Moving DAYS.

The bright sun of these March days,
shining as it does on the snow-c covered
earth, tells of the coming spring. Spring
is the season. of life and joy-the sub
ject of the school-boy's composition, the
time of buds and flowers, and more i'm
portant still the season of house hunting
and of moving days Men are going
about the streets inquiring for houses "to
let" and women are bustliug, talking and
scolding. preparatory to leaving the old
res sidence for the new The daughter,
just blooming into womanhood, forms lit
tie plans about the new bonnet, or the
new dress she is going to were when
"papa" has changed his place, and gone
into some handsomer house or more re-
spectacle streets. Such is life, or rather
such is life viewed from this particul ar
stand point. All of our existence in this
world, is one long, active, bustling NOV
ing day. We are going from the cradle
to the coffin, from life to death, from this
world to that of the eternal. Some are
carrying with them an immense deal of
luggage that will not be admitted into
the "house not made with hands" That

house in the feebleness of age, cannot
take his money with him when he goes
on that long, long journey. That jealous
christian who never saw any good out
side of himself or party, may just as well
throw away his bigotry and intolerance,
his hypocrisy, and deceit for ST. Peter
won't let him "enter in through the gates
into the city" with these things on his
shoulders. Any one who has ever NOV.
ed knows what nuisance it is to have
too much lumber, and useless luggage on
hand. How the housekeeper raves when
she explores the old garret, and finds nc
end to the "trash" that must be
taken up and piled under the roof of the
new home How she wishes the devi
would take this thing and that, she dom

her sight forever Now the lumber thai
some people are trying to take to the mex
world to store up in that long home, i.

Friends throw it away. Unlike the lum
Der in the old garret it never can be o
any use. The luggage that you move
with great trouble into your new house
may under certain circumstances come
into play" or at least help to kindle you
! fire. But all the heavy burdens you arr
trying to take with you to heaven, viii
never do you any good; and if you are no
careful may keep you yourself on the out
side of the gate, and store you away il

A letter written by the late Gov An
drews, three days before his death, closes
as follows +; 1.-The tendency of the hour
is toward Grant. And that is best. 1t
is not the ideal good. 1t is bad for the
country that he must leave his present
POSTPAID for him, the soldier, to try and
endure the hard fate which awaits him,
in civil life. But it is the apparently
best practical good the country can have.
And Grant is so square and honest man
that | believe he is bound to be right in
the main everywhere"

Walton. where he is fully prepared to treat
fhe natural teeth, and also to insert incorrup-

persons knew the danger and folly of trust
ing their work to the ignorant as well as
che travelling dentist. 1t matters not how
much experience person may have, he Is
liable to have some failures out of a number
of cases, and if the dentist lives at distance
it is frequently put off until it is too late to
save the tooth or teeth as it may be, othe r
wise the Inconvenience and trouble of going
so far. Hence the necessity of obtaining the
services of dentist near home. All work
