MY OWN SHALT, 'SOME.
Sereue I bold my Laude aur! wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tido, nor sea ;
I rave no morn't;air,st time or fate,
For,1 sn,y tie shell yi,mo to in,.
I stay my !taste, 1 make delays,
For what avails this eager pet e.
I stand amid the sternal ways. .
And what is wine shall know my face.
.Asleep, awake by night or day,
The friemrs I seek are seeking me ;
Nor wind a tt drive my bark astray,
Nor chang) the tide of destiny.
Whet matters if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And gather ap its fruits and tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs on yonder hill;
So flows the good with equal law
Upon the soul of pore delight.
The flower nodding in the wind
Is ready plighted to the bee ;
And maiden, why that look unkiud !
For, to ! thy lover seeth thee.
The stars come nightly in the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea ;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keen my own away from me.
TODAY.
(1 soul, why sittest thou so long
Besiie a dead past, making moan ?
Why wring thy pallid hands and cry
" Too late !" Is not to -day thine own
Thy harvest fields of life are bare,
No wealth of ripened grain thou hast,
Thy careless hands were folded close
Until the sowing time was past.
But glean among another's sheaves,
And starve not for thine early sin ;
A hired hand within his fiells
Another's harvest gathers in.
Too late, indeed, for then to build
The structure of thy visions sweet ;
Yet then, with helpful hands, mayest
strive
Another's labors to complete.
Too late ! Thy myrtle branches He
All withered by the noon -tide's heat ;
Yet thou the net:l)s mayst destroy
Which grow within another's gate.
The golden sun of hope fultilled
•Is hidden from t'ny skies away ;
Yet light sereno and fair still lies
Upon the pathway of to -day.
TO -MORROW.
The future hours? All, no ;
It is the gods' alone!
11 The hours are ringing low
" Farewell" in every tone.
T1, a future ! Think ! Beware 1
Our earthly treasures rare,
Hard won, through toil and care,
Our palaces and lands,
Groat viotories, and all
Possessions, large and email—
But only to us fall,
As birds light on the sand !
THE WICKEDEST PLACE IN
TOWN.
A rather old-fashioned but very
sincere and devout Christian minis-
ter, whose life has been devoted to
ministering to the spiritual wants
of smaller and better communities
than Chicago, recently made Rev.
C. 1VL11Iorton, the evangelist a visit.
He saw a great. many things in the
city, particularly on the Sabbath;
that shocked his sense of propriety
and morality, but he was assured
that all great cities contained large
numbers of godless people, and that
Chicago was no worse than a dozen
other places. east or west of us. He
was too well-bred to question the
word of his host, bat he became
thoroughly convinced that since the
destruction of Sodom the world had
never seen such a wicked city. His
righteous indignation finally reached
the point of explosion when he read
au item in the paper in regard to
the \Vonien' s Exchange. "Is it
true ,that there is a Woman's Ex-
change in Chicago!" he asked of
Mr Morton. That gentle•nan saw
from the excitement of h's guest
that he misapprehended the use of
that worthy institution, but he did
not emit cdive him. "I believe there
is," he replied. "Can it have come
to this in a christian city!" exclaim-
ed the indignant clergyman, "A
public place, openly advertised,
where men change their, wives! .I
tell you that all the imps of bell are
let loose in yore' city.

A WOMAN OF TACT.
The eccentricities of tho country
school 'committeeman' are many,an'd
have often been painted in glowing
colors. The following incident oc-
curred in Connecticut, and may be
added to those already known :--
A rich young woman, tired of the
do-nothing life of a luxurious home,
one winter decided to teach school,
both for the pleasure of doing some-
thing and of earning some money of
her own.
She applied for the position of
teacher in a district school, and her
acceptance depended upon the deci-
sion of one man, who evidently
thought she was too dainty for the
place.
This committeeman said' to her
after•much silent deliberation :—
' I know you've got book-larning
and all that; but have you got grit?
Be you spunky?'
`I be,replied the:applicant, with
fine tact and she gotdthe position.—

If the angel Death should Dome.
And enter lay dour t,)•nigbt,
And, bending abl re my baby,
imnk lute her f es eo bright ;
If lie should prtre his fingers
'hien on ber little breast,
And say to the heart, Be silent,
Fol ever aur' tvet• at fret,
Could 1 kneel den and say,
"Tby will bo done," oh, Lord, alway?
If, when the evening breezes
Sweep oyer the waving wheat,
I knew they had stirred the grasses
That covered my b.by'a feet,
How would their softest music
Lengthen into a moan !
In the twilight a+ it deepened,
How could I Lere alone
Kneel, and truthfully say.
" Thy will ba done,' alway, alway ?
Mothers bereave! to -day,
How can you bear the sight
Of beautiful lips grown pallid;
And cheeks that are waxen white?
How oan you let the fingers
Slip from your loving hold ?
Pow can you see dear baby
Pass from your sheltering fold ?
Can you kneel down and say,
" Thy will be done," today.
I think I could hardly bear
To put my baby away ;
To know that my care was over,
And she only beautiful clay.
Maybe, to the heart so stricken,
Is given a strength divine ;
But often I sit and wonder,
If trials like this were mine,
Would"I have strength Ie say,
" Thy will be done," alway, alway ?
CANADIAN CHEESE
Mr Lathrop, United States Consul
at Bristol, makes the following report
to Washington,which certainly is very
flatering to Uanadaian cheese 'pro-
ducers.
"The import trade of Bristol is
largely made up of provisions. In
this connection I wish to draw spec-
ial attention to the way Canadian
cheese has supplanted the United
States product. The Canadian cheese
is imported each year in increasing
quantities in the Bristol district, and
finds each year increasing foyer, both -
with dealers and consumers. While
the import of all foreign cheeses fell
off in Liverpool in 1886 by 250000
boxes, the import in Bristol from
Montreal increased by12,000 boxes—
total for year 201,003 boxes, and the
receipts from New York fell off con-
siderably. Great Britain manufact-
ures each year 135,000 tons—valued
at about $35,000,000. Now,, the very
prince of English cheese is held to be
Cheddar. made in Somerset, and yet
Canadian cheese made on the Ched-
dar principle has actually, right here
in Somerset, where I write, been sold
for a penny a pound more than cheese
actually made in Cheddar Valley,
There is a- bot contro.vetsy no.w.rag-
ing in the English papers as to tvhset-
her Cheddar cheese is the result' of
particular herbage and pasturage, or
of a particular mode of manipulating
the milk: and 1 think that all Somer-
setshire men are pretty well agreed
that this .toothsome cheese is the re-
sult of superior methods, rather than
special grasses. And the Canadians
have gone on improving until tbey
haye surpassed their' teachers; but
the United States do not appear to
have proportionately advanced, or if
they have they consume their best
makes at home.
ONE OF GOUGH'S STORIES.
I remember a little story of'a house
that fell into a beer vat, poor thing !
and a cat passing by saw the strug-
gling little creature. The mouse said
to the cat,help me out of my difficulty.
If I do I shall eat you. said the cat.
Very well, replied the mouse,I would
rather be eaten by a decent cat than
drowned in such a horrible mess of
stuff as this. .It was a sensible cat,
and said, I certainly shall eat you,and
you must promise lee on your word
of honor that I may do so. Very
well, I will give you the promise; I
promise. So the cat fished the mouse
out; and trusting to the promise, she
dropped it in an instant to clean her
own mouth of the abomination of the
vat, thinking she bad better do so be-
fore she took a decent meal off the
mouse. The mouse instantly darted
away and crept into a hole in the
corner, where the cat could not get
him. But didn't you promise me I
might eat yon? Yes, I did, but don't
you know that when I made that pro-
mise I was in liquor? And how many
promises made in liquor have been
broken ?
One may judge of the enormous traf-
fic between the West and East of the
United States by the following state-
ment of facts at present going the
round of the papers: --During August
last it required, we are told 2,000 cars
to carry California shipments to the
East. The amount carried in pounds
was 40,000,060. And of that enor-
mous quantity, over onirbalf-20;500-
000 pounds—consisted of green, dried
and canned fruits. There were ten
millions of pounds of tea carried, for
the most part imported and tranship-
ped, of course, as well as was the rest
of the forty millions.
GIVE THEM A CHANCE!
That is to say, your lungs. Also
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air -passages but the thous-
ands of little tubes and cavities lead-
ing from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do they cannot
do well•,
Call it cough, croup, pneumonia,
Catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head
and lung obstructions, all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There is
just one sure way to get rid of them.
That is to take Boschee'e German
Syrup, which any druggist will sel'
you at 75 cents a bottle. Even i;
everything else has failed you, yoi
may depend upon this for certain.

beoome sick or diseased; the impure
air will poison the blood; the warmth
will relax the skin, dry it and op-
en the pores,and the slightest theft
will cause a fit of shivering and in-
cuce dangerous colds. It is in pre-
cisely such houses that sole throats,
diptheria, scarlet fever, and other
diseases are so frequent, while in
the house where the windows are
thrown open to the breezes, and the
cold, brisk, pure air is welcomed,
and exercise and health give
warmth, fed by the abundant oxy-
gen of the fresh aircoursing through
the blood, there are health and vigor
and comfort. It is the same in the
dairy. Pleuro -pneumonia invades
those herds which ave kept in close,
warm umwbolesome stables, and
dreaded tuberculosis finds there its
prey; while from the wide airy
stable, well ventilated and filled
with, pure cold air, the well fed cows
will emerge to frolic in the snow,
i and enjoy themselves in the bright
sunshiee and the crisp air, when the
thermometer marks clown nearly to
zero. Except in stormy weather,
the cows should spend at least three
or four hours every day in the yard,
picking some rough feed and getting
water and exercise.—American Ag-

WIt3• This 'aVaste.
sr•.r,r•.t-•rz:n uv TRUE TP)n'En1NC1:.
The traffic in drink wastes men.
Why this waste? If our colts or our
calves fell short of that life and growth
whereby they meet the purposes of their
being in as great degree as do our child-
ren, the newspapers and agricultural
societies would sound an alarm. In-
quiries into causes would be instituted,
investigations of methods of breeding,
feeding and housing would be undertak-
en. Are human beings not nllu•h Lotter
than they ?
If we fail in rearing nlen, we fail in
the ultimate outcome of all onr enter-
prises, for the production of godlike 1nett
is the end of all being and doing in this
world. For men we raise horses and
cattle and grain ; for men we engage in
commence and establish governments.
Al the expensive machinery of material
enterprises, social systems, intellectual
movements, religions schemes, and po-
litical institutions arerendered valueless
if they fail in making men. If the me-
,chineryintercepts. sand preventetha -
snit it is designed to accomplish, it is
worse than useless—it is mischievous..
Does not some of our social Machin.
ery, does not some of our political ma-
chinery, tend to defeat man -making?
Take, for instance, the political sem-
tom of licensing!saloons and authorizing
one class of citizens to indulge a cruel
covetousness in tempting all other classes
to yield to a destructive appetite. IIas
not this method of dealing with a great
evil caused the loss of thousands and
tens of thousands of our mostpromising
men? Is not this a very great leak
through which much immorallife and
character wastes? Does not the. crime
it engenders destroy much life? Does
not the poverty - it produces render so
sterile the soil in which the lives of
thousands are rooted that they can
bring no fruit to perfection? Does not
the ignorance, disease and depravity it
begets cut short: the possibilities.of suc-
cessful living in the cases of all innum-
erable company of our people.
To interpose a plea of taxation as a
reason why we should not reform our
Government at this point, even if it
could be shown that such a reform will
increase taxes, is short-sighted states-
manship. The people are not born for
the uses of Governmentbut Government
is made for the people. If any operation
of Government blights the manhood of
the people it must be reformed at any
cost. We pay all the taxes we do pay
that the crop of men may be of the best
quality, and if to save the fees of saloon
men we permit the continuance of a
system which blights the manhood of
the peoplo,we lose our whole investment
in a vain effort to make a profit out of
sin. And yet .some men making pre-
tenses to broad-mindedness and politi.
cal insight aro proclaiming this folly of
the license system as the perfection of
wisdom.
We have paid ens taxes to secure that
political condition most favorable to
bringing up men. Let ns see to it that
we get what we pay for. 11 we must be
extravagant lot Ile waste our money,but
not our men. Let ns vote for prohibi-
tion,

he spends it so recklessly, buying
