An. 81 Ia jeunesse sarait--si la pieiilesse poupaH
There sat an old man on a rock,
And unccasipg bewailed him Of Fate
That concern where we all must take stock,
Though our vote has no hearing nor weight;
And the old man sang him an old, old
song
Never sang voice SO clear and strong
That it could drown the old mans song,
For he sang the song, ''Too late Too latc!'
"wlen we want, We have for onr pains
The promise that is we but wait
Till the want has burned out Of our brains,
Every means shall be present to state;
While We send for the napkin the soup
gets cold;
While the bonnet is trimming the face
grows old;
When we've matched our buttons, the
pattern is sold,
And every thing comes TOO late--too late.
"When strawberries seemed like red heavens,
Terrapin stew wild dream;
" hen my brain was at skies and sevens,
If my mother had folks and ice-cream
Then gazed with lickcrish hunger,
At the restaurant man AMI fruit-monger;
But oh! how | wished l was younger,
When the goodies all come in stream-in
strcam
"Tve a splendid blood horse, and liver
That it jars into torture to trot;
My row>boats the gem OF the river
Gout makes every knucklo knot.
l can buy honndless credit on Paris and
Rome
But no palate for menfs-no eys for dome
Those belonged to the youth VIII must
tarry at home
When no home but an attic he u got-he j
got.
GLOW longed, in that lonest of garrets,
Where the tiles baked my brains all July,
For ground &c grow two pecks of carrots,
Two pigs ofmy own. in sty,
A rose bush, little thatched cottage,
Two spoons, love, basin of pottage;
Now in freestone l sit--and my dutage-
With q womans chair empty close by
close by.
"Ah! now though sit on rock
have sha red one seat with the Great
l have sat, knowing naught Of the clock,
On loves high throne Of state;
But the lips that kissed, and the arms
that carcssed,
To q mouth grown stern with delay,
were pressed,
And circled breast tha. their clasp had
blessed,
Had they only not come too late-too late"

Of honor? And you, my comrades,

also, that the offerings we bring arc

lives OF those we honor, as well as the
immortal beauty of their noble deeds.
We must always bear in mind the
teachings Of history, that however

Cooling MILK.-N u, from
Bracebrldge, writes: In perus-
ing the reports of the Dairy
mems Convention, | see it re-
commended that milk for max
inc butter should be cooled by
artificial means. l always un-
derstood that cream will not
rise after milk becomes cold
gradually. Perhaps you can
inform me which is the better
way
In recommending the cooling
10 milk, it is not intended that
it should be made cold. The
utmost that can usually be ac-
conplished in summer time is
to reduce the temperature some
what below sixty degrees. 1T is
not likely that any practical diff
ticulty will arise from cooling
milk too rapidly. A free expos
ure to air, and the removal of
animal odors are essential
points, which will perhaps be
secured, where separating the
cream and making butter are
the objects, by gradual cool
ing; but for making cheese on
the factory plan it is generally
necessary to reduce the temper
ature as quickly as possible

An old Indian hunter says that over
forty years ago there came, in October,
while the leaves were yet green on the
trees, heavy fall of snow like that of last
month. 1t remained on the ground
about a month, when there came a
heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, which carried off the snow en-
tirely. The ground then remained bare,
and the Indians" walked on frozen leaves"
till about the time of sugar-making, when
snow again fell to the depth of two feet.
We sometimes meet with simple

We Live In Three Climates.

In this country we have at different seasons OF
the year. the temperature Of three climates. Our
Springs and AutHmns have a softness and mild
ness that belong only to the Temperate Zones
our Midsummers are torrid and our Mid-winters
almost arctic in their frigidity. These changes,
involving variation of from ninety to one hun
bred degrees of Fahrenheit during the year, are
upon the whole conducive to health and long life,
but they tend to entail upon us some distressing
complaints which can only be escaped by the eX-
ercise of due care and the Of proper antidotc
When the system is pre-disposed to contract them.
The chief and most annoying Of these disorders Is
dyspepsia, once supposed to be incurable but
which, since the introduction OF HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BlrTERS, now about twenty years
ago, has proved to be perfectly manageable
disease
In the Spring and Fall, but more especially In
the Fall, the symptoms of dyspepsia are generally
aggravated. The proiuse expenditure OF the ami
mai fluids under the burning sun OF Summer, is
apt to leave the stomach weak and indolent and
incompetent to the task Of perfect digestion. IL

idea that The disorder coud not be radically cured.
The success OF HOSTEITElGS Bl1TERS in all the
varieties of dyspepsia, acute or chronic, has eec-
tually exploded this talacy and 1t IL now recon-
mended az specific for Indigestion by some of the

Isaac S. Geer, of Lisbon, Conn, in

after while hit upon this admirable
plan: He opened the lower end of the
