THOUGHTS AT THE OLD
HOMESTEAD.
BY F. J. 0TTERsON

BY +. J. OTTERSON-
Oh God ] thank thee; once again
NV wandering feet have borne me home,
Through many year Of joy and pain
I've had, aud yet may have, to roam.
A cherished purpose Of my heart.
That ever cleaned along my way
That in The darkest hours would s.urt
To cheer me, is fulfilled 10 day.
The trees that wave above me now
The stream that murmurs q, mv feet
Tire hreeze,hai cools my 1hrobbing brow
The wildwood birds that sing SO sweet.
The stately evergrcens. that rise
Like fadeless Hope DER all below,
Sill pointing 10 The azure skies
The shinias path we all will 90.
Tie very clnuds that shade The wood,
While here and here The sun looks ,hro',
Like happy Thoughts in solilude,-
Nj seem the same my boyhood knew.
There the old roof, beneath whose shade
On Lies rough journey lotterine slow
My inihn' feet TO step ossaysd,
And first distractions learned TO know.
There the same chair, that year BY wear
Our Grandsire's sIalwart form upborc;
The latch he raised still clicking here,
Oh, could he raise that latch once more !
: was his latest pride and joy,
Dwell iu his heart, and when cold death
Called him to bliss wi,hou, ALLOW,
My name was on his dying breath.
Ten chanseful years have passed away.
And Goi--more kind than Just to me
Hath let me live 10 see 10 day
The refuge Of my infancy.
Beneath the old familiar trees
Alone sit. mud Iears Of love
Fall through The solemn signing breeze
For those who watch me from above.
Oh, Memory letthy magic glass
Evoke the phan'oms of the lost,
And while The sacred shadows pass
Ill worship those loved the mos,
Dear, sain,ed Shade behold thy son,
: His hearts, all a child's again.
Ger monhood's check his ciid.tears run
And damp pthy earth like scorcbing rain
Here, for an hour, my thirsty soul.
2eDraws nectar from Oblivion's sea-
We. reach at last our sacred goal
The altar built BY Memory.

FROM MExIco.-We find in the ~ o. Plea

Mexico which we overlooked on Saturday,
The next arrival from that country must bring
news of the highest mportance-eilhera spec

hostilities will take place. for we do not be-
lieve our present commissioners will suffer the
Mexicans to procrastinate. The letter is da-
ted
CRY OF MEXICO, April 10, 1913.
It's reported on the authority of the Pro
gresso, the 'Puro" pape published at Quere-
taro, that Pena y Pena has asked that -four
months be now allowed him TO obtain a rati-
fication of the treaty. can learn of no other
authority for the report, and am disposed to
doubt its truth; for if Pena Pena is DESTROYS
of the ratification OF the treaty, his only pros
pect Of succeeding is by pressing the subject
upon Congress Immediately. 1t is added, too,
that the Mexicans have great hopes Of obtain
ing concessions and notifications of the trea-
ty as approved by the Snnate of the u. States,
from our own Commissioner or Commission
ers, and if they were TO be guided BY The past
as had occasion TO observe in former letter,
they would procrastinate negotiation. or con-
tinue the war, in the conviction that the more
the one was procrastinated, or the longer the
other vas continued, the greater would be their
ultimate advantage. have, however, strong
hopes that neither Mr.. Sewer or Mr.. Clifford
will permit any triaing on the part of the Mex
leans, but will tell them at once without par
ley, "Gentlemen, here are our terms-accep pit
them or reject them as you think proper. We
are conquerors, and have and will exercise the

RHEUMATISM AND GoUT,--Wright's Indian
Vegetable Pills are most extraordinary medicine
for the cure of Rheumatism and Gout because
they not only cleanse the stomach and bowels of
those morbid humors, which if taken into the cir
culation and thrown upon the membrane and mus
Gle, are the cause Of the above painful maladies;
but they excite the absorbent vessels to take up
that which is already deposited, and are therefore
absolutely certain to make perfect cure of Gou
and Rheumatism. A single rs cent box of said
Indian Vegetable Pills will often give the most
astonishing relief; and perseverance, according
to directions will be certain to drive pain of every
description from the body.
| BEWARE OF Communicating ONLY oRrGI-
NAL AND GENUINE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS HAVE
THE SIGNATURE OF WILLIAM WRIGHT WRITTEN
WITH A PEN ON THE TOP LABEL OF EACH BOX. None
other is genuine, and to counterfeit This is FORGERY.

Looking at the pas, political history Of Mis-
