I AM TIRED.’

BY GEO, §. DORR.

Father, I am tired, and I fain would rcs!

My weary head upon Thy breast ;

I fain would feel Thy tender arms entwine This feeble, trembling form of mine.

Fain would I drop my heavy burdens all, And answer, Father, to Thy call :

Fain would I lay my earthly mantle by, Aad take my bebe beyond the sky.

Father, I am tired; I would cease the strife That meets me on my way through life ;

{ would bid farewell to earth’s toil and care, And seek Thy pastures bright and fair.

I’m weary of the days that slowly glide— Weary of floating on Life's tide ; Fain would I pass these dreary waters 0 er And rest me on yon golden shore.

Father, I am tired ! and the way is drear, ('m growing weak, my life is sere ;

My feet are weary with the toilsome road, } fain would drop-my heavy load.

Why do I linger here amid the din

Of worldly life, of grief and sin,

When I so long to reach Thy beautious home, So long to hear Thy bidding, —‘* Come.’,

Father, I am tired, and I see no light

Beam through the darkness of earth’s night ; No light ? Ah yes ! a glorious light 1 see,— The light of Thy dear love for me.

Around my dreary part that tender love Sheds golden glory from above ;

And bids me all my burdens gladly bear, Till Thou my robe and crown prepare.

Father, I am tired ! but Thy love shall give Strength to endure, and so to live

That I can say,—not my will, Lord, but thine, And freely wait Thine own good time. a

Wild Horses in Kansas.

It is 2 well-known fact that from time immemorial herds of wild horses have roamed over the plains of south- western Kansas. Their criginno man knows. It may date back to to the early Spanish conquest of the country. It has been exceedingly difficalt to cap- ture them, the method pursued having been to run down and Jasso them with fleet horses. Latterly, however, it has been found that they can be captured in herds. ‘The method is to get up an outfit of a fast walking team on a wagon carrying provisions and camp supplies, and three or four riding po- nies and as many men. When a herd is found they are kept moving, no effort being made to drive them in any dir- ection. The team and ponies are not driven faster than a walk, and every opportunity is embraced of cutting across to save distance. The wild horses are kept in motion until dark, being given no Opportunity to graze during the day, at night they are too tired to graze, and willliedown’ The pursuers camp, feed their horses from grain which they carry with them, and are up by daylight, have breakfast and start again. This is kept up day after day. Every day takes some of the scare and wild out of them; they be. come accustomed to the men on horse- back and the team, find they are not going to be hurt by them, and tired and leg-weary from constant travel and little feed, in about eight or ten days will allow the men to ride in among them and drive themin any direction. They are then headed for the ranch, and are quite tame and docile by the time they get in. They are of the pony order, such as are used in the cattle business, make good riding po- nies,and when thoroughly broken,good teams for light driving in that country. They sell when broken to ride, at $15

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has Deen caused by outward application as tho present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CApsitcuM PoRovUs PLASTEBS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effeeted by DR. MErLvIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over

to $25 per head, and when broken to drive at from $60 to $70 per span.

A London letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer relates « funny story about an advertisement. While in Paris last summer the writer saw in the hands of a friend a singular pen cont structed in such a way as to prevent the soiling of the fingers by ink. The) friend was a Nebraska man, and on being asked where he secured the pen replied by showing an advertisement from an Omaha stationer who offered them for sale. ‘The correspondent ac- cordingly sent to Omaha for some of the pens, and received them after some delay. The stationer at Omaha had been out of them and had sent to Sioux City for a fresh stock. Subsequently the correspondent found that the pen was an English invention, and at the stationers next door he could have got What he had sent after to Sioux City. But he didn’t know that, till too late, and so deait with the man who adver- tised

It is the liar who wants to knock you: down for doubting his word. The honest man will stop to argue matters. <<>> -

The People Want Proof.

_ There is no medicine prescribed by physi cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as Boscure’s GERMAN Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person icted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior eifect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderfu eures are astonishing everyone that use it. Three doses will relieve any case. Try it.

all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

mR. MELVixn'’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
