From the darkness into light;

Fragments of rT v liFokeu hol.lrs,

Never into fruit or flowers.

V(orthy deeds I might have wrought~

To no noble purpose set.

Lay them at the Father's feet;

'Mid the chaff some grains of wheat,

Perfect peace from toil or care?
some sweeter, greater bliss

Still does lowly labor fill
All the measures of my days;
This the treasure thou hast brought,
Prized In every age and clime,
Life no greater boon can crave--
God's most precious gift of Time.
Time to shape my common cares
Into duties high and sweet:
Time to learn that patience smooths
All rough ways for tired f(et;

By the ,wayside, love's small seed,

Every moment a bright flower

RDINARILY th e
fall term of school
in the Brown dis-
trier, would have
closed before the
holidays, but this
year there had
an invasion of measles right in the
le of the term, necessitating a va-
u of two weeks, and Director Hath-
had insisted that the teacher
take up the lost time, much to the dis-
ust ~f the 5"ounger children, who had
arts been deprivers or th -h holidny
ree4om.
:But the teacher had not been in the
~ast incommoded by this prolongation
the term. Iterbert Allen had en-
~yed his first term in aeountry school
'0r some reason, which he bad never
topped to anaylze, there had been a
eeuliar fascination about his work, al-
tough it had been in a sphere of life
~d amidst environments so di~erent
~om what he had dreamed of a y~hr be-
~re. And yet he had unwittingly in-
erred the displeasure "of the school
aard and bad been recently informed
~at his services would not be needed
lager.
And now, on the last afternoon of De-
,tuber, the term was over. The school
~d closed with "exercises" and the
'hole community had turned out to
ear them. The boys had stammered
lrough thcir"pieees "the girls
"essa ~s.'y ,' und the little ones
their
ad gone through their songs and "mo-
exercises" to their own great sattB-
ion and the infinite delight of their
'~miring parents. Director Hathaway
ad Elder Sloane, at the teacher's in-
tation, had talked edifyingly on the
ant ~ges (ff an eddicaiion" and tbe
)er training of the young," and the
:acher had spoken a few words of
Lodest farewell.
At last all was over, the last scholar
~d said good-by to the teacher and
~ne. The young master seated him-
!if at his table and sighed deeply as he
~ked around the now quiet room, es-
~cially as his eyes rested upon the seat
' Helen Hathaway, the charming
~ung daughter of the director.
The schoolhouse, on whose inteldor
was so dl~con
"~ solately gazing as the
.~tting sun shone through its win-
~ws and lighted np the familiar ob-
:ts~the charts and pictures on the
ills, the neatly executed maps and
swings, the tpec!m.~ns of "busy
~rk done by the children, the mottoes
diagrams and quotations on the
.kboardw--had been indeed a pleas-
~t place to Herbert, save for the one
incident. :Many a cheerful
schoolroom can be found in the
districts of the middle westeml
and it is easy to see how an en-
mstaatic, reflnt, 1 young man like Her-
Allen could become attached to
a pleasnnt, intellectual workshop.
It would have been even easier to un-
!rstand his fondness for the spot if
le could have seen the sweet face of
elan Hathaway and noted the deep in-
which she evinced in her algebra
the readinesswhich the
teacher displayed to help her in
pursuit of knowledge. It would
amused a disinterested observer
see the earnest devotion with which
pedagogue and his most advanced
tar delved into the mysteries of
equations and how willing
man appeared to "show" his
and interesting pupil.

bar of Director t[.~thaway and *he two
farmers were lirm friends. So when the
sq~llre's son began to make disparaging
remarks shout the teacher, and the fa-
ther, x~hose faith ~n his only son was
unbounded, had Lecome prejudiced
against the young man, he mentioned
the matter to the direelor and easily
persuaded lhat worthy oflieial, whose
acquail~tancc with the leacher had ex-
tended little farlher than had been in-
cidental to the duly of lnaking a con-

lie is too familiar~ ilh the scholars and
l:asn't enough digniiy to fill sueh a re-
Sl)onsible position."
l)irvelor llathawav was a man of
promptn(ss and decision, whose will
~as law vith the board, so when he
called his colleagues together qnd de-
livered the Ol)inion lhat the teacher was
too yonng" and inexperienced to con-
duct tim winter term, the assessor and
the m(~derator meekly ecquieseed,
though they bolh felt in their hearts
that the young man had performed
his duties well.
So ii, came about during the last, week
of the term thut Mr. Allen had been
given formal notice that his services
would not bc needed any longer, lie
had bven greatly surprised and morti-
fied at lh,is announcement, and his pu-
pils had shown their disapproval of the
board's arbitrary action in a way that
threatened open revolt--all but John
Warren, who could hardly repr*'ss his
exultation at the turn affairs hml taken.
One year before this incident lferbert
Allen h,nd been the favored son of a
rich merchant in an eastern city. Ills
mother had long been in lhe grave and
IIerberL had spent most of his boyhood
days i~x a famous preparatory school.
Just as hc was ready to enter college,
financial disaster came upon his father,
resulting in his ruin and subsequent
death. This sudden blow of fatc left
Iterbert dependent upon his own re-
sources. Young and resolute ill char-
acter, he made bis way to the west and
finally found the congenial work in the
country school which he had pursued
so happily until a cruel fate had again
thrown him npon a selfish world
without the means of employment.
Finally the young ex-teachcr, as he
now felt himself to be, was nroused~
from his reverie by a rap at the door,
and before he could collect his wan-
dering thoughts a curly-pated lad
breathless from running, stumbled in-
to the room with a letter in his hand.
"Say, teacher," said the boy, "I was
down to the 'corners' to get Dad's mail
and Mr. Jones wa.nted me to fetch this

in a SO;hOaX hat eml)arrassed tone. "We

Teacher, we've jest had a board meet-
in'. and we have come to the nnanimous
conclusion to reconsider our former ac-
tion and a k ye to stay thewifftericrm.
As I've been sayin' to Mr. Stevens and
Mr. Simmonm perhaps we was a little
hasty in our course. The teacher has
taught ns a good school, there ain't no
gittin' around it, ~,nd l guess we've been
a little prejudieed. I know my llelen
never took so much interest in her
stndies before. Then another thing
that has convinced ns that we ougq~t to
reconsider our action was the solemn
way i~t which the scholars felt 'bout
your leavin'. There's my daughter, for
instancc, she has been mopin' around
the house ever sence wc sent you notice,
and last night after school thc whole
crowd of scholars came traipsin' down
to my house with a petition askin' ns
to reconsider our vote. So. Mr. Teach-
er, we 1]~tv.~ thought best to yield to all
this preSsUre and ask you to stay. What
is more, we've decided to raise your
wages to $30 a month."
1)uring lifts long speech the~plrits of
the yonng man again rose to an exult-
ant pitch, but he replied in a calm and
dignified tone, which the gathering
darkness helped him to assume:
"Gentlenten, it is indeed gratifying
to me that you have thus vindicated me
from the suspicion of failure in my
work. Bat whether I can accept your
offer at this late day is a qnestion which
i cannot decide without some reflection.
The generosity of 3"our offer to raise my
wages is appreciated, though I shall
decline to accept the increase. I will
carefully consider your kind offer and
leavc my decision with Director Itath-
away to-morrow morning."
The interview was now ended, and the
board solemnly and ~'ith some surpriss
at the independent but perfectly cour-
teous manner of the :~'ou~hful master,
withdrew.
.New Year's morning, as the young
letter for you. lie said it had been'in

"Thank you, Charlfe; my corre-
spondence
is so limited I had forgotten
there was such a thing as a post office,"
and he took the business-like envelope
in his hand and wonderingly tore it
open. It read as follows:
New York, Oct. ~, l$95.--Office of J. W.
Penntman, Attorney and Counselor at Law.
--Mr. H. W. Allen, Oakville Corners, Mich.
My Dear Sir: For the past two months
I have been looking for your address and
have Just this day learned it. I now
hasten to inform you of a very agreeable
turn in your affairs. Vehen your late la-
mented father became involved In financial
dilTlculties one of the largest and most val-
uable of his steamships, the Dolphin,
bound for the East Indies, was reported
lost in a tropical hurricane. Without at-
tempting to Inform you of details, which
I can better explain tn person, I will simply
say that the supposed loss, followed by
Inability to obtain the insurance cams at
a critical time and brought on the failure.
It now transpires that the report was in-
correct. Onlghe 20th of July, only three
weeks after your father's death, the Dol-
phin arrived In this port with an exceed-
ingly valuable cargo. By this unexpected
stroke of fortune you ara again a rich man.
I have very gladly taken charge of your
businese interests, believlnk, sir, that you
would wish me to do so, and shall take
ths liberty to act In this Cal)RClty until I
hear from You,
No doubt you wtll at once communicate
with me, but thinking it might be an so-
commodation to have a little ready cash,
I inclose draft on :New York for $1,000,
subject to your order. Awaiting your fur-
ther instructions, I am your obedient serv-
ant. JOttN W'. PENNIMAN.
lterbert read the welcome news in a
dazed sc~rt of way. He reread it more
carefully, and aa its full import dawned
upon him exultation took the place of
despondency in his bre'ast, tie picked
up the draft with a feeling of elation.
"This is indeed a New Year's gift! This
littIe piece of paper is worth ten times
as much as I have earned this wholc
term. No more need to worry for the
future! The news is too good to be
true. Now I can bid defiance to that
uugust body, the school board of the
Brown district l"
Just then his eye happened to rest
upon some very neat algebraic char-
acters on the blackboard which he had
purposely directed "not to be vrased"
in order to attnnet the wondering a~ten-
tmn of his visitors that afternoon. An
instant change came over his spirits.
"Still I would have enjoyed another
term in this district, It is a shame thar
one's efforts are so little nppreciated !"
The gatheringdusk of a winfer's day
admonished him not to linger further.
and he began to gather up his books
with a oonstantl~ Linking he~rt. Be
teacher repaired to the home of the all-
rector, he felt that he had been doubly
blessed. Yesterday he was but a poor
an'd unappreciated sch~ool-teacher. To-
day he is the possessor of a snug for-
tune and stands vindicated before the
school distrlci! Does the reader won-
der ~-hich thought gave him greal~r
pleasure? And tl~e answer which the
young pedagogue gave to thc director
that morning; if anyone doubts its
character, the joyful smile which lit
up the sweet face of the director's
daughter when she heard it would have
made further questioning uselesa.--D~-

St, Paul, Minn Feb. PAth, 1S9K
Our little boy was afflicted with hip dis-
ease, or bone ulcer, when hc was about
three years old. He suffered severely for
a year and nine months. We had seven
different doctors ~)r him, but they could
not cure him. They took out one piece of
bone about 3~ inches long the shape of a
shoe, and ono smaller piece. The hole in
his hip was about 3 inches deeib, and the
sore kept running all the time. The doc-
tars ordered us to keep the hole filled, with
cotton, saturated with some kind of medi-
cine. This we did, and used a probe to in-
serf thc cotton. We could introduce the
probe about 3~ inches,: and found by mov-
ing the probe about t~mt there was a large
cavity next to the bone, and we could feel
the bone with the probe. The child was
very pale, thin and weak and could not
slee'p, and we had no ltope of his recovery, i
'~im treatment we gave him under th~ doc-
{brs' directions did him no good. We final-
ly commenced using Allen's U]cerlne Salve
and it soundly and permanently cured him
in about six months. He has been well
about tour years and is strong and quite
fleshy, but limps a little on account of one
leg l~elng a little shorter than the other.
He is a picture of healtl~, and runs, scuffles
and pIa~ with other boFs as though noth-
ing h~d been the matter with him. We be-
lieve Ulcerine Salve saved his life.
