How 1t Happened.
BY JOHN HAY.

T pray thee pardon me, Elsie,
And smile that frOwn away
That dims the light of your lovely face
AS thunder cloud the day.
really could not help it
Before thought twas done.
And those great gray eyes flashed bright
and cold,
Like all icicle in the sun.
1 was thinking of the summers,
When we were boys and girls,
And wandering in the blossomine
woods, .,
And the gay winds romped with your
curls, 49,.
And you seemed to me the same httl'
girl
I kissed in the alder-path.
I kissed the little girls lips, and alas!
have reused Woman's wrath.
There is not so much to PARDON
For why were your lips so red
The blonde hair fell in a shower OF gold
From the proud, provoking head,
And the beauty that flashed from the
splendid eyes.
And played round the tender mouth,
Rushed over my soul like a warm, sweet
wind
That blows from the fragrant South.
And where, after all, is the harm done
believe we were made to be gay,
And all of youth not given to love
Is vaInly squandered away,
And strewn through life's low labors,
Like gold in the desert sands,
Are loves swift kisses and sighs and
vows,
And the clasp of clinging hands.
And when you are old and lonely,
In memory's magic shrine
You will see on your thin and wasting
hands,
Like gems, these kisses of mine.
And when you muse at evening,
At the sound of some vanished name,
The ghost of my kisses shall touch your
lips,
And kindle your heart to flame.

Mr.. EDITOR In your last paper,
you cast some dark reflections on our
street lamps. But let me say that they
were lately run in full blast every night
for nearly week, but some one in look
ing over the almanac, said now moon
was daily expected, and as that was
cheaper and less explosive than kerosene,
our village authorities ordered the lights
suspended But Notwithstanding the
darkness of our streets, $4,000 per acre
was lately offered and refused for land

What did it?-Is no longer the ques-
ton since the introduction of Centaur
Llniment. When we meet an old friend
who has been shelved with rheumatism,
or see a person mangled underneath a
rail car, and restored to shape and come
illness, we now knew that it is the Gen.
taur Llniment that does the work. No
other article ever did perform such mir
icles. There is no swelling it will not
soften, no pain it will not soothe, OF
lameness it will not cure. 1922
