LAVENDER.

4Jis [A1l the Year Round.]
How prone we-are to hide and hoard
Each little token love has stored, .-
To tell of happy hours;
We lay aside with tender caro-
A tattered book, n curl of hair,
bunch Of faded flowers.
When death has led with pulseless hand
Oar darling to the silent land,
$ Awhile we sit bereft.
But time goes on anon we rise,
Our dead being buried from our eyes,
q We gather what is left.
The books they loved the songs they sang,
The little flute whose music rang
So cheerfully of old .
The pictures we have watched them paint
The last plucked flowers, with odor faint,
That fell from fingers cold.
We smooth and fold with reverent care
The robes they, living, used to wear,
II And painful pulses stir ~
And DER the relics of our dead,
With bitter rain of tears, we spread
Pale purple lavender
And when we como in after years,
With only tender April tears
On cheeks once white with care,
To look at treasures put away
Despairing on that fiir-on day,
A subtle scent is there.
Dew-wet and fresh we gathered them
These fragrant nowers-now every stem
. Is bare of all it's bloom.
Tear-wet and sweet we streScd them hero
To lend our relics sacred, dear.
Their beautiful perfume. ~
That scent abides on book and Lutte
On curl, and flower, and while its niuto,
q But eloquent appeal,
1t wins from deeper sob
For our lost dead-a sharper throb
Than we arc wont to feel
1t whispers of the long ago,
Its love, it's loss, it's aching VICE.
And buried Sorrows stir
And tears like those we shed of old
Roll down our cheeks as we behold ..-
Our faded lavender II.

The brain in old persons after the
age of seventy dimipishes both in
bulk and density, and thus becomes
lighter. Its capacity for continuous
hard work is thereby lessened, as
really as is that of the body for mus
cular labor. AS an old man, however.
has the accumulated knowledge, skill
and practical experience of a lifetime,
and that wonderful facility which
comes OF habit, he may, with good
health, and care, do much of his best
work in the neighborhood, say, of
eighty. He can not bear mental strain,
and he must not attempt mental
spurts, "but he can still show himself
n workman that needeth not to be
ashamed" Since, however, the brain
is not then so firmly supported by the
skull, and is slighter in texture, the
blood vessels are more easily dilated
or ruptured. The danger of paralysis
and apopleXy is still further increased,
because the blood vessels become in old
age more or less cssified aud brittle thus
less able to sustain sudden rush of
blood. The aged should carefully abstain
from every form ofviolent action, and,
indeed, from every violent emotion.
The full term of toll, in rearing and
supporting children or in the service of
the public.s earns right to what is the
normal physiological condition of age
freedom from all that annoys, per
pleXcs, harnesses, eXcites and burdens.

On the Odd inst. the Opera House at
Nice, Italy, took fire from n leakage in
the gas pipes and explosion of the
accumulated gas. The house was crowd
ed, the opera being the favoritc one
of Lucia de Lammermoor. Over $50
dead and charred bodies were taken
out next day. The scene must have
been terrific one as the gas turned
off soon after tho explosion, and the
people had to get out in the darkness
or by the light of the burning stage
and scenery, which must have been
more or less obscured by the density
of the smoke. The exits were very mar
row and badly arranged, and scores
of people were trampled down by their
more vigorous and robust companions.
Quite a number of the troupe were
burned to death.

THE DIFFERENCE.

One of the great female writers on
dress reform, in trying to illustrate
how terrible the female dress is, says ::
Take a man and pin three or four
table cloths about him, fastened back
with elastic and loOped up with ribbons,
draw all his hair to the middle Of his
head and tie it tight, and hairpin ON
five pounds Of other hair and a big bow
Of ribbon. Keep the front locks on
pins all night, and let them tickle his
eyes all day, pinch his waist into a
corset, and give him gloves a size too
small and shoes the same, and a hat
that will not stay on without tOrturing
elastic, and little lace veil to blind
his eyes whenever he goes out to walk,
and he will know what a woman's
dress is Now you think you have
done it don't you, sis Why bless you,
that toggery would be heavenly COM
pared to what a man has to contend
with. Take woman and put on her
an undershirt that draws across the
chest so you feel as though you must
cut a hole in it, or two, and which is
SO short that it works up under your
arms and allows the starched upper
shirt to sand paper around and file off
the skin until you wislr it was night,
the tail Of which will not stay tucked
more than half block, though you
tuck, and tuck, and tuck, and then
fasten a collar made Of sheet zinc, two
sizes too small for you, around your
neck, put on vest and coat, and liver
pad and lung pad, and stomach pad,
and a porous plaster, and a chemoise
shirt between the two others, and rub
on some liniment, and put a bunch of
keys, and jack knife, and button
hook, and a pocket-book, and pistol,
and plug Of tobacco in you pockets,
so they will chafe your person, and
then go and drink a few whisky
cocktails and walk around in the sun
with tight boots on, sis, and you will
know what a mans dress is. Come tC
