The Shroud.

The snow came softly, sllenUy down Into the streets of the dark old town: And lo! by the wind It was swept and piled. On the sleeping form of a beggar child. it kissed her cheek, and It filled her hair With crystals that looked like diamonds there; And she dreamed that she was a fair young bride In a pure white dress by her husband's side. A blush crept over her pale young face. And her thin lips smiled with a girlish grace; But the old storm king made bis boast aloud That bis work that night was weaving a shroud. —Tom Hall, from “When Hearts Are Trumps." The Way with ’Em. When the editor strikes a streak of gold. Does he work It for all it is worth, And put up a sign: “I am running this mine!" And get a good share of the earth? Not much: When the dollars have weighted his till. And he faces prosperity’s gales; When he hears the cash talk. And he’s king of the walk. He enlarges the paper and—fails! —Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution. There is more Catarrh in tb's section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last tew vears wassup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronovneed it a 10. al disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced itincurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & 00., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.
