When the story of the great Black
Friday bubble is rewritten, the death Of
George Van Eek, who lately poisoned
himself at the Hoffman House, New

the stock brokers. Mr.. Van Eek had
lost $40, 900 in the collapse, the sole resi-
due of a large English property, and
from that day sank rapidly to his

EVA SHERMAN.


II AAhI -
just over the way, across the street,
Dwells Eva Sherman, so fair and sweet;
Plt-a-pst, all day, go her little feet,
In the house, the yard, and garden.
SUester to rs than song Of bird;
Swseter than musical strains we've heard,
And oh far more to be preferred,
Is the voice Of Eva Sherman.
Not blue, ike the sunny summer skies,
But dark and bright are her gleeful eyes;
And oh you must needs be woudrOus wise,
To answer her many questions.
Not long ago, the beautiful snow
Concluded to visit the earth, and 50
From above it came to the earth below,
Softly as footballs Of angels.
All through the still and starry night,
The fsathery fakes, like fairies bright,
We're busy, weaving robe of white
To array the earth in beauty.
Tho morning dawned; what sweet Earpriss
Frightened Eya's beautiful eyes,
When she saw the earth in its bright new guse
So wondrously white and spotless.
And her gIeefuI eyes grew still more bright
A knowing look, like fash Of light,
Dawnsd in her face, and she cried with delight

EARACHE.-This is said to be a certain
cure for the earache: AS soon as any
soreness is felt in the ear, let three or
four drops of the tinoture of srnica be
poured in,and the orifce be filled with a
little cotton to exclude the air, and in a
short time the uneasiness is forgotten.
If the arnica be not resorted to until
there is actual pain, the cure may not be
as speedy, but it is just as certain, al
though it may be necessary to repeat the
operation. 1t is a sure preventive
against gathering in the ear, which is
the usual cause of earache.

ter himself: and instead Of working
he had men to look after it, and do
it for him. He has brought nice
row of houses, from which he
receives sufficient to keep him with
out work the remainder of his days,
and in handsome "Villa" which
he has lately had built, to which he
has retired, he may sometimes be
seen reclining on an easy chair,
viewing with evident satisfaction,
through the drawing room window,
a "cherry tree" which he planted in
the garden with his own hands to
"grow his own cherries" His son
Tommy is now practising as a medi-
cal man, with a good connection;
and the rest of the children have
been well educated; added to all
this, he and his wife, as far as prae-
ticable, are hearty supporters of the

blessing of God, have become con-
sistent members of a Christian
