Poetry.
I'm GROWING OLD.
By JOHN G. SAKE


My days pass pleasantly away,
My nights are blessed with sweetest sleep.
feel no symptoms of decay.
i have no cause to mourn OF weep,
My foes are impotent and shy.
MY friends are neither false nor cold,
And yet Of late often sigh,
I'm growing old!
My growing talk Of olden times,
My growing thirst for carly news,
My growing apathy for rhymes,
My growing love for easy shoes,
My growing hate for crowds and noise.
My growing fear of catching cold,
All tell me In the plainest voice.
Tn growing old
I'm growing f0nder of my staff,
I'm growing DINNER in the eye,
I'm growing fainter in my laugh
I'm growing deeper in my sigh,
I'm growing careless in my dress,
I'm growing frugal OF my gold,
I'm growing wise, I'm growing-yes-
I'm growing old
/ feel it in my changing taste,
see it in my changing air,
Isee it in my growing waist
/ see it in my showing hair;
A thousand hints proclaim the truth,
As plain as truth was ever told,
That even in my yaunted youth
Pm growing old!
All, mel my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears;
And every boon the hours bequeatll,
But makes ne debtor to the years.
Fen Flattery's honeyed words declare
The secret she would fam withhold,
And tells me in "How young you are!'
I'm growing old
Thanks to the years whose rapid fight
My sombre muse too sadly sings;
Thanks for the CLEANS of golden light
That tint the darkness to their wings
The light that beams from out the sky
Those heavenly mansions to unfold.
Where all are blest, and none may sigh,
''Pm growing old!'

Revolution in Prices :

We buy our Goods At Auction Houses and

how prices fluctuate, and will mark the steady
downward tendency sale after sale and day at
ter day, straight through the season, affording
to real judges OF good capital chances 10 under

cent, and to sell to the public. and to men to
retail, at less th.n the case price at the MILL
An importer, hard up, will offer goods at cost
to raise money. but when q note is due to-mor-
row and money must he had, he tumbles his
goods into the auction rooms where cost or no
cost, they must go. We buy them at nearly our
ow n price. aa.a-
Money is a, .tip-top thing, but brains is the
master. We buy our goods CHEAP our pro-
fits are already saved and made, giving as the
double advantage of selling at prices that must
crush the opposition, who will at once start the
cry that our goods are stolen, or that we are
about to fail, getting up a reputation for us,
without the expense. of advertising-so by ju
dicious management we may easily turn the
enemy's guns upon his retreaing line or put
him in harness upon double duty.
To-day WOODEN mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will be displa, ed in the auction room and
sold for half its value. Next day a Hosiery
house fails, their stock goes to the same place
and sold at an immense sacrifice So, day after
day, through dozen auction houses, these
bursted merchants and these mooDshine million
aires GO crushing through at prices that would
bewilder both buyer and seller, only to prove
that in this advanced age of stubborn and I'M
yielding fighting, it is your duty to make every
edge cut, and to take advantage of every chance
these giant engines afford.
We do not pretend, nor do we wish to lead
the public to believe, that we keep full or reg
ular assortment of Goods. Wei buy everything at
auction, if we can get it below its value, without
regard to getting up an assortment-but what
we have got will be sold at astonishingly low
prices. -
Our present stock consists principally Of Cen
tlemens' Undergarments, Clothing, Cassimeres,
Cloths, Cassinets, Hats and Caps, Notions. and
all kinds of Boots and Shoes, Ladies' Shawle,
large assortment of Furs, principally Misses
nd Children.
Our auction sales will continue as heretofore,
Tuesday, Thursday ard Saturday, to commence
at o. clock in the evening. except at the month

in the day time, and commence at 10 O'Clock in

70 PREVENT KEROSENE EXPLODING.
"A great many accidents are happening
every day from the use of kerosene. I will
tell you method by which they can be to
a great extent prevented, and 1 hope you
will publish it for the benefit of poor peo-
pie who are obliged to buy cheap oils. If
the body Of the lamp is filled with cotton,
such as jewellers use to wrap their articles
in. after it is stuffed lightly, it will receive
one-half the quantity of oil which it would
if the cotton was not put in. If any acct
dent happens, the Oil cannot spill or flow
about, but is, as it were, ''stopped up'' in
the cotton, which burns like fagot, but
all in the one place.

To CAN FRUIT.-Use only fresh fruit,
and that which is ripe-not. too soft, just
right to eat well; fill your can full of fruit;
put the can in a vessel of hot water, and
put a few iron rings in the bottom of the
vessel to prevent breaking; then make it
hotter and hotter after the water has be-
come hot. Too great a heat at first will
crack the cans at the bottom. Meanwhile
make a syrup of white sugar, and when
your fruit is half done cooAl..;, .,our the
syrup over the fruit i'll the cans, and con-
tinue boiling spntil done. Remove from
the fire and seal Immediately. Some pre-
fer cooking their fruit before putting it in
cans; it does not preserve it's natural flavor
as well, neither will the syrup. be perfectly
clear. Cooking the fruit i'll lie cans is the
proper way Of canning fruit. Use half
pound Of sugar to quart jar of fruit.
Cherries, peaches, pears, raspberries will
do with six ounces of sugar. Cook quart
jars twenty to thirty minutes, according
to the rlpeness Of the fruit. Keep watch
of your cans while boiling, and as fast as
The fruit lowers in the cans, fill up with
well-ripened fruit. Next morning, test
your jars; if the cover will not bear up the
weight of the can, boil over again. In ten
days from time of canning, test your fruit
again, and if it holds, then it will keep for
years. By this process you will never be
awakened in the night by a loud report as
Of a gun, and perhaps breaking some half
dozen cans nearest to it. Keep your cans
in a cool, but not damp place.

APPLE PIE.-For three pies pare eleven
good size apples, and slice thin; then pre-
pare the crust and place it in the pans; lay
the apples in evenly; sprinkle over them
very nearly two tablespoonfuls of flour-to
each pie-one handful of sugar, a piece of
butter the size of small hickory nut, and
one third teacup Of cold water. Spice to
taste. Add the top crust and bake Use
nutmeg or allspce or cinnamon, as your
taste fancies, or sprinkle over half tea
spoonful of coriander seed. Select good
cooking apples. AS soon as the pies are
baked they should have a little water
shaken on them and white sugar grated on
Immediately.
