The Stocking Basket
(This pretty and popular poem is publish-
ed by request..).'
Cosily throe'd In her cushioned chair,
A mother reclined from toil and care,
-
Except the darning of a stocking,
And her chair's perpetual rockin,.
I thought I had somewhere seen it styled
The plague of life, such a ba-ket piled
With tiresome, everlaeting stitching,
With work so very unbewitehing,
And as she broke -the thread ander;
Wearing in and out, over and under,
wisheti the rents in human life
Cauld be mended withas little strife.
She tookin her hand a tiny thing, .
All striped with a white and scarlet ring,
And smiled Aft she thought of the silken hair
And laughing er s of her darling fair ;
Of the rem lips and dainty hands, •
The pleasing cries and loud demands.
She eighed as She thought of the world untried,
And up end down her needle plied.
She kne* it said, oh, blessed are such !
And etrolted hor work with a tender touch,
Softly folded and laid it away,
As the little feet in slumber lay.
But en the next a tear -drop lingers :
The !nether wrought with trembling fingers,
And sadly bowed with an anxion 3 face,
Appealing on high for strength and grace
To guidethe steps of her wayward
To bless and protect her erring one.
Nor suffer the wandering feet to roam
Forth from the lave of his early home;
To shield, him from the glittering net
The tempter costly jewels hadaet ;
To save him from the sparkling bowl,
And ell -the dangers that sear the soul.
As on the third her looks were bent,
The face wore a emile of sweet content,
For the fair-haired girl whose gentle ways
Were extolled by all with voice of praise;
For her saushine ever glowed.
And froni her lips rare music flowed;
With graceful carriage and modest mien
She moved -through life like a f eir young queen,
The mother said with a fervent prayer,
May HeaVen shield her from hello and care,
From cruel want, and the stings that aniert,
From the hruises of a blighted heart.
The next rerc those whose, teethed trod
For mai:mummers the earth' e green- sod,
And the storme of many winters felt,
In joys heia smiled. and in sorrows knelt.
No clond e0 dark, but the glimmering hue
Of the euttrise ever strugeled through ;
lso &maw deep, faith could not brighten
No toil so herd, love cauld net lighten.
The last NI, One Who was passing down
To her narrow home with a silver crown
Of wondrons luster, that seemed to shed
A liaht of glory round her head,
Pencefullessinking.in quiet ran
Awaiting those of the truly blest ;
For her she plead the right to share
AU tender aid and watchful care.
And thus the stockings all were mended;
With each5stitch a thought was blended ;
With ev:ry thread for futiare wear,
The weaving in of a anent prayer.
The FUture of the Horse Trade.
A gentleman who has paid very close at-
tention tn the horse trade both in this and
other cotintries, for many years, makes the
follo-wing remarks on the present condition
and future prospects of the trade :
The 014 Scotchman who declared that
nobody eould expect to • be eloquent or
entertaining as long as he drank only lemon-
ade might also have added that to interest
people inhorses would require on the part
of the reader at any rate a financial stimu-
lant 'which in these degenerate latter days
is only conspicuous by its absence. Never
in the meniory of " the oldest inhabitant "
has there been such a depression, such
glut, -such a universal apathetic sentiMent
in regard o the breeding of all kinds -of
horses. And yet within a few years -pos-
sibly before the end of next year -people
will wonder why they mild have beenso fool-
ish and shirt sighted as to havefollowed blind-
folded the common herd and left off breed-
ing simply because pries had fallen below
the cost of production. The two principal
causes of the present great depression are,
in my opinion, the vast overproduction of
common or inferior horses and the sympa-
thetic effect caused by the -universal de-
pression from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Another cause might be added -the substi-
tutionof electricity for horse power, and
the belief that this may be very greatly ex-
tended in the immediate future. Now are
those three causes temporary or permanent?
Electricity will doubtless take the place
from year to year of an 'increasing, number
of the class of 'horses suitable for street car
work. This is inevitable, but will the
teaming work of the cities, the heavy haul-
ing in the pineries, the work presently done
by express companies, the ordinary i•oad
work in city or country, or on the farm, will
the horses presently used for such work be
largely or even to any appreciable extent
substituted by electricity or any other mo-
tive power ? It seems incredible. Then,
with regard to horses used principally for
pleasure -ladies' and gentlemen's riding and
driving' horses and all the various styles of
carriage horses, trotting horses and running
horses -no substitution is possible. It is
the inherent love of horses or sport or style
that will always preserve whet may be call-
ed pleasure horses from the inroads of any
mechanieal force. The general depression
in business is not permanent. No sane man
believes it to be -permanent, but with the
first genuinesymptoms of -revival the horse
„business will rally in sympathy with other
branches of business. We have been going
too fast ; a bolt and a slower pace has been
ordered by the laws of nature. The other
cause of depression-overproduction-ehas
already effected its own cure. The breeding,
of thousands and tens of thousands of worth-
less horses, from the broncho up to the trot-
ter that cannot trot, or even the inferior
draft horse, was only continued so long as
there 'appeared to be a profit in the busi-
ness. Since the tide turned this is mostly

stopped, and will so remain until the next
boom is sounded affew years hence. In the
meantime all intelligent horse breeders,
whether of &aft or coach or trotting or run-
ning horses, will do well to " stick to the
ship" if they possibly can. The oetlook
ahead is every whit as bright as the experie
ence of the last year or two has been gloomy
and disastrous,

(ALWAYS READY.)

(ALWAYS FAITHFUL.)
TWO GRAND INSCRIPTIONS.
APplicable Only to Paine's
Celeiy Compound.
The Great Medicine That
Makes People Well.
Always ready ! Always faithful ! What
arand words of comfort and cheer to sad
and despondent hearts.
IATe know that there ' are thousands who
need the comforting and blessed assurance
that there is a medicine ready for all troub-
les and emergencies, faithful in its workings,
and honest in results.
Paine's Celery Compound is the only medi-
cine in the world that can truly and honestly
claim for its banners the mottoes, "Always
ready !" " Always faithful !"
Past records will substanaate all thas -is
claimed for Paine's Celery Compound. It
has saved and. cured- thousands who were -
near death's portals; it proved to be the
great healer and life -giver after men and wo-
men had vainly.struggled with other mditi-
eines and prescriptions; it restored after
physicians uttered the terrible word " in-
curable." •
To those who now groan Under burdens of
suffering and disease, we say, with all can,
dor, give Paine's Celery Compound an im-
Mediate trial; it has mired thousand& af-
flicted just • as you are, and it will surely
reach your case and do the same good work.
Mr. A. R. Ma4ruer, of Dixon's Comers,
Ontario, speaks of his wonderful cure by
Paine's Celery Compound, as follows:
"About six months ago my condition of
health was alarmine• and I suffered very
much, I was laid upc'three days out of ev-
ery week ; and I often said to my friends
that it would be better, if it was the Lord's
will, that I should be called away. Three
of the best doctors attended me, but could
not relieve me in a-ny way. It was then I
was advised to use Paine's Celery Compound,
which brought relief at once. After using
this great remedy I find myself a new man,
and feel just as bright as a boy of eighteen.
years. I think,it is the greatest medicine
in the world,and wouldstrongly recommend
it to all who suffer."
