I'm Growing Old,

Nv DAYS pass pleasantly away,
Ny nights are blessed with sweetest slce
feel no symptoms of decay,
have no cause To mourn or weep
NY foes are impotent and shy,
Ny friends are neither false or colt.
And yet Of late, often sigh
I'm growing old!
My growing talk Of olden times,
My growing thirst for early news,
My growing apathy,
MY growing love for easy shoes;
My growing hate of crowds and noise.
My growing fear OF catching cold
All tell me la the plainest voice
I'm growing old
Pm growing innder of my stan,
I'm growing DINNER in the eyes.
I'm growing fainter i'm my laugh,
I'm growing deeper In my sighS;

I'm growing frugal ol my gold
I'm growing wise, I'm growing yrs

A thousand hints pr 'claim the truth,
As plain as truth was ever told.
That even in my haunted youth
I'm growing old!
All me the very laurels breathe
The tale IN my releniless ears;
And every boon the hours bequeaih
Bni makes me debtor to the years;
Even Flaitery's honeyed words declare
The seornt she would fain withhold,
And tell me In "How young you arer'
I'm growing old
Thanks for the years whose rapid night
MY sonber muse too gladly sings:
Thanks for the CLEANS Of golden light
That tint the darkness of their wings:
The light that beams from out the SKY
Those heavenly mansions to unfold,
Where all are blest, and none may Sigh

Pure Air.

From her bountiiul stores, nature has
provided substances which purity filthy
localities and remove nauseous smells.
Some of these substances destroy the disa.
greeable odors but do not arrest decay,
hence those odors would return constant
y, as long as any Of the substance re-.
NAMED which was the source of the
evil. Chlorine removes the bad smell
from putrid meat, but it will return in a
few hours. A London chemist has ascer-
tained the fact that if a piece of fresh
meat is coated with substance distilled
from coal and mixed with sulphurous
acid, called carbolic acid, it will prevent
the meat from deeaying, and that such
meat after being kept two or three months
is, if cooked as sweet and fresh as meat
Just purchased from the butchers stand !;
hence, chlorine deodorizes, that is, only
takes away the bad smell for the present,
but decay still goes on. Carbolic acid
not only destroys the bad odor but pre-
vents decay, arrests it, and is thus deo-
dorizer and disinfectant combined il
takes from a substance its polluting char
acter its power to make sick, to commu-
nicate disease. The practical lesson to be
impressed on the mind by these ltate.
ments is, that a deodorizer does no more
than take away the i'll odor of substance
or locality, temporarily; a disinfectant
not only destroys that odor but prevents
its return, by changing that condition Of
the substance from which the odor came
in a manner which does not allow the pro.
cess to 60 on which gave rise to the odor
A disiufectant also takes from thing its
power to cure disease 1t seems that car.
bolic acid is the most perfect dcodorizer
and disinfectant yet made known to man.
