Nearing the Shore
BIZ LAURA LAKEWOOD.

An old man sits in a worn armchair;
White as the snow il his thin, soft hair,
Furrowed his brow by time and care,
And back and forth he sways.
Ihere'S far-aWay look in his dim, dim eve,
Which tells of thoughts of the long gone-by;
For he sits once more meath a sunny sky,
And in childhood merTiIy plays.
He rests his cheek ON the head of his cane,
And happily smiling, dreams over again
Of his home-the brook-the meadow-the
Dreams all with q vision clear;
1nen chlldhood yields unto manhood its place,
And he looks once more in 81 sweet, bright face,
And down in the starry eyes he trace
A love remembered and dear.
Then he wake $, and sighs: sit seems but
dream,
Or the shimmering glow of the sun Is last beam
But It's pleasant to think it DER.
That youth was sweet, but now is past;
Those days of love were too precious TO last,
But over yonder their pleasures are cast,
And am nearing that shore"
He is gliding on in his frail life-boat,
Ger the calm, still waters they peacefully float,
But echo full oft brings well-knoWn note
From the land he has left behind
But time will row back for him never more
And he gazes a-head to that other shore,
And knows when this voyage of life shall be DER
That this dream beyond he will find.
The seeds ofgood which in youth we sow,
All down through the isles of our future will
grow,
And sned on age a beautiful glow
As they come in 1nemoTy's CLEANS
Loved faces will come to a dimming sight:
SWeeI WoruS viii echo in day-dreams bright:
Iney Ii circle Old age with their haIoes OF light
AS they m1ngle In beautiful dreams.

Livirg BY Rule.

Alexander Roberts, born in Detroit
seventy years ago. died the other day in
Il eeds, England. His father took him to
England when but boy, and soon after
8 It him up in business, with the positive
injunction never to spend more than
eight shillings and sixpence a week
Roberts adhered closely to his instruc-
tlons from that time to his death He
construed the rule to to involve the rent
OF his store, and SO in little while, W hen
increasing business made him enlarge
his store, he gave up any outside home,
and lived and slept there. As rents rose,
and his business-second hand clothes
selling-increased, he had to cut down
his food expenses still lower, and to move
into narrower quarters. This he did
time and again, until at the close of last
simmer he was nearly starved to death.
His acquaintances finally one day found
hum prostrated entirely by the over
whelming filth of narrow home and lack
of all nourishing food. They persuaded
I'm to buy some medicine, but when he
got it, it only gave him an appetite He
could not afford to buy any food after
paying for the medicine, so wandered
olt to horsechestnut tree, and filled
.mself with the luscious fruit. He re-
turned to his home and died there. This
Is the brief story He was reputed to be
worth at least $780, 900, but his early VOW
was kept to the end, and so long as he
existed it was never at greater expense
than eight shillings and sixpence a week.
His instructions were to live for that
sum. and he thought he obeyed Yet
living for that sum caused his death, and
1T becomes a question for the logician
whether the man did not by dying DISC
bey orders. But what will be of more
interest to the unwise is the fact that
Roberts has left no heirs, except such
claims as can be advanced by natural
son, who is somewhere in America
Have we not claimant" among US

DIR. SAG5'S CATARRH REMEDY.
1t the only form of instrument yet invented with
which fluid medicine can be carried high up and
perfectly applied to all parts of the affected nasal pas
sages, and the chambers cavities communicating
which and ulcers frequently exist,
and from which the catarrhal discharge generally
proceeds. The want of success in treating catarrh
heretofore has arisen largely from the impossibity
of applying remedies to theso cavities and chambers
by any of the ordinary methods. This obstacle In
the way of effecting cures is entirely overcome by
the invention of the Douche- In using this instru

THROAT AND LUNGS!

1t is gratifying to us to inform the public that
DR.. L. Q. c. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial, for
Throat and Lung Diseases, has gained an en-
viable reputation from the Atlantic to the Pa
cfic coast, and from thence to some of the first
families of Europe, not through the press alone,
but by persons throughout the States actually
benefited and cured at his office. While he
publishes less, so say our reporters he is unable
TO supply the demand. 1t gains and holds its
reputation
First. Not by stopping cough, but by loosen
ing and assisting nature to throw off the un-
healthy matter collected about the throat and
bronchial tubes, aOhlch causes irritation
Second. 1t removes the cause of irritation
(Which produces cough) of the mucous mem
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs to
act and throw off the unhealthy secretions, and
DurifieS the blood.
Third. 1t is free from squills, lobelia, ipecac
and opium, of which most throat and lung
remedies are composed which allay cough only,
and diSoTganiZe the stomach. 1t has a soothing
effect on the stomach, acts on the liver and
Kidneys and lymphatic and nervous regions,
thus reaching to every part of the system, and
in its inVigOrating and purifying effects it has
gained q reputation which it must hold above
all others in the market.

An honest old Pennsylvania farmer
had a tree on his premises he wanted cut
down, but being weak in the back, and
having a dull ak, he hit upon the follow
ing plan: Knowing the passion among
his neighbors for coon hunting, he made
a coon's foot out of potato, and proceed
ed to imprint numerous tracks to and up
the tree. When all ready he informed
his neighbors that the tree must be filled
with coons, pointing to the external evil
dence made with his potato foot. The
bait took, and in short time half a doz-
en- fellows, with sharp axes, were chop
ping at the base of the tree, each taking
his regular turn. The party also brought
dogs and shot guns, and were in ecstasies
over the anticipated haul of fat coons.
The tree finally fell, but not coon was
seen to drop"
