A faded flower found to-day,
That years ago I laid away
Twas pucked from a MESSY woodland dell;
And oh, what tales its dead leaves tell
or the happy hours that few fast,
Like the withered flower too sweet To last;
or the golden hours without alloy,

And she was girl with charms most rare,
Her face and form supremacy fair.
An selfish sprite with silker hair,
Floating down from her shoulders bare.

And think OF meadows and garnercd sheaves,
or viocts blue and daises bold,
And dewy hillsides begemmed with gold.
The quiet forest, the old mill stream,
Where life seemed only pleasant dream,
As the singing birds and hummng bees
Were making love mid eafy trees
In the winding paths, through shady wales,
Where saucy squirrels chartered tales,
And the grand old oaks whose boughs entwined
Ger the yellow roadway, 6ower-lined.
The cows in the Geld, the sheep on the hill
The laughing brook and the murmuring rill,
And over them all the soft, blue sky,
Whose deecy clouds go floating by.
Bot the small white hand whose fingers presse,
The withered flower is laid TO rest,
Aud my darling sleeps meath the nowery sod
Forever safe in the arms of God

THERE is, it seems, a corner in
ounce seeds It will strike the unin
formed public as a little curious, but
the girls buy up all the ounce seeds to
make curls of There is nothing in
the world to compare with the glue OBJ
tanned from ounce seeds to make those
awfully lovely curls, of all sorts of
shapes and sizes, which lie upon the
marble brow of the girl of the period
like mashed angleworm upon a front
step. Why any girl should want that
sort of thing zig tagging down to the
edge of her eyes and rolling back
around her ears, held together by an
invisible net which everybody can see,
is quite beyond ordinary comprehen-
sion, but nobody ever expects girl to
give reason for any eccentricity of
personal decoration. But while the
crushed angleworm ornamentation of
the feminine forehead is persisted in
the demand for ounce seeds will con-
tinue. These seeds are mostly import
ed from Russia, and the trade has
grown from five hundred pounds a
year to ten thousand pounds, and the
demand is not satisfied with that. They
are handled by the druggists, and the
prices have gone up so that great
many girls can't afford ounce seed
curls, but fall back on gum tragacanth
and soap, either of which will serve the
purpose very well and create an appro-
pirate degree of ugliness around the
prettiest face.

The Fluffy Angel.

When young girl forms an opinion
about any of the young men who fit
about her, she knows how to give that
opinion expression in a way so original
and direct as often to startie those rath-

Iron as n Medicine.

What n prominent medical man saws:
The prepare tons OF Iron which are term

Besides the local tonic effort that Iron is

The red colpusc,es of the blood, which
are increased by the use of Iron, act as gar

the inspired air of the lungs and il is now
generally conceded that Iron taken up in the
blood corpuscles converts Oxygen into
Ozone, much more active power than
Oxygen, and one that is considered as the
greatest destroyer of malarial polsons.
The diseases in which iron is especially
serviceable are those which come from want

Town PRIDE.-It is a great thing to
take some pride in the appearance OF
the town or village in which you live.
Next to desire TO live in neat and
tasty home, every citizen should desire
to live in a neat and tasty town. A
tasty town does not depend altogether
upon costly houses. Good taste may
make cottage as attractive as a man
sion, and bad taste may make a man.
sion as unsightly as a barn. If you
live in an old house that has grown
rusty with years and has become a de-
formity to the town, if you can't afford
to pull it down and build a new house
in the place of it, at least put fresh
coat of paint on it. A discriminate
use of paint will do wonders for the ap-
pcarance of an old house 1t makes
it look young again. Snow Hill badly
needs painting There are houses in
town that would look we'll if they were
frightened up little, that are now al.
most unsightly for want of paint. A
desire in the breast of every house own
ner, to make Snow Hill a handsome
town, would be a very commeDdable
form of patriotism; especially if he
would put his patriotism into practical
shape by making his own house as
handsome as possible.
