ISOCIAL SALAD
I PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
I THE EVENING (’ALL.
I LIVING.
"How to make life worth ’living?”
The question haunts ub every dav ;
it colors the first flush of sunrise,
ft deepens the twilight’s last ray.
There is nothing that brings us a drearier
pain
Than the thought, “We have lived, we are
living in vain.”
We need, each and all, to be needed,
To feel we have something to give
Toward soothing the moan of earth's
hunger;
And we know that then only we live
When we feed one another as we have
been fed
From the hand that gives b dy and spirit
their bread.
Our lives they are well worth the living
' When we lose our small selves in the
whole,
And feel the strong surges of being
Throb through us, one heart and one
soul,
Eternity bears up each honest endeavor .
The life lost for love is life saved forever.

Among the many novels and bocks
I of various descriptions just out, not
I one has excited more comment than
I Alan Dale’s new novel, “His Own Ims
I age.” That Mr. Dale’s book would be
! something quite out ol the ordinary,
was a foregone conclusion among the
many newspaper readers on both sides
of the Atlantic—to whom his caustic
criticisms of plays and players long
since made both bis name ard literary
style familiar. Nor was the conclusion
in any sense a faulty one, for the seek
er after the abnormal in fiction must
need search long and diligently, in or
der to find a story more sensational,
more lurid or more essentially repel
|ant, than that enclosed between the
covers of this daintily presented vol-
I I emu. Mr. Dale, like the fat boy in
Pickwick, “likes to make yer flesh
creep;” and it is but fair to him to say
that bis penchant for imagining hor
rors is equaled only by his skill in
depicting them. A more hoirible
monstrosity than the central figure of
tbs present story was never conceived
1 by Poe ; a gloomier plot or a ghastlier
I dinonement was never portrayed by
I Hugo. The characters in the story
I are not numerous, but they are graph
I ically, if fantastically draw:.—from
■ “Reginald Ilelerick, actor, of carefully
I embroidered reputation, egc-rnanias
I of almost psycological import,” to Mrs.
Landington, the Notting Hill house-
I keeper—“a respectable, black alpaca
■ lady,” who “always wore a cameo
■ brooch, with an extinct busband’s hair
at the back, ami a circle of white juch-
I ing around her neck. Nobody doubted
I her, nobody’ could doubt her. Any
I jury in England would have acquitted
I her of anything on earth, without
I leaving their reals, with the cameo
I brooch and the niching as evidence of
j her virtue.” True, it is a little difficult
to comprehend how the middle-class,
I Pelicia Halstead, “one of those natur«
j ally gray, incomplete creatures, we
■ used to call women before Mme. Sarah
I Grand’s hideous prose declared war
t against Tennyson’s matchless poetry,”
| could ever, even by accident, have
I achieved the marvelous histrionic suc
cess with which ehe is credited ; but
I then, if she had hadn’t achieved it,
I there would have been no apparent
excuse for her existing at al!—and the
I book would never have been written.
I It is h fascinating book, on the whale,
■ for al) its greweomeness ; and however
I strongly we may feel inclined to quar-
I rt| l with Mr Dale for bis lavish use of
Story of a Slave.
Io be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George I). Williams
of Manchester, Mich , tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: “My
wife has been so helpless for five yea’s
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec
tric Bitters, ehe is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own work.”
Thia supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep-
I leseuess, melancholy, headache, back
i ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
I miracle working medicine is a god
! send to weak, sickly, run down people.

I cents. Sold by J. N. Harris A- Son and
