Beyond--Beyond.
Beyond this beautiful rippling
stream, just over the grassy
knoll, there blossoms a rare and
richly tinted flower. They tell
us that it is so rarely beautiful
that it may have blushed to life
at the touch of an angel’s kiss,
and caught its rosy flush from a
burning star.
Beyond the pathless mountains
that lift their olue peaks in the
fading distance they tell us there
is a charming valley that drinks
the diamond dew of morning and
bathes in the liquid sunbeams,
clad in a verdure of everlasting
green and dotted all over with
flowers of every hue and shade.
Beyond the blue wave of the
pathless ocean they tell us there
is a clime from which the mellow
sunshine of spring never departs,
that is ladened wi*h the songs of
note and plumage, and peace,
ease and plenty.
Beyond the curtain of darkness
that hangs over the gloomy night
there dwolls a pioture uf morning,
a picture of fresh, new life—that
seems to wake and move and
breathe away the mists and they
tell us its foreground is hope and
its background is pleasure.
Beyond the aches and strug-
gles, the fears, the disappoint-
ments, the bitter trials and the
wearying labors of time we are
taught is an eternity whose
higher possibilities give promises
of calmer hours and sweeter rest.

The papers are having a great
deal to say about the patronage
that goes abroad, chiefly to the
mail order houses. There is a
little different song being sung by
the papers. They have found
that this complaint does not come
to any great extent from the home
merohant or home manufacturer,
who hustles for his trade by
advertising, but from the man
who relies on the fact that he is
ahome man to get business. It
has been found that the home
man who bids for trade half as
earnestly as the foreign man has
no cause for complaint that the
other fellow takes it from him.
The people in this progressive
age are trading with the firms
that seek their business most
earnestly, and the firms that sit
idly by expecting business to
come anyway are doomed to dis-
appointment.—Brown wood Bul-
letin. „
Safeguard the ChMdrtn.
Notwithstanding all that is
done by boards of health and
charitably inclined persons, the
death rate among small ohildren
is very high during the hot
weather of the summer mohths in
the large cities. There is not
probably one case of bowel oom-
plaint in a hundred, however,
that could not be cured by the
timely use of Chamberlain’s
