The Bridal Veil.

We're married, they say, and you think
YOU have won me
Well. take this white veil from my
head and look on me
Here's matter to vex you II matter to
grieve you,
Here's doubt to distrust you and faith
tic believe you
| am all, as you ee, common earth,
common dew (;
Be wary. and mould me to roses, not
rue
All. shake out the flmy thing, fold af-
ter fold,
And see if you have me to keep II to
hold
Look close on my heart-see worst of
it's SHINING
1t is not yours to-day for the yester-
days winning
The past is not mine-I am too proud to
borrow
You must grow to new heights if |
love you tomorrow.
We're married I'm plighted to hold
up your praises,
As the turf at your feet does its hand
full of daises;
That way lies my honorary pathway
of pride,
But, mark you if greener grass grow
either side.
shall know it, and keeping the body
with you,
Shall walk in my spirit with feet on
the dew.
We're married Oh, pray that our love
do not fail!
l have wings fastened down and hid
den under my veil;
They are subtle as light-you can neve
undo them,
And swift in their hight-you
pursue them,
And spite of all clasping and spite of
all bands,
l can slip like a shadow, adream, from
your hands.
Nay, call me not cruel and fear not to
take me,
am yours for my lifetime, to be what
you make me,
To wear my white veil for a sign of a
cover
AS you shall be proven my lord or my
lover;
A cover for peace hat is dead, or a
token
OF bliss that can never be written or
spoken.

INCREASINGLY.
And in the ~stillnes of some lonely hour
Your soul and mine, by some magnet

Shall hold communion sweet
Do not forget me
Think Of the love that patient waits
for you
Think Of the heart that ever clings to
All t~rustingly,
Content if sunshine fall around her

To brighten every path wherein you
stray,
In loneliness to dwell.
Do not forget me
A kind remembrance is not much 10

OF one for whom the world can yield
no bliss
So deep, SO true, SO exquisite as this
To owe and care for you!

Feminine Ways.

/ saw a young negro woman last
week on receiving her wages for the
month, invest exactly half Of it in
purchasing a pair of fine cloth CATERS
Just a size too small for her foot. In
deed to look at her foot resting on the
ground, and compare it with the
shoes she was exultingly displaying,
was as good a satirical caricature of
the ways of most of us as one would
care to see.

we all. do very much the same
way, and in respect to other points
than those of personal vanity. 1t is
notorious of course, and much too
madverted on here, that we all, old
and young, habitually wear gloves and
shoes and belts much smaller than we
have any right to; but L was thinking
of higher matters. We habitually
encase our minds in habits of thought
and action much too small for the ma
lures God has given us. We bind
ourselves down early in life to a few
maxims, a few formulas, a few stereo-
typed notions of things in heaven,
things on earth, and things under the
earth, some of them bequeathed to us
by our grand-mothers, and are content
to go thus cramped all our days. 1t is
a thousand times worse to cramp the
mind than to cramp the hands and
feet.
One Of the points on which we wear
Ne rs when We ought to have long
ago required los, is that of using our
own Judgment in matters of general
public interest-thinking about the
questions of the day which the men
are settling to suit themselves, making

In the state fair premium list there has
been for a long time this relic OF old
fogyism for the class OF draught horses
"HOrses exhibited in this class must
weigh not less than 1900 pounds, if four
years old or over" We are glad to learn
that this rule and restriction has been
struck out and that it will no longer de-
face the premium list of the State Agri-
cultural society. Its effect has been to
keep out nearly all the real draught
horses in the state. 1t is not rule that
the best draught horses are the largest
weight. Neither is it desirable that this
state should engage i'm the growing of
mountains of horse flesh, i'm order to get
good dranght horses. A writer says:
1.-The exigencies of the period, and above
all, the exigencies of the future, are no
longer the exigencies of the past. AT
present less massiveness, less weight is
gained, but greater vivacity i'm notion
From l,200 to 400 is now the more fire.
quent weight for the best draught horses.
Even the lumbermen and the railway
freight men begin to recognize the fact
that 1900 is high and useless standard.
1t is especially so in the show ring where
the small and large ought to be permit
ted to compete together without re-
strictiOn. and where the strongest should
win without too strict regard for weight.
The heavy weighted ones will have the
advantage anyway.
