Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood leaves;
From the field the reapers sing
Binding up the sheaves
And memory DER my mind
As u spell is cast,
Says the mill will never grind
With the water that is past
Summer winds revive no more,
Leaves strewn over earth and main.
And the sickle nee can reap
The gathered grain again
Aud the ripplins stream aows on.
Tranquil. deep and stili
Never gliding back again
To the water mill.
Truly speaks the proverb old,
With u meaning vast.
''The mill will never grind
With the water that is past"
Take the lesson TO yourself,
Loving heart and true,
Golden years are heeting by,
Youth is passing, too
Strive TO make the most of life
Lose no happy day.
Time shall never bring you back
Chances swept away
Leave no tender word nnsaid,
Love while life shall last,
The mill will never grind
With the water that Is past.
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man of thought and will
Never does the streanlet glide
Unless by the mill.
Wait not till to-rnorrow's sun
Beams upon your way,
All that you can call your own
Lies in this to-day.
Power. intellect and health
May not always last;
The mill viii never grind
With water that is past.
ONLY FOR THEE
,oundess as the stars In the hue sky above US,
Countless as grains in the sands by the sea,
>cep as the measureless depths of tho ocean
Is the love Of my heart for thee, only thee.
1T when the night closes darkly around me
And sorrowful thoughts TO my eye call "a tear,
. vision of glory enlightens the darkness
When feel that thy spirit is lowering near.
NJ when in the future my folly may grieve thee,
Aud anger burn hot where love used To be-
pray thee remember that nothing but anguish
Can e'er be my portion divided by thee.

A dealer in handcuffs stopped at hotel in town last week, and while there Gust to see how it would seem,) little daughter of the landlord wanted to try on pair of the brace lets The accommodating dealer put bright shining pair on her wrists, and after she had satisfied herself and was ready to have them taken off, in some unaccountable way the key to that pair was missing. There was music in the air for awhile, but by an application of soap and water the irons were finally slipped over the little girls hands and she was free a. gain. She don't care to know how it seems anymore. - WOlc0ttviIJe Reqistere-sa

For three years atterwards had nasal organs and troats sensitive that the slightest cold would bring fresh attack, leaving me prostrated. In this way continued to suffer. The last attack, the severest ever had, terrible snf fered the most excruciating pain in my head, hoarse as to be scarcely able to speak, and congEed necessarily. thought was going into quick con- sumption, and l firmly believe that had these symp- toms continued without relief they would have ren. dered me an easy victim.
