THE HOMELESS.
God help the homeless! u-nnderers on the earth
For whom no roof inclines its sheltering eaves;
No fireside glows; no voice of love or mirth
Calls to the garden flowers, the hillside sheaves.
Tis theirs to see the gleam in cottage panes;
The happy groups about the hearth at eve;
While they must cross the moors through chilling
rains.
And hide in hut or hedge as twilight wanes.
Without the wind for all their woes to grieve.
Sad hearts! the wayside and the wilderness
Are uear to heaven as any fire lit room!
Despairing Hagar angels stoop to bless:
God talks with Moses in the desert gloom;
And life is but a path to his repose.
Whether we walk through meads of joy and love
Or in lone wastes where every tempest blows;
Some peerless morn we reach our journey's close.
And lo! the rapture of the home above!
—Edna Dean Proctor
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
A Very Rapid Decrease Under Decreas

THE TWO COMMANDERS.
The experience of other nations with
their public debts leads them to doubt
the statements of this country. Most
of them have continually increasing
instead of decreasing national debts.
IIow, then, they ask, can the Uni

deemed it my duty to try it, so I began
its use, and its prompt and radical ef

to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after only a few days’ use of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in my
case were decidedly abated or ceased
In one sense they are undoubtedly , . , ,

Cranl and Lee ut Appomattox—A Strik
ing Contrast.
The contrast between the two comman
ders was very striking, and could not
fail to attract marked attention, as they
sat ten feet apart facing each other.
General Grant, then nearly 43 years of
age, was 5 feet 8 inches in height, with
shoulders slightly stooped. His hair and
full bourd were a nut brown, without a
trace of gray in them. lie had on a
single breasted blouse, made of dark blue
flannel, unbuttoned in front, and show
ing a waistcoat underneath. He wore
an ordinary pair of top boots, with his
trousers inside, and was without spurs.
The boots and portion of bis clothes were
spattered with mud. He had had on a
pair of thread gloves, of a dark yellow-
color, which he had taken off on entering
the room. His felt “sugar loaf” stiff
brimmed hat was thrown on the table
beside him. He bad no sword, and a
pair of shoulder straps was all there was
about him to designate his rank. In
fact, aside from these, his uniform was
that of a private soldier.
Lee, on the other hand, was fully six
feet in height, and quite erect for one of
his age, for he was Grant’s senior by
sixteen years. His hair and full lieard
were a silver gray and quite thick, ex-
•cept that the hair had become a little
thin in front. He wore a new uniform
of Confederate gray, buttoned up to the
throat, and at his side he carried a long
sword of exceedingly fine workmanship,
tiie liilt studded with jewels. It was
said to be the sw-ord which had been pre
sented to him by the state of Virginia.
His top boots were comparatively new,
and seemed to have on them some orna
mental stitching of red silk. Like his
uniform, the}- were singularly clean and
but little travel stained. On the boots
•were handsome spurs with large rowels.
A felt hat, which in color matched pretty
-•closely that of his uniform, and a pair of
'long buckskin gauntlets lay beside him
• on the table.
We asked Col. Marshal afterward bow
it was that both lie and his chief wore
such fine toggery and looked so much as
if they had just turned out to go to
church, while with us our outward garb
scarcely rose to the dignity even of the
“shabby genteel.” He enlightened us
regarding the contrast by explaining that
when their headquarters wagons had
been pressed so closely by our cavalry a
few days before, and it was fouud they
would have to destroy all their baggage
except the clothes they carried on their
backs, each one naturally selected the
newest suit he had. and sought to propi
tiate the gods of destruction by a sacri
fice of his second best.—Gen. Horace
Porter in The Century.
mulated to the great inventors and dis- ^
coverers whose successful efforts have
eased the burdens of labor and made
pleasant the pathways of toil.
A grateful public should also ac
knowledge its indebtedness to those
who have promoted health and happi
ness. The proprietors of Warner’s
safe cure have given to the public a
specific for all kidney disorders, and
the innumerable train of frightful dis
eases that are caused by them. The
late public teacher, Dr. Dio Lewis, who
seldom prescribed medicines of any
sort, gave to this renowned specific his
warm commendation, and said if he
found himself suffering from any kid
ney disorder he should use it. Kidney
disorders are the cause of 93 per cent,
say the proprietors of that remedy, of
all diseases. If you keep the kidneys
in health, you have the greatest assur
ance of freedom from all disease.
Before the discovery of this remedy,
bright’s disease was deemed incurable.
Now the number of victims of the
dread kidney diseases, and all others
caused by such diseases, who are by it
snatched from death constantly in
creases, and as the efficacy of the reme
dy becomes more widely known those
who have reason to be devoutly thank
ful that, this wonderful specific has
been made known to the world, multi
ply with rapidly increasing ratio.j

This was about the first of January,
and since then I have experienced no
recurrence of the malarial symptoms in
any foim. A remedy of such excep
tional virtue for the cure of malaria
ought to be commended and universal
ly made known. I have therefore
urged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom have used it
with like good results in every case, and
it is with the greatest pleasure and sin
cerity that I commend Kaskine to suf

Though wo of the United States have
little to do with the Argentine Republic
nowadays, the pioneers of the prosperity
of that country were citizens of this. In
1820 William Wheelwright, of Pennsyl
vania, was wrecked on the Argentine
coast, and made his way to a small
town called Quilmar, liatless, coatless,
bootless, and starving. He remained in
the placo because he had no means to
pay his passage elsewhere, and forty
years later constructed the first railway
in South America, from Quilmar to
Buenos Ayres. He built the first rail
way in Chili also, and is founder of the
