Bishop Haven advocates union of all
of North America under one government
He is sure that Canada is ready for such
a change, and as to Mexico he says, in
the Independent: "Why not? Her treas
ures are even more attractive and necess-
airy than those of the Dominion. She
has wealth unsurpassed in her many
mountains. Our railroads are pressing
into it on the north, west and east. Three
or four lines are moving upon it. Its
lands adjacent to ours are fertile and
empty. Three hundred miles from Mon
terey to Matamoros is one belt of magni-
fed emptiness, richest Of pampas, and
practically without inhabitants. So is
Chihuahua and so is Durango. That SUI
perb land awaits our honorable asking u
The enthusiastic bishop finally settles the
question of the religion of his proposed
country as follows: 1.-THE whole world
look with admiration and with awe on
the sublime spectacle, and the earth and
man be far advanced by that consuma-
ton to the fulfllment not only of pagan
and political prophecies, but of those
further seeing men of old who spake as
they were borne along and borne aloft of
the Holy Ghost, when they declared that
all nations and all tongues should accept
one gospel"

"Oh, did not mind much, for thought
we must all go soon; I did not believe
we could hold out long, for every time
the waves rolled up we had to duck our
heads under water so as not to be swept

The Sanguine Bride.

IA not unusual kind of bride is that
sanguine creature who believes that life

that never cloud will cast its shadow

IN the ralnbow-lined cloud of hope and

DR.. j. H. Gladstone has examined some
candles which are stated to have been re-
covered from the wreck of Dutch vessel
sunk in Vigo Bay during the war in the
year 1909. The wick has rotted away, leav-
ing scarcely any trace Of its existence,
while the fatty portion has become fri
able heavy substance, of dull white color.
The candles bore evidence of having been
made by dipping, tor the concentric layers
were easily separated from one another.
and this facilitated examination of the
outer aud innerI portions of the same
piece. The most interesting point is,
that whereas the fats have been in contact
with practically unlimited amount of

child goes on until it has reached the age
OF eight or ten years, or perhaps little
older, when it Is observed that it is
obliged to hold the object at which it is
looking little nearer than before. An
examination reveals the fact that the
child is near-sighted. This condition
usually progresses more rapidly between
the ages of ten and twenty six. But we
know by means of the opthalmoscope,
and by an examination of the body after
death, that the near-sighted eve is
chnged in shape from the spherical TO an
elliptical or ovoid form, and that pro-
gresslve near-sig htedness is always
marked by change in the shape OF the
eye. AS the eye is made up Of healthy
tissue, and is constantly undergoing waste
and repair in its use, YOU readily per-
ceive that the quality of it's repair IS 90
ing to be determined very much By the
tissue binding quality of the particular
child, and by the way in which
that child uses lis eyes. Parents
at home are very often at fault
In not teaching their children
how to use their eyes. I have often en-
tered the dwellings of many people and
seen little girls curled up on sofa or in
a chair, with the head down in the lap.

blood, remaining in that situation for a
greater or less time; and often, before the
child can read, some object, like a doll

ana all the time waste and repair are 90
ing ON, because there can be no use OF the
eye without alterations of tissue, and the
child will go blind because the proper
nourlshment of the eve is interfered with.
and the tissues cannot be reproduced as
the wasting progresses. If che child
uses the eye for long time or too close
~ to any particular form Of work, the
tissue cannot be reproduced or nourished
as 1t should be, and the pressure ct the
muscles upon the eyeball and the diff
cult act Of the child in focalizing, means
that the tissue of the soft and pliable eye
IS undergoing alteration, which will
lead to lamentable form of the disease.
Then the child goes into the school, and
there is put into forms and classes, and
ottentmes is made to do work on states
and copy-boeks which, perhaps, might be
better done on the blackboard, and thus
the eye is strained until the mischief is
perceived in its efects.-Dr. Agnew.

God Knows.

UUU A1lON d
There is thought upon my bosom stealing.
A thought that ever, with each TOE OF feel.
Ebbs and flows;
Flowing, my soul its mighty flood receiveth;
Ebbirg, it atill on me its impress leaveth-
"God knows, God knows"
AS ocean waves the cliffs majestic shifting,
Upon the rock their records grand are writ
AS on time goes,
So on my soul, by waves of sorrow smitten,
In never-fading characters is written,
"God knows, God knows"
God knows! When the pure tides Of Joy are
rising, .... BID, s III
And all my spirit in their fow surprising
With pleasure glows,
Not on this transient mood my soul relieth;
One blessed thought my JOY intensitieth-
God knows, God knows"
When in despair, no earthly comfort needing
My spirit PROSTATE lies, all crushed and
From cruel blows,
Soothed in each shattered, throbbing nerve Of
Touched by this thought, as by hand OF
"God knows, God knows"
As birds within their nests, no danger know
ing,
Are rocked by tempests that without are
blowing,
To sweet repose-
Rocked in the cradle of divine compassion,
My soul is safe amid the storms of passion,
"God knows, God knows"
When with rebellious thoughts my heart is
burning,
When from the narrow way my feet are turn
To walk with foes,
In vain my soul her guilty secret hideth;
Though men be blind, one awful truth abid-
GOD knows, God knows
When on the promises of love relying,
My soul, in deep contrition bowed, is signing
In sorrows thrOes.
Like morning dew upon the flowers distilling,
There comes a thought, my heart with COM
fort filling,
"God knows, God knows"
Great sympathizer in my JOY and sorrow,
Great Keeper Of the present and the morrow
Till time shall close,
Grant that forever in my heart remaining,
This truth may hold me by its power restrain
God knows, God knows"

Economy in Youth.

While sensible people put no faith in
fortune telling, we may on general prin-
ciples predict from boys habits wheth-
er he is likely to succeed or fail in life.
When money burns in his pocket, and he
is impatient to spend all that comes into
his possession he spends every
cent of his salary, and even falls into
cebt-wher he prefers to invest mis- earn
ings In cigars. handsome clothes and
amusements, to putting them at interest
we may safely predict that he will prob
ably never attain wealth without de
cided change of habits. Fifty cents a
week, saved in youth, IS often the nucleus
OF large fortune. It is not so much the
amount saved as the habit Of saving that
is important A wealthy banker began
life at seventeen on salary Of $40O a
year. This was forty years ago, when a
dollar would go great way, and he
saved half his salary. Had he spent it
all, as he might have done without ex-
travagance, he would probably have oeen
a clerk to-day.
The story of Dick Wilmington may
be fable, but it teacues a valuable les
son. He won the interest and help of
his employer by his habit of picking up
stray pins and carefully saving them.
Picking up pins may lot always make a
man Mayor in the end, but such boys
seldom die IN the poor-house.
So TAR as cur own observation goes,
there are more extravagant than econom-
ical boys. Thirty years hence we shall
see the natural result. Few of them will

to be despised, for in the right hands, it
may do great good. That economy leads
to wealth in the case of nations may be
illustrated by the prosperous condition
of France to-day. No people understand
better how to live comfortably on little.
1t is fashionable to save. The peasant
out of his small income saves few francs
every month. So it happens that the
small farmers are the "bloated bond
holders" of France. The Germans were
once frugal, but the war indemnity and
war times have made them extravaganza,
and the victors are far less prosperous
than the vanquished.
Some of our thousand of young readers,
hope, will read this article and heed
our advice. To them we say, if you spare
to-day, you will be in condition to
spend tomorrow. Many care worn man
not knowing where to turn for the means
to meet his moderate expenses, might
have been in a position to retire on a
competence had he as boy and young
man avoided extravagant living. It is
a source of satisfaction to reflect that
economy among Americans is much more
common than it was five years ago. If
this be kept up, we shall not have long
10 wait for good times.--N. Y. Weekly.

but trembling limbs refused to carry her.

himself to career of usefulness rather

The hills soft meshed IN silver haze.
The gold-brown brook and ancient bridge.
And old red mill beneath the ridge.
And dim lights on the orchard side.
With moss-g grown trees low branching wide;
The hamlet nestled in the glade
A drowsy nook that loves the shade.
The dusty highway, long and brown,
Slow creeping out beyond the town
To breast the hillside in it's strength,
silent treeless mile in length,
Far to the hanging woods on high
That with their verdure soothe the eye
With myriad dyes of dusky green
That wear September's richest sheen.
Der old stone wall the blackberry twines,
Inlaced with wanton gadding vines,
The clematis and wild fox-grape.
The shade-bush and the feathered brake,
And woodbine curled in cedar spire
That soon shall glow a line OF fire;
Nor darker could the elder CLEAN
With fruitage dipped in stygian stream.
All freaked and splashea with guiltless blood
The sumach flares along the wood;
The mullen takes its lonely stand
Upon the hilly pasture land,
Where slow the cricket's voice is heard
Planning some monitory word,
Shrilled by small black located friar
Who breaches meath the furze and brier.
The golden rod from myriad whorls
Its sunny oriflamme unfurls,
And triumphs DER the dusty way.
CompaniOned by the thistle gay,
That spreads disk so rosy fair
To feed the pretty birds of air,
And foremost, with tWittering note
The dainty goldfnch swellsIits throat,
The noontide warns the quiet air
With scent of apples spiced and rare,
And ounces by the messy we'll
Feel in their veins old Midas spell,
While clusters on the brOnzing vine
Breathe out an odor half divine
From thick embroidered. bosky trees
Comes now the murmurous hum of bees
Far off the golden stubble land
Lies in warm and glowing band,
AS if old earth, summed through and through
Had ripened to richer hue:
Clouds mottled like the ringdOve's breast
Move softly onward toward the west,
With riffs of deep and tender hue;
nameless depth of gentian blue.
In perfect beauty, flushed and sweet,
Dear autumn comes with glowing feet;
Her tanned cheek wears sunset dive,
A laughing light is in her eye;
About her shapely ankles brown
Swells out a modest russell gown
With here and There a color dash
A breast-knOt of the mountain ash,
Her round arms globed melons bear,
And scarlet leaves have crowned her hair.
