TIE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE

TBE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.
OH memories of green and pleasant places,
Where 1appy olrds their wood-notes twittered
Oh love that lit the dear, familiar faces
We buried long ago
from barren heights their sweetness we remember
Ana backward gaze with wistful yearning eyes,
as hearts regret mid snowdrifts of December,e
The summer s.sunns skies
Glad hours that seemed their rainbow tints to bor>
row, - s--s so ssrssr
from snow 1lumined page of fairy lore;
bIlgnt days that never lacked bright to morrow;
Days that return no more. ~ St "a aE.tI
Fair gardens with their many-blossoned alleys,
And red-ripe roses breathing out perfume;
DIM violet nooks in green sequestered valleys,
Empurpled DER with Gloom.
Sunsets that ligffts up the brown leaved beeches
Turning th cir dusy aIooms to shirnrn er-ng gold;
Moonlight that on he rivers fern-frnged reaches
Streamed, white-rayed, silvery cold.
Ger moorlands bleak we wander weary hearted,
Through many a tangled Wild and thorny maze
Remembering. as in. dreams. the days departed,
The bygone happy days. The ArgUsy.

Freeport, died, and his body laid in his fathers
house awaiting burial. In the afternoon. Mr..
Goeripg, accompanied by three sons and WI
liam Hines, went about four o'clock to the
cemetery on the hillside, back OF the town. to
select site for the grave of the dead man
While they were there storm came upon
them in ali its force. Louis Goering, one OF
the brothers, and William Hines stood toee!.n.er
under one umbrella, Jacob Goering, stood % oy
himself under another. The father ana the
third brother stood together without any; a a
fash OF lightning and deafenl1g crash OF
thunder came simultaneously. and did sucn
sad and terrible work as is rarely recorded.
Louis and Jacob Goeripg and William Hines
were instantly killed, and the father and bis
remaining son were severely shocked. 1t is
believed that the metal ferules on the umbrella
tops attracted the lightning which killed the
unfortunate holders. Thus, in one day, three
brothers were taken away by death and another
family was made desolate by the sudden taking
off OF the husband and father. Louis Goering

Improved in
QUALITY AND CONDITION.
The quality of this Gusno is materially i'm
proved this season by tho addition to its COM
position Of largo per cent Of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
Il is improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with f-cility and regularity through the

WHEAT DRILL.
Moro than 600 is involved in the pro-
duction of this Guano, and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Gusno Company has a far greater
interest in the mantsinsnce Of the quality OF its
Guano than any number of consumers can
have; hence no apprehension need exist rs to its
continued excellence.

uple Phosphate Of Lime (bones dissolved IN

most concentrated, universal and durable Ter
tilizer ever offered to the farmer-combning all

other smmoniacal guanos, but stimulating the

quantity per acre, however small; and it is the
farmers, after TWELVE years experience in
testing it side by side with other popular ferti-
