THE.RIvER TAME.


"Oh a wonderful stream is the River Time,
AS it flows through the realm of tears,
With a faultless rythm and musical
And a broader sweep and a surge sublime,
AS 1t blends with the ocean Of tears.
How the winters are drifting like flakes OF
And the summer ike buds between;
And the years in the sheaf-so they come
On the rivers Breast, with its ebb and DOW.
As they glide In the shadows and sheen.
There's magical isle up the River Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There's a clOudless sky and a tropical CLINE,
And voice as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses staying.
And the name OF this Isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are browao OF beauty and blossoms of
There are heaps Of dust, but we loved them
There are trinke:s and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
sings,
And part of an infants prayer,
There's harp unswept and lutte without
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
BY the mirage is lifted In air;
And We sometimes hear thro' the turbulent
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone be-
fore
When the wind and the river is fair.
oh, Remembered for aye be the blessed isle
All the day OF our life, till hight,
And when evening comes with its beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing in slumber awhile
May that Greenwood" OF sod be In sight.

, Rne Ead and worthless


are never initiated or cOuqaterfeited. This is
especially true of family medicine, and it
is positive proofthat the remedy initiated is
of the highest value. AS soon as it had been
tested and proved by the whole World that
Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most
valuable family medicine on earth, many
limitations sprang up and began to steal the
notices in which the press and. the people
of the country had expressed the merits of
H. B., and in every way trying to induce
suffering invalids to use their stuff instead,
expecting to make money on the credit and
good name of H. B. Many others started
nostrums put up in similar style to H. B.,
with variously devised names in which the
word Hop" or Hops" were used in a way
to induce people to believe they were the
same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended
remedies or cures, no matter what their
style or name is, and especially those with
the word "Hop'' or Hops In their name,
are limitations. or counterfeits.; Beware of
them. Touch none of them. Use nothing,
but genuine Hop Bitters, with bunch of
green Hops on the white label. Trustnoth-,
ing else. Druggists and dealers are warnedi
against dealing in limitations or counterfeits.

IN July next the people of Santa
Fe, New Mexico, will celebrate the
333d anniversary of that city, the
oldest town in the United States.
When San Augustine, Florida, was
settled in 1865, Santa Fe was fifteen
years old. When the Pilgrims land
ed on Plymouth Rock, Santa Fe had
been settled seventy years. Among
other things at the July celebration
the citizens of the venerable town
are to have two large permanent
buildings, in one of which will be
displayed all sorts of curiosities and
historical relics, and in the other
there will be specimens of the min
eral productions of the country, in
which the territory is unequalled.

That vessels can be saved in a
storm by the towing of perforated
bags of oil astern has been fully
demonstrated. The last case is that
of the British steamer StanmOre,
which arrived here from Queens
town. During the voyage the yes
sci encountered a heavy gale, the
force of which, combined with the
heavy seas, prevented the vessel
from making Roadway and threat
ened to sink her. Seeing this, the
master tried the efficacy of towing
a bag of oil astern, with the most
fortunate results. The force of the
waves was broken and the steamer
was saved. This simple measure IS
being tried by mariners and the
successful experiments made known

By reason Of her peculiar relations

been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
zation. The frequent and distressing
irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to degree
which no language can express In
the mansions of the rich and the howell
of the poor alike, women has been the
patient victim of ills unknown to man
and which none but she could endure
and without a remedy. But now

The North American Review For April.

gal aspects of Divorce are presented
respectively by the Rev. DIR. Theo-

his insistance on the indisSOlubil-
ity of the marriage tie, and by
Judge John A. Jameson, jurIst
whose long experience with divorce

his observation very special value.
DR.. p. Bender, a Canadian who has

cline many citizens of the Dominion

need which exists for "Natlonal
Aid to Public Schools" in the sew

Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby writes of
"The Dangerous Glasses" that men
ace the perpetuity of civil order and
the peace of the community, mean
ing the manipulators of corporation
stocks and the men who, having
amassed enormous wealth, use it
for nefarious purposes. James G.

The roller skate is a Maynard lit
tie quadruped. 1t is as frolicsome
and more innocent looking than a
lamb, but for interfering with ones
upright attitude in the community
it is perhaps the best machine that
has appeared in Salt Lake City.
Ones first feeling on standing up
on a pair of roller skates is an I'M
controllable tendency to come from
together. One foot may start out
toward Idaho while the other as
promptly strikes out for Arizona.
The legs do not stand by each other
as legs related by blood should do,
but each shows a disposition to set
UP in business alone and leave you
to take care Of yourself as best you
may. The awkwardneSS of this ar
rangement is apparent. While they
are setting up independently, there
is nothing for you TO do but to sit
down and await future develop
ments. And you have to sit'doWn,
too, without any previous prepara-
ton for it, and without having de-
voted much thought to it as you
might have done had you been con-
suited In the matter.
One of the most noticeable things
at skating rink is the strong at
traction between the human body
and the floor of the rink. If the
human body had been coming
through space for days and days,
at the rate of a million miles q Sec
ond, without stopping at eating sta
tions, and not excepting Sundays,
when it strikes the floor, we could
understand why it struck the floor
with so much violence. AS it is,
however the thing is ineXplicable.
There are different kinds of falls
i'm vogue at the rink. There are
the rear falls and front falls, the
Cardinal Wolsey fall, the fall one
across the other, three in a pile, and
so on. There are some of the falls
that l would like TO be excused
from describing. The rear fall is
the favorite. 1t is more frequently
utilized than any other. There are
two positions in skating, the per-
pendicular and the horizontal, Adj
Vanced skaters, prefer the perpen-
dieular, while others effect the hOr-
izOntal.
Skates are no reSpectors of per-
sons. They will lay out a minister
of the Gospel or Mayor of the city
as readily as they will a short-coat-
ed one-suspender boy, or giddy girl.
When one of a mans feet starts for
Nevada and the other for Colorado,
that does not separate him from the
floor or break up his fun. Other
portions of his body will take tie
place his feet have just vacated
with promptness that is surprising.
And he will find that the. fun. has
just begun-for the people looking
