Poetry.
OLD TIM K 9.

There's beautiful song on the slumberous q
Tbat drifts through the valley OF dreams;
II comes from cline where The rsses were,
And a tuneiul heart and bri. ht brown hair.
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes OF azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there;
gimmering cross, gltterirg crown,
thorny bel and couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer
A breath Of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet walls from the qGivery pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods
A bubble II brooklets, a scent Of buds,
Bird warblers and clambering vines,
A rosy wreath and dimpled hand,
ring and a sighted VOW
Three golden links Of a broken band,
tiny track on the snow.white sand,
tear and sinless brow.
There's tincture Of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs on the slumbering air
And loneliness felt in the festive tbrong,
Sinks down on the soul as il trembles along
From cline where the roses were.
We heard It first at the dawn Of day
And II mingled with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay.
And its melody loweth from far away.
And We call II now Old Times.

spRrgeon on the War Pain.

That original and unique preacher,
Spurgeon, has lately made one Of his char
aeterIstic tulminations. The European
war has exercised him TO that extent that
be has addressed letter to Napoleon and
Eine William, in which he takes those bel
icose gentlemen tartly to task for their lit.
tie quarrel and scrinuage.
Spurgeon rises above the nice questions
of Court diplomacy and sticks to his
Bible-taught humanity. he is eminently
practical. He makes a stiff argument, ad
tonlne1p, that will bear reproduction, He
taas quoths:

Niagara Falls-Where the Cataract will
be in 5000 Years.

The beauty of mathematics will be
apparent to the naked eye from cal
culations which we find iu Ha"per'S
1Hdga=tne. The writer has been to
Niagara Falls and he informs us of
some little matters which it is well
to fully understand. "As the fall
recedes little more than q foot a
year-about mile" says the cont
trlbutor, sand examining the charac-
ter Of the rocks and the dip of the
strata, we can predict the appear
ance which Niagara will present for
200 centuries, providing that in the
meantime no change takes place in
the present order Of nature. Thus,
in 5000 years the main fall will be a
little above the head of Goat Island !;
the American fall will have disap-
pearcd and Goat Island will be an
island no longer. The height of the
fall will then be twenty feet less than
it now is, Another 5000 years and
tho height Of the fall will then be
reduced by forty moro feet. In 10,-
600 moro years the gorge will have
heightened back to the head Of the
rapids, and all that constitutes the
present Niagara will have disappear
ed. There will be no great cataract /;
but in its place a rapid, with de-
/ scent of 80 feet in four miles," 1t
may be well enough to discourage
sensitive Americans regarding their
greatest natural curiosity but there
are vast numbers who will exclaim
Of the person who worked out the
above, that they are COMPOUNDED
mean Suppose the calculations are
true; what is the use Of making
them, anyhow?

THE HERALD.
what a Half Acre VIII Do.

Dr Peck states in tho Now York
Tyzuae. that a shoemaker over in
Jersey bought half acre lot. He
yas fond OF fruit and read the pa
ners. The soil was wet clay, and he
selected fruit to the climate. He
buiIt q house and put his land in q
condition to produce fruit. To had
no manure but the droppings of
street cattle. In his leisure. he
brought from the woods, bark, rot
ten wood, moss and leaf mould,
which he mixed with the soil three
feet deep. This was done by de-
grees, and as fast as the ground was
prepared he planted fruit. He be-
came SO Interested and successful
that he retired from the cobbler's
bench The doctor says | was his
neghbor and knew him intimately.
His half acre supported himself and
wife comlortably--and almost in ele-
rance. She had no servants, and
had plenty Of time TO cultivate Aow-
ers. Strangers inquired about their
beautiful homo. Isabella grapes and
common currants formed the bulk
Of his fruit. With better selection
his income would have been larger.
Others had the same success on small
pieces Of ground. One who support
cd his family on an acre; half was
in grapes, the crop Of which, in one
season, sold for $500 and he had no
bills 70 pay.

WHISKY HAS BEAT HIM.--There is
scarcely a community or neighbor-
hood from Maine to Oregon, where
this saying is not used, almost every
day in the year, and is altogether too
true. A subject Of this kind is to be
found in almost any town. The mer-
chant has failed and whisky has done
it. The lawyer with brilliant tai
ents and large business, has fallen
below the range Of responsibility
and confidence; whisky was the
cause. The politician, with bright
prospects before him, has played out,
and the account is charged to whis-
ky. The judge, of talent, age and
responsibility is the subject of priv
ate and neighborhood talk. His one
mics point with derision, and his
friends hang their head in shame, and
whisky has done it. That kind
hearted neighbor, and Woodworking
man has become pest in society,
and trouble to his family. Whisky
has beat him. Whisky will beat any
man living, and that is Just what il
was made for.-Erchange.
The above should be read by ev.
cry doctor, lawyer, merchant, editor
and business man. 1t is a true pic
ture.

Hot Water for Drinking Purposes.

DIR. Letheby, in an article on the
water supply of London, states that
the water of moderate hardness. like
that used in London, Paris. Vienna.
and other European cities, is always
TO be preferred to that which is en-
tlrely soft, as being best suited for
domestic purposes, on account of be-
ing brighter to the eye, and more
agreeable to the taste. He also
makes the singular announcement
that the French authorities are so
well satisfied of the superiority of
hard water that they pass by that
OF the sandy plains, near Paris, and
go lar away TO the chalk hills Of
Champagne, where they find water
even harder than that of London :
giving as a reason for the preference
that more Of the conscripts from the
soft water districts are rejected, on
account Of the want of strength of
muscle, than from the hard water
districts, from which they conclude
that the calcareous matter is tavora-
Die to the formation Of tissues.
DIR. Letheby further states that
the mortality in England is greater
on an average, in places where soft
water is used, other circumstances
being equal than where the water is
hard and it is suggested that the
sparkling hard waters of the lime
stone districts are relished, not only
because they are pleasant to the eye,
but on account of some hygienic
properties in the excess of carbonic
ACID they contain, and possibly be-
cause the percentage of lime acts
incidentally upon the system. The
Doctor concludes by expressing his
preference for the very slightly hard
water Of London over a softer quail.
