TWO SURPRISES.
A workman plied his clumsy spade
As the sun was going down;
The German King, with his cavalcade,
On his Way to Berlin Town,
Reined up his steed at the old man’s side.
“My toiling friend,” said he,
“Why not cease work at eventide
When the laborer should be free!”
“I do not slave,” the old man said,
“And I am always free.
Though I work from the time I leave my bed
T ’11 can hardly see.”
“How much,” said the King, “is thy gain in
a day!”
“Eight groschen,” the man replied.
“And thou canst live on this meagre pay?”
“Like a King,” he said with pride.
“Two groschen for me and my wife, good
friend,
And two for a debt I owe;
Two groschen to lend, and two to spend,
For those who can’t labor, you know.”
“Thy debt!” said the King; said the toiler,
“Yes.
To my mother with age oppressed,
Who cared for me, toiled for me, many a day,
And now hath need of rest.”
“To whom dost lend of their daily store?”
“To my boys—for their schooling; you see,
When 1 am too feeble to toil any more,
They will care for their mother and me.”
“And thy last two groschen!” the monarch
said.
“My sisters are old and lame;
I give them two groschen for raiment and
bread,
All in the Father's name.”
Tears welled up in the good King’s eyes,
“Thou knowest me not,” said he;
“As thou hast given me one surprise,
Here is another for thee.
“I am thy King, give me thy hand”
And he heaped it high with gold—
“When more thou noedest, 1 comraanu
That I at onee be told.
“For I would bless with rich reward
The man who can proudly say
That eight souls doth he keep and guard
On eight poor groschen a day.”

dismisses his doctor, but too late! His
fortune has all gone in fees.
But him, what becomes of him ?
The other day a well known Wall Street
banker said to me: “It is really astonishing
how prevalent bright’s disease is becoming.
Two of my personal friends are now dying of
it. But it is not incurable, I am certain,
for my nephew was recently cured when his
physicians said recovery was impossible.
The case seems to me to be a wonderful one. ”
This gentleman formerly represented his gov¬
ernment in a fore gn country. He knows,
appreciates and declares the value of that
preparation, because his nephew, who is a son
of Danish Vice-Consul Schmidt, was pro
nouueed incurable when the remedy, War
ner’s Safe Cure, was begun. ‘ Yes,” said his
father, “I was very skeptical, but since tak¬
ing that remedy the boy is well.”
1 happen to know what it was that cured
the boy, for Genl. Christiansen, of Drexel,
Morgan ‘wonderful & Co.’s., told me that it was that
Well, remedy, Warner's safe cure.’
I suspect the hero of the book cured
himself by the same means.
I cannot close my notice better than by
quoting “ If, the friend, author’s advice: have experi¬
my you such as
ence as I have portrayed, do not put your
trust in physicians to the exclusion of other
remedical agencies. They have no monop¬
oly over disease and I personally know that
many of them would far prefer that their
patients should go to Heaven direct from
their powerless hands than that they should
be saved to earth by the use of any “ un¬
authorized means.”
Driven from Home.
Tho Hebrews of New York city, who
are rapidly increasing in number, are
looking for an unusually large immigra¬
tion this year from Russia. The Czar’s
government is very severe upon his He¬
brew subjects, who cau reside only in
certain localities, and are kept under
many disabilities; and, since many of
them have found homes in this country,
thousands of others are desirous of join¬
ing them. A dispatch from Odessa,
contained official announcement that 10,
000 Hebrew families were to be expelled
from that city, and many of those who
can procure the necessary means are ex¬
pected to take passage for New York.
Tixe members of the Women’s Chris¬
tian Temperance Union propose to erect
a building at Chicago, Ill., which will
be the headquarters of the organization
for the United States. It will cost about
$800,000.

Cold Weather Benevolence.
Why is cold weather productive of benevo¬
lence? It makes people put their hands in their
pockets. It also produces coughs, colds and
croup. Take Taylor’s Cherokee Remedy of
Sweet Gum and Mullein.
Lively Response.
The best known of the cf nnibal tribes
on the Upper CoDgo are the Bangala,
who yelled “meat” very loudly when
they chased Stanley down the river, but
who have conceived the idea that their
recent intercourse with the whites has
given them considerable polish and lifted
them several points higher in the social
scale than the neighboring tribes. For
two years past they have been utilized as
Congo state soldiers, steamboat hands and
station laborers. They dress in Man¬
chester cottons, carrying guns and have
acquired a smattering of the French lan¬
guage. nibal They used to make war for can¬
purposes upon the people of
Ngombe, and nowadays when a steam¬
boat draws up at Ngombe with a lot of
Bangala on board the people flock down
to the river and heap abuse upon the an¬
cient enemy with all the epithets at their
command. To this torrent of Congo
Billingsgate the Bangala have only one

and shout, “Savages! savages 1”
