 A YOUNG WIPES GREATEST TRIAL.-The greatest trial of young wife's life is the birth of child, which is usually attended with many hours of hard labor and intense pain. PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, new book, by Dr. J. H. Dye, one of New York's most eminent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth. but results from causes easily understood and overcome It proves conclusiyely that any woman may be- come mother without experiencing any pain whatever. It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swelled limbs, ner- veusness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy. It answers hundreds of delicate questions about women and their peculiar troubles. Physicians high ly recommend it, and say it will do all that is claimed for it.

MIR. BURDETTE's RECOLLECTIoNs OF
COMMENCEMENT DAY.

MIX. BURDETTES RECOLLECTlONS OF
COMMENCEMENT DAY.
To-day! We stand on the Threshold!
We stand there! Waiting! To be
asked in. Life Is river! We meet
it boldly. Hope, courage and high
purpose thrill our hearts! We cannot
tear aside the veil that hides the future
from Our view. The future Is before
us! The past! Is behind us. The
present, however, stays right by us.
We do not fear it. We press bravely
on. Onward and upward The hour
strikes the nOontide of the world.
With resolute hands we grasp the
the school. A long ways behind us,
the most of it.
Before us lies the world. We accept
it. Grave are the responsibilities of
the trust; especially the trust fund.
But we accept them. Life long will be
the labor of reform. We have put our
hands to the plough, and we will never
look back, until we get to Canada,
whence we may look back in safety,
and become lions and ornaments i'll
Canadian society. AS the years roll
on, which they will probably do, we
will never forget our alma mater, but
we will shake things up on the street
ourselves, and if there is any rehypO-
thecating to be done, inquire within.
Hoe tcmpore, the world is in bad
form. Vice rules the world. BOnos
viros take back seats in the convention.
Lupus sits in the high places and
judges of the people in the gates, while
Agnus ekes out Il precariOus existence
in the wool business. Our rulers wal
low in vice. The temples of commerce
are as dens of thieves. Mistrust, guilt
and suspicious stalk through the land +,
nodus membra. All this has come to
pass while we were ut college.
But we will reform all this sort OF
thing now. Not this week, because
this week the gods look down from
high Olympus to see the boat race.
Next week the world holds its breath
while our base ball match is played,
and the week after that the sun stands
still upon Gideon and the moon in the
valley of AjalOn, while we play the
closing game of lawn tennis for the
championship. But after that we will
mount our bicycles and go forth con-
quering and to conquer.
Life Is an ocean Let us, then,
cleanse its Augean stables of this
blighting leprosy, and beard this lion
in the bud, and, in the gathering gloom
which marks the footprints of decay,
throttle it in its cradle, ere yet its
black wings shall strike its fangs deep
into the soil of American freedom, and
with Judas kiss betray our fondest
hopes and brightest dreams into the
sandswept waste of this sirocco strick-
EN- maelstrom that yawns ut our feet
waiting for some self-sacriticing Cur
| thus to lay the axe at the root of this
deadly upas tree that shadows all tn,
land with the lurid light of its basilisk
eye, which, siren like, charms with it'
delusive song, only to chill into pulse
less stone with the Gorgon horror o
its icy blast

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skies,
Beyond deaths solemn portal
There is a land whose beauty never dies
And love becomes immortal;
A land whose light is never dimmed by shade,
Whose fields are ever vsrnal,
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for age, eternal
We may not know how sweet the balmy air,
How bright and fair it's flowers
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through those enchanted bowers.
That oity's shining towers We may not see
With our dim earthly vision,
For death, the silent warden, keeps the KEY
That opens these gates elysian.
The fiery sunset fingers.
Its golden gates swing inward noiselessly,
Unlocked by silent fingers.
And while they stand a moment half aiar,
CLEANS from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar,
And half reveal the story.
o land unknownl o land of love divinel
Father all wise eternal
Guide, guide these wandering feet of mine
Into those pastures vernal
