THE GOLDEN SIDE.
There is many a rest in the road of life,
If we would only stop to take it ;
And many a tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make it !
To the soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are
bright,
Though the Winter storm prevailetb.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang
low,
And to keep the eye still lifted ;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through
When the ominous donde are lifted ;
There was never a night without a day,
Or an evening without a morning ;
And the darkest hour, the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do God's will with a ready heart
And handl that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
Of our ourioue life asunder
And then blame Heaven for the tangled
ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder.
THE LAND OF PRETTY SOON.
I know a land where the streets are paved
With the things we meant to aohieve,
It is walled with the money we meant to
have saved,
And the pleasures for which we grieve,
The kind words unspoken, the promises
broken,
And many a coveted boon,
Are stowed away .in that land, some.
where-
The land of "pretty soon."
There are uncut jewels of possible fame
Lying about in the duet,
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mould and rust.
And 0, this place, while it seems so near,
Is further away than the moon ;
Though our purpose is fair, yet we never
get there—
To the land of "pretty soon."
The road that leade to that 'flyable land
Is strewn with pitiful wrecks,
And the ships that have sailed for its
shining strand
Bear skeletons on their deeke.
It is further at noon than it was at dawn,
And further at night than at noon ;
0, let us beware of that land down there—
The land of "pretty soon.'
Ab, poet loop Lee, a few days thence,

UNCLE AND NEPHEW.
"Six cents for dinner to enough,
For any man that's' brainy,
Two cents for mush, 6wd conte for milk,
Two cents for miscellany.
Four cents for breakfast, four for tea,
Was all a feller needed ;
'Twee all Jaok wanted and no man
Needs any more than be did.
"Besides," said Jaok, men upend for
Mathes,
And such extravagances,
Good money that should never be
Spent on such foolish fanoies.
An old meal bag for pantaloons,
A bedtiok for a jacket,
And for suspenders a good rope
Will quite stand my raoket.
I live on, seventy cents a week,
Go visiting on Sunday,
And, if they feed me pretty full,
I have enough for Monday.
So fifty dollars in the year
Is all I spend for living,
But put my money in the Bank
And render up thanksgiving."
Jaok died and left his nephew Bill
Nine hundred thousand dollars,
And Bill he spent a thousand quiets
For necktie's and for millers.
He rained his money right and left
On horses, Maude and Jenny,
And one year from his uncle's death
He wasn't worth a penny.

From the Montreal Herald,
The world is full of ohangee. There

of the individual, changes that will oome,
we cannot avert their coming, but we
may parry the unsalutary character of
their tnflueno. Womanhood in its in.
caption is seeoeptible of obanges that de-
mand the most judicious attention and
prudential care to ensure perfect develop.
ment and happy maturity. These
changes are so vital and se subtle in
their character that unless the utmost
vigilance and discrimination is exercised
in the ohoioe and application of reputed
remedies the worst results may accrue.
The constitution may be undermined and
the germs of disease fostered. Vigorous
Life is at the basis of all enjoyment and
success. To be weak is to be miserable.
It is therefore fundamental to every
interest of humanity that life's red, red
stream be kept pure and healthy. Ow-
ing to neglect of these particulars many
young women have allowed life to be-
come a burden and a wearisome round
of duties. Faint and weak very aptly
deeorihes their condition after venturing
to perform some ordinary household

the rejuvenation of these unfortunate
ones ? There is a remedy widely known
and loudly applauded, whose virtues are
proclaimed on the housetops and whisper.

have recommended it and twice ten
thousand daughters praise it. Read
,what one of them has to say. In the
village of Lancaster there lives Mre. A.
J. MacPherson, widow of the late A. J.
MacPherson. She is well and favorably
known in the oommnnity. Some four or
five years. ago Mrs. Maophereon sent her
eldest daughter to New York. While
there she resided with her uncle and at.

years of age. The social life of her
temporary home made rather severede-

she enjoyed a covetable measure of enc.

marked her paleness and logs of color.
She began to feel tired and weak after a
little exercise, such as a short walls.
Mies Macpherson's stay in New York

she ate and slept fairly well. In the
spring of 1803 she came home, and her
mother could not but remark bow ohang.
ed her daughter was—pale and languid
instead of being bright aud ruddy.
Thinking that nourishing food and
perfect quiet, with judicious exercise,
would restore the lost vigor and ruddy
glow, it was participated in to the fullest
extent. For a month this was tried, but

HAPPY IN THE HEART.
b
There was a little Chinese boy
Who sang the livelong day, a
So full of life, so fun of fun,
Whether at work or play,
And yet he was a little slave,
A little Christian, Chinese slave.
His muster said once to his wife ; 1'
"Whatmakee Hop Lee so gay 7"

And happy from his heart will go."
Ham's Pink Pills, Ooutinuing the use
Of the pills the progress of her restoration
wee continuous and complete, and her
improved Iooke were the subject of much
favorable comment for some time. To.
day her health is all that eould be dear•

mother are firm believers in the medical
virtues of Pink Pills and often reaom'

Dr, Williams' .Pink Rills create new
blood, build ,up the nerves, and thus
drive dtemise from the system, In
hundreds of eases they have oared after
all other medicines had failed, thus
establishing the claim that they are a
marvel among the triumphs of modern
medioal science. The genuine Pink
Pills are sold only in boxes, bearing the
