Several kinds of wire fences have been placed on ho market, none of which have proven entirely eat- sfactory ; but in placing before you our CHAMPION STAY WIRE FENCE. we do so confidently, believing that we have over come all of the objections that have been rallied againet wire fencee in the past. It is composed of any deeired number of galvanized °tee' wires, placed at a suitable distance apart, upon which are placed two hall -inch half -round steel bars, one on each Ode of the wires, with groove between to fit tightly on the wires, and bolted with four bolta holding them firmly together and preventing the wires from slid- ing up or down. It is also arranged that the aetione of heat and cold in expanding and contracting the wires are thoroughly controlled by tighteners, and the fence can be kept taut at all seasons of the year. All we ask is an examination of its merits, and we are satisfied you will decide it has no equal. Manu- factured by EDWARD LITT & CD., Dublin P. 0., Ont. R. B.

"I say', grainimae" piped a plaintive 'voice, as its °wrier entered, "it's pretty rough on a fellow,'don't yen think so, when he can't find his Mother 'once a week. Where'. she zone this time, grandma ?" You have been having one of your head- aches at, school, • Willie,. I ewe see that," and grandma looked at the frail little figure anxiously. 'She's gone to her Woman's Club—Jae—it's the Working Girls' Aid," '• It makes a fellow almoet wish he lived in a tenement or worked in a factory, so as his mother Would°onto to see him some- times.," sighed. the wistful voice, as Willie's hands went down in his pockets; ievith an as- sumption of manliness comical to behold and a frown puckered his face. "yhe girls are having some kind of a class in the par- lor, and I mayn't go in, and if it wasn't for you I'd -rather be an orphan in an asylum and be done with it." And Willie withdrew his hands to sit down, in the big arm chair and nurse -his knee' gloweringly: • . "1 suppose it's because you're the oldest and I'm the youngest; and—and you know what they say, grandma—delicate. They think we can stay together, and kind of see to each other. What's in that box by you, grand ma ?" 1 " It's from your AUnt Eleanor,Willie, for my birthday. e She pays, however, that it will be -impossible for either her or Hart- man to bewithme o4 that day." And granchnother1 took from the box - dainty cap, such as Aunt Eleanor, the wife of grandmother's &St born, took especial pride in making for her, always claiming that the sweet old face, with. its brigh eyes, soft skin • and fleecy white hair, wa. her inspiration. But despite the prate gift., Willie saw that gra,ndma, was grieved1 and felt that he knew, why. Had he been asked the date of her birth, day, he most probably would have said, " the last Thursday in November," for, corning on the 27th of that month, it was the family customto merge the two, Thanksgiving and birthday, into one celei bration. But this year, rich Uncle Albertagrand- mother's youngest son, had sent a cheek in- stead of coming, . while Uncle Tom, the baehelor bookworm, had apparently for- gotten all about 'it, and now, in addition, Aunt Eieancr, Uncle Hartman and children were declining. And sq the old . custom, a re -union of all her children and gra,ndchildren on- grand- mother's -birthday., was beginning to be dis- carded, something that had never happenedi while grandfather lived and he and grand- mother were in the- old home. Not that, grandmother had suffered in material corn- forts—it was not, that. . Willie's head had ached all day, and nown his heart ached. Had the boys been home, from college; or even had rhis two sisters' been preaent, he never would have done -it,' but alone With grandmother, he often laid aside his fatiny little grown-up aire. "Ithink-'I will come end put my head on your lap," he said. Sounds of music and laughter came from below, where Marion and Evelyn -were en- tertaining the 'Art Class.". Then some one began to sing,' Grandmother fiat up straight in her chair, with her hand wandering softly over Willie's curls, and her bright eyes looking straight ahead, listening. "Oh, no—oh-h, no, no ! ri-o-o-o ?" the voice declared.over and Over, in as many different keys, it seemed to grandmother, and then some. one closed the door. • "1 like your songs the best," said be. "Sing me one now, grandma."' • I Grandmother's eyes and thoughts cattle back to the little face on her knee. "What shall I sing to you, dearie ?" "1 like soldier songs—' Oh, Give Me but, My Arab Steed,' grandma." "That was what your grandfather's friend, the Governor, elw,aYs _askedj for. Dear, dear! of all the men of note wh fre- quented our house, the Governor, aloe is left, and he must be—yes, he is b0 years old now if a day—" "Bat the song, grandma.'fl "Oh give me but my Ahab steed A shield and falchion bright, And a will to the battle speed." - sang grandmother, with now and then a break in her dear old voice. - Now,.`FitZEustace,'" begged Willie. ' And the afternoon wore away. In her younger days she. had been taught -to be prompt at meals; so now grandmother' sat and waited, or ate alone. This even- ing she and Willie were half *rough sup- per when the rest of the family appeared, full of an announcement Mr. Bethel had made. , "And as lone ite I have to go," he ex- plained to•grandrribther, "1 have been try- ing to get Madeline to go with me; for she has never been South, and even a hurried trip would do her good." "And I have about decided that I will," added Mrs. Bethel. "•But grandma's birthday," objected Willie." Mrs. Bethel looked troubled. She had forgotten that. Grandmother set her teacup down. "Phe girls and Willie and I can have a quiet little celebration together," she said, gently. " Who will keep the house ?" asked Evelyn. "Suppose you -let me try this line," replied grandmother, a li perhaps. ee Mrs. Bethel looked dubioes. -)ed to have forgotten that 1 • time, Made- tle timidly, • She seenn- ndma had been a most famous housekeeper in her day. "1 am bot sure that you und rstand the ways of servants nowadays, n other," she began ; "they are so different: from what they used to be." Grandma gave.a quiet smile, knowing as she did that it was to her • the servants all came for advice and counsel in - their troubles. . But when Mrs. Bethel reflected how during ,D, previous absence Evelyn had run deeply into debt, and how, 'ott another oc- casion the starving family had ;rebelled un- der absent-minded Marion's regime, she concluded it would be wise to aCcept grand- mother's offer. I . • "And the birthday," said Willie' • anx- iously, the day after Mr. and Mrs. Bethel left, looking into- grandma's eyes, which alone showed the' hut her heart felt, ,for Marion and -Evelyn ha just received invi- . tations to join ,a -country friend's Thanks- giving house -party, an seeing their eager- ness, grandmother bad them go. " Yon ' and I, Willie—" she began, then turned her face away to hide the tears that fell on her wrinkled face. ' "It isnot," she thought, "Shat I would have them come unwillingly—not that; - but it is bitter to realize- what I am now that they do not care to be :bele, and then odesty!

"So old, sp alone of my generation—nay, there are some few left Can it be they are so lonely? Do they feel as left out of the life of to -day ?" and grandmother mused on. "1 will do it," she said, rising suddenly and walking to the desk. • "Do what, grandina?" asked Willie. " There is the Governor, and ol Colonel Haskins and Elihu Galleher sti 1 writing poetry at 79, they tell me. And there is Iletty Ann Vanderkirk and Rosanna as Pringle, and I mightk Mrs. P the old Judge's widow. And yes ettheer°t' eis Sallie Briscome.

Hand me my pen, Willie, it has oiled un- der the chair. They will come, I now they will all come. And come they did, every one? Grandmother, in black silk, with the daintiest of her caps upon her snowy fluffs of hair, and a 'Pink flush on her faded cheeks received them with the dignity Vora of her old-fashioned ideas of propriety. With her stateliest bow she weleomed the Judge's widow, whose handsome dress was covered with yards of priceless lace and whose hands sparkled with rings, while stout, comfortable Rosanna Pringle, her childhood playmate, now a, great-grand- mother, she met with outstretched hands. Then with a kiss on eit er cheek, she greeted dear little Hetty An Vanderkirk, almost as timid now as at ighteen, when she kept an assembled compa y waiting for dinner, standing meanwhil outside the drawing -room door, tremblin , and almost in tears, afraid to enter until mind there by the anxious hostess. - The Governor bowed lel over grand- . mother's hand. " A more charming hosteSs, if possible, madam, at 80 than at 20." And when all the guests lied arrived, the Colonel, a little tottery, td be sure, but none the less gallant, took Mss Sallie Bris- come by the tips of her finger and led her sn to the piano, where removi g her itts, she began in a fine quavering high soprano to sing to them as she had 'su a half a cen- tury before, "1 Cannot Dane To -night," "'I'd be a Butterfly," and " ove's Young Dreams." , sAnd being encored again ncl again, she gave them "Sweet Alice Be Bolt," and so laden with memories was Sweet Aliee, that it had not left a dry eye in the room. Nor would the evening have been com- plete had not Elihu Galleher arisen and, addressing grandmother delivered himself of a poem in honor of the occasion, which in turn brought in several lines of a sonnet that he had indited to her just fifty-nine years before. Then grandmother, on the Governor's arm, led the way to supper'and there be- ing a gentleman short, Miss Sallie Briscome smilingly accepted the arm which Willie, in imitation of the Governor, offered her. And the supper! The damask, the ehin the silver, the quaint boat -shaped salt -c lars, the massive candelabra, all were gran mother's own'and with them each guest h past cause to be familiar. The table groaned' as grandmother le predicted, beneath the results of Celia's o tineideas of hospitality. And when t Governor arose, and bowing to grandmot er, said, "Madam, to us gathered he there is but one toast, "The Past," eye eye was dim, and every wrinkled ha trembled as it lifted its cup. AS the last guest departed, Willie look d up into'his grandmother's happy face and "lid' like your kind best, grandma, for they don't treat a fellow as if he was always in the way, nor yet as if he wasn't there, which is worse." And grandma, understanding, smiled. Not the same day, nor even the same week, did they all see it, but eventually the newspaper containing the account of grand- mother's "Centenarian Party" came to the hand and eye of each of her children and grandchildren. How the paper got ' hold of it no one knew, and so great was her horror of a wo- man's name appearing in print that grand- mother was never told of it. Blit, knowing Elihu Galleher's fondness for " rushing into print," he was given the credit, the more so that his own picture as Well as the Governor's, graced the column, while creations of the artist, most ,proba- bly, for they certainly were not ,portraits 5 f the originals, appeared as grandmother, the Judge's widow and Miss Sallie Bris- com"eThere was something very near to pathos," the article ended, " in the gather- ing of this group—the oldest 90, the youngest 79—all relies of the -society of a past day and generation, ha celebration of the 80th birthday of one, who, though sur- rounded by a large family of children and grandchildren, turned to the friends of the past, who had shared its glories with her."

Uncle Tom's eyes as well as Uncle Al- bert's grew misty as they read it, remem- bering the flimsiness of their excuses, and the gentleness of the old mother's replies.

IE BENEFITS AND LESSONS OF TILE MODERN WHEEL, " The wheel, while revolutionary, is evolutionary, It has created for itself a position, and a large one, in the social sphere. Blessings innumerable follow in its wake. It is the evangel of the age. Like mercy, it blesses him who rides, and the one who looks on wishes he had a wheel. In these days of nervous strain, hustle and bustle and keen competition, the wheel has become like Longfellow's "Evangeline," who carried refreshments to the weary toilers in the harvest field. It bears us as on eagle wings from the fret and worry— away from the fumes and smoke—into the beautiful country, where we may talk with nature, and "find tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones and good in everything." Here, too, the lungs may drink in wholesome draughts of Dame Nature's pure ozone. Here prostrate one's slf upon her motherly bosom and hear the pulsations ef her tender heart ; here in- tehildrei:i Cry for, it: le her aromatics and talk throne_ her to N ture's God. In a word, the wheel, as a tonlo, a h;alth restorer, a lung tester and 4 money sa er, has few equals. • One gath rs from it nerve force, magnetism and aLlertness, ey :le though it has sometimes the infortun- a : 'kr eel( of divesting the gayofeqiillibrium and t e grave of dignity. If your friend be 1 bl e, black or craiaky, by all means buy hi a wheel, and the mists will roll away a i d t1ho crank give way to gear, and sun- shine ill take the place of shadow. " 73 t, good as medicine is, if not taken at th right, time it may cause disease of ✓ lion kinds. Diseage is physical, moral, spiritt al. Excessive wheeling produces oerbair4 physical types of disease, and un - se son ble wheeling produces certain moral aid spiritual ailments. I am aware that it is largely a enestion of conscience and ns tive The Scripture precept is 'whether 5 eref re you eat or drink or whatso- ev er y u do, do_ all to the glory of God.' If ti en, ley manner or time of wheeling is not to the dory of God, ib is my duty to give it u or t at part of it which dishonors God a d pr i yes a snare rather then a blessing t me. " There are two extremes to watch a ainst in this question : First, old fogyism; ai d se ond, lawlessness. It is not possible fo hi to attain the highest ideal who vio- la es pi ysical, moral.or spiritual law, but n ne of these need be broken if the wheel be ri htly used. "1 s and beside the wheel, and it whis- p rs, • Son of mitn suffer me to put into y ur e r four useful lessons for daily use.' TI e fir -t is, keep trying. Here I am re- minded of the first time I tried to mount a wl eel.

By use the wheel becomes corroded an 1 sp ashed with mud, and to do effectual work i ust be kept clean and often oiled. Pa il rote, 4 keep thyself pure.' So our so i Is n ed the anointing of the spirit. Keep th. self pure in heart, in life, in thought and in ur ose. ' M wheel whispers finally 'keep sweet.' In wh eling our temper is sorely tried, be- caa se if the humiliation of tumbling. Our ad ant go is to smile at the steel steed's pe- culiar floods. There are many things which te d 5» toughen us, yet happy is the man of n ented spirit. By a little manage - me t we are soon able to turn difficulties int b essings. .

" When the piece stopped everybody hummed and whispered to each other how lovely 'two.% and a good many told the Ger- man how much obliged they were. I didn't saya word. " Then a tall woman, all fixed up with silks and furbelows, sang a piece that al- most made my hair stand on end, it went so high, and had so many ups and downs in it. She was master smart; anybody could see that, but somehow I didn't fancy that kind of singin'. It made me uneasy. When she was climbin' up to her high notes, r wondered if she'd ever get there and when she dropped down again, I wanted to say: 'Now you've got through it safe once; don ' t try it again !' " Well, pretty soon Matilda came round to me and whispered, Father, how cl'you like it "1 don't care much for it,' says I. It's a little too much like frosted cake when you want plain -bread.' "She laughed, and in a minute I heard her sayin' to one of the performers, My father's a little old fashioned, you see, and would you mind !' " What do you suppose happened than? Why, that woman that sung the trills and warbles stood up, and, without any piano plavin' at all, sung Ye Banks and Braes ' and John Anderson.' How she knew what I liked I never could tell, but she sang She songs I've loved since I was a boy, and when she got through the tears were streamin' down my cheeks. " Bless you,my dear !' says I, and I went up to her and shook both her hands. And it seemed to me she liked the songs herself, for when she looked at meher eyes were wet, too. , " I had a beautiful time, but I suppose it's no use thinkin' I appreciate real music." —Youth's Companion. • ITS- FAME 'SPREADING.
