I sit to -night in the gloaming, And the fire -light sheds around A blending of brightness and shadow, Such as in bur lives is found And a flood of memories throng me As I gaze in the fire's bright glow, . For my thoughts and my heart are dwelling With the laved ones of long ago. The room is aglow with the radiance Every nook and corner alight, And the faces -that gleam in the firelight Are friends that I yearn for to -night, How they may pass andrepass in my vision The joyous, the fond and the fair, But I reach out my arms to embrace them And find they're but dream faces there. In the fire's faint gleam there are faces Seen last 'narth the coffin lid, And as my tears fall fast as the rain -drops As all brightness in life is hid; When a flame leaping higher and higher Throws floods of light around. And I see the loved and lost ones At home with glory crowned. Then the flame sinks lower and lower— The embers have fallen apart, And the fitful, oft changing shadows • Are true types of the inconstant heart, Where, I ask, are thej friends once so cherished The friendships that promised so bright, a�3t%'tl�•.v'd-wailing winds alone answer ems as drear as the night. And my li I ory out in nnsatisfie longing Ah earth, must thy tr ares depart, Is friendship an oft -changing doe. And love a wild dream of the heart; We are borne by a resistless current Ah, whither it bears us who knows, Triumphantly, sweetly faith whispers O sad heart, be trustful, God knows. So I sit alone in the gloaming Life's dreams like the fire lie dead, Tho' the radiance of youth has departed White winged .peace hovers o'er me in- stead, Through the gates afar a glimpse of the home • Of eternal reunion arose, Earth's cross -lights no longer perplex me For I rest -in the promise "God knows." SOSIE PATTON DURST.,, HOOD'S CURES. In saying that Hood's Sarsaparilla cures, its proprietors make no idle or extravagant claim. The advertising of Hood's Sarsap- rills is always within the bounds of reason, because it is true; it always appeals to the sober,common sense of the thinking people, and it is always fully substantiated by ea' dorsements, which in the financial world would be accepted without a moment hesitation. Read the testimonials published in bi- half of Hood's Sarsaparila, all from p- liable, grateful people. They tell'the story. Hood's Sarsaparila Cures. A TERRIBLE KICKER.

There is a man in Chicagovho pays eighteen thousand dollars a year for the privilege of keeping a cdv. He is a sane man, .a busitrss man, a Man of family, and generaly respect- ed in the community. His poor rela- tives declare him a freak. aril his neigh- bors shrug their shoulders and mur- mur things about rich meni whims. The way of it is that hepdssesses a valuable building lot in a choice resi- dence portion of ;the city tad, having nothing else to do with it, he put up a Ake little fence around • it.;.nd quarter - ..d.1 within his- pet Jerse' cow. The cow was an artistic cow,,und harmon- ized well with the green urf and lilac bushes, so people ratheil admired the arrangement. One dal a man came along who thought he would like to build a house on that pn'ticular lot, so he,,hunted up the ownert,nd made him a spot cash offer of ,hree hundred thousand dollars for thefand. His of- fer was refused, decisiviy and polite- ly. "But," olite-1y"But," remonstrata relative aghast, "that would p you/ eighteen thousand dollars a ' ar! :Why on earth did you refuse i ' The rich man lit a ci ' r and turned a protesting face on his cuser. "Yes," ^he assented in a pu .led way, "but what would I have do : with my cow?' NATURE'S LOVEMAKING 1 _ I The wooing of birds is roost relined and graceful. Love tunes their respen. tive pipes, says the Boston Globe, and they seek to captivate their Mates by their sweetest notes and most varied warblings. The wood pigeon charms the lady love by a series of aerial evolutions and a curious flapping of his strop wing feathers, puffing his breast and tenderingly cooing. At mating time the plumage of male birds is more handsome than . at any other period—indeed, some . birds as- sume different colors in the spring.. Yellow -hammers charm their mates byldisplaying their tail feathers, in the form of a fan; starling chatter in the sunshine to show the metallic beauty of their breast feathers, and sqwallow circle and double in graceful flight be- fore their lady loves. Bright shells, flowers, feathers and grasses are laid by the bower bird at the entrance of his partner's retreat, and tiny humming birds woo most as- siduously, showing off theirlovelyhues and engaging in fierce combat with -a possible rival, even bringing nectar from choice flowers for the delectation of their fairy brides. Hen birds exhibit all the vagaries of their sex, and pretend to be indiffer- ent to the exertions of their admirers. Frogs have an original way of love- making, and as soon as evening shades fall commence to croak loudly to their mates, sometimes great numbers of them combining in one unmusical chorus. Courting among insects is often a very elaborate affair. A male spider will approach the female and amuse her for some:time with his antics. It is said that he twirls around and around, croses his legs, erects his body and executes a sort of mazy dance to excite their admiration. She is.a very vicious lady, and not always pleased with his lovemaking; sometimes he is obliged to ward her off for she has a painful mode of showing her displeasure, and if she entirely dis- approves of his attentions will fall up- on him and rend him to pieces. One species of spider is said to have a novel way of making love, the sexes communicating by means of strands of web stretching from one retreat to an- other—a sort of telephone, so to speak. Glow-worms, according to some na- turalists, use their luminaries as love - signals. The females of one species seat themselves among the grass, while the males, attracted by the light, dance attendance around them. Concerning fishes, the sticklebacks occasionally resort to harsh treatment, attacking the females with open mouths and erected spines. As hus- 1 bands their behavior is certainly ec- centric, for after the female, has de- poslted her eggs within the nest that he has prepared for her, her lord and mtot L Ives Ler away and proceeds to batch t esc. t'1iswe.1fR ...... `l 11 THE FOURTH FIRE. Thefire which a week ago destroyed the Brooklyn Tabernacle was the fourth in the building since its erection. Trustee and ex -Treasurer John Wood gave this information to a reporter : " "The fire was not the first, but the fourth one in that building. Thethree revious fires all started from the elec- rigal resistance box, ' or converter, hrough which the motor wires ran from the starting box at the right of the organ desk to the motor in the organ pit. "The first fire started before the Tabernacle was open two months. There was a lot of loose pieces of lum- ber around the resistance box, which Was placed on the platform where the organ trackers were. The box burned out and set fire to this trash. It was extinguished, I think, by Sexton Dey, and no material damage was done. "The second fire was caused by Or- ganist Brown turning on quickly the full force of the current, which should be turned on by degrees, at the start- ing box, at the organ keyboard. The resistance box was instantly burned out, and with it the wire away out into the starting box. The fire flew out there, and, if I am not mistaken, Mr Brown burned his fingers at the time. This did not set fire to anything. "The third fire was almost in the same place where Sexton Dey claims the last one started—on that platform, and right near the resistance box." When asked whether he had any idea that the fire was work of an incendiary Mr Wood said : "Not a particle. It started as the others did, in the- electrical resistance box. I don't remember the dates of the fires I speak of, but they occurred, and were looked upon as matters of no moment at the time." A MISTAKE. "My dear," said Mr Finnicky. "I don't think those pills I have been tak- ing have done me much good." "Why, you haven't taken any for three weeks!" "Why, I have; I've swallowed one three times a day as directed." "You have? Then why is it that there are as many left as there were three weeks ago? What box have you been taking them from." "This one." "Dear me, John! That is my shoe - button box."

AiLiAt HE SAW REAVFN. . A pastor preached a n eloquent ser- mon about Heaven. A wealthy mem- ber of his church met him one day and said: "Doctor, you told us a great many grand and beautiful things about heaven yesterday, but you didn't tell • us where it is." "Ah," said the pastor, "I am glad of the opportunity of doing so this morning. I have just come from the hill -top yonder. In that cot- tage there is a member of our eburph. She is sick in bed with fever. Her two little children are sick in the other bed, and she has notof a bit of coal, or a stick of wood, or flour, or sugar, or any bread. Now, if you will go down and buy fifty dollars worth of things—nice provisions --and sendthem to her, and then go and say : "My sister, I have brought you these provisions in the natne of our Lord and Saviour, ask for a Bible, and read the twenty-third Psalm, and then get down on your knees and pray—it you don't see hea- ven before you get through I'll pay the bill," The next morning he said: "Pas- tor, I saw heaven, and I spent fifteen mintites'in heaven as truly as you are listening." SURGEON'S KNIVES. FAILED TO REMOVE THE DISEASE FROM HEZE- EIAH VAUGHAN'S SYSTEM—DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS, WHICH HAVE NEVER YET FAIL- ED, CURED HIM IN SHORT ORDER. SANDWICH, May 28.—Hezekiah Vaughan, of the township of Gosfield, has lately gone through a severe surgical operation at Har - per's bbspital, Detroit, for what different doctors diagnosed as liver complaint, kid- ney trouble and bladder complaint. Four surgeons cat away at him for 44 hours, but when they got through, none of them could tell what was wrong, and the patient was left as bad as ever. The benefits de- rived by a neighbor from the use of Doll's Kidney Pills, induced Mr Vaughan to try them. From the first he began to improve. His bowels soon became regular and the pains that afflicted him disappeared. Six boxes restored to his former vigor a man who had abandoned all hope of regaining sound health. Early Thursday morning MrGibbard, principal of theHigh School at George- town, awakened to find a man in his bedroom. The robber cried "Halt !" but Mr Gibbard made for him and was struck with a club and knocked down. The burglar then grabbed Mr Gibbard's coat and vest and made his escape. There were a few shinplasters in the vest,which was all the burglar secured.1 A Solace for Affliction.—Wrong condi- tions entail suffering.

He drank deeply, and went through the property in two months. While engaged in the completion of one of the Texas railroads he received a notice that he had fallen heir (this time) to five thousand dollars. "Allow me to congratulate you," said one of his fellowmen. "Congratulate nothing," said the man dismally "it looks very much as though there was some kind of a plot on.foot to kill me off." THREE WANTS. "Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of sense, Live in three words, health, peace, and oompetence." So says the poet. Competence counts for little when one is sick, and peace is disturb. ed when health is upset, so that the poet rightly places health first. To have good health you must have pure blood. From the blood the system receives all its mater- ial of growth and repair. The best blood - purifier is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery. which is world. famed and sold everywhere. It is, a soverign remedy for ,all diseases due to impoverished or impure blood, as consumption, bronchitis, weak lungs, scrofula, old sores, akin diseases, and kindred ailments. ' Delicate disease of either sex, however induced, promptly, thoroughly and per- fleanently cured. Sends loo in stamps for large illustrated treatise, sent securely sealed in plain envelope. Andress, World's Dispensary Medical Association, 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. Raymund S. Hathaway, of Canton, Ohio, who went to Toronto to attend the races, slipped on a banana peel on King street, -as he was getting on a car. His left arm went under the car, which was in motion, and was horribly man- gled. He was taken to the general hospital,where the arm wasamputated at the elbow. Hathaway was insured only the day before in three different accident companies, entitling him to $50 per week. He is a married man with two children. FOR DIVORCE. A daily paper at Chicago publishes a sensational story from Washington to the effect that there is a rupture be- tween President Cleveland and his wife, that there are practically two families in the White House, and that Mrs Cleveland and the babies mightjust as well have had their residence in Boston for all of their society that the Presi- dent enjoyed. The President, it asserts, never sees Mrs Cleveland except upon the rare oc- casions when it becomes necessary for her to appear at some public function, a concession that she makes to him be- cause of her pride and desire to keep the tongue 01 gossip quiet. The rupture is claimed to be due to the personal convival habits of the President, which have given great of- fence to a woman like Mrs Cleveland, brought up in the strictest fashion. The despatch states that these habits of the President had induced a deter- mination on the.part of Mrs Cleveland to withdraw entirely from society dur- ing the rest of her stay in Washington.

A London cable to the New York Sun says:—"Miss Rye, a benevolent lady, who for years past has supplied Canada with a regular consignment of young waifs and strays, who, we are given to understand here, grow up into mothers of great and good citizens, and thus help to maintain the glories of the -Dominion, has been com- pelled to advertise for material. The sup- plies which the etreets and gutters of Lon- don and other cities have hitherto yielded in rank abundance has apparently failed at lest, though this is hard to understand. Probably Miss Rye has grown fastidious, er it may be the Canadian authorities have become less complaisant. At any rate, only Protestant girls will in future be al- lowed to assist in making Canada, and they must be between the ages of ten and sixteen, and healthy. But provided the young emigrants'religious dootrine'be orth- odox, and their bodies, sound, Miss Rye is not particular. The only other condition set forth in the advertisement is that the girls be 'fairly intelligent.' " I cured a horse of the mange by using MINARD'S LINIMENT. Dalhousie. CHRISTOPHER SAUN'DERS.

Y., says : • "Over thirty years ago, I remember hearing my father describe the wonder- ful curative effects of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. During a recent attack of La Grippe, whieli assnmed the form of a catarrh, soreness of the I u ngs, accom- panied by an aggravating cough, I used various remedies and prescriptions. While some of these medicines partially alleviated the coughing during tl `clay, none of them afforded mo any rel rom that spasmodic action of the lungs which would seize me the moment I attempted to lie down at night. After ten or twelve such nights, I was Nearly in Despair, and had about decided to sit up all night in my easy chair, and procure what sleep I could in that way. It then oc- curred to me that I had a bottle of Ayeris Cherry Pectoral. I took a spoonful of this preparation in a little water, and was able to lie down without coughing. In a few moments, I fell asleep, and awoke In the morning greatly refreshed and feeling much better. I took a teaspoonful of the Pec- toral every night tor a week, then grad- ually decreased the dose, and in two weeks my cough was cured." Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J. C.
