Rhy do sing? IT'S hard TO tan g.,

A Borrowing heart 70 often lies.

The heart o'ercast with grief the while
And yet-'mid unahed tears smile.
I smile, because to nature true;
Like CLEANS Of sunshinc breaking through
The rifted clouds, when storms sre past;
Though soft white clouds still overcast
The azure aky, to cheer tho scene
Bright rays OF sunlight burst between.
Why do weep? Alas! these tears
Cannot ef{ace the stains Of years;
'T1s grace alone can save, know,
And yet, til well to let them dow;
They soothe the griefs OF lies dark hours,
Al sunlight smiles through April showers.
And then It's written, "Jes,,s wept,''
Above the grave Of one that slept,
While friends and loved ones gathered round
With softened tread tho neW-made mound:
That when thus pressed with grief and cares,
He found . sweet relief In tears.

those bright, ruby lips but he knows
only too well the nature Of this girl who
has but Just pledged her faith to him.
!, They turned and walked silently aWay
in the gathering twilight, down the road
that leads to the village. The plaintive
notes of the whip poor-will are heard
away off in the forest. Slowly and
silently night lowers her curtain of
darkness DER the earth and pins it down
with million of glittering stars.

To dream of Joy and wake to sorrow
IL doomed to al who live and love.
Spring has faded into summer, and
the last days of summer are slipping
away. The scene now is o social gath
ering in the village. The soft, mellow
lamp-light falls upon many fair face
there that needs but the opportunity and
it would rival the boosted charms of
many an acknowledged belle of the city
bathrooms. Again do see the maiden
I saw upon the bridge in the early
springtime. But the youth is not with
her now. By her side stands a dark.
coarse man, with low forehead, deep,
sunken eyes, and full, sensuous lips,
which tell that he has more of the brute
in his nature than is usually allotted to
man. And yet this girl is smiling up at
him as she never smiled upon the fair
haired youth who pleaded 20 passion
ately for her love but few months be-
fore. Where is he now? All, I have
just discovered him. He stands beyond
this couple, further back in the shadow,
and they are not aware of his close prox-
unity, for he is the subject of their con-
versation. Why is his face so pale !?
Why, indeed! He has just discovered
that the only woman he ever loved. or
ever con love, is false to him-that she
has toyed with his hearts deepest af-
lection willfully; and, worse than all
else, he has learned that she loves the
dark, evil man at her side.
Mechanically he tears the glove he
has just drawn from his hand into
small pieces, and drops them one by
one upon the floor. There is q bitter,
sarcastic smile upon his face as he
watches the couple, who fancy them
selves unobserved amid the throng.
Unnoticed by them he leaves his place
in the shadow and passes out into the
night.
All alone, with none to mark the con-
tiict save the All-seeing one, does he
struggle with that heart consuming love.
And, as the gray dawn comes slowly
creeping in at his window, he has con-
quered. But ct what cost! In this
battle what has he lost? Confidence in
mankind, hopes of heaven and faith in
God. And he has gained nothing.
The scene has closed. The past joins
to the present. The pictured faces
smile down upon me from the wall. I
arouse myself from the dream, and am
again the harsh, cold man of the world.
And
I take up the burden of life again,
Saying sadly, st might have been"

The Orange Tree.

The orange tree is the longest-lived
fruit tree known. It is reputed to have
attained the age of 300 years, and been
known to flourish and bear fruit more
than lOO years. No fruit tree will sus-
tain itself and produce fruit SO we'll under
neglect and rough treatment. It begins
to bear about the third year after bud
ding, and by the fifth year produces an
abundant crop, though the Weld is
gradually increased by ape and
favorable circumstances. The early
growth of the orange is rapid, and by its
tenth year it has grown more than it will
in the next fifty, 80 far as it's breadth
and height are concerned but it is age

DR.: Hunter, of Chicago whose project for the
erection of hospital for the treatment OF lung
diseases formed the subject matter of recent
article in this paper, has rcyolutioniZed the
method Of treating all forms OF lung disease,
especially consumption. Instead Of treatment
by remedies through the stomach, his method
Is to destroy the germs of disease in the lungs
by inhalation, and the success of his treatment
testifies to its advantages over all methods
hitherto tried. Thousands in this city have
been restored to health by inhalation. while
the whole State of Illinois probably could not
show single case Of even chronic bronchitis
cured by the old method, to say nothing of
that more dangerous malady, consumption.
Experience, the experience OF many years, is
worth, in medicine, all the theoretical dogmas
even promulgated. The two systems of treat
ment, the old and the new, have been thor
oughly tried. The result, in one case, is uni
versal failure; In the other, almost universal
success. Ofcourse the patient who has neglect
ed his malady till its hold on him is oyermaster.
ing, or has had his system broken down by
false methods OF treatment. can have little
nope of relief in this world, and may as we'll
turn his attention to the next. But to those not
yet beyond the possibility of a cure, DR..
Hunter, by his admirable system of treatment
BY inhalation, stretches out aIhelping hand, Of
fering prompt relief from suffering and WELL
grounded prospect of restoration to perfect
health.-Sdtu7t1du Elenin0 Herald

The First ENGLISH Song Set ia Mnsic

The First English Song Set to Music.
The following old English poem is said
to have been the first English song ever
set to music. It was written about the
year 1900, and was first discovered in
one of the Harleian manuscripts, now in
the British Museum:

The following is literal modern prose
version: "Summer is coming. Loudly

Eve bleateth after lamb, loweth COW
