the t;ew town is assured, and the pro

of the deceased it was customary to
place a brief inscription reciting some

RESURRECTION.
I placed a teed beneath the dewy mould
And left it there to slumber in its ued ;
The sun a tender light above it shed
And drove away the darkness and the coW.
The days crept by, I saw a leaf unfold.
Another, too, held up its tiny head,
And then a flower by unseen fingers fed
Unclosed a cup that seemed of solid gold,
Without a sound the miracle was wrought.
With ne'er a word the story came to me ;
We, too. at last shall resurrected be
And this poor life to perfectness be brought.
We are the seed that slumbers in the tomb;
The life eternal is the golden bloom .

To the afflicted:
Several years ago I discovered a
slight falling and bleedingof thelower
bowel which increased and became
very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had a somewhat aggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Tiles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di
rected, obtaining thereby some tem
porary relief. Not being satisfied with
such slight relief I cast about for a per
manent cure; when a friend directed
the use of the famous Magnet Pile
Killer. I used it. Immediate relief
from pain followed, and soon a com
plete cure was affected.
Very respectfully,
