The Snow Flake.

The poets and writer's of romance often
refer to the snow fake as an emblem OF
purity. When we see the snow falling
gently to the ground. we think of D. B.
DeLand l. Co.'s best chemical saleratus
which We think is quite as pure. 1t is full
weight, and more healthfui than baking
powder.

something entirely unavailable, II indeed 1t nave any eA

eeeds from tie sale of bonds.
similar analysis Of each year since 1871 SHOWS 'h'
the 81 7j6 goo surplus is mere fiction OF bookkeeping
This would be almost selfevidcnt without an eHamh'

The company has built several branches at cost

POETRY.
A Lost Hour.

golden hour on a summer morn,
When half the world was still,
The dew was fresh in the new-mown hay,
And the bridal veil of the fair young day
Hung Ger the purple hill.
The sheep bells tinged across the slopes,
Sweet as an elfn chime;
Butterflies fitted athwart the down,
Bees went murmuring, busy and brown,
Over the fragrant thyme.
A languid calm and dull content,
Silence instead of speech
The wind sighed low, and the lark sang high,
But the golden hour of our lives went by,
And drifted out of reach.
We both went back to an eager life;
But in its pause to-day
The dream of that golden hour returns,
And my jaded spirit frets and yearns
For one chance swept away.
The years creep on, and the heart grows tired
Even of hopes fulfilled,
And turns away from the worlds strong wine
With tevered lips, that must ever pine
For that pure draught we spilled.
And yet, perchance, when our long day wanes
(Age hath its joys late born),
We shall meet again on the green hill side,
And find in the solemn eventide,
The hour we lost at morn.
