LOOKING ONWARD.

All lifc's brightness comes not in the sunshine,
Or it's sweetness all in summer flowers,
Deepest joy is not in onward seeming,
Trucst rest is not in empty hours.
II the shadows deepen just before us,
Not cloud but is with silver lined,
Though we cannot see the waiting blessing
While our downcast cyeswith tears arc blind.
Hours for which we wait with anxious longing
Come and go-nor bring the peace we
And we almost murmur in our weakness
That our asking has been NIL for naught.
Seeming to forget the tender kindness
OF the Hand that leads along the way,
Turning all our signing into singing,
Changing all our darkness into day.
God, who notes the growing Of lilies,
And who even marks the sparrOW's 1all,
viii not leave his chosen in the darkness,
Nor will fail to hear their faintcst call.
For he knows the path His children Journey,
Nor unmeaning sorrow will tic send,
Known to Him is every foOtstcp,
Who, from the beginning, secs the end.
If VIC will but trust His loving kindness,
If VIC do not clasp His outstretchcd hand,
Safe through lifc-its sunshine and its shadow
He will lead us to better land

EYES.

Sweet baby eyes,
That look around with such grave surprise,
What do you see?
A strange new world, where simple things
Engender wild imaginings
And fancies free?
A resting place that is not home,
A paradise wherein to roam
For years, may be:
o placid, wondering baby eyes,
The mystery that in you lies
Oft puzzles me
Clear, boyish eyes.
Whose fearless glance unconsciously deies
Trouble and care;
When babyhood is passed and gone,
What is it that you gaze upon?
Aland most fair;
A sunny shore with pleasure rife,
And that great, glorious gift Of life
'Tis bliss to share.
0 happy, trustful, boyish eyes,
Let sages envy, fools despise
The faith you wear.
The anxious eyes
Ofmanhood, slowly piercing earth's disguis'
Discoyer-what?
That life at best is quickly done,
That hopes fulfilled and wishes won
Are dearly got;
That shadows chased in headlong haste,
And golden fruit he strove to taste,
Delight him not;
0 restless, doubling, troubled eyes,
To learn in sorrow to be wise
Is manhoods lot.
Dim aged eyes,
Gazing across the wreck of broken ties,
What do they see?
Behind-dead leaves that withered fall.
A fading wilderness where all
Is vanity;
Before-to gladden. weary sight,
A glimpse, a promise of the bright
Eternity.
o dim and fearful aged eyes,
If waiting till that dawn shall rise,
Blessed are ye!

Young Trout-Fisher' wants us to tell

friend, there are various ways of throwing
fly. The collar-and- d-elbow hold is a.
bout the squarest way Of doing it, as the
advantages then are about equal. If you
are quick on the flop, 20 umight try him

Archery.

Several young ladies in Mexico
are thinking of forming an archery
club. For their benefit we offer the
following suggestions which may be
of use:
Don't attempt to hold the bow in
both hands when you shoot.
If you shoot over the target lower
it. If you shoot under it have it
elevated.
When you miss the target and
pillow a lurrow along Il boys scalp
tally two, one for the scalp and one
for the boy.
Either close both eyes or keep
both open when you shoot. Some
favor one method and some the other,
but odds is the difference as long as
your father employs a glazier by the
month.
Don't attempt q curve-shot. The
arrow is as apt to come down on the
baby's head as elsewhere.
Some girls squint up one eye and
hang out their tongue when they pull
the bow. This is not absolutely
necessary to q line shot, though it
does look romantic.
There is no particular distance to
be observed, but the nearer the tar
get you stand the more chance you
have Of hitting some M across the
the street in the eye.
a center shot is called Coulter; :"
missing a targeti is termed a ''golly:'
hitting the hOrsc-barn is known rs a
''whoopce;' missing The barn and
shooting your aunt's spectacles OIL
her nose is called n ''Tom-tom :"
shooting across an old mans slOal-
der is known as E'snuilles :" sitting
down and shooting backwards over
your head is known rs ''hluiling the
game" and holding q spyglass up to
get a line shot is called ''mashing the
mark"

HeInsbOaG's FsucEu.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been
known as. one Of the most valuable
medicine tineq 'e in certain classes
of diseases, such as dyspepsia, chronic
rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous atlec-
ton, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As a diuretic, it is
superior to ain ost any other medi-
cine in use, and the great care with
which it is prepared, the absolute
purity of the preparation, and the
diligence used in the selection Of the
crude material, have made it known
far and wide as a reliable and effec-
tive preparation, and N that can
! always he used with safety and bene-
fit. The great of Helnlbold's
Buchu has led to the production of
many spurious preparations, which
are made cheaply and placed upon
the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original
preparation. Parties who desire 4
really good medicine should be care
full and use IIclmhold'S only.
