'Idl,ousand. flight hundred and ninety one, in the city of Clinton dwelt cer- tailavglsemen from a farcountryybeyond lobe qeat, Pea. 2, in that year the rulers of the city did .that which was right in their awn _`eyes,, $ Now these wise men assembled themselves together and they said one to another "go to" let us remember our brethern whom we have left be- hind, 4 For behold we are in a far country, Aad, it shall come to pass, that men shall say of us "ye be nameless on the earth, ye have fled from the land of your nativity, because the land of your ,nativity is poor. 5, This thing therefore will we do. 'We will make a great feast, so that the nose of whomsoever smelleth it shall tingle, and we 'will call to mind the ancient days and the mighty deeds of our fathers. V. •So . they appointed a day, and >nany were gathered together, a mixed multitude, from the land of cakes, and of thistles, from the west and from the aior'th and from the Isles of the sea. • 7. And' behold a great feast was prepared and men in white raiment ministered unto them, and a ruler of the 'feast was appointed and set in their midst. 8. And forthwith to each man was given a writing of theood things of the feast, and the writing was in a tongue no man could understand for the language was the language of the Cranpand' which signifeth in the heathen tongue "a frog." 9. And some there were who pre- -tended' to know the writing and the interpretation thereof, but these were hypocrites for they knew but six letters of the writing, and those letters were 11 A. G G I S, and even this much was a great mystery. 10. Arid the dishes no man could number. Thepeople ate mightily as it were for the space of one hour, and no man spake unto his neighbor till his inner man was comforted. 11. And while they ate, behold there drew near three mighty men of valor, clothed in many colored garments, and they bore in their arms musical instru- ments shaped -like unto a beast of prey. 12. And they blew mightily upon what seemed to be the tail thereof, and straightway came thereforth shrieks and sounds, as it were the howling of the damned. 13. And the hearts of the people were comforted, for this is that where- in their great strength lieth. 14. And wine was brought in vessels, but the children of the north would not partake thereof, but quenched their thirst with the dew of the moun- tain, which is called the water of fire. 15. Then spake the wise men of the <congregation unto them, and called to mind the ancient days, and the mighty <deeds of their fathers, and people re- joiced exceedingly, 16. Now it came to pass, when they had eaten and drunken greatly, even. unto the full, that the hinges of their tongues were loosened—yea, even the joints of their knees. 17. And the ruler fled to his house, and a third part of the multitude fol- lowed, and a third part remained, say- ing "we thirst," and a third part rose up to play. 18. And they played after the man- - "" ner of their country, and their move- ments resembled the peregrinations of a,hen upon a griddle when it is hot. Yet they seemed to think it pleasant, for they shouted for joy. 19. Now as for them that were athirst, behold their drinking was steady, but their limbs were not so; yea;: they also shouted for joy, and sang amazingly. 20. And they answered one to an- other, and said, that, notwithstanding the crowing of the cock, or the dawn- ing of the day, they should still par- take of the juice of the barley, so they encouraged one another with these words. 21. Now it came to pass as they sat, one came and said that he had seen a strange, fire in the sky, but what it was he could not tell. 22. And some one said it was the moon, and others said it was the sun; and others said, doth the sun rise in the west? and others said, this is not the west, but the east; and others said, which is it, for we perceive two fires in the sky? 23. And one said "I see nothing"— now the name of that man Blin Foo, he was the son of Fill Foo, and his mother's name. was Hand Foo and his brethren Bang Foo, Sing Foo, Greet Foo and Tam Foo were speechless. 24. Then each man bade his neigh- bor farewell, embracing and vowing eternal friendship. And some were borne home by men in scanty raiment, and others in carriages which jingled as they went, and others drove their own chariots home and some saw many strange sights, for they found grass growing and ditches in the midst of the way when they had not perceived them before. 25. And it came to pass that in the morning many lamented and took no breakfast that day, and the men in pure white and shining raiment brought unto them many cunningly devised drinks—yea"pick-me-ups" for their tongues clove unto the roofs of their mouths, and the spittle on their beards was like unto a small silver coin—yea even a sixpence. 26. But when they thought of the previous day they rejoiced again, for they said, our brethren whom we have left will hear of it at the feast of the new year, and they will remember ns and bless us, and our hearts and hands shall be strengthened for our labors here.

"Would you leave your staff, your blindness, Your eighty years and ten, Your wrinkles and your deafness To be a child again?" With a tearful look of terror At the prospect dark and drear, "Leave the very gate of Heaven, For a second sojourn here? No, my darling!" said she, meekly In her voice a solemn thrill, "Worlds on worlds could never tempt me, Save it were my Master's will." Mary E. Ireland. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. A LITTLE HEROINE. The Children's Penny Dinner Asso- ciation of London is the outgrowth of the desire to meet the wants of thous- ands of children of the world's metro- polis who are absolutely confronted by starvation, and whom want and priva- tion render so impaired in vitality that hundreds die yearly from disease aris- ing from this cause. Tickets are given or sold to the children, and when they present them they are furnished with a good, wholesome dinner. One terribly bleak day last winter, a little half -frozen child )?resented her ticket, value 2 cents, which made her the owner of a seat at the dinner -table. The little one looked famished, weird ; but the plate of appetizing roast mut- ton remained untouched before her. Observing this, a lady went up to her and asked in tones of kindly accent if she could not eat a little. "You look so hungry, dear," she said; "don't you like the roast mutton ?" The little one raised a pair of blue eyes to her face, and said, "Oh, yes, ma'am, but" -- Well, dear, what ?" "But, please, ma'am, the new baby's come, and mother's so dreadfully weak, and I"— The child hesitated, then gathering confidence, from the kindly smile that met her glance, added— "I thought it would do her good." Tears came into the eyes of the kind- hearted woman, to whom the little waif made known her anxiety to pro- vide something for the comfort of her mother, and in less time than it takes to tell it the unselfish child had a pro- mise of a "dinner for mother." But it was not till she had the assurance that she would have some of the feast to carry home that she would begin to eat, though it was evident that she was even then half -famished for the neces- saries of life. sufferers FROM Stomach and Liver derange- ments—Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Sick - Headache, and Constipation—find a safe and certain relief in Ayer's Pills.

" For a number of years I was afflicted with biliousness which almost destroyed my health. I tried various remedies but nothing afforded me any relief until I began to take Ayer's Pills." --G. S.
