"Tae Om' Wee Johnnie 10*
BY JOHN LMAIE; TORONTO.
We hae had a happy thne,
Since hams cam Johnnie;
Wr a face like augel sweet,
Stealin` a' oor kisses neat,
Creepin' roun on hauns an' feet,
Was oor wee Johnnie!
Langest day maun hae it close,
Alas! puh Johnnie ;
Death cam in sae grim an' cauld,
Chilrd the lannnie in the fauld,
Teen the young and left the auld,
Pur deid wee Johnnie.
Teen awaa in life's spring-tim e,
Oor wee Johnnie,
3Iither's heart in anguish wild,
Father grudges sair hiachild,
Yet to God baith reconcii'd,
-We'll gang to Johnnie !
Once the light o' oor hoose,
Oor sin wee Johnnie;
Noe the light is taen awe',
Darkness seems to cover a',
Nene can comfort us ava
Bit oor wee Johnnie !
Neath the soughie' willow tree
Lies oor wee Johnnie;
Just beneath a hillock green,
Whaur the daises may be seen,
WI' the buttercups between,
Sleeps oor wee Johnnie.'
Of we shed the bitter tear
For oor wee Johnnie;
Then look wi' faith abune,
Whaur nae sorrow creepeth in,
There, secure free death an' sin,
Bides oor wee Johnnie !

man of 27,whert he came back and found
his elder sister only 18.
A nervous girl' wants to know how
to cure a tickling sensation about the

-A young lady who was recently out
arising became alarmed when the horse
began to kick, and naively requested her
beau to get out and hold the animal's
feet.
-" I say, Bobby," whispered Feather-
ly, "was your sister pleased to learn
that I had called upon her?" Yes, in-
deed, she was," replied Bobby. " When
mother told her that Mr. Featherly had
called while she was out,she said, 'Thank

-"Can't yon give us some war remi-
niscences ?" asked a citizen of an old
fellow in a party of ex -soldiers, telling
stories. " No, I believe not," he an-

been married six months."
-" Do you ever gamble ?" she asked,
its they sat down together,her hand held
in his. He replied, " No ; but, if I
wantedlo do so,now undoubtedly would
be my tinse." "How so ?" " Because
I hold a beautiful hand." The engage-

-Was it worth while for Fred. Ward,
t� steal $13,060,000, only to shovel ashes
and file castings in Sing Sing at last?
This question has a hefty moral signifi-
cance for the young man of the period.
-An Irishman, going down the High
Street of Glasgow, met a person whom
he thought he knew ; but Pat finding his
mistake, "1 beg your pardon," says he,
"I thought it was you, and you thought
it was me, but by SL Patrick it is none
of us.'
-Two knights of the shuttle and their
spouses made up their minds to Walk
down to the "Water Neb," as they
called the port of Renfrew. and go on
hoard the steamer for Arran, to enjoy a
little fresh air. After passing Greenock,
the two lords of creation gravitated to-
wards the steward's cabin, and as they
disappeared below the dock level, one of
them called out to his wife, "Maggie,
jist tand where ye are, and gie us a bit
ea' up when the scenery begins." -,
-The following anecdote is told in
illustration of the Scotch veneration for
the Sabbath. A geologist, while in the
country, and having his pocket -hammer
with him, took it out, and was chipping
the roek by sthe way -side for exa,min-
ation. His Proceedings did not ,este.,ape
the quick eye and feady tongue of an
old Scotch woman. "What Are you
doing there, mun ?" "Don't you see,
I'm -breaking a stone." " Y'are doing
mair than that; y'are breaking the
Sabbath."
-The captain of a schooner, noted for
his parsimony, Was one day waited upon
by his cook, who informed him that the
crew were in a state of dissatisfaction
bordering on mutiny, in consequence of
their being compelled to subsist on such
-
a scanty suppry of provisions. "What !"
thundered the enraged skipper, "have
the ungrateful scoundrels the audacity
to assert that they don't get enough
to eat? Confound their insatiable glut-

Four Reasons Why
ROBERTS'
Pleasant Worm Syrup
HA'S BECOME A HOUSEHOLD
NECESSITY WITH MOTHERS
OF FAMILIES.
I. Because it never fails to remove worms from
the system.
II. Becauee of its perfect harmlessness to the
constitution of the smallest or most delicate
child.
III. Becatise of its economy, as a bottle in the
house will save many a doctor's visit.
IV. Specib.l. Because when administering
medicine to young children pleasantness of taste
should be of an importance, second only to
the efficacy of the preparation, and this syrup is
so made that no child will refuse to take it, so
agreeable and aromatic is its flavor.
Try it and take no other. -

The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and
pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary lelass, speaks for the ignorance of the Public
generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles
l
from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. -Gall glass by any other
name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is
natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald,
and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone,
cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the
centre of the grain feund in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness
and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart, All
Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L. A. C. P., and can only be purchased from
