"The Yellow Cottage"
BY MARIAN DOUGLAS.

BY MARIAN DOUGLAS.
Mid fields with useless daisies white,
Between a river and wood,
With not another house in sight,
The low-rooted yellow cottage STOOD
Where /,
Long years ago, a little mail. ,,,od
Through all lies rosy morning pi"'e"
No other child the region knew
My only playmate was mysei3;
And all our books, q treasurer lew,
We gathered ON a single smell,
Not wealth a king might prize could be
What those old volumes were to me!
On winter nights beside the fire,
In summer, sitting in the door,
turned, with love that did not tire,
Their well-worn pages Ger and DER;
In me.
Though sadly fallen, it is true,
Their heroines all lived anewl
One day, about my neck ruff
Of elder flowers with fragrant breath,
L was, with conscious pride enough
To suit the part, Elizabeth:
The next,
Ensnared by many willy plots,
sighed, the hapless Queen of Scots!
Where darling swallows used to fit,
Close to me, on some jutting rocks,
Above the river would sit
Fer hours, and wreath my yellow locks,
And trill
A child's shrIll song and. singing, play
1t was a sirens witching lay.
On Sundays, underneath the tree
That overriding the orchard wall,
While watching, one by one, TO see
The ripe, sweet apples fall,
tried
NV very best to make believe
was in Eden and was Eve!
Oh. golden hours! when l to-day,
Would make a truce with care,
No more Of queen. in bright array,
DIRE m, or sirens fair;
In thought,
am again the little maid
Who round the yell cottage played!

EXPLOSIONS.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "a, 1873.
I SELDOM, if ever, pick up a newspaper without
l. seeing, among the first items that arrest my at
tention, the record of terrible boiler explosion
Very many causes assigned for this loss of life
and property. great deal is said as to what should
be done and what should not be done. But scarce
y ever hear it said that these explosions due to
an accumulation of Scale in the Boiler, and yet eight
out of ten instanc that in midst are I'M
doubtedly due to this cause.
Now, permit me to say that manufacture a Com
position that will readily and thoroughly remove this
incrustation; and while am constantly sending it
the United States exact pay for its use I'M
less it gives perfect satisfaction and fufs all the
claims make for it.
My preparation will remove Scale from any Boiler
no matter how deep may be the ircrusat on, and at
the same time it will prevent injury to the Boiler
from anything which may be held in solution by the
water contained IN it. This article will absolutely
prevent the formation of Scale if timely introduced
The powder which manufacture has been care
fully tested by some of the ablest chemists in the
country, and its fitness to keep iron clean and to
preserve it has been demonstrated by them in the
most satisfactory manner.
If you will send for my circular with my terms and
full particulars give me call, think Will be
able to convince the most sceptical that this compO
sition will justify all I claim for it.
Very respectfully yours,
GEO, w. LORD.
