"She's going blind, be whisPered, Yes, darling, it is true; These eyes will soon have taken Their last tong look at you. The room is dull and misty; And as I try to gaze There seems to fall between us A thick and cruel haze. I'm going blind, my darling: Alt! soon the day must be When these poor eyes will open, And vainly try to see. Oh, take my hand, my husband, • To lead me to the light, And let your dear face linger The last thing in my sight— That so I may remember, When darkness covers all, 'Twas there I last sow, softly, God's blessed sunshine fall. Cheer up, my dear old sweetheart, And brush away your tears, The look I see to -day, love, Will linger through the years. For when the veil has fallen, To hide you evermore, I want your smile to tight me Along the gloomy shore. I yet can see you,, darling__ Some light there lingers still; The sun is setting slowly Behind the distant hill; Odd fancies crowd about me Now God has let me know My eyes must close forever On all things here below. Though twenty years have vanished It seems but yestere'en Since first you wooed and won me Among the meadows green; Here from our cottage window once could see the spot. Where grew the yellow cow -slip And blue forget-me-not But new a strage mist hovers, And though I strain my eyes, Beyond my yearning glances The dear old meadow lies. want to see it, darling, The meadow by the stream, Where first your loving whisper Fulfilled my girlhood's dream. So take my hand and guide me, And lead me to the air,— I want to see the world, love, That God has made -so fair. I want to see the sunset, . 'And look upon the sky, And bid the sweet, green country A loving, last good-bye ! How swift the sun is setting! It's almost twilight now ; I hear, but cannot see, dear, The birds upon the bough, Is this our little garden? I cannot pierce the gloom, But I can smell the roses— They're coming into bloom. Stoop down and pluck a rosebud— You know my fay'rite tree; My husband's hand will give me The last one I shall see, Ah, Joe, do you remember The dear old happy days— Our love among the roses in summer's golden blaze? I take the rose you [cave me, Its petals damp with dew; I scent its fragrant odor, But scarce can see its hue, In memory of to -night, Joe, When dead I'll keep it still; The rose may fade and wither, Our lave, dear, never will. Quick! quick ! my footsteps falter; Oh, take me in again, I cannot bear the air, Joe, My poor eyes feel the strain. Home, home, and bring my children, And place thorn at my knee, And let me look at them While yet l'ye time to see. Then take them gently from me And let us be atone; My last fond look, dear husband, Must be for you alone. You've been my dear old sweetheart Since we 'were la &I and lad; I've laughed when you were merry And wept when you were sad. , — I want to see you wearing Your old sweet smite tonight; I want to take it with me To make my daekness light- • God bless you,. Joe, for trying— Yes, that's the dear old look ! I'll think of that sweet story When God has closed the book. Joe, fetch me down the picture That hangs beside our bed, - Ah, love, do you remember That day that he lay dead? Our fist born bonny baby! And how we sat and cried And thought our hearts were broken, When our sweet darling died! - I'd like to see the picture Once more, dear,. while I may, Though in my heart it lingers As though 'twere yesterday. Ah! many bairns came after, But none were like to him, Come closer to me, darling, The light is growing dim. Come closer—so—and hold me And press your face to mine; I'm in a land of shadow, Where ne'er a light can shine, But with your arm around me, What danger need I fear ? I'll never need my eyes, Joe, While your strong arm is near. - * Now, be a bravenld darling And promise not to fret ; I saw your face -the last, dear, And now I've no regret. saw your face the last, dear— . God's hand has dealt the blow, My sight went out at sunset A short half hour ago. Now, you must: be my eyesight, Through all the sunless land, And dawn life's hill we'll wander, Like lovers, hand iii hand. Till God shall lift the curtain Beyond these realms of pain: And there, where blind eyes open, rib see.your face again. Gaieties. —" What are you writing such a big hand ,for, Pat ?" " Why, you see, my grandmother, is dafe, and I'm writing a loud letter to her." —" I've run a piece of wood under my fingernail," said an old married man to his wife. "Ah," she answered, "you must have been s-tratching your head." the single young lady works the unmarried minister a pair of slippers she is trying to win his heart by captur- ing his understanding. --7A restaurant keeper—" John, run down to the market and get 10 pounds of sweet potatoes. Hurry up, now, be- cause I want the cook to make a batch of squash pies." —Second husband (to wife)—" Are YOU as fond of me as you were of your first husband, dear ?" Wife—" Yes, indeed and if you were to die, John, I would be just as fond of my third. I am not a woman to marry for anything but love," , - An old Highlander was recently ordered by his physician not to take more than two ounces of spirits daily. lie asked hi § son how much liquor that was- "Sixteen drahms," was the re- ply. "What a good doctor !" said the - Highlander. "Run and tell Donald McTavish and Big John tad cam doon the eight." —h is an unfortunate coincidende that the man who knows exactly how to run - a newspaper is always engaged in some other business. —Things one would rather have left unsaid: He--" What a pretty fan !" She—" Yea; I had it given to me when I first came out !" He—" Really! It has worn well !"—Punch. —There is no end to the funny things that are seen andeheard by the teachers in our public schools. Once a teacher observed a huge blot of ink on a boy's copy book. " What is that ?" '"Sure, I think it a tear, air." . "A tear ?" How could a tear be black ?" " Sure, I think wan n' the colored boys dropped it, sir." —Wife—" My complexion is getting dreadfully florid. Do you think it would be wrong if I were to take arsenic ?" Husband—" Well, I dunno." W ife—" It would give me a fair, pale color, would it not ? ' Husband—",Oh, yes, if you ate enough of it." "Now, I think that was a rare piece of acting," remarked the young man as he came out of the opera house. ", In- deed ! Now, I thought it was particu- larly well done," said the young lady. And then they didn't speak again for two minutes. . =An Irishman entered a hatter's and approaching the counter said he wished to purchase a hat. "What size, sir," asked the assistant. " Begorra, I don't know," said the Hibernian, scratching his head, "but I take noines in boots !" —An unknown man stepped up to the Rev. Mr. Talmage once and said: , "Well, sir, I am an evolutionist, and I want to discuss the question with you. I am also an annihilationist. I believe that when I die that will be the end of me." "Thank God for that !" devoutly ejaculated Mr. Talmage, as he walked off and left the man perfectly dazed. —An Irishman serving in the United States army in Texas, and belonging to the infantry, was in the habit of stand- ing with his toes pointing inward, to remedy which the sergeant continually addressed him while on parade with: " Stick your toes out, Patrick." It took Patrick years to acquire the habit of sticking his toes out. Just about the time he had succeeded he was transfer- red to the cavalry,, where his habit of sticking out his toes interfered much with his usefulness as a horseman. The sergeant was continually calling to him : f' Stick in those toes, Patrick," much to Ms disgust, and he exclaimed with em- phasis, "Divi.! take such a sarvice. For, five years it was nothing but 'stick out your toes, Patrick,' and now it's 'stick in your toes, Patrick.' There is no platin' the blackguards."_ He Wasn't Drunk. "You're a pretty man, you are." " .Wha'z smatter m'dear ?" "Ain't you ashamed to come home reeling drunk?" " W'y, blesh me, m'dear, d'you zhink I'm dr(hic(unk ?" "Of course you're drunk, you brute: You can't walk a step without reeling all over the room." " Tha'z sho, m'dear, but I ain't drunk. Y'see I been down t' th' roller skatin' rink, m'dear, an' I ain't got over the motion yet. Tha'z all." It Was the Mayor. Little Effie, three years old, went to a strange city with her mamma, to visit an uncleiand the next morning was occu- pied in flattening her nose against the window pane and satisfying her child- ish curiosity by gazing at the unusual scenes. "Oh, Auntie! Do see thil awful homely mani" "Hush, Child. That is Mr. Lord, the Mayor. You must not talk that way. He is a very nice man." " Mister Lord ?" and the little nose presses closer against the glass, while Effie watches him clear, out of sight. My !" with a toss of her little head, "I know he never made me !" Catches. What is a button? A small event that is always coming off. Which are the lightest men—Scotch men, Irishmen, or Englishmen? In Ire- land there are men of Cork, in Scotland men of Ayr, but in England on the Thames ,they have lightermen. Why are two young ladies kissing each other like an emblem of Christanity? Because they are doing unto each other as they wauld have men do unto them. Why is a dirty man like flannel? Be- cause he shrinks from washing. What is Invisible blue? A policeman when he is wanted. Why is a patent safety hansom cab a dangerous carriage to drive in? cause the cabman alwayi drives over your head. Why is an ice = cream fiend like a crematory? Because he is a cream ater. Why is a ship load of tea coming from China like two horses in a street car? Next car -go. • Matrimony in India. The first -few days in an Indian home do indeed seem strange to every new- comer from Europe. The extreme pub- licity of life in those large rooms, each having access to the other by many doors, %hich invariably stand open to admit free currents of air, veiled only by heavy purdahs (or curtains), from be- hind which swift, silent, bare-footed attendants suddenly appear and as noiselessly vanish again, like white -robed ghosts. Some one has described an In- dian bedroom as "a section of a street with a bed in it !" an account which I recognized as true to the letter when first awakened at about 5 a. e., before sun-rise—by seeing a couple of bearers bringing in lamps, and a curious - looking Bheestie, or water -carrier, fill- ing my bath from a black buffalo skin; another man bringing hot water, and a fourth with " chota hazeri," or small breakfast of tea and fruit. Such an awakening seemed in truth like a bit of some curious dream of Arabian Nights • how to. proceed with the mys- teries of a morning toilette was really a serious consideration with all these _brown beings flitting about, and always appearing when least expected. Before I was half dressed in came another relay to tuck up the mosquito curtains, and stood salaaming in solemn silence wait- ing for orders, which of course I was unable to give, so could only stare at them admiringly. As there was no lady in the luxurious home of the "merchant prince" who so hospitably welcomed me on my first landing in India, there were no ayalia, or waiting -women, in attendance, which accounted for all these masculine ap- paritions, whereat my English maid was even more bewildered than I was myself, though life on board ship had accustomed us pretty well to sudden in- cursions of stewards and quarter -Masters. Nor was it very long before she, like a good many white women, learned to look on • all men of color as mere lay figures, whose sole purpose in life was to wait her good will and pleasure in all things. The number with whom she very soon contrived to share the charge of my sister's two small children would phzzle most nurses. Not that her at- tendants were limited to brown men. She was a damsel of calm and comely presence, who seemed born for life in the tropics' inasmuch as she grew daily more freshand rosy. Soon her fame went forth, and the notion of allowing such an unappreciated blessing to re- turn to Britain was too much for the many sergeants and clerks and other officials, whose chance of wives depends on waiting on somebody's widow, or marrying a halfcaste, or a soldier's orphan from the Lawrence Asylum. So it came to pass that from distant sta- tions came letters from men well-to-do, stating their exact circumstances, the number of their rupees, various advan- tages in the way of carriages and ser- vants, and the date at which they could take leave of absence and come to fetch her, should she honor them with her hand. I should be afraid to state how many such were kept in play like jug- gler's balls, and how many photographs were sent to and fro. For the credit of the sex, I must add that she refused to leave us till we were safely landed in England, when she returned to marry the poorest of the lot, but one whom she had seen. Some of these matrimonial arrange- ments amused us considerably from -the extreme velocity with which the incon- solable widows of our soldiers find "fresh fields and pastures new ;" a variety, apparently, not always displeasing to these dames. One lady told me how, during her husband's absence with his regiment on service of some danger, she had gone in to see some of their wives, and cheer them up with good accounts ofthe absent. She was much touched by seeing one woman burst into tears, and strove to comfort her by assuring her that indeed there was no further danger, and every reason to hope that a few days would bring back the regi- ment in safety: " Ah, ma'am," exclaim- ed the woman, still sobbing, :"it isn't that troubles me; but you see, ma'am, there's hardly a woman in the regiment as hasn't had two husbands, and many of them three—and most of them's had one sergeant—whereas I've never had but one, and he've been a private all the - time !"—Belgravia. Common Sense in Health Matters. The following list of common mistakes made by thoughtless people is given by the "Health journal : It is a mistake to labor when you' are not in a fit condition to do so. To conclude that the smallest room in the house is large, enough to sleep •in. To think that the more a person eats the healthier and stronger he becomes. To take off proper clothing out of season because you have become heated. Po imagine that if a little work or ex-' ercise is good, violent and prolonged exercise is better. To think that any nostrum or patent medicine is a specific for all diseases flesh is heir -to. To go to bed at midnight and rise at day -break, and imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. To believe that children can do as much as grown people, and that the more hours they study the more they can learn. To eat as if you only had a. minute to finish the meal in, or to eat without appetite, or to continue after it has been satisfied, merely to satisfy the taste. To imagine that whatever remedy causes one to feel immediately better —as alcoholic stimulants—is good for the system Without regard to after effects. Don't Don't snub a boy because he wears shabby clothes. When Edison, the in of the -telephone, first entered Boston, he wore a pair of yellow linen breeches in the depth of winter. Don't snub a boy because his home is plain and unpretending. Abraham Lin- coln's early home was in -a log cabin. Don't snub a boy because of the ignor- ance of his parents. Shakespeare, the world's poet, was the son of a man who was unable to write his own name. Don't snub a boy because he chooses a humble trade. The auther of the "Pil- grim's Progress" was a tinker. "Don't snub a boy because of physical disability. Milton was blind. Don't snub a boy because of dullness in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrated painter and engraver, was a stupid boy at his books. Don't snub -a boy because he stutters. Demosthenes, the greatest orator of Greece, overcame a harsh and stammer– ing voice. , Don't mil) any one. Not alone be- cause, some day, they may far outstrip you in the race of life, but because it is neither kind, nor right, nor Christian. Had Bread in the Oven. There is a man residing in Rondout who is very particular about the daily observance of family worship. His wife is a thoroughly good woman, but her re- ligion is of a practical nature. She thinks there is time for everything— family worship included—but that time, to her way of thinking, is not when a savory breakfast is all ready to be placed on the table. One morning lately when her husband's prayer was longer drawn out than usual, a suspic- ious smell of overdone biscuits was wafted slowly but surely toward her olfactory organs. She wriggled and twisted, and thought of her biscuits, andlat last, when the husband started off afresh on a new tack, to which there seemed no end, she startled the good man by saying: - " Lord ! John, cut it short, I've bread in the oven." Ahead of Policemen. A fifty cent Bible judiciously distrib- uted will beat half a dozen policemen in preventing crime. An evangelical Sab- bath school or church in a destitute por- tion of a city, will prevent more crime than half its police. And so we are glad to learn that the Congregational League of Chicago has just appropriated nine thousand dollars for missionary work among our Bohemian population and to believe that our Presbyterian people will do still better than that.

Because it never fails to remove worms from the system. H. Because of its perfect harmlessness to the constitution _of the smallest or most delicate child. III. Becale of Its economy, as a bottle in the house will save many a doctor's visit. IV. Special. 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. PREPARED ONLY BY J. S. Roberts, CHEMIST- & DRUGGIST, APOTHECARIES' HALL, Cardno's Block, Main Street, Seaforth. Sign of the Big Mortar. THE SEAFORTH WOOLLEN MILLS.

Luurence's Axis Cut Pebbles. The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, via, Pebble and Glass. Call 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 found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness and a pleaaant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L.
