One is that they have no business, and
the second that they have no minds.

at the same time, making it please ev

A CLERGYMAN, meeting little boy

The "Ague."

Once upon an evening bleery,
While sat me dreaming dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking Ger
Things that passed in days of yore;
While | nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came in something creeping,
Creeping upward from the Hoor.
"'Tls a cooling breeze" muttered,
From the regions meath the floor;
Only this and nothing more.
Ali distinctly remember
IL was in the wet September,
When the earth and every member
HAD M ote for weeks S and months been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rain that, without joking,
We had ever seen before,
so know II must be very
Cold and damp beneath the floor
Very cold beneath the floor.
In the sunshine, Stretching, gaping,
And a feeling quite delighted
with the breeze from meath the tloor,
TIL felt me growing colder,
And the stretching waxing bolder,
And myself now feeling older,
Older than felt before
Feeling that my joints were sitter
Than they were In days Of yore-
Stiiier than they'd been before.
All along my back the creeping.
Soon gave place TO rushing. leaping
As II countless frozen demons
Had concluded TO explore
All Ine eCtNutlts-tuc
'Twixt me and my neither garments,
Through my boots into the hoor
Then found myself a shaking
Gently shaking more and more.
Twas the Ague, and 1t shook me
Into heavy clothes, and took me
Shaking to the kitchen-every
Every place there was warmth IN store,
Shaki Ing till the china ratified;
Shaking, and with all my warming,
Feeling colder than before;
Shak ing tflI IL had exfausted
All its powers to shake me more
Till 1t could not shake me mole.
Then II rested till the morrow,
When 1t came with all the horror
That II had the face to borrow
Shaking shaking as before.
And from that day in september
Day which shall long remember
II has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking, oh how sore!
Shaking off boots, and shaking
Ne TO bed IL nothing more,
Fully this If nothing moie.
And to-day the shadows fitting
Round by cottage see me sitting
Moodily within the sunshine
Just inside my silent door
Waiting for the ague seeming
Like a man forever dreaming,
And the sunlight on me streaming,
Shadows no shadows on the fioor,
For am too hin and SALON
10 make shdd0rs on the floor.
Nary shadow-any more!

CEVEN REASONS WHY
Is THE BEST LINIMENT IN THE WORLD


FIRsr-It is composed of the most POWERFUL
and ESETRATISG liquids known In Chemistry
SFCOSD.-Combined with the above Is MEDI-
CINAL OIL, made expressly for this Liniment,
and mixed by an entirely new process.
THIRD.-Ihe use of the poiUerfiH and penetrating
Ingredients is to drive or force in this beautiful
MEDICINAL OIL, which lubrlcates the Joints and
muscles and Immediately throttles the disease,
and compels 1t to loosen its deathly, slckening
and poisonous iangs.
FoURTH.-This MEDICINAL OIL is used for the
same reason that good mechanic always uses
Oil-to make his machinery work with ease and
precision. so in the same way the muscles and
Joints of our animals should be fabricated II we
wish to have them travel with rapidity and ease.
FlFTU.-lt Is very soothing in Its action, VIII
not burn or blister the animal like most of the
| "r6d hot" liniments of the day
SIXrII.-Not one drop OF ttncture of cayenne
or red pepper can he found in its composition
| for we hold that no liniment can be effective
which burns and blsters the animal until the
muscles aie hard and dried almost TO n crisp.
| SEYEETu.-EyeTy bottle is wARRA NTED TO give
good satisfaction, or your money will be refund-
| ed. This shows conclusively that the proprie-
| tors have full confidence in this preparation
| and proves for the seventh time that @. Il. s. s.

wearing walking dresses. Everybody. that IS,

A writer in the Gardeners Magazine says
that Lord Macaulay's speeches were like Lord
Br0ugham's written out beforehand, learned
by rnte, and then poured forth i'll the House
Of Commons apparently without anything but
the very slightest appreciation or meaning.
There are but two speeches of Macaulny's that
make any pretension to be impromptus--that
in reply to orator Hunt on the Anatomy bill,
and that on the war with China and it does
not require the eye of critic to trace out con
siderable passages even in these that had been
iotted down Mt his desk and turned over in his
memory in the course of his walk from Lin
coin Inn to the House. This habit of pre-
pairing his speeches grew upon him so strongly
in the course of years that it was a positive
pain and embarrassment to him at last to be
called upon to speak even a dozen sentences
| otf-hand.
