The Wingham Times, 1895-10-04, Page 7,411, THE WINGHAM TIME OCTOBER 4 1895. AN OCTOBER BONG, There's a flush on the cheek of the pippin and peach, .And the first glint of gold on the bough of the beech ; The bloom from the stem of the buckwheat is out, And there'll soon be a gap in the burr of the nut, The grape has a gleam like the breast of a dove And the haw is as red as the lips of my heart : While the hue of her eyes the blue gentian doth wear, And the goldenrod glows like the gloss of her hair. Like bubbles of amber the hours float away As I search in my heart for regrets for the aAlas lZ for the spring and the glamour thereof; The autumn has won me, the autumn and love,— CIinton ScoUard in October Ladies' Home Journal< FIRST IMPRESSIONS.. 'The bridge broken? How provok- ing !'' And Barbara Lynn learned from the carriage window to speak to the brown -faced boy who had volunteered the above piece of dis- tasteful information. 'Yes, ma'am ; the freshet carried the timbers clean away, day before yesterday.' 'But how are we to get across ? We are going to visit Miss Stapleton at Stapleton Park.' 'They keep a ferry -man there, ma'am, with a little boat, He'll take you across ; and if you'll drive round. by Uncle Ezra's he'll send your trunks by the mountain road.' 'Very well, driver,follow the boy's directions.' Close under the green sweep of a Clump of water willows lay a little boat fastened by a rope to the up- right post which alone remained of the destroyed bridge, and tenanted by one man in a picturesque straw hat whose broad brim shadowed his face altogether. 'He's reading, I declare, instead of minding his business and looking out for passengers. A literary ferry- man !' sneered Edna Carson. Miss Barbara made no verbal com- ment, but walked resolutely down to the landing, and roused the absorbed boatman from his studies with the point of her parasol. 'Bring your boat around,' she said, .sharply, 'we want to cross the river. Be quick. The boatman pushed back his broad -rimmed straw hat with a look half puzzled, half amused, that made Barbara Lynn turn towards her companion with the petulant words : 'I believe he's an idiot ?' 'Where do you wish to go, ladies ?' asked the man, when they had safe - Remember our old school eompaet, Barbara --you are to captivate Barry !' Barbara did look lovely as she entered the drawing -room, where lights and flowers, and delicious per- fumes made a sort of fairy -land. She was dressed in rose colored tulle caught up with bouquets of moss- rosebuds, and a branch of trailing roses and buds fastened in her glossy brown curls as carelessly as if it had fallen from the vine. Edna was pretty, too, in her white muslin and lilies—but Edna's beauty was to Barbara's as twilight to sunshine— pearl to the imperial diamond. Anna Stapleton's eyes brightened with a sort of admiring pride as she came forward, leaning on a gentleman's arm, to greet her guest. 'Miss Lynn—my brother, Mr. Stapleton !' And Barbara's cheeks blazed into scarlet fire, as in the calm glance of the gentleman bowing before her she recognized the dark blue oyes . that had beamed so quizzically beneath the shadow of the ferryman's straw hat. She was literally struck dumb —she could not have spoken to save her life, but Harry Stapleton was less embarrassed. 'We have met before,' he said, with a half smile. 'It was my first appearance in the role of ferry -man. I hope it gave satisfaction. Every- thing depends on first appearances, you know. Pardon me for not dis- closing my name, but your orders were too imperatively given for me to disobey !' He stopped abruptly, for Barbara, over -come with shame and mortifica- tion, had fainted away in his sister's arms. And then and there ended all her hopes of ever becoming the lady of Stapleton Park. Alas! what radiant visions 'a little mistake' will some- times overthrow. ly bestowed their multifarious flounces upon the seats, not without many complaints at the accommoda- tions. 'To Stapleton Park landing.' • As the oars flashed through the bright, tideless water Edna Carson drew a deep sigh of relief. 'Well, we shall be there soon, I hope. If you had only written, Barbara, Miss Stapleton would have sent some one to meet us—perhaps that astonishing brother of hers.' 'Yes,' said Barbara, curling her lips ; 'and a nice first appearance we should have made, tired and dusty, `with our dresses all crumpled and our hair uncurled ! No—I choose to meet Harry Stapleton en granola toilette, when I do meet him. Everything depends on first impressions, you know.' Edna put up her little hand to hide a yawn. 'And you really mean to captivate him ?' 'I mean to try !' 'How do you know that he'll snake a good husband ?' 'What difference does that make? He's rich !' The boatman stepped ashore, and, doffing his bat, pointed to a superb gray stone mansion whose gables and mullions gleamed through groups of trees just beyond, saying 'There is Stapleton, ladies -you will have no difficulty in finding it.' Barbara tossed a piece of silver to him. 'See that our trunks are sent np as ?rd) soon as they arrive,',she said, loftily. • THE CLERGYMEN AND LAY- MEN UNITE IN THEIR PRAISES OP DR. AGNEW'S CATARRHAL POWDER. 'And now, girls, get ready for dinner as Sean as you. can !' said Miss Stapleton, as she ushered her visitors into a dainty little dressing -room all panelled in oak and gold -green, with the curtains of pale green silk, and mirror's that reached from ceiling to floor. 'I bar', n delightful party of g,ests staying lir re, and 1: want you both to look as lovely as possible. Taking the Bishop of Toronto, Right Rev. A. Sweatman, D. D.,, D. C. L,, three of the leading members of the Faculty of McMaster Hall, and men like the Rev. W. H. Withrow, and others, as representing the Methodist church, all of whom have spoken in high terms of the merits of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, and unite with these the waren endorse- ment of this medicine by the well known Toronto journalist, Mr. W. L. Smith, as representing the laymen and it must be granted that clergy- men and laymen are of one mind touching this truly meritorious medi- cine. The truth is that every one who uses the medicine has a good word to say for it. One short puff of the breath through the blower, supplied with each bottle of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, diffuses this powder over the surface of the nasal passages. Painless and delightful to use. It relieves in 10 minutes and perman- ently cures catarrh, hay fever, colds, headache, sore throat, tonsilitis and deafness. GO cents.

WAS PARADISE AT TIE NORTH POLE 1' MANY GEOLOGISTS CONTEND TIIAT THE GARDEN of EDEN WAS IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS, In an interesting and highly in- structive article, Edward S. Martin, in the October Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the numerous theories ad- vanced by scientists in the endeavor to solve the perplexing problem as to exact location of the site of the Gar- den of Eden. After sifting the theories the writer concludes that the question is no nearer answered' than it was two thousand years ago, and that there are no present in- dications that the matter will ever be definitely anyman. To m y settled by one of the latest and most .ingenious theories Mr, Martin thus refers: The North Pole will seem at first thought to the average investigator the most unlikely site on earth for Paradise to have occupied. Nevertheless several sober and thoughtful books and pamphlets have been written in sup- port of the North Pole's pretensions. The North Pole nowadays is bitter cold, but it has not always been so. Geologists tell us that the earth was excessively hot when it first began its course—much too hot to admit of the presence of any living creatures, except, perhaps, a salamander. As it grew cooler vegetation began on it, and then it began to. be peopled, first with fishes, and then with birds and beasts ; finally with man. The first spot on earth to get cool enough to use was the North Pole. In the process of time it got too cold, but there must have been a long period when the polar region was the most comfortable part of the world. Dur- ing this period, many eminent geologists believe, there existed around the North Pole a continent now submerged, and that on that continent our progenitors were com- fortable in their first home. It is known with entire certainty that the polar region was once warm enough for tropical vegetation to grow there. There was light enough, also, for such vegetation—abundant light, in- deed, for all uses, and plenty for primeval man. Geology tells us that man might have lived at the North Pole. Home-made Chow -chow. — This chow -chow is made of ripe cucum- bers and onions. Use four quarts of ripe cucumbers, peeled, seeded and chopped fine; two quarts of white onions; chopped fine; half a pint of salt, two ounces of white mustard seed, two green peppers and one red pepper, one tablespoonful of black pepper and enough vinegar to cover the mixture. Mix the chopped onions and cucumbers with the salt and put in the press for twenty-four hours. At the end of that time ptit the vegetables in. a bowl and acid the dry ingredients. Mize well and then add the vinegar. A Tiinoly Reminder. Each season forces npon our considera- tion its own peculiar perils of health. The advent of fall finds many reduced in strength and vigor, poorly prepared to continue the business of life. The stomach and bowels, the great highway of animal economy, is ea' ocially Liable to disorder in the fall. Th nervous system has also suffered in th4 struggle. Ty- phoid fever and malar' a in particular find in the fall that combination of earth, air and water *,hat mark this season as especially ddtngeroub, The falling leaves, the Gleea',ging vegetables contribute their share of ontaminatiou. Heod's Sarsaparilla furnishes a most valuable safeguard at these important points, and should be naiad in the fall before serious sickness hogs laid you low.
