When We are old and gray, love,
When we arr old and gray,
When at last tbs all, all over,

In the still, soft hours II even,
In our life's fair twilight time,
Well look upon the morn, love,
Cpon our early prime.
Thank GUl for all the sweet days
Well whisper while We may,
When We are old and gray, love,
When We are old and gray.
When We we've Young aud gay, love.
When We were young AMI gay,
When distant seem Il December,
And all was golden MAY:
Amid our liic's hard turmoil,
Our true love made u- brave,
We thought not of The morrow,
We r,-ck'd not Of the grave.
81 far seemed hfes dim twilight,
~ far the cld-e Of day,
When We were young aud gay, love,
When We were young and gay.
Now We are old and gray, love,
Nav We are old and gray;
The nisht-ti.lc shadows gather,
We have not long TO stay:
The last st.re raves have fallen.
The bare, bleak branches btI'i:
Put your dear hands in mine, hive.
Thus, thus well wait the end.
Thank GUl for all the sladncss!'
In peaceful hope well say,

HEARTY BREAKFAsTs.-In a large majority of
cases. says the Journal Of Hedifh il will he found
that the best and halthiest meal of the day
should be eaten in the morning. IL the closing
repast of fine day has not been eaten too late, or
has not been excessive in quantity or indigesti-
bic in quality, the stomach will he rested and
active in the morning after the individual has
enjoyed a cool bath. The stomach will then
respond quickly with the necessary gastric juice
for the solution of food, and, if fair amount OF
exercise is taken during the day, large mass Of
food will he assimilated and converted into blood
and tissue. With good substantial breakfast,
no great amount of food will be required during
the remainder of the day.

A beautiful finish can, it is said, be given to
articles to be starched by taking one-fourih Of a
pound of starch, and working it over and knead-
ing it with little water, then placing five or
six pints of water in a pan, and adding Ia this u
very small quantity of powdered borax, piece
of sugar, and fragment OF white wax about the
size of n hazelnut, and heating the whole sni-
GENTLY. This water is then to he added to the
starch, stirring it continually and mixing the
two together until the whole is rs thick as is
convenient for application. If the articles ar,
to he made quite stif, the strength of the starch
may be increased two or three fold.

ANTS As FRUIT-GRowERs' FRIENDs.-SIany of
the leading orchard proprietors in northern Italy
and southern Germany are cultivators of the
common black ant, which insect they hold in
high esteem the fruit-growers' best friend.
They establish ant hills in their orchards and
leave the police service of their fruit trees en-
tirely to the tiny colonistS, which pass all of
their time in climbing up the stems of the fruit
trees cleansing their boughs and leaves of male
factors, mature as well embryotic, and de-
scending, laden with spoils, to the ground, where
they comfortably consume stow away their
booty. They never meddle with sound fruit, but
only invade such apples pears and plums as
have been penetrated by the canker, which
they remorselessy pursue to its Businesses within
the very heart of the fruit. Nowhere are apple
and pear tees 80 free from blight and destruc-
tive insects as in the Immediate neighborhood of
large ant hill five or six years old The favorite
food of ants would appear TO be the larvR and
pupa Of those creatures which spend the whole
of their brief existence in devonring the tender
shoots and juvenile leaves of fruit trees-Prairie

the shallow basket of unhulled Strawberries
close under the pump while you give them one
good, generous douche, which will pass at once

SWEET OLA physician says that sweet oil is
not only an antidote to the bite of the rattle
snake, hut twill cure poison of any kind, both
on man and beast. The patient must take a
spoonful Of it internally, and battle the wound,
for a cure. To cure a horse it takes eight times
rs much for n man. One of the most extreme
eases of snake bites occurred eleven years ago.
1t had been of thirty days standing, and the
patient had been given up by his physicians. I
gave him a spoonful of the oil, which effected n
cure. Ii will cure blOat i'm cattle caused by
fresh clover. Ii will cure the stings of bees,

been poisoned by low, running vine called ivy"

PROBATION AGAINST TRICHISA.-The Medi-
cal Society Of Kalamazoo urge: Eat no uncooked

smoked is liable to contain this parasite full of
mischief in the human body Bologna sausage,

utterly destroys the life and mischeyous power
of these vermin, and no need fear any harm
