There's beautiful song on the slumbrous air,
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;
It comes from the cline where the roses ere
And tuneful heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes Of brown,
And white foreheads are there,
A gimmering Cross and glittering Crown,
A thorny bed and couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer
4 breath Of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the quivering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
i bubble Of brooklets, scent OF buds
Bird warblers and Laundering vines.
rosy wreath and dimpled hand
A ring and q sighted vow,
Three golden links Of q broken band,
A tiny track on the snow white sand,
A tear and sinless brow.
There's 9 t.ncture Of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs Oh the slumbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul 90 it trembles along
From cline where The roses were.
We heard 1t first at the dawn Of day,
And it mingled with matin chimes,
But years have distanced The beautiful lay,
And its melody doweth from far away,
And we call it now Old Times.

BENEFITS OF MATRIMONY.

Cory O'Lanus argues the advantages
Of married life over boarding" Institutions
from the following standpoint:
Single blessedness is not good for : mar
ried man of mature years.
He gets along very we'll a for little while
until his first fortnight's washing is brought
home, when he begins to realize the value
of matrimony by the absence Of shirt but
tons.
Man can never be an Independent crca-
sure unit the necessity for buttons can be
dispensed with.
In boarding house ian has consid :
cradle conceit taken out Of him.
His interest in the establishment is limi-
ted authority he has none.
His landlady agrees to fodder him tvo
or three times a day and stables him at
night somewhere on the third floor.
He can't complain Of the coffee, O.
growl if the potatoes are undone.
IF he doesn' Ike it he. can leave it.
There are other boarding houses, and he
has a choice OF evils.
In the evening he has al tie world be-
fore him.
He has perfect liberty Of ohoice between
his bedroom nd the street,
There is the parlor to be sure; but the
young lady who has s.eady company is al
ready there.
You go in and the damsel looks daggers.
Her young man looks as though he
would like to punch your head.
IF you are possessed Of sensitive and
sympathetic nature, you can't resist this
mute but eloquent appeal.
Especially when it comes home to you,
as it does to me, that there was time
when you were similarly situated.
How would you have liked it yourself?
There is no alternative but to remember
that you "have an appointment" seize
your hat and rush out into the street.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS THEORY rs FiTH
Faraday adopts Flourin's physiological thc-
DRY that the natural age of man is one
hundred years. The duration Of life he
believes to be measured by the time Of
growth. When once the bones and epiphy-
aes are united, the body grows no more.
and it is at twenty years that It's oo-
lon Is Effected in man. n the camel it
takes place at eight, in the horse at five,

Of life is FIVE removes from these several
points. Man being twenty years in grow
ing, lives five times twenty years, that is,
one hundred; the camel is eight years in
growing. and lives I've times eight years;
the horse ig five years in growing and he
lives twenty-five years; and go with other
