BY nevip LY.ALL, IN THE SCOTTISH Al% ERI- ! CAN JOURNAL. The return of the exile to his native haernts has from time immemorial been a subject for poet and painter. I have not myself been guiltless of some attempt to de- scribe it, both in my youth and iu later years. But mostly I have drawn upon my imagination, becauee for many years I was no exile from my native dale, to which I returned year after year with faithfulness, always sure of my welcome home. But the years bring about many changes so -it came to pass that the atress of life in the great city, whither destiny bad called me in my youth, and also a long period of residence in other countries, made me a stranger in mine own land, yea, a stranger among the very people who had cradled and nurtured me. Soon after my grandfather, loved and re- vered to the last, died in the old house of Byars, it became expedient for family reasons that the place should be sold. My Aunt Robina spent a period of five years with us in our happy London home, and then, when my wife's health rendered_ it im- perative that we should become for a time wanderers on the face of the earth, she re- turned to Edinburgh, where she may be found in her own house, in Ann street, by those who love her to this day. So much of personal matter is necessary in order that it may be clear how I came to return to Faulde, alone and unrecognized. Of the great and unspeakable sorrow which befell me in latter lite I will not here write, because I cannot, auffioe to say that I arrived in Edinburgh, city of mk memory and of My dreams, in the pearly grey of a spring evening, alone, even, if I had ?t. it thirty years before. I put my lugg ge in a cab, gave the man my aunt's address, and bade him tell them I would walk down, and that I might be an hour on the way. It was well I sent such a message, because it was long dark before I followed him. When I got clear of the station and saw all the farniliar landmarks, incomparably beautiful as of yore, there was that in my heart I cannot here set down. First I wielked up the twisting incline of Cockburn street, andso out to the old Col- lege my Alma Mater. I do not envy the mai wh_o, _having once studied within these gre old walls, can years after contemplate theri unmoved. I thought of all my chums. the uke, Tom Rattray, Willie Elder, and a doz n more, and my thought e were tender even to tears. I felt as if I moved in a place of dream and shadows, and 1 won- dered whether any of them had ever revisit- ed the place, and whether they felt as I did. As I walked west I kept to the castle side of Princess street, and went down to the very spot where Euphan and I had talked together on a never to be forgetten afternoon in the long ago -one and thirtyyears ago -ah me ! and all that is left is a grave by the blue Mediteranean sea, and is a storehouse of blessed memories such as it isgiven to a few men to possess. Yet not all, else would life no longer be possible here; without the sure and certain hope, of a blessed resurrection, the grave would have its victory ; with it, sorrow draws us so near to the immortal that at times we can almost pierce the veil. At length I reached Cha Mae Square, and paused before the, familiar office of the Wed- derlaurns, where I had ser ed my apprentice- ship to the law. So I caine in pensive aod dreamy mood to the quiet old -word street, which no vandal hand has touched; a bit of old Edinburgh indeed,- fit Setting for some of the worthless who dwe 1 within its precincts. knew the face of the woman who opened the door to me; she, t o, belonged to the old time. I had scarce y time to ask for her welfare,lOr beyond I aw the tail, spare figure of my aunt, a figure which seemed to represent both pride and pathos. Her stormy yoush was so 19 g gone that scarcely a sting remained; and she stood there a gentle woman of the oh sehool, in her stiff silk gown and shawl of filmy lace, her black eyes keen and restless, her proud mouth quivering beyond her strength to control it. So there ye are my man ; if I could geoid I would. But no, on this nicht, Davie, no, no. We clasped hands in silence, and each understood the other. Then she marshalled me to the snug dining -room and would have had me eat before I had washed off the dust of my journey. "1 just wanted a look round, aunt," I said, as I -took my seat at her hospitable table, the look of which was familiar. I did net know why, until she directed my atten- tion to the china and eilver which I had seen at every meal in my boyhood. "1 think there is little change. Edinburgh looks just the same, and here, thank God, there is no change at all." aummanIMMNICIIIE111111. Hel • IBabies and children need proper food, rarely ever medi- cine.

I 1 1 THE HURON EXPOSITOR NOVEMBER 24, 1899 Think of' a woman being sick and an six years when she might have been well all that tine! Think of her taking the treatment of four doctors and getting no better. Think of the pain she en - dared - bf the ,... uselessness of Z011ir Doctors Failed. her life in those six long, dreary, miserable years. , - Think of the distress of a refinedemodest woman during the useless examinations and treatment of four different doctors who each and all failed to give her any comfort. Think of all this and then think that she was finally cured -completely, wholly, per- manently cured right in the privacy of her • home without the bhorrent "examine - tions " and local treatment so uniformly Insisted upon by hoine physicians -cured just as she inight have been six years before. These are simply the facts in the case of Mrs. M. B. Wallace, of Muenster, Cook Co., Texas, who writes : "I had been a great sufferer from female weak- ness. I tried four doctors and none did me any 'good. I suffered six years, but at last I fond - relief. I followed your advice, and took four bottles of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' nd eight of' the 'Favorite Prescription.' I now eel like a, new woman.i I have gained eighteen ounds." Dr. Pier e's Pavorite Prescript on is a medicine ade for just one purPose--to cure disor ers or diseases of the feminine organism. It is the only preparatian of its kind intro uced by a regularly graduated physican- skilled specialist in the dis- eases of w men, whose thirty years of suc- cessful pra lice are a guarantee of health to all sufferer who consult him. Every w man may write fully and con- fidentially to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo N.

"Except ithat the auld wife gets aulder. Davie, and the veil between is thinner than it was." " Wheest, aunt," I 'laid, with sharpness. "Remember you are all I have left." Then we fell upon sacred speech of thoee who had left us, and in that talk I found more balm for 14 sore wound than any I had yet assayed. For she was of my own blood, and knew me as no other did. Though my own faith in the great problem of life had scarcely faltered, it seemed as if here I touched the very hills of strength. My Aunt Robina, though she had never lost her keen interest in the things that are in the world, held but lightly to them. She was altnoit already, I thought, a citizen of that further clime from which no traveller re- turns. _ "I suppose yell be for Faulds soon, Davie. It's changed if ye like. I could lay my wee finger ye could walk the length and breadth of the Dale and cheat them a'." " I'll try, aunt, butLl fear it is dreich work playing at the exile's return." I thought I would go and getit over with- out delay, so next -morning found :me on my way. I went alone. Aunt Robina esccused herself on account of her age and her infirmie ties, buti knew that her heart shrank from it. It was a fair morning when I alighted at the railway station at Faulde. It was no marvel that no one recognized me there, for even had I not been changed beyond recog- nition myself, all the 'officials were new. What wond r after thirty years? The old sheds with heir bare and windy platforms had disappe red; a emart glass covered erection no gave shelter from the weather. I crossed th iron bridge, and so on to the brae and up the village street. It was not so much cha .ged in outward look as might have been e pected. The grey, unpictures: que row of houses with the shops below were unchanged elecept for the names. The first I came to w s the butcher's shop, which in the old tim had been" kept by one Tibby Lang, a char cter in her way. Mk gentle mother, who by reason of her delicate heal h was somewhai., fastidious in her taste, w uld sometimes express disap- pointment w en she oould not buy what she wanted in Tibby's emporium. Tibby's wrath, ,whe4 any fault was found with quantity or uality or anything pertaining to her tied , was something awe-inspir- ing. " D'ye think I've naething to dile but kill, a beast when you want a bit steak or a pund o' roast ?" she would say d with withering 880/73. After that the chances where -you walked away meekly, with tenything she chose to _give you. Tibby had a new front, and there was a portly person in a blue striped apron within so I hastened, on. Bavvbie a sweet - shop had become a linen dra doorway Which "Peter startling) was wont to g adorned with bales of cott and tartans of a pattern u clan. It was the same all t11 I was glad to turn the cornerj of the Doctor's Read and find my way circuitously to the highroad, which would lead me past the costage-where Adam Vairweather had spent his happyiold age. Soon T came to the lodge of Pitbradert and the great gates of i t. a flash of Inneshall. By this time the sun shone out royally, and all the spring lo eliness seemed to be revealed to me light. . East and west have I travelled, and seen most of the fair places of the earth, but fairer I never saw than the hills of home with the spring greeness upon them, water- ed by the wimpling burns where the trout - lets leaped in the sun', secure from the wile of any angler. The round, smooths crest of the Moorfoots was my goal, but often I turned on my way to look upon the great plain which lay between ine and the city I had left, the garden of the Lothians, a veri- table parterre, where the fruits of the earth came to their full ripeness and beauty with but little help from man. There is no other feeling like unto this which fills a man's soul when he looks upon such scenes, hallowed by memories which all the toil and stresi of life cannot take from him. Bub in the main it is a painful experience, edged by keen dis- appointment. The unexpected changes iri- tate and distract him, and he rebel8 because others do not hold in reverence what was dear to him. Thus, when I came straight up the long, smooth, white rod to the Byars, what did I find? In placeef the old grass -grown courtyerd, with its immem- orial well -and the branching elm, with the roundabout seat clinging to its trunk, a trim garden laid out in symmetrical lines, shut off from marauders by a neat stone coping surmounted by an iron railing. Nor was the house the place of my boyhood's love ; its front had been, taken out, and great oriel windows built instead of the old latticed casements; it was bran neW, modern, hideous, at least so I thought: per's, and the itchell" (the ard was now n and winceys known to any e way up, and I could have sat me down and .wept, and all desire to enter the house or eeek any speech with those who dwelt there departed from me, never to come back. 1 hurried from my contemplation of these, to me, melancholy changes,. and ere I had gone many steps I met an old woman carrying a market basket, and Wearmg a lilac cotton short gown, and a sunbonnet, beneath which her eyes, black as the sloes, regarded me with an alert, enquiring look. She was the first homely or familiar thing I had seen in the neighbourhood, and I made haste to get speech with her, on any pretext what- ever. "Can you tell me," I said, " whether there be Haldane° still in Easter or Wester ee Law ?" "Oh, ay, the Jeems Haldanes are in Easterlaw yet, but Sandy and is wife live i' the toon noo, an' his guid on, an' Miss Elsie that was, bide at Wester. law." "Thera are a good many °hang s here, I think," I observed, with a jer of my thumb towards the bran new hone of By- ars. "Ay," she answered with a sigh, "_Byars is no' as it was in the auld laird'e ti 6." "Is the oid stock gone root and b anoh 2". I asked, foolishly, for it is never a fe thing to venture on such personal ground. " Very near," she answered. "The e's only Miss Robiny that lives in the toon a" a', an' I believe that the grandson David Lyall is leevin' still, but I'm no' eure.", in London ?" "So they say. He micht he been laird here. The auld man beggit him on his ben. dib knees, but he wad awa'. He took to writin'," she said, precisely as she might have said "he took to drinking," "an' nae - body kens onything aboot him. Ay, ay, it's an awfu' place that London. Twa three Faulds chaps gaed awa' shoot the same time an nano o' them ever cath' to ony guid.", So saying, without so much as a word of warning or farewell, she tramped on and left me in the roadway, half amused and half vexed. . To be clamed with the ne'er do-wels, even by an unsophisticated country woman, was a blow to one's pride. I prnwled about the neighborhood all day, got a_drink of milk and a scone in a shep- herd's hut, and thopgh I passed close by Easterlaw and Westbrlaw I did not seek to enter. The years between had made a barrier which I had no mood to break down. So in ' e gloaming I came to my last place of call, tie old kirkyard of Faulde. All dear to me, ut one slept there, and it was a holy place ; i seemed to me as the old gate creaked upon is hinges that the world and the things tat are in the world were a long way off. 'he name upon every headstone was familiar nd beloved. I came first to the grave of my dear 'old master, Adam Fairweather. I do not know who worded the inscription there, but it seemed to me to be significant and appropriate " Here lies the mortal part of Adam Fairweather, for half a century schoolmaster in Faulds." During that long period he had through his hands man k a promising youth and many a dull one. But of each and all he made the beat; and there are few places in the earth so remote that one heart there does noteerate- fully cherish his name. He was an Israelite indeed, in whom there was no guile. I took a sprig of Moorfoot heather from the head of the grave, and passed on to the spot where my own kindred slept.' And there I lingered until the darkness charted me away. All, all gone, .and only the memory •of the -just remaining. And yet could man, the most ambitious, ask for more? I re- viewed my own -life, its early ambitions, which had but part fulfilment, its achieve- ment, which in the light of experience seemed paltry indeed. And the one thought in my heart as I slowly turned away was this, that much of the world's achievement is dust and ashes, and that the great things of earth are what men call little, because their eyes are holden so that they cannot see. To serve one'seday and generation with a single heart, to '}atik God's guiding and wait for it, haeing no will but His -this is the true meaning ef4ife. ,5 Daft Davie .A. travelling conjurer once iisited a mining village in the North of Scotia d, and in the course of the performance, wtfiioh was at a street corner, he asked if nybody could oblige him with the loan o a halfpenny. After some deliberation a ialfwitted lad who was commonly called '1Daft Davie," produced the required article. The conjurer took it, and after pretending to swallow it put his hand to his ear and drew it there- from in the • shape of helf a -sovereign. He then handed it round fair examination, and when it came to Davie that ° worthy looked at it dubiously. Seeing his doubt the con- jurer said, " You'see, my man, I have chang- ed the halfpenny into half a sovereign." "Aweel," remarked Davie, slipping it into his pocket, "111 tak' braw guid care ye dinna change it intae a halfpenny again." • Startling Confessions Show that 26 per cent. of men 'and women suffer the torturee of itching piles. Investigation provee that Dr. A. W. Chase's Ointment has never yet failed to cure itching piles, and all of these men and wo- men could end their sufferings at once by using it. Scores of thousands have been cured+ by this t eat- ment. Everybody an be cured in the same way. W hence The Boers Came. AMSTERDAM AND ITS PEOPLE. The Dutch bo st, and not unjustly, I be- lieve, that their, country is one of ,the healthiest in Eueope, and their capital the healthiest in the i land. On the face of it their boast is not an empty one. A merely cursory observation of the people in the streets of Amsterdam and the adjacent towns, has led Erie to conclude that there are few bodily weaklings of either sex. One but rarely meet; with a pale faced girl, evi- dently suffering from poverty of blood; and the men, young and middle-aged, though very often belo the average height, are : generally sturdy of limb. The Dutch in- fantry of the li e are, indeed, very short, and so are the merines ; but it is a pleasure to look at them, especially with the French piou piou in one's mind, for they are the perfection of neatness and tidiness. Their trimness and cleanliness are, how- ever, as nothing to those of the servant girls. From the soles of their by no means tiny feet, to the top of their pazzling white caps, there is not a speck on then -i. Their roomy prunella slippers, their print gowns, with ample white serviceable, not toy, aprons, their headgears, in many respects like that worn by our servant maids, induce comparisons, and, not always in favour of our female domestics.

Instead f tossing the hay back in the wagon, the boy was regardless of where it landed. , " The traveller halted, and said: " My young friend, why do you work 8Q furious- ly this hot weather? Why do yoa not toss the hay back in the wagon, and be more de- liberate in your labors ?" "The boy stopped, wiped the streaming perspiration off his faoe on his shirt sleeve, and, pointing to the pile of hay on the road- side, exclaimed, "Stranger, dads under thar', and then he set about work more furiously than ever."

I 1 • Country vs. City. Many of those who go from the farm to the city leave much of their individual free- dom behind them.. On the farm they were, to a large extent, their own masters, they laid out their own work and with their neighbors established cheese and butter fac- tories and engaged in other co-operative work. In the city many of them secure employment at the factory, where the ob- ject of the rnanagenient is to get the largest poseible amount of ,work out of each em- ployee at the lowest possible cost. Some of them find work at the departmental store; where they form part of a great human ma- chine worked at high pressure. The em- ployer doe ° not know his employees and cares little or nothing for their welfare. The city has its attractions, but in them individual , effort has grown weaker and great aggregations of capital have become the dominating force. The country hail escaped the centralizing tendencies so strong in the city, and to it we must look for examples of individual effort and for the preservation of individual character. • How The Boers Live. At the !Paris exhibition of 1900 a true picture of a Boat dwelling will be erected, th This will illustrate the mode of life which a 1 the old Boer colonists still follow. Three ooms, a. dining -room and kitchen, will be urnished with objecte from the Transvaal, nd Boer family will take up their resi ence t ere. Red, badly -made bricks, hied t gether with clay, are to be used in the con truction. The roof will be tom. he posed of rough tree trunks, and the ridges of empty jam tins packed next each other in imitation of the prevailing custom. Tile joints will not be fastened by looks, bolts or hinges, but will be held together by leather thongs. At first the people did not band houses, but lived in a sort of a house-wsgon, which could easily be taken from one plaee to another. An imitation of such a no- madic wagon vrill be exhibited at the Tro- cadero. • Wit and Wisdoin. A woman says her husband is so fond of an argument that he won't eat anything that will agree with him, "Was Mr. Podger really cruel to his wife?" "Cruel ?.. Why he treated her all the time as if she were his partner at whist." A great deal is said of the.trials of Job, but hie wife, who had to put up with bim while he was sick, deserves more credit Polly- I want you to 'know that I don't stand on trifles." Nanny (glancing at the other's feet)-" No, dear, I see you don't." She -"I wouldn't marry yeti if yeti were the last man on earth," He -"y0 wouldn't get the chance. I'd have my pick then." When the world allciws you to attain a respectable mediocrity in anything, you may feel satisfied that you are being compara- tively well treated. "Simpson's wife leads him rather a pretty dance, as it seems to me." Yes when he was courting her he told her one day that she looked pretty when she was angry, and now it has got to be a habit with her." Overheard at Glasgow G.

An Englishman and an Irishman met one day, and the former, wishing to have some fun with Pat, asked him if he was good at measurernent. "I am that," mild Pat. "Then could you tell me how many edits I could get out of a yard?" asked the English- man. "Well," said Pat, "that depends - upon whose yard you. get into." • Surprised the Congregation. - Two little folks' went to church alone. It was only around the corner from their home, and their mamma knew they would be safe. During the long sermon they got tired, and. the older one, supposing that the rules held good in church led her sister up in front of the pulpit and said; "Please, may we go home now." Much surprised, the clergy- man gazed at them over his spectacles, then he understood, and wad Certainly, my children," and the two toddled out, while the congregation smiled. Gallantry Among Monkeys. Monkey shooting in Bornecas great spode says a traveller. I shall never forget a pair that I saw one day.

I didn't have the art to shoot after fleet." Anecdote of General Buller. Sir James Sivewright tells an interesting story of General Buller and the Boer War of 1881. Sir James was plain Mr. in those days. He lived in a Cape Town suburb,and wae chief of the Cape Telegraph Depart- ment. Buller was then Major Buller Mill- tarY Secretary to the Commander-in:Chief, Sir Leicester Smythe. One day just before the defeat at Majuba Buller expressed his fears to Sivewright that Colley might. get into trouble among the frontier hila. "He may be tempted," he said, "to go up one of those hills. If he gets to the top he won't know which ridge to guard." Buller W&8 so anxious that Mr. Sivewright got the wires connected with the base of operations, and they were soon talking to the camp, where all was reported well. General Col- ley had just moved out, and was understood to be threatening the Boers' camp. Buller *aa satisfied, and declared that Celley had Lone up some mountain under the im- pression that he would command the Boer position, but he would find out his mistake. de yr ne ' w It You'd Never Doe If your heart never Stopped beating.
