Try it. Keep it in the house. You are liable to have a cough at any time, and no other remedy is so effective as this world- renowned prepara- tion. No household, with young children, should be without it. Scores o1 lives are saved every year by its timely use. a, Amanda B. Jenner, Northampton, Mass., writes : " Common gratitude im- pels me to acknowledge the great bene- fits I have derived for my children from the use of Ayer's most excellent Cherry Pectoral. I had lost two dear children from croup and consumption, and had the greatest fear of losing my only re- maimng daughter and son. as they were delicate. Happily, 1 find that by giving thorn Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, on the first symptoms of throat or lung trouble, they are relieved from danger, and are be- coming robust, healthy children." "In the winter of 1885 I took a bad cold which, in spite of every known remedy, grew worse, so that the family phys.c-at, considered me incurable, sup- posii g roe to be in consumption. As a lust resort I tried Ayer's Cherry Pecto- ral, and, :n a short time, the cure was complete. Since then I have never been without this medicine. I am fifty years cf age, weiEn over 180 pounds, and at- triI. to my good health to the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral."—G.W.Youker, Euless, t4. J. "Lars -winter I contracted a severe cold, a 3.0 h by repeated exposure, be- came gquise obstinate. I was much tronoled with hoarseness and bronchial irritation.

( ould we but draw book the curtains That surround each other's lives, Bee the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we should find it better, Purer than we judge we should; We should love each other better If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives, See the good and bad within, Often we should love the sinner All the while we loathe the sin, Could we know the powers working To o'erthrow integrity, " We should judge each other's errors With more patient charity. If we knew the cares and trials, „" Knew the efforts all in vain, 1..nd the bitter. disappointment, Understood the Ions and gain. Would the grim, external roughness Seem, I wonder, just the same? Should we help where now we hinder? Should we pity where we blame? Alil we judge each other harshly, Knowing not life's hidden force; Knowing not the fount of action Is less turbid at its source. Seeing not amid the evil All the golden grains of good; Oh! we'd loye each other better If we only understood. THE AUCTION.

London Christian Commonwealth.) [A little girl was heard to finish her evening prayer with these words: "And I saw a poor little girl on the street to- day, cold and bare footed: but its none of our business, is it, God?"' "None of our business!" wandering and sinful, "All through the streets of the city they go, Hungry and homeless in the wild weather— "None of our business:" Dare we say eo? None of our business!'- Children's wan faces, Haggard and old with their suffering and sin; Hold fast your darlings on tender, warm bosoms, Sorrow without, but the home light within. Our life is an auction, and larger by far Than any of which we are told: A hammer waits over life's goods, once, twice, thrice And at last it comes down with they're sold. There's a mine to be worked, and you gather your tools. To bring forth the glittering gold; You tarry a moment, only once, twice, thrice, And the hammer comes down and you are sold. A battle to be fought, and you marshal your troops To vanquish the enemy bold; Youlpause at the crisis, only once, twice or thrice, The hammer comes down, glory's sold. And so at the finish, as well as the start, You want the crown promised of old; You tarry at midday, at night, once, twice, thrice, And God's hammer comes down, Heaven is sold. Going once, going twice, Going, going, gone; Falls the hammer in a trice, And life's bargain's done.

If fortune with a smiling face Strew rosea on our way, When shall we stoop to pick them up? To -day, my love, today. But''ehould she frown with face of care, And talk of coining sorrow: When shall we grieve—if grieve we must? To -morrow, love, to -morrow. If those who wronged us owned their faults, And kindly pity pray, When shall we listen and forgive? To -day, my love, to -day. But if stern Justice urge rebuke, And warmth from memory borrow, When shall we chide—if chide we dare? To -morrow, love, to -morrow. "None of our business:" On, then, the music; On with the feasting, thongh hearts break forlorn; Somebody's hungry, somebody's freez- ing, Somebody's soul will he lost ere the morn. If those to whom we owe a debt Are harmed unless we pay, When shall we straggle to be just? To -day, my love, to -day. But if our debtor fail our hope And plead'his ruin thorough, When shall we weigh his breach of faith? To -morrow, love, to -morrow. If love, estranged, should once again His genial smile display, When shall we kiss his proffered lips? To -day, my love, to -day. But if he would indulge regret, Or dwell with bygone sorrow, When shall we weep—if weep we must? To -morrow, love, to -morrow. For virtuous acts and harmless joys The minutes will not stay; We've always time to welcome them To -day, my love, to -day. But care, resentment, angry words. And unavailing sorrow Come far too soon, if they appear To -morrow; love, to -morrow.

Three hun- dred and eight girls earned a liv- ing setting type at something like $10 a week, while a few copy holders earn $15 or $18 in the same time,and the girl type -writer is too numerous for calculation as to numbers. Sbe is Sound in every business office, both public and private and earns $15 to $125 a month. Next to the type- writer, clerkships claim the lar - rest number of girls and women, at wages ranging from $5 to $15 a week, and so great is their abil- ity as saleswomen and natural aptitude that they have crowded out the male clerks to a large ex- tent.

Miss Jessie McIntosh, daugh- ter of Judge McQueen McIntosh, of Georgia, about two year ago invented an apparatus for the preservation of fruit during tran- sportation by rail. She sold the patent for a handsome sum, which, by judicious investment has almost trebled itself within the two years. It is said Miss McIntosh, who had a great talent for mechanics, has just perfected another invention more remark- able than her first, but its na- t re is as yet a secret. John Melville. of the Sth con- cession of Clarence, near Ottawa, and John Brown, of Cumberland, on Monday night last,in company with Melville's sore, started out to hunt for bears, which had been destroying their grain. The men separated, and for over two hours, with his gun loaded with two bul- lets, Melville, sr., remained pati- ently on the watch, and last saw some dark object move among the grain. He took good aim and fired. The report was followed by a human shriek. Horrified,he rushed to the spot,and found John Brown bleeding, speeehless and dying, one bullet having penetrat- ed his breast and the other the nock. He expired in 'a few mo- ments. Brown was widely known and highly respected in several of the surrounding townships. or three minutes and them con- tinued : "I didn't use to have so much heart about it, always excusing myself on the plea of duty ; but one night about three years ago something happened which has kept my heart soft ever since. It was on the run out of Buffalo, and when 1 came to take up the fares I came across a woman and child. She •. was pale faced and poorly clad, and she had a world of trou- ble in her face. I. saw that in,, a general way, but it was not my business to pity her. The child with her, a boy of 7 or 8, was ly- ing back on the seat with her old shawl as a pillow. She offered me a full -fare ticket to a point about forty miles below, but I de- manded one for the boy. "Please, sir," she said "we are very poor, and he's only a little chap, and I'm taking him home to die." "That was no excuse, and I plainly told her that she 'must pay for him or ho would have to get off. I thought she was trying to beat his way, but in that I was mistaken. It was a dark and rainy night, and she'd never got ready to leave the train at the next stop if she'd had money to pay for the boy. I felt a bit ashamed when I saw her making ready, and it hurt me to see her lean over her and boy:both cry to- gether,butione of our men had been discharged only the week before for over -looking a one-leggedls3l- dier who only wanted a lift of ten miles." - "And no one offered to pay the boy's fare ?" "For a wonder,no. There was a full crowd. in the cart, but all seemed to look upon the pair with suspicion. 1 hated to put them off, and I was hoping the woman would made one more appeal and give me a show to back water, when the train ran into — and she made ready to get off. The least I could do was to help her with the boy. I picked him up and started to follow her out, but I had scarcely taken notice of his white face and tear -wet cheeks when he uttered a shriek of fear, straightened out in my arms and, next instants knew I helda corpse Yes, sir, the life went out of him in that cry, and the mother turned on me with a look that I shall never forget, and cried: "He's dead! He's dead! And you have killed him I" "Idon't like tolthink of it,"whis- perod the conductor after a long silence. "I had my month's wag- es in my pocket, and I gave her every dollar of it, and the passen- gers raised as much more, and when 1 left her with her dead boy at the next station I had done all I could do, but that didn't clear me. I had been to harsh and cold. She had told me the truth and I had doubted her. She had asked for mercy, and 1 bad ordered her out into the night and storm, with a dying boy in her care. She has never forgiven me, and never will and try as I may 1 can never for- give myself,"—New York Sun. WHY IIE MARRIED THE LAWYER. "How did you come to marry?" The question was asked by an ac- quaintance of a prosperous look- ing man of 40 years of age, who sat near. a window at the Girard yesterday. "Well" he replied, after a little hesitation. "1'11 tell you. At the age of 25 my father died. Being his sole heir, my mother having died previously, I found upon my hande a rolling mill in the middle of the State. I took full charge of the works, but hadn't run them six months when a little orphan boy, employed there was seriously" injured, in fact crippled for life. He was under the legal age, and besides the accident was the result of a gross piece of negligence on the part of my superintendent. The child soon secured friends to help him and they brought suit and obtained a verdict of $25,000 damages. I had retained the best council that 1 could find, but it availed nothing. Of course we appealed, but the Supreme Coui•t only put their seal upon the find- ing of the lower tribunal. One of the particularly curious things about the matter was that the child was represented by a female lawyer, comparatively young and very attractive and entertaining. 'Now the entire plant, mort- gaged as it was, was worth $30, 000, so ;that wb.en judgment had been satisfied and other costs and charges had been paid, 1 found myself' in very tightened ''ircnm- stances. Now comes the curious part of the story. The female lawyer, shortly after the case had Leen finally settled, adopted the boy. Sharp trick, eh? Well, mine was sharper. Six months after I met the lady at a reception. I must confess her charms completely captured me, and I was not long in discovering that I was in love. Certain cil'cumstauces which I need not mention led me to at least hope that my feelings were reciprocated. I lost no time in proposing, and fo my infinite delight was accepted. Wo were married about eighteen months after the trial, and you can rest assured that from the first I was very much attached to our little adopted son," and he looked into the face of his auditors knowingly. The Chicago Herald says of the women in that city alone :'There is one woman blacksmith, who is earning good wages; a life in- surance agent, whose income is, or rather has been, about $150 a month, for she has recently cut short a promising career by mar- rying in the commonplaee, ordin- ary way. Two women dentists are enjoyintr a lucrative practice among women and children. One boat captain, who acquired her natural skill ori Lake Michigan. is now winning her fortune in command of a vessel on the Mis- sissippi. Thirty-seven women have been admitted to the bar, and of these Miss Kato Waugh, who was admitted after a most creditable examination, is enjoy- ing a large and lucrative practice. Miss Kate Kane is a successful attorney whose practice is largely in the criminal courts. She is a graduate of the law department of the University of Michigan, and has practiced her profession both in Milwaukee and in Chicago Where she now resides. Nothing arouses her contempt and scorn so quickly as the dilettante young man lawyer who fears contamin- ation in the tribunal for the con- sideration of criminal cases. Mrs Catherine V. Waite is a represen- tative of a different vocation, employing her legal knowledge in the carrying on of a most profit- able real estate business, by which elle has acquired led 1 noPe rt3 of great value.

To avoid catching cold, many plans have been suggested. Probably if one never went away or did anything out of the usual routine of life, they would be free from the many ailments that flesh is heir to, but this is not a satis- factory solution of the question.

I asked him for the result of his observations. Ile replied : "Women learn quicker than men. They are more in demand than men. They give morejsatis- faction, as a r•ule`illan men. And there is another thing I want to tell you," he said. "A few years ago, when women first began to learn how to operate the typewriter, and began getting work, a cry went up among the men about cheap female labor. "In the last twelve months I have known of a number of eases in which the mon have not only offered to work for less than wo- men, but have undertaren to get plasses by means that were no t creditable.
