to tone up the system
and leave the nasal parts uncured ; but it
is a combination of both methods, and the
only remedy which will give satisfaction in
the many different stages of catarrh.
