The sea OF Fortune doth not ever flow:

Her tides have equal times 20 come and 90
Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest

No joy-so great out runneth to an end,

Not endless night, nor yet eternal day

THE OLDEST STOVE IN AMERICA

A. Packard, new of Thorold, Ont, but

Renaissance about the eldest stove in
America. A stove made in England il
ITO. and still used to heat the State
Capitol at Richmond, Va, has been
widely credited as forming the greatest
antiquity. Mr.. Packard, however,
matches this relic with a specimen in
Plymouth County of this State that out
dates it BY nearly half century. In 1885,
he says, Quaker family by the name of
Barker located in the old Colony and

all its appurtsnances, has been handed
down, and is still in possession of one of
the original descendants bearing the

PLANTING TREES.

The Galena Advertiser gives the fol-
lowing brief instructions to tree planters:
list. Plant your trees just as the buds
begin to start.
cd. Plant when the ground is dry and
frianle-~never plant in mortar bed, nor
plaster in your trees.
Sd. Pound the earth snugly about the
roots SO as to ill up all holes. Roots can
not grow in open places. Don't kick the
earth in loosely and pronounce your work
we'll done, for it is not.
We would add that common sense care
after the trees are planted is essentialsand
that mulchiDg is one part OF this care.

the same way as those used by the makers
OF embroidery patterns to-day. Among
the wster-jars in the collection there aIe
some that are particularly noticeable
from the hideousness Of the faces which

polish over the outer surface, and indi-

these known to be in existence. One in

that the EcuadUrian warriors were accus-

them as trophies. In order to reduce the
size, the bones Of the head were carefully
removed, and the skin and part Of the
integuments and tissues carefully dried
and preserved. The head in question is
certainly not more than three inches in

POETRY
BY WILLIAM BRUNToN.

sS3nce more we murtaIs speak of one as dead,
AS gone from this our sad and mortal
sphere.
No more we see that face and gray.crowned
That we go long have seen with reverence
dear.
The mortal fades and fast to earth returns
But he, the man, the spirit dear and true
In other place with sense OF duty burns,
And will his earthly tasks cen there re-
new.
There he, the same good soul, will ever be
The same brave soul that sought and
found the truth.
There lie shall sill with prophet vision see
And feel the glow here felt of angel youth.
And he, our ifiend, is still our friend the
The change of death Is but change in
name.
He shall not pass without our feeling told
He shall not 20 without kind words at
last;
For he waA true and bold az truth is bold;
So victor flowers upon his grave be cast.
We see how niuchOf good his life did bear
How he preparna his way to yonder sky
For US and ours he did the same prepare,
And we withjey shall meet him by-and-
bye.
But ere that time shall come-as come ii
And now shat be ascends to higher sphere
Let us his hope and trust in faith fulfill,
And recognize the fact that he is here
Is here, for death cannot the soul destroy,
Or take from him one love or truth or joy
III.
oh, faith beyond ell speech to tell to men
The earnest faith he held that spirits live
he taught the truth OF this with speech and
pen, .&
And TO declare It more his life did give.
He held 1t fast that life is life AWAY
A stream that flows forever on and on,
A sun that burns aAc has eternal day,
Eternity itself that meier Is gone.
And so we know he now is blest indeed
We know he revols In those fields on high
We know he loves the truth that is oul
creed,
And lives for us and it in yonder sky:
Still shall he live ana br eathe his blessing
and US with golden courage sweetiy crown

so, spirit-friend, we weep thee not as dead
We have no Tears for thee-thy course was
The silver threads of age sweet graced Thy
head,
And death as thy reward in blessing wen.
Death steals no good from this our inner
life;
1t opens out . sphere of higher bliss,
Releases US alone from toll aud strife
And thou dtdst take with smiles its vel

80 live in peace, yet still return again,
And aid US yet Ia all we do and say
Be what thou hast to touch the hearts o

And bring 10 them The light of perfect day

| In the year 900. Liege received, among
her valiant chiefs, Que Jean Colin. He
was almost giant in strength, Samps
among the Liegeois. and nearly shared
the experience of Sampson of OLD, as YOU
shall presently hear. This grim warrior
used to crush his OPP poreuts with mallet
It was considered desirable to honor him
with title which should follow his name
What should 1t be? Not 'head -hitter,"
Of course; but the postical designation,
lMasllard or Jean Colin Of the Mallet.
Feuds were of perpetual occurrence in
those dark old times, and Jean Collins
mallet was constantly busy in queling
them. Terrible became the name of Jean
Colin Willard.
But Liege had another valient chief,
Count de Louvain, who, when Maillard
had proved himself superior to all of his
other opponents, continued to bear arms
against him.
We cannot say whether or not Count
de Louvain learned his war lessons from
the conduct of the enemies of Samson,
but, as he was am itious to avoid the tap
os Jean Collins msllet upon his own head,
he formed the plan of putting out Jean
Collins eyes.
A great battle was fought between the
two chiefs and their forces. At the very
first ouset Count de Lnuvain succeeded In
his purpose of piercing both the eyes of
Mailard, and he looked upon the field as
already won. But the latter with spirit
like that of blind Sampson, determined
that his opponents should perish with
him, and ordered his esquire to take him
into the thickest of the fight. There he
brandished his malleton either hand and
did such fearful execution that his en-
emies fell around him in such numbers
hat victory soon declared itself on his
side.
But, Samson-likc, though blind. he dealt
Such blows as never foeman felt;
To shun them were in vain.
This way they fed, and that they run,
But, OF an hundred men not one
Erc saw the light again"
Robert the Devout, If France, whose
troubles with his wives you may have
lead in history, was very fond of deeds
, of valor, and that of Jean Colin Maillard
J kindled his admiration. He lavished
honors on the victorious blind man, and
ordered the stage-players to bring out q
pantomlme of his contest with Count de
Louvain for the pleasure of the court
The court was delighted with the play,
for the terrible mallet of Maillard, an
the warriors dropping down here and
there, almost without knowing what had
hit them, was all very exciting; and pee
pie in that rude age liked what was SEN
satienal even more than they do now.
The children began to act a similar play
in the streets; one of the players, more
strong and active than the rest, being
E blindfolded aud given stick; and thus
Blind Mans Buff soon became the popu-
lar diversion of the young in France and
Normandy, where it was known under
the name of COLIN Masllard. This name
it still bears in France and on the CONT
nent of Europe.
1.-THE King repeated oft the play;
The children followed day by day,

And to this time do sportive feet
