THE SEDGwICK
Steel w ire Fence,

TNHE above cut represents section and Gate
L of strong, cheap and durable Steel Wiro
Fence which is now being used at the North
and Northwest in preference to any other kind
of fencing. Wherever it has been tried it has
given great satisfaction.
1t is net work without barbs and will keep
out small pigs or any other animals that may
injure gardens or farm crops.
1t makes no shade and shelters no entmiss
crops or poultry.
Il is just the fence for Gardens, Lots, lawns
Parks and Cemeteries.
Being dipped in Rust proof paint il will last
life time, and is better than board fence in
every respect.
IL is easily and quickly put up.

THE TURNING OF THE TIDE.

Because great incoming wave
Brings TO my feet success,
The riches of the sea and land
To comfort and TO bless,
Shall 1, quite sure Of id,itag good,
BE pulled with foolish pride?
Nay F.. sooner let me watch and wait
The turning Of the tide.
For many a soul hath found itself
Rich at the noon oflitc-
1t may have beer by heritage,
Or dint of toll and strife
Hath gathered in its argosies
or gold, from far and wi Ie-
To find them disappearing at
The turning of the tide.
Shall |, because my wheat looks fair,
My barley aud and my rye;
Because my fruit trees blossoms oIt
Beneath sweet June sky
Shall be sure of coming time,
or months rs yet untried?
Nay sooner let me watch and wait
The turning Of the tide.
For many garden fair hath given
promise sweet as mine
Hath hung its emerald banners out
On bush. and tree, and vine
And yet the buds that promised best
In summer droughts have died.
While men with saddened faces, marked.
The turning Of the tide
Still let us sow with earnest hearts
Our goodly seed, to-day;
The while for sunshine, evening dew,
And blessed rain we pray
But when the sweet fruition comes
Let us beware of pride,
Remembering each day there is
y turning of the tide.

to his partners in the dance that he would
die that night after the dancing was con-

ready to so home, young Cox called their
attention to the way he had arranged the
chairs around the room AMI how he had
placed one chair in the centre and covered
it with shawl. He requested the ladies to
be seated. One Of the ladies took the cen
tire seat, but he asked her to seat herself
elsewhere, as that particular chair was
reserved fer himself
After all had taken places he seated him.

would certainly die before day, and desired
the present witnesses to stay with him until
the end was reached. He said he bad been

to Sunday school and tried to make a good
Christian of him, but in spite of her care nc
had straycd from the paths of duty and could
never face his mother again. He then drew
a pistol from an inside pocket and saying,
"This never fails, placed the muzzle against
hi, ear and fired
The spectators were taken so entirely by
surprise that they could make no movement
to prevent the rash act, and it was not un-
til his hand dropped into his lap and the
pistol fel! to the floor that they fully real
