WHO 1 MY MEIliHnoR?
Ob, wbt a lovely bunch of psn-
6iet: la it possible ther are tor me; '
I exclaimed to a tiay, brown-eved
girl who placed a fragrant bouquet of
tbe gold and purple dewr blooms id
my hammock, in which I was idly
swinging under tbe big maple.
"Aunty Lee sent them," raid the
wee child, "and she hopes tbe moun
tain air wilt soon make you well, and
she's your neighbor down under tbe
bill."
Who is this neighborly Anntv
Lee ?" I arked tbe woman with whom
I boarded, when nert the came with
in hearing of my voice.
"Ob, then, she sVent you sume pj-
sies," replied talkative Mr. Evan,
coming briskly from the garden and
sitting down on tbe steps of the little
porch so that she might entertain me
while she was ebellin? her peas, thus
"killing tew birdtt with one eton," as
she said. "I was a wonderia' tew
myself not tew minutes ago how long
'twould be afore rhe'd Gad out about
ye aa' send ye suthiu'. I caa't see,
for my part, how she can afford to do
as she does.
"Why, what does she do?' I in
quired.
"Ob, she says she aims to be neigh
b.riT, -and if anybody happen? fo be
sick anywheres around she sends 'em
utile thing to eat and flowers to
cheer 'em cp, as she says ; ani i-fce
always ha, fcer komio work in her
pectet, and ser kdd j its of knitting,'
as she calls it, grows out like magic
into gloves and mittens and wrist
lets and stotkin'8 that t-hs gives
away."
"To her frlends-people fully able
to buy them, I suppose?"
'O dear, no. Ta poor children and
to ole men and women that 1 a'prwe
are really needy, and that set great
store by her warm and bacdeome
present, for her yarns are aa bright
as ber flowers, and I've told my man
a good many times thai tbe color
went half toward makin' ber little
gift so weloome. An' tvien sle has so
much comp'oT."
"llich p i le from the city, whose
visits she returns?"
' 0 land sakes ! no ; poor folks that
are tickled most to death to get a in
vitation to ber pleapaDt little' home.
Yes, ber bene is n iiDs.in' pleasant
one, though ber man is only a poor
mechanic. She's always a sayin'
that fbe'd ratber do little good ev
ery day aa aha goes along than too
b3 a waitin' tew do some great th'sg
when she gets able, aa' than, p'rLaps

Tbere was great excitement in the
little village, as a matter of course,
but Aunty Lee was reported to be as
'chipper" as ever. The nosegays
came to me every day aa usual, Dot
quite so many nor nr great a variety
as formerly, for a part of the garden
bad been washed aray, but enough
to give me an increased admiration
for the sweet old lady who was so
persistent and unwearying in ber
neighborly acts of kindness.

At tbe time appokited I bad a car

was surprised to see so many people,

After supper we set out the plants,

bis little machine shop. I soon
evinced Piy fondness for tools, and
confided to him an invention that
in a crude form Ion? bad possession
of my brain. Being a natural me
chanic, he saw the utility of my in
vention at a glance. The subject was
not mentioned on the morrow, which
was a quiet, re9tful day to me. Mrs.
Lee loubed me a clean linen suit be
longing to ber husband, and I went
to church with them, The next day
Mr. Lee went over to II and
made terms with my master, because

me to feel like a runaway. Then Mr.
Lee took me into bis employment

me, "what was be talking about?

tried and tried to make Elija go jnto

Then followed one minute speeches
by tbe score. "Thev kept me three
months when I was sick and borne
less," said one. "I made their bouse
my home for weeks when I was out
of work," said another. Ten home
less workiog girls were married in
their parlor and went out into the
world with their blessing. There
was a great number cf touching little
speeches from those who had receiv
ed flowers and delicacies in illness
and warm garments in time of need.
And so from theiu all fljwed con
tributions of money, the greatest part
ot wtnch was salely placed in bank
for tbe benefit of the Lees when old

''There are some of us so poor that

ITS W1SI AND

Who composed the following de
scription of the Bible we may never
know. It was found in Westminster
Abbey, nameless and dateless ; but,
nevertheless, it is invaluable for its
wise and wholesome counsels to the
erring race of Adam.
A nation would be truly bappy if
it were governed by do other law
than those of this blessed book.
Il contains everything needful to
be known or done.
It gives instruction to a Senate,
authority and direction to s magis
trate. It cautions a witness, required an
impar;ial verdict of a jury, and fur-
'nishes tbe judge with bis sentence.
It sets tbe husband as tbe lord of
the household, and the wife as the
mistress of the table tells him bow
to rule, aod Ler, as well, how to
manage.
It entails honor to parents and en
joins obedience to children.
It prescribes and limits tbe sway
of the sovereign, the rule of the ruler,
and tbe authority of tbe master
commands tbe subject to honor and
servants to obey, and tbe blessing
and protection of tbe Almighty to all
that walk by itt rule.
It gives directions for weddings
and burials.
It promises food and raiment and
limits tbe use of both.
It points out a faithful and eternal
guardian to tbe departure cf husband
and father: tells with whom to
leave his fatherless children, and
whom his widow is to trust, and
promises a father to the former and a
husband to the latter.
In teaches a man to get his bouse
in order, and how to make bis will ;
it appoints dowry for his wife, and
entails the right of the first bora and
showed how tbe young branches shall
be left.
It defends tbe rights of all, and re
veals vengeance to every defaulter,
over-reacber aud trespasser.
It is the first book, th best book.
It contains the choicest matter,
gives the best instruction, affords the
greatest degree of pleasure and satis
faction that we have ever enjoyed.
It contains the best laws and most
profound mysteries tbtt were ever
penned; and it brings tbe very best
comforts to the inquiring and dis
consolate.
It exhibits life ana immortality
from time everlasting, and shows tbe
way to glory,
It is a brief recital cf all to come.
It settles all matters in debate ; re
solves all doubts, and eases the mind
and conscience of all their scruples.
It reveals the onlr living and true
God aud shows the way to Him, and
seta aside all other other gods, and
describes the vanity of tbem, and all
that trust in such ; in short, it ia a
book of lawa to show the right and
wrong; cf wisdom that condemns all
folly and makes tbe foolish wise ; a
book of truth tbat detects all lies and
confronts all errors, and it is a book
of life, that shows the war from
everlasting dea'.h-
It contains the most ancient antiq
n'.es and strange events, wonderful
occurrences, heroic deeds aod unpar
alleled wars.
It describes the celestial, tcrres
ial aud internal worlds, and the ori
gin of tbe angelic myriads, tbe hu
man tribes and the devlish legions.
It will instruct tbe accomplished
mechanic and most profound critic.
It teaches the best rhetorician, and
exercises every power to the most
skillful arithmetician, puzzles tbe
wisest anatomist and exercises tbe
wisest critic.
Il is tbe best covenant that ever
was agreed on the beat deed tbat
ever waa sealed; tbe best evidence
tha; ever waa produced ; tbe best
tbat will ever be signed.
To understand it is to be rise in
deed ; to be ignorant ot it is to be
destitute of true wisdom.

magistrate's best rale, tbe bouse

Dr. KerwiD, the famous Ireland's
Eye murderer, was released from
Spike Island prison, in QaeeBStowa
harbor on Saturday, after 27 years
of incarceration. The murder for
which this man was convicted in
1951, waa one of the most celebrated
criminal case Ireland has ever
known. Dr. Kerwio was a weal'.fcy
i and very distinguished physician ia
I Dublin. During tbe early summer
! of 1355 be visited the island ia the
harbor of Dublin, known aa Ireland's
Eye. Soon after the body of Lis
wif- was found on tbe beach of thi.-
island. Tbis woman bad been stab
bed to death with tbe blade of a
sword cane. The viit of tbe doctor
to the island was readily established,
but tbere was little or no evidence
going to show tbat his wife bad ac
companied bits.
Indeed, tbe evidence throughout
was of a circumstantial nature, aud
tbe efforts put forth by the doctor's
many wealthy friends to save bis

Work is your true remedy. If
misfortune hits yoa hard, you hit
somebody else bard ; pitch into some
thing with a will. There's nothing
like good solid, exhausting work to
cure trouble. If you have met witb
losses.you don't ant to lie a wake aod
think about them. Yoa want sleep,
calm, sound sleep and eat your din
ner with appetite. But you can't un
less yea work. If. yoa say yoa don't
ffs-l like work, and go loafing all day
to tell Tom, Dick and Harry tbe story
of your woes, you'll lie awake and
keep your wife awake by your toss
ing, spoil your temper and your break
fast next morning, and begin to-morrow
feeling tea times worse than yea
do to-day. There are some great
troublos tbat only time can heal, aad
perhaps some that can never be healed
at all; bat all caa be helped by tbe
great panacea, work. Try it, you
who are afllicted. It ia not a patent
medicine It has proved its eflk-iency
since first Adam and Eve left behind
them, with weeping, their beautiful
Eden. It ia an efficient remedy. All
good physicians prescribe it in casea
of mental and moral disease. It
operates kindly as well, leaving no
disagreeable effects, and we assure
yoa that we have taken a large quan
tity of it with most beneficial results.
It will cure more complaints tbaa any
nostrum in the materia weJica, ant
comes nearer to being a "cure all"
than any drug or compound of drug
ia tbe market. And it will not sicken
yoa it yoa do not take sugar coated.

Tbe face must be very broad be

the breadth ia carried all the way up

feeling, the sulky disposition, or the
vicious propensity, that is about to
