without thinking or caring whittier
he was going, walked rapidly onward
up the Essex Road, through Stoke
Newington, up the Green Lanes, un-
til ne reached Wood Green; then,
turning off into the fields, threw him
self under tree, thoroughly exhaust
ed by fatigue, heat, and the harassing
emotions he had passed through. But
this violent exercise, on the principle
of counter-irritation, had subdued the
fever Of his brain, and, after a few
minutes rest, he was sufficiently calm
to review his position, and consider
what course of action he ought to pur-
sue.
His powerful and resolute mind
could not be Frustrated for any length
of time by any affliction, however Sc

down aud moan hopelessIy under diff

crush them, and. if possible, to sweep

FOWLER FLY FAN !
TO THE PUBLIC,

HAVING purchased the sole right to the
Ii Fowler Patent Fly Fan" we offer the
Machines for sale through Agents and Ner-
chants, with full knowledge and confidence
that they will do what we claim for them.
The machine is self-acting, keeps flies off
the table, winds up like a clock, and, runs
about one hour and a half at each winding
For convenience, a key is attached to the
case, so that 1t can be re-wOund at any time
and run as long as desired. II is light and
portable, perfect substitute for the old fly
brush in the hands of q servant. 1t is orna-
mental, and occupies less space on the table
than castor. It has beautiful bronze base
with the stem and projections nickel plated

noiseleSSly, above the head, with no incOn-
Ven1ence to persons seated at the table. II

IL will last many years 1t has been adopted
in some of the first hotels and private fami-
lies of the country, and wherever in tTOduced

My Boys

& rush for the door Of my study,
The hurry of pattering feet,
Three youngsters, dimpled and ruddyr
Are scrambling for papa's seat
Boy Ned and Arthur are climbing
Their wonted places to seek,
While attle daxen-haired Regie
Lies nestled on papa's cheek.
Now what have my darlings been doing?
Where such flushed cheeks did they get
What mischief have they been brewing?
With blouses crumpled and wet.

And riding behind the goat;
Arthur has been on the river,

With Winfred, making pies"

Scans time you viii have for leisure,
Your lot Will be hard work then"
Then Ned, as he strUtted proudly.
Spoke out with q kindly eye:
Il would like TO be soldier,
With sword and gun, by-and-by."

With miniature ship in hand,
''I'd sail over the ocean;
The sea is better than land"

And one is going to sea;
VIII Reggie stay with his father,
Or what Will my darling be?'
"Oh, I'll be painter, papa,
With mustache and big black hat;
And then I'll paint you and mama,
The pony, the dog, and cat"
I looked at these rosy faces,
Flushed red with glow of health,
And the tears drop down unbidden,
Because of my precious wealth.
