LOVE'S MESSENGERS. ,
The rose shall be my messenger.
The herald of devotion.
Each petal sweet shall be the seat
Of tenderest emotion,
.And In the heart of each fair roan,
Deep hidden in the core,
There rests my soul, my inner self,
To love but you e'ermore.
Each rose will die, each petal fade
And wither fast away.
Each freighted heart that speaks my love
Will languish and decay.
Not so with love -my soul that's hid
Within each rose's corn.
That love wilt breathe and speak and live
Forever, evermore.
'Twill live for you and speak to you
When roses cease to be.
'Twill breathe the rose's fragrance rare
Fur thee, my sweet, for thee)
Then haate, my messengers of love,
Tell her my each emotion.
Oh, petals sweet, at her dear feet
Bespeak my fond devotion!
-William Manley in New York Thnos,
A. NARROW ESCAPE.
'Twas a bright morning in the summer
of 1860, said Captain Handy, that .Jack
Bolles and I, a couple of boys not yet 20
years old, were discharged in Valparaiso
from the whaling bark Golconda of New
Bedford with $110 apiece in gold "con•
dors'in our pockets. All the romance of
whaling in the south seas and its attend-
ant clangors which had filled our imagina-
tions when wo shipped as green hands at
the "ono hundred and nintieth lay," had
been effectually dissipated by the greasy
realities of "blanket and hawse pieces,"
cutting up in tho"blubber room,""down
scraps" and "trying out," supplemented
by a ten hours' pull in the boats every
other day, poor food, and rough, if not
brutal, treatment, from the officers.
So, as wo stood that morning on the
jetty, clinking the Money in our pockets
and watching our old ship disappear in
the offing, wo felt indeed "monarchs of all
wo surveyed."
At last the hull was down, and, turning
away with sighs of relief, wo clattered
onoo more up the ill paved street to the
consul's office, where wo had been paid
off, and inquired of him when wo could
take passage for Janine. Wo learned, much
to our disappointment, that there were no
ships in port bound for the States, nor
would there be any, except an occasional
whaler, for six months to come.
"We must resign ourselves to tho inevi-
table," said .lack, "and the next question
is, Whore aro wo going to stop?"
The consul assured us that an American
named Henderson kept the only decent
place in town outside of the rough sailor
boarding houses and recommended us to
go there. Wo found Henderson a good
fellow, who gave us a largo room with two
beds in it, and after seeing our chests safe-
ly stowed away we strolled out to look at
the town and incidentally to got work.
After walking about the city for an
hour or two we descended to the first or
commercial street to look for work. Be-
ing young, persistent and fairly well edu-
cated, Wo were lucky enough to find em-
ployment with two English firms, branch
houses of Loudon and Liverpool traders.
Next morning wo wont to work, and for n
couple 0f months our lives moved on tran-
10-
111-
qullly enough. In the evenings atter st
per wo smoked our cigarettes and lot
aged with the aid of a little grammar
learn a little Spanish. Occasionally
moonlight nights we walked out throu
the town, but wo never went far, as flu
dersou wan't'ed us that it was 110 1.113001

the outlying parts of the city with h
pockets rifled and n dagger, wound in h
breast,
Ono evening my superintendent diseov-
red that a mistake had been made in the
utward manifest of the ship Lord Palna-
rston, and, noting that she was lying •'r,1'f

)e to board her as soon 00 possible before
he squared away for old England 0111] rec-
ify the error. So without delay I hurried
to the jetty, embarked and in 0 half ho
climbed up the side of tho Palmerston.
Illy business retained 010 longer than I
had anticipated,• and it was fully 3 o'clock
before I stepped to tho side. As the tido
was on the ebb my boatman had to land
o at the nearest point, and I figured that
had about four miles to walk home.
It was moonlight, but here and thero
the dark shadows seemed to invite the as-
sassin, and as I hurried on I cast many an
anxious glance behind rhe. I had reached
the outskirts of the city and was congrat-
ulating myself, when suddenly, from un-
der an overhanging "balcon," a woman
darted forth and clutched my arm, crying
out in piteous accents:
"Por el amor do Dios, Senor Ameri
canol Por el amor do Diosl" (For th
love of God, Senor American!)
"Quo quiero conmigo, senorita?" (What
do you want with me, lady?) I replied as
I stopped under the solitary lamp on the
corner and looked at her more closely.
She was dressed in somber black, and
the mantilla she wore was so drawn over
the face that but one eye was visible. That
single orb, however, ehono with singular
limpidity and beauty.
Sho was evidently greatly excited, and
she went on in her voluble Spanish I
thered from the little I know of the Ian -
age that her father was lying at the
int of death in a house near by and sho
nted mo to go with her to bis assist -
co. Why sho wanted mo to accompany
r I could not understand. Therefore I
:cd her why sho did not appeal to her
0 people.
Sho replied that she and her father were
angors, who had but recently come from
tillage, and that there were so many
',drones," or robbers, among her own
plc that she dared not trust them, and
a still more urgent tone begged me to
with her.
Truly, "he who hesitates is lost," for,
as I thought of Honderson's warning, the
lateness of the hour and the woman's sin-
gular persistence, and faltered, undecided,
sho dropped her mantilla, and in an in-
stant every scruple had vanished. The
light from the moon illumined a face per-
fect in its olassio beauty and as innocent
as that of the Madonna, and as I saw the
girl's tear stained checks (she wits only
about 16) and looked into her beautiful,
imploring eyes I threw caution to the
winds, sailorliko, and motioned her to
lead and I would follow.
A look of joy overspread her fano, and
sho fervently murmured her thanks as she
guided mo up the dark and narrow street,
Koro and there some building was fantas-
Ily silhouetted by the moon, and
ng its grim shadows I fancied 1 could

Governor Johnston of Alabama speaks
enthusiastically of the prospects of his
state. "We are now making steel," be
says, "under $12 a tone, and as Alabama
Is manufacturing iron cheaper than any
place in the world a multiplication of
small industries having iron and steel for
a baste are sure to follow. Alabama has a
liberal and progressive policy toward the
advancement of education. One-third of
tho entire t seene i
pts from tho state taxes are
expended in furthering education. We
have an agricultural college for each con-
gress district, making nine in all. Be-
sides this, we have a state university and
an excellent sohool system in the towns
and counties."

1iIRST MAKE SURE
WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
VERY human scheme is based on some
,heory. Columbus thought he could
reach India by sailing direotly west from
Spain. His theory or belief was wrong.
Id unknown to him a big continent
was squarely in his road. On his return
from Elba, Napoleon fancied he could
whip combined Europe, and as he had
done earlier in his career. He was
mistaken. He reckoned without the
Duke of Wellington, the defection of
several of his old marshals, and the
decay of his own mental and bodily
powers. The Napoleon of Waterloo
was not the Napoleon of Austerlitz.

snots must rest 011 facts -not ou mere
popes or dreams. And this is quite as
true of little things as great ones. Let
me show you how important and prati-
•al this matter is. I want to quote you
the substance of a letter.
"Nearly all my life," says the writer,
"that is, from the time I was nine years
old, I have suffered irons weakness. I
always felt tired, languid, and weary, as
if 1 had not an atom of strength. 'Then
there was also that strange, sinking
feeling of which I have heard of other's
speak. I had scarcely any natural ap-
petite, and my food always distressed
we, giving me a sense of dulness in the
stomach and of pain and weight at the
chest.
"Then 1 began to have a hollow sound-
ing cough and was much troubled with
night sweats. So bad was this that on
some occasions my linen and flannels
would be wet with it. Nothing helped
me, and as time went on I gained no
strength, and all who saw me concluded
I was in a decline. I went to One doc-
tor after another and took many kinds of
medicine without experiencing any
benefit. The doctors called my ail-
ment debility, and ordered cod'liver
oil, but I was unable to take it on ac-
count of its sickening taste.
"In January, lily condition became
very serious, my breathing being so bad
I thought I should suffocate. My
cough was very bad day and night, and
I was constantly shitting up a thick,
tough phlegm. These things looked so
much like the dreadful scourge which
carries off so many in England that my
friends no longer doubted that I also
was about to fall a helpless victim to
it.
"I got but little sleep, and commonly
passed the night propped up in the bed
with pillows. This was because I could
not breathe lying down, I had a dread-
ful pain in both lungs which seemed to
reach the back of my neck, and for
hours at a time I coughed without ceae-
ingr. With all this, as you will suppose,
L wasted rapidly and got so weak 1
could hardly raise my hand to my
mouth.
"Now I come to the eiuglar yet simple
way rn which I was finally cured. One
day my mother, who was nursing me,
would have me try a medicine that, tau
cured her once when she was suffering
from extreme weakness, brought on by
indigestion or dyspepsia. I mean
'Mother Seigel's Syrup. 'Maybe,' she
said, 'you have not got consumption at
all, but only stomach trouble -the seine
thing 1. had. Anyway it will do no
harm to try it on the theory.' So she
got the Syrup, and I began to use it
right away. 1n a week I was better, and
could eat a little without pain, and it
strengthened me. Keeping along with
Mother Seigel's Syrup, and nothing else
my cough abated and ceased, my breath-
ing came to be all right, and I had no
more night sweats. In short, in a few
weeks I was stronger and in better
health then ever before in my life, and
have kept so ever since. (Signed)
(Mrs.) Mary Booth, 54, Poolstock Lane,
Wigan, February 16th, I805."
Now look at it. All this long and
nearly fatal illness might have been
happily ended years before it was, it
everybody had not entertained a mis-
taken theory 08 to its nature. "Debil,
ity,' said the doctors. "Consumption,"
said the the family and friends. And
it was debility, and the lady was con-
suming ; but not with lung disease. Yet
no one saw the truth, or even suspected
it, until the poor woman was well on
her road to the place where pain is over
because life is done. At last an inspir-
ed thought (why not ?) came to the
mother. What's the reason it may not
be indigestion or dyspepsia? she asked
herself. She was right, and you see the
result. Wllat did 1 tell you at tho out-
set? Wrong theory -wrong practice;
and also the other way about, Let's
make a mark on that and not forget
it.
