N OLD SONG. When gi'ants lived in ancient times, Sing heigh, my boys, sing ho! In good old England, er foreign climes, Sing heigh, my boy, sing ho! They carried things with a high old hand. Nor strong, nor weak, could before them stand, And they killed whom they pleased throughout the lend, ..1.'„e2:es Sing heigh, my boys, Bing hof But the giants didn't have things their own way when dank -the -Giant -killer arriv- ed on the scene. You remember the story. Recollect, too, that every age has its giant - killer. We have our giants in the form of all sorts of dread diseases, supposed to be incurable. Oar Jack is in the form of Dr, Pierce, who has proven the expression "in. curable diseases" to be a fallacy. Can you imagine more potent weapons to assist a woman in killing the giant -disease, than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription? It's the only guaranteed remedy for all func- tional disturbances, painful disorders, and chronic weakness of womanhood. In fe- male complaints of every kind, if it ever fails to benefit or -cure, you have ' your money back. It's simply a question.. of the company you prefer—the Giant or Jack! A Typewriter Girl. There was weepik'g and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the St, Clair household, Caroline, the youngest daughter',had decided to carve her own fortunes, as those of the family were getting ilia most entangled condition, and "unbe- knownst" to her worthy relatives had sought and secured a position as type- writer in one of the big, wicked Chi- cago's well known business houses. 'It's a disgrace to the family," Bro- ther Bob declared, and he donned his overcoat and repaired to the clubhouse around the corner. Mamma wept loudly; papa fumed faintly. "John Vandergast, "moaned mamma, "He will never look at you again. A daughter of mine a typewriter." Caroline's short upper lip curled slightly more than already curled by nature, although an apprehensive look did come into her great hazel eyes. rtlf you think, my dearest mother, that I am going to starve here in this remote quarter of the woods, even in the most genteel style, just for a look from Mr Vandergast, you are vastly mistaken." "There are other employments for a woman—such a public position, And typewriters are always so—so-talked about." "In the newspapers," added Caro- line. "But to one will ever talk about me,"(she finished, with stern bravery. Before it was time for Caroline to leave for the distant city, her father 1 had altogether ceased his fuming and was considering the advantages of his daughter's assistance. Of late years the struggle had been a hard one for him. His wife had always been a society woman and extravagant; in- dulged sons and fashionable daughters whose marriages had cost him a small fortune, had so reduced the estate made in his prime that now, in his old age, bankruptcy constantly stared him in the face. "I regret, daughter," he said as the train whistled and they were out on the station platform. "that you are go- ing so far from home. But I know how you would feel to begin labor here, and I fully appreciate your ef- forts in assisting me. The burden is growing heavier with every year," and he signed. "Somebody has to do someting," re- turned the daughter sententiously. "And I know you are fully capable of taking care of yourself. God bless you, my girl." And the careworn father was proud- er of his typewriter girl than of his wealthiest and most beautiful daugh- ter. But once on the car, and steaming Chicagoward, Caroline was not quite so brave, and despite her tall, dignified self, one or two tears rolled down her aristocratic nose and defied the super- ior little curl of her short upper Hp. What if John Vandergast—they had been such friends before he left for Europe and although Caroline had not given her promise, for she was not sure of herself, she had consented speak With him again upon the subje.,; when he Would return, Now she was sure of herself ---b .,John! • "It is one more test," she said ate - ly to herself as she brushed away t,'_3 impertinent tears, "and a good one 1. am 86 glad I defied inatntntl; and t the btlsine.s coarse at college." In the excitement of • her new Caroline forgot her little thoughts t 'night have been red centime She;passed'the of 4eg; of critical ex illation b .thhe .other e�vritei's in t office- with supreme indifference and h impressed her employers with her d nity that they wen half afraid of h As a typewriter she was in'valuabl rapid, correct, distinct, her every sh perfection itself, but there was no mai intercourse or pleasant conve tion, "That gfl i," declared. the junior pa nen, "actually scares me. She's t pretty to he such a prude." "Yes—es," drawled the senior, that afternoon the venerable gent man asked herr how she spent her e enings. "'Sir!" enquired Caroline. "You—excuse me, but you are you and not homely, and you will pard an old man if he takes an interest your welfare in this great city." "Ah, yes!" Caroline drew a long, e pressive breath, and a close obsery would have said her nostrils dilat somethinglike those of a high stru horse, "Sunday evening I attend se vices at St. James; Monday* evening devote to literature, Emerson, Carty and Renan being m favorite author Tuesday evening 1 attend the mu cells, and Wednesday evening I atten prayers; Thursday evening I again d vote to reading; Friday evening I a tend the opera or concert, and Satu day evening I give to preparations f the Sabbath," Then she turned to her Remingto and the"old gentleman groaned in a aside. • Caroline was flushed and wrathful. "The old sinner!" she was fuming herself as she took his dictation i shorthand. "As though he thought could not understand." Caroline was past twenty and co sidered capable of taking care of he self, yet she felt as injured and insul ed as though the white-haired ma had ogled her as he did the younge and most flippant girl in the house. But Caroline did not wish to lose he position, for it was an unusually pay ing one, and it began to be an effor to her to repel the insinuation of th senior partner veithout offending hin Soon she detested him most heartily. One morning the junior partne carne in very much flurried. "Vandergast is in town," he said. And despite herself Caroline reddened and th :n grew pale. "Hey? You don't say! Well, that's deucedly inconvenient just now." "He will be looking into accounts and we are not prepared foto that at present," said the youth significantly. "No," mused the other, and then they held a lengthy consultation r]ur- ing which Caroline was on the qui vire to catch every word. But they spoke guardedly, for all that her outward appearance was ore of such indifference. Evidently it was of enough importance to not trust her fully. "Yes," said the senior at last, "that will be the best plan. We will secure the bonds at the bank to put a good face on things, and then be will not be likely to look deeper until after the crisis. It would ruin us for him to withdraw his share now." Alt this was Greek to Carol;ne until she remembered several communica- tions she had taken which were in re- gard to speculaticns, end then it was. clear to her. The junior partner went at once to the bank, and the old gen- tleman seemed somewhat worried. Caroline gave no sign, but she made a resolution, and when three o'clock, hour for quitting work, carne, she said calmly; "I believe I must sever my connec- tion with this office to -day. I wish to return home." "Ah—ahem! Do I understand you mean to quit us at once." "Yes. I wish to return, house to- morrow morning," she returned iin- peturably, "This is rather sudden. Indeed, I do not see how I can let you go at once." But you must, sir!" said Caroline with decision. So he made out her check and bade her a suave good-bye, and a few min- utes later found her in the hotel wait- ing for John Vandergast. Whether it was her John or some other Vandergast, she had determined to warn him and then go home for a vacation until she secured another position. And when she looked on the hotel register she knew it was herJohn. "'Why, Caroline." he said, when he came; in, his face lighting,up. "This is a most unexpected honor. I was hurrying business matters so as to get home to -morrow to see you." He shook her hand warmly and look- ed closely into her face to see if he might venture any further greeting. No one would beat to take even a lover's liberty with Caroline. "You have made my stay a long one and a tedious one to me by denying me the privilege of writing to you, he said in reproach. "Yes, I know, John,' she rejoined hastily, for she was afraid her blushes might encourage an embrace, "but you know I am a typewriter now, or was an hour ago." And she looked at him defiantly. He laughed. "I nnderstood in one of my letter from home that you had accepted some position here in the city, but I could not learn where or what it was. I am sure you are the same if not more to me for that. Typewriters are a fine set of girls." An unmistakable satisfaction came into Caroline's face. "I am—so glad you do not think less of me than you did," she said, under her breath. Then she recollected her errand. She told him what she knew, and he listened with a grave face. "I am glad you told me. It is pro- vidential you were employed there. So they are speculating, and from what you tell me my thousands would have been higher than the moon by day after to -morrow. I will withdraw them for you, my queen, this very da_y " Then as there was not a minute to lose, Caroline bade him good-bye and hurried to her boarding-house. The next morning she was homeward bound, John Vandergast's promised bride. Several months later there was a quiet wedding in the St. Clair home- stead, and the typewriter daughter was the highest honored the worldly mother had.

She was going out to visit friends and would not be back till ev- ening.

He at once called medical assistance and the usual reme- dies were applied, not, however, with success, the woman dying at a few minutes after ten o'clock without hav- ing recovered consciousness. She left a.note on the dressing table addressed to her husband, saying she intended putting an end to her life for private reasons, and asking him to keep it from the public if possible.

If we would overcome the laws of nature we must not resist, we must balance them against one another. There is nothing ignominious about poverty. It tray even serve as 11 healthy stimulus to great spirits. , It is not in our open exposed deeds that we need the still voice of the„sil- ent monitor, but in the small secret every -day acts of life. If we could read the secret history of. our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. There is less misery in being cheated than in that kind of wisdom which per- ceives, or thinks it perceives, that all mankind are cheats. A face which is always serene pos- sesses a mysterious and powerful at- traction; sad hearts come to it as to sun to warm themselves again. i Work paves the only way leading to knowledge. The way is a long one, and the difficulties in it are many, 'but step by step it can be traversed, if la- bor be the guide. You must not only work, but you must order your work with intelli- gence; you must be preparing the way for what you want to become, as well as do what lies to your hand. We may divide thinkers into those who think for themselves and those who think through others; the latter are the rule, the former the exception. Only the light which we have kindled in ourselves can illuminate others. The man is poor indeed who cannot in some way help his neighbor, if only by words of sympathy; and unless he has the disposition to this when he is poor, there is little liklihood that the possession of riches will transform his nature. He who makes a baseless insinuation against a neighbor's integrity or honor is guilty of an injustice which is atro- cious and monstrous, in comparison with the petty depredation of the despicable thief who breaks into his granary and surreptitiously carries away his corn. The chief office of silence is to bury all that is evil. and the chief office of speech is to disclose and disseminate all that is good. Let this be done with sincerity and earnestness, and let no criticism discourage it, for its ultimate benefit to character and to conduct is established beyond a doubt.
