Anel balm air, Stands the pretty town of Godericb,and many sigbte are there, There are many sights in Godericla that tourists love to see For the scenery on the Mailtaud rivals that upon the Dee. But et all .the sights in Goderiob as saith troth ge and fool, The fakes and the prettiest is our Gloderic Grammar School; There we're aught all sorts of know- ledge, fo we have teachers five, And we scholars are as busy as the bees Within their hive. First tklere cemes our English master, he is principal you know, And he coaches up the scholars,both the clever and the, slow, And he talks of Greeks and Romans, and we look on h:m with pride iRii with strong and growing fervor he describes how COMM died. Then the history of England we oft hear from Mr Moore, And we listen with attention as he speaks`of peace and war, But we often shake and shiver, quaking, shaking, cold with fear, .If. when he is solving problems, we should talk, and he should hear, And in accents strong and scornful, he would, looking at us, cry, "Here, you silly, noisy idler, come up here, this problem try." And'when we are walking upward, gaz- ing sadly at the floor, r We are thinking that' we never will again vex Mr Moore. Then comes Mr Halls, the master who explains the sea and land, Tells us how the bones of fishes where inbedded in the sand. He explains that awful subject, "Chem- istry" I think 'tie called, Oft his class in fear and trembling gaze upon the board appalled. .For he gives such awful questions that we've never seen before, -.And we listen with impatience till the clock strikes slowly four. We have but one lady teacher, and she teaches of the mirth, Of the joys and of the sorrows of "The Birds of Killingworth." .And she speaks of the Sicilian, who, one evening at the inn, Told his comrades how the Angel turn- ed Ring Robert from his sin, Sometimes, when chance to wander in our thoughts, we hear her say, "Mademoiselle, please pay attention, and traduisez, s'il vous plait." 'Lastly, we have still the teacher who downstairs has taken root, Very cleverly be teaches the idea how to shoot. And in reading and in drawing he in- structs the pupils here, mor he keeps at them forever till their reading ie made clear. Now, I've told you of the teachers, they are good, and wise, and nine, CH we cannot do a problem they'll ex- plain it in a trice. They will be so very patient, they will make us look and learn, Till at last we may be teachers, hum- bly teaching in our turn. +Ong, long years may glide by quickly, but if aver we are near We will come and pay a visit to our patient teachers here. .If we ever have Success, if we climb the Hill of Fame, It will be to the high school teachers• that we owe our brilliant name. RHYME WITH REASON. To guess the number,wbo would dare to? Of all the ill that flesh is heir to, To hear the half you could not bare to; And a lovely woman has ber share, too; She'd have some less if she'd repair to. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion. For run-down, debilitated and overworked woman, it is the best of all restorative tonics. A potent specific for all those chron- ic weaknesses and diseases pecul- iar to women; a powerful, general as well as uterine, tonic and ner- vine. It. imparts vigor and strength to thuwhole system. It promptly cures weakness of the stomach, nausea, indigestion, bloating debility and sleepless- ness, in either sox. It is carefully compounded by an experienced physician and adapted to woman's delicate organization. Purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. The only medicirior for women, sold [[by druggists, under a posi- tive guarantee of satisfaction in every eaaarteo_ neo-(41)-re€unded— A Washington despatch indi- cates that there are fears of an- other outbreak of Indians this spring. A New Westminster despatch says: A shocking story has reach- ed New Westminstet• from Po- pum. An Indian named Pierre, employed as sawyer at Knight Bros' mill, while working at his post fell against the circular saw. In an instant he was cut up in a horrible manner; ono log was sev- ered close to the trunk; the intes- tines wore torn out, and the body was otherwise terribly mut- ilated. Death was instantaneous. Another Indian named Jim, a strong healthy follow, saw tho accident and its results, arid fell down deadly sick at the sight, and remained almost unconscious until early next morning, when Ise died. • THE HUPSEdAN Bard walk is not so opt in- jure a horse a; the failure to re- tge't�u proper utte-r,tivn after the work. The news come, from Paris that that the Chamber of Deputies has decided to suppress every kind of betting on racers. Both the selling of th'i Paris mutuals and book- making will be forbidden. The decision which will be enforced Monday next has caused a t e menduus sensation among sports- men. Hood's Sarsaparilla has the largest sale of any modicir.e be- fore the public. Any honest druggist will confirm this state- ment. The tro.tiug-bred horse, of good size .and style, smooth in confor- mation; sound and gentle, will al- ways command agood market,and bring better prices than atm other breed, I ecause he is more goner - ally useful. and the demand will always be for the best. to • gen- eral 'arm use, for road use, and for the mee•ket, no breed can com- pare with the trotter. An exchange says : The sale year Inge in England during t past ear has far exceeded ar here afore known in pointofhig prices. Over 600 bead we.'e so for a total of more than $1,000 000. The r,tring owned by S Tatton were sold for an averag of $6,750 each. At the sale the Queen's yearlings, Baro Hirsch paid $25,500 for on yearling. - In 1888 26 ran int four figures; in 1889 there wer 43 of that class and in 1890 th number increased to 58. In the ethics of fasbionablt life carriage etiquette cccupies a pro- minent place. One of the several things supposed to indicate whe- ther a woman is purple,or• at least accustomed to carriage life, is the way in which she enters and leaves her vehicle. She should have one foot out and firmly set upon the carriage step before ,he relin- quishes the sitting posture: then the body should follow easily and naturally. Nothing is more awkward than to see a woman thrust her bead forth first and then find herself forced to double up to accomplish the rest of her exit. Watch ono who knows how to gracefully sink her weight from one foot to the other, almost with- out losing a perfectly perpendi- cular position, securing instantly a walking poise as she touches the ground, and the difference be- tween her method and that of an• other, who lands very nearly in a tumble on. tho sidewalk will be discernible. , James Parmely, Kalamazoo county, Mich., desires to know' hich breed of horses is the best for the farmer, the Percherons or the Clydesdale? This will de - end upon the heaviness of the soils tote tilled, and the distance the.cfops are to be hauled to mar- ket. Both of these breeds of horses are very valuable for heavy work. All horses .called Percher - on or Clydesdales may not pose sess the requisite purity of blood or the special characteristics of these breeds to entitle them to special commendation. A firet- class farm horse should be strong, active, kind,willing, and above all a good walker. Tho pure Per- cheron is a fast team horse for 'a heavy load. The Clydesdale is slower but a good heavy horse and valuable for heavy work like trucking. For the farm probably the medium sized "Suffolk Punch should be preferred to either. He is the fastest walking horse. To those who fully appreeiate the true value. of a fast walking gait for all farm or heavy road work it means one-quarter more plowing, , harrowing or road work. It means 80 days' work on the farm every four weeks, or every 24 days. If the Percheron or Clydesdale can do this amount of' work over and above the com- mon horse, these are the lcinc3 of horses farmers need.—[American Agriculturist. of he Ili Id 11' e of n 0 O e e A writer in the Chattanooga Tinos says 'I had the pleasure of meeting the most curious com- binations of the genus homo it has been my fortune to rub up against. Tho stranger is an old resident of Nashville, an exemplary citizen, a grandfather and a member of an Episcopal church. He assured me, and I believe him, that,ie never ran a -horse in his life, a d never attended but one race, and that was when a boy; yet I never met a man this side of Sheepshend l3ny who was more thoroughly posted on .turf matters. Not only is he posted on pedigrees and breeding, but ho knows just what noarfy every running horse on the Amer - can turf is capable of doing. Re- cords and owners are at his tongue's end,and his predictions as to racing events arb something marvelous. He picked up a Cin- cinnati paper and checked off what horses he considered would win Thursday's races at Gutten- berg. He bit four winners out of the five, and the fifth horse got the place. Ile doesn't guess at the winners; his judgment is based on tangible faets. 'And don't you over attend the Nashville races?' J queried in surprise. `No, indeed I don't,' responded my anomalous friend, 'the vestry would get after mo with a big stick. Besides, although a groat. admirer of horses, I don,t enjoy seeing theta run. My enjoyment is in reading about than.' A. PLEASING J IE. I joined in a game the other -averring wide- aN jolly- Tarty -at yoang people that seems to me a Capita.t amusement for everybody, from grandfather down. It is called 'Observation.' Oaf of the ladies came into the, room with a good•3ized tray, which she placed in the middle of a large round table. On the tray was a collection of objects hidden by a napkin. We knew that something was under the napkin, because it was pushed up into little hillocks and depressed into little valleys. We all sat arounu, each one armed with a pencil and a sheet of paper. At a. given signal the ludy removed the napkin and ex- posed the contents of the tray to view while she counted ten. Then she hid the tray again with the napkin. While she counted ten we were all struggling to get into our minds what was on the tray, and when the napkin was replaced we wrote down on the paper what we had observed. These fifteen ob- jects wore on the tray:—A toy fan, a cracker, a b+.11 of floss, a pair of scissors, a button hook, a little bottle of brown stuff (smell- ing salts we learned afterward) with a rod cork, a Japanese lamp mat, a marshmallow, a nail brush, a glass vinaigrette,with tea leaves in it, a Japanese box, a pen wiper, a ball of brown worsted, a match safe, a thimble. Some of us only caught two or tbr'ee of the objects, and the win- ner managed to observe only the first seven, "Observation" is not only amusing, but it is good training fur the eye. Robert Houdin, tl.c famous magician, trained his son in some suet) way as this, so that he could pass rap- idly through a room and after- wards accurately describe the fur- niture, pictures: and a bric•a-brae which it contained.

MANY LADIES Have written that Clark's Catarrh Cure has relieved them, restoring perfectly every sense. Through grati tude they have consented that thei names be published. Yet the Clark Chemical Co. will not use this means to advertise their remedy. They wil not parade the sufferings of any one, .o invade the sacred privacy of any home Any sufferer from catarrh will reconi- mend Clark's Catarrh Cure, and that good word is worth more than the pub- lished certificate. Clark Chemical Co., Toronto, New York. While coupling cars at Stratford on Tuesday morning at the freight shed, David Cullaton, a spare conductor on the G. T. R., met with an accident which:will probably prove fatal. Having been for some years a yardeman, he was assisting in the yard, where there was a shortage of men, and had just made his last coupling for the night when he was caught between a car and the shed platform in such a way as to crush him terribly. His collar -bone and several of his ribs were broken, the ends of two of the latter penetrating one of his lungs. He is still alive, but there is not much hope of his recovery. A traveler who has recently visited Jersualem—his name is notTa l mage—tells of the sensation produced tee tnQt month by tho Introduction, f r• ,•Ulric light, just four years an. sets light was seen there.

Many ot'them are so alarm- ed that they hardly dare to look at ic, and the Mohammedans call upon the prophet for safety. They ask what it is, where it comes from, and how the lllagiciang make it. When told that it. is the same thing as lightning, they be - nine still more mystified, ask how it can bo caught or held, and take care to keep at a respectful distance from it. "Perhaps," says the traveller "the day is not far distant when the streets ofJerusa- lem may be lighted by electricity and even when Palestine, long de- solate, shall blossom like the rose.' ONE SECRET OF HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. The political battle is over, but the battle with disease must be constantly and unceasably waged else the grim reaper will come out victorious, and loved ones will gather to their long home. On all sides may be seen pale and listless girls who should be enjoy- ing the health and glow of rosy youth. Every -where are met with women young in years, yet prematurely old, who suffer.' in silence almost untold agonies, the result of those ailments peculiar to the female system. To all such, Dr Williams' Pink Pills comes as a blessing. They restore wasted vital- ity, build up the nervous system, en- rich the blood, and transform pale and sallow complexions into glowing, rosy cheeks that alone follow perfect health. In a word they are a certain cure for all these distressing complaints to which women and girls are peculiarly liable. A trial of these pills will con- vince 'the most sceptical of their wonder- ful merit. I•or suffering men Dr Williams' Pink Pills are equally effica- cious. 1'or over -work, mental strain, loss of sleep, nervous debility and all those diseases that lead to broken-down manhood, they are a certain specific, stimulating the brain, reinforcing the exhausted system aria restoring shat- tered vitality.

It is said by some waggon makers that they have spent a long life in the business, and that, therefore theirs is the better waggon. If this be so, how is it that this company, who only commenced making waggons seven years ago, are now making and selling more waggons than the whole o. them put together?
