“I am glad to see you are pushing 3
SALVA-CEA. It is worthy of it.
After having given it a thorough
trial for over atyear, I am persuaded
that it .comes nearest to being a
“ PANACEA,” a delightful cure-all, of
anything of its kind that I have ever
known. I have come to believe that
you are even modest in your claims of
its excellence. Verily, it is the oil
of gladness.
WM. N. SEARLES."

NIGHT BELL 41 OFFICE,
WYNKEN AND BL‘v’NKEN.
\V‘ynken and Blynken and Ned one night.
Sailed off in a wooden shoe—
‘Sailed on a. river of crystal light
Into a. sea of dew:
“Where are you going an d what do you wish T‘”
The old moon asked the three:
“We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!”
Said Wynken,
Blynken.
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea;
“New cast your nets whenever you wish-—
Never afeared are we!”
SO cried the stars to the fishermen three:
\Vynken,
Blynken,
and Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam,
Then down from the skies came the wooden
shoe,
Bringing the fisherman home:
’Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
As if it could not be,
And some folks thought ’was a dream they’d
dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful see;
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
\Vynken.
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that. sailed the skies
Is a wee onc‘s trundle bed.
So shut your eyes while mother sings
0f wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things,
As you rock in the misty sea.
\Vhen the old shoe rocked the fishermen
three:
VV-YISken.
Blynken,
And Nod.

NEVER DESPAIR!
-—————’-
Who has not heard or read about
London Bridge, that famous thorough-
fare of England’s busiest centre of traf-
fic, of its endless stream of humanity,
constantly passing to and fro in their
daily pursuits, of innumerable tales of
woe, of lives lost, misspent and forlorn,
of tragedies, occurring only to be at
once forgotten and followed by more
startling crimes, the inevitable result
and outcome of everyday life in the
English metropolis.
It was on a dark and foggy evening.
The hour when the tired toilers seek
the comfort of their fireside, when
everybody goes to his home—provided
he has a. home—had come and gone.
Suddenly two pedestrians approaching
from Opposite directions came to a. sud-
den and rather unpleasant collision on
the bridge. One of them, young and
dressed in the height of fashion, had
come from the aristocratic regions of
the West End, while the other,who had
approached from the laboring districts
of Southwark, was much older and was
poorly clad. .
' “Thunder and lightning, sir,” ex-
claimed the younger of the two, “why
could you 'not get out of my way, when
you saw me approach?”
The other, evidentlya laborer, merely
shrugged his shoulders.
“Where were you going post haste?”
continued the first speaker, noticing the
man‘s dejected attitude.
“There!” came the hoarse answer,
pointing down to the river.
“There? Well, my man, our road is
the same. Take me with you i”
The poor laborer cast a surprised look'
at the well- dressed young man.
“You?” he said. “You go down
there? Impossible! What has put
such a dreadful thought into your head?
You look like a rich man; you have
youth besides, consequently you should
be happy.”
“Wrong, my friend, altogether
wrong. Wealth is not always akin to
happiness,” responded the young man.
“Come, rouse yourself, I can see things
also have gone wrong with you, walk
with me a short distance and let me
explain.”
Strange! Here were two persons who
had not even known of each other’s ex-
istence five minutes before, but withal,
they felt themselves drawn toward one
another by that sympathetic flash
which so very often influences our des-
tinies.
They walked side by side while the
rich man poured his heart out to his
poor companion, telling him that he had
led anything but a. happy life, al-
though possessing everything that usu-
ally goes to make life worth living. He
was a bachelor who had inherited great
wealth from his uncle. He had drained
the pleasure cup of all kinds of amuse-
ments, had kept servants, horses and
carriages; numberless friends had con-
gregated at his splendidly furnished
apartments and in his country resi-
dences; he had lived like a. sybarite
and thrown away his money with both
hands, and now he was tired of life,
satiated and blase in spite of his youth.
Melancholy, remorse and misanthropy
troubled him incessantly, and he could
not help repeating to himself that his
life had been an utterly useless 'one.
Therefore he had finally come to the
deliberate conclusion to end his worth-
less existence in the waters of the River
Themes.
The laborer was dumbfounded. Never
in his life had he listened to such a
queer tale.
“How incomprehensible l” he exclaim-
ed. “My life tells exactly the opposite
story. I am very poor, having an ailing
wife and seven children, and, alas, no
food for them; thus far I have honestly
and tirelessly tried to make the two ends
meet—in a manner—by hard work, but
a few days ago I lost my place at the
factory on account of dull times. I can-
not witness the misery at home any
longer; it tears my heart to look at my
starving loved ones; and though my
sufiering wife tries hard to console me
and give me courage, bidding me not to
despair, I see no escape. I have no hope
left and am resolved to put an end to
my miserable existence. May God in
His infinite mercy have pity on my
family 1”
“Poor fellow l” The rich young man’s
countenance was full of deep pity and
unbidden tears gathered in his eyes.
this world who are a great deal more
unhappy than I considered myself to be,
fool that I was,” he reflected. _,
“But cheer up, man, there is“ help in
a case like yours. Come, lead the way,
take me to your house. I guess I can
end your troubles, as far as the—the—
jumping into the Thames is concerned,
I think there is no special hurry about
it, do you?”
A cab soon brought the two former
candidates for destruction to the dirty
narrow lanes of the workingmen’s quar-
ters in Southwark, where it stopped in
front of a tumbled down cottage. Pov-
erty and want stared at them from
every nook and corner as the master of
the house and the young man entered
a small but tidy and scrupulously clean
room. A group of children of a pro-
nounced type had hardly recognized
their father when they ran up to him,
and pitifully begged for bread. Her
eyes, red and swollen from crying, her
body emaciated from want and sick-
ness, the mother painfully tried to rise
from her work, aided by her 17 year old
daughter Mary.
The young man was shocked when'he
beheld this scene of what appeared un-
merited but great misery. But when
his sympathetic and astonished gaze full
of pity had fastened itself upon the face
and figure of the beautiful girl, he gave
a start of genuine surprise. Full of a
generous impulse and quickly resolved,
he grabbed the laborer by the hand, ex-
claiming:
“Cheer up, I shall be back in an hour
or less,” he explained, and left before
the family had time to recover from
their astonishment over the unexpected
visitor.
All the father was able to do in reply
to the many questions of his wife and
children was to console and cheer them
in a. half hearted manner. The poor
man’s sufferings had made him scepti-
cal; he had lost faith in himself and in
others, almost in God.
Suddenly the door opened once more
to admit the man who was uppermost
in their thoughts. Behind him appear-
ed two servants carrying baskets filled
with choice eatables and sundry bottles
which they deposited upon the table and
at once withdrew.
The young man stepped up to the as-
tonished laborer, saying in tremulous
tones:
“My friend, to-night you have saved
my life. Let me offer you and yours a
small token of my gratitude. Do me
the honor to accept what I brought you,
also this sum of money. And now,
cheer up. for you will have no more
worries if I can help it.”
All shed tears of joy. Again and
again they showered blessing and ex-
pressions of their overwhelming grati-
ude upon their noble benefactor; but
when Mary approached him to kiss his
hand for saving her mother, whose life
was fast ebbing away from sheer want
and ailment, he drew back, saying:
“My friend! I have more to tell you.
My name is John Graham, and, as I
have already informed you, I have in-
herited great wealth. But. I have no
peaceful home, my life is not a. regu-
lated one. When an hour ago I left
you I went to the next police station, to
find out all I could about you, also to
your former employer, and to the clergy-
man of this district. I have heard noth-
ing but good spoken of you, especially
so and in the highest degree, of your
daughter Mary, for whom I should like
to care exclusively, if you will let me.’
These gracious words were followed
by silence, unbroken but for the sobbing
of Mary’s mother, who finally remarked
with suppressed tears choking her ut-
terance, that Mary was her sole depend-
ence for the household work. that she
alone cared for the little ones when
their father was away at his work, and
she, the mother, sick in her bed, that
Mary had never worked away from
home, and was hardly in a fit condition
to be employed elsewhere.
“Employment? A position? My dear
madam, you have altogether miscon
strued my meaning. Nothing is further
remOVOd from my thoughts than a de-
sire to see your daughter work for
others. I want her for my own, for
my wife! I could not pay the debt of
gratitude which I owe the family of the
man who preserved my life more ap-
propriately than to henceforth keep
want and distress from their home. And
on the other hand, what better com-
pensation could I ask in return than
the permission that would give me the
right to do so by making your beautiful
daughter my wife, providing she shares
my love and is willing to make me the
happiest of' men!"
Of course, there was no objection,
and a. few weeks later the marriage
took place. TWO men, tired of life,
were fated to become the preservers of
two families who henceforth led a
happy and useful existence.
The young couple founded an asylum
for poor laborers. If you, fair reader,
ever go to London, and while “doing”
the town should have a chance to visit
,this institute, over the main entrance
5 to which is the motto “Never Despair,”
’ you will surely have no difficulty to
recognize the gray-haired superintend-
ent as one of the heroes of this true
tale, the old laborer, and by his side his
now fully recuperated wife, trying to
do all the good in their power to those
in need—From the French.

The Flight of Geese.
Wild geese conduct their migration
in an extremely methodical fashion.
The birds form themselves into lines
shaped like an old-fashioned drag or
barrow. Sometimes there are two
rows, one behind the other. There are
always distinct leaders, but these very
soon tire, and, by careful watching
with a glass, one may see the leaders
drop back and others take their places.
It has beeusuggested that this ar-
rangement is on the principle of a
ticket office window,-and that all of
the genders successively take the
leadership. When weary, they fall
back to the rear and others come up.
If the flock is scattered by shot or
accident they immediately form again.
