HOME REFLECTIONS.

They tell me I am growing old,
That youths glad hours have passed away
And hope may never more unfold
Her rosy chapIet, mid the cold
And darkness of LIES winter day.
They talk to ne Of withered flowers,
Which thickly round my pathEay lie;
Aud bid me count the weary hours,
Nor dream again ofleafy bowers,
Beneath dreary, winter sky.
heed them not, for we'll know,
Mid all lifo's minglng hopes and fears,
There is q spell that still can throw,
Zen round old age, sunny glow,
Untarnished by the lapse of years.
LIES winter eometh no. alone,
With lettering step and hOary hair
When joys bright visions all have Aown,
And loves sweet Tyre has lost its tone,
lis winter alwayE-eyeryWhsre
When they, on whom our hopes were hung.
From our dim paths have passed away,
The sorrow stricken heart, though young,
FEELS, cen earih's gaysst scenes among,
That life is bat winter day.
To such q heart, tho music breath
Ofsummer and the Wild birds lay,
Arc echoes from the land OF death
Aud low voice still whispereth
Of lies young captures passed away.
But they who have not learned to pine
Ger yourg affections withered flowers,
Zen in old age wreath may twine,
OF myrtle and o. Byzantine,
And May-rose, ealled from springs bright bowers
The fight Of years may dim the eye,
And bid the cheeks rich bloom depart;
Yet If the 10. Cd ones stan arc nigh,
A veTnal radiance lights the skJ,
yernal warmth CLOVIS round the heart
What though springs sweet and glitterin5 tArong
OfAowers greet not the falling sight
70 the duh ear no more belong
The music Of the wild birds song,
When earth Is green AID skies are bright.
Yet love can al things elfe outlast,
Give rapture to life's evening homo
And round our fading moments east
The memory Of spring that's past,
The promise Of spring to come

1 will guaranty that any practical Miller can, at
the first trial if he will try, dress pair Of BuIrs in

hand-pick now in use and that the work done by
the machine shall be better than be done by Minis

The machine makes clean, clear thrsad-like mark,
and does not brittle up break the face of the stone
1t can BIO controlled tho will of the operator in
stantly to mako the most delicate lick or one with
the force of ton pounds required. Every practical
Miller knows that stone Is only required to BIO dress
ed where the proof staff indicates This be done
by the machine, no matter how brittle or tender or
how close and hard the face or place the stone
may be- the operator can face it down, or touch as
lightly as he peascs. There are three very good
sons for trying them
First With fair use the machine will last twenty
years Second It is complete within itself and will
not take FIVE minutes, nor cost five cents to try it
Third give with the machine thirty TOOLS or pick
blades which will last any two pair Of stones, to be
dressed twice week, for two years, and then any
good smith con replace them for twenty Ave cents
apiece.
l have used this machine in my mill for nearly
fourteen months, to dress both the face and the fur
