A few more sunny smiles and bitter
tears
To mingle through the qIIickiy,fowing
years;
A few more walks beside the silent
shore
To match the death-kiss ere friends so
before.
a few more threads to weave in life's
strange web;
A few more tidal waves 70 flow and ebb
And then to fold our hands upon our
breast
And lay us down to peaceful endless
rest.
A little longer to supportthe cross;
A few more days upon life's sea to toss
To court the moments set against our
name
Ere He who formed us shade decide
our blame.
There is no time to hate our brother
To speak cold words to those beneath
the ban;
There is no time to set with idle hands
While Gods ripe harvest gladdens all
the land. -Dertsr Smith.

The HIGHLAND EDUCATION -
There is q great deal that is wrong
in our modern method Of education.
1t teaches a man to be a gentleman,
but yet does not give him the power
Of making living. 1t stuffs him
with facts and meaningless words,
phrases and theories, put does not
enable him to think for himself and
become man in the highest and
best sense. His education is too gen.
eral and not practical enough. ALL
classes should be taught that Peru
na-the great remedy compounded by
DR.. Hartman--is the very thing he
needs for the restoration Of health
and the toning up Of the body. Be-
ing composed of pure vegetable sub
stances and containing no poisonous
minerals, 1t is just the thing for all
classes OF people and all should learn
at once that 1t is to their interest to
inquire into the merits Of this med.
icine. Ask your druggist for Pc
runa.

Something Perhaps He
Would Eat.

Heard good story on West
End minister last week. He is q
vegetarian Of the strictest order,
and in the course of his pastoral
career he was invited out to a
Sunday dinner by one Of the sis
tiers of the flock, whose name was
Smith. Old man Smith didn't go
to church that morning. His wife
told him to expect her to bring
home company to dine, and he,
with the aid Of the cook, laid the
foundation for superb repast.
Mrs. Smith came home, but all
the company she brought was the
minister. They were seated at
the table when this sort Of con-
versation ensued: "Mr. Jones,n
meaning the minister, "what part
OF the chicken do you like best z"
"Really, Mr.. Smith, l don't care
about any chicken" "Well, here
is some extra fine roast beef; try
some Of this" Excuse me, Mr.
Smith, will forego the beef" ~
have some tender lamb here; how
will that suit?" II never eat
lamb" "Well, now I know you
can't refuse this boiled ham,"
pardon me, but ham ! never did
touch" During all this time
Smiths father, an old, gray-haired
sinner, had been seated near him
watching operations, and, stand
ing it as long as he could, squeak
ed out in piping voice: "John,
maybe the - fool will suck an
egg The enjoyment Of that din
ner was spoiled.

BAEFIED.
BY CARL BRIoKETT.

It was summer time-that
bright season when the flowers
wake up and nod their arch faces
right in the face of the sun; when
the birds begin to rejoice, and the
fragrant, balmy winds blow back
and forth over the earth; and
when happy little children all over
the land laugh aloud in the sun
shine.
But in striking contrast to the
glowing beauty all around was the
pinched form Of poor, little, bare
footed girl who was walking up
the garden path. The farmhouse
door was open. The child gazed
in with hungry eyes, but when
Mrs. Halstead looked up and
saw her she turned to go.
''Come back, my dear; you look
as if you were hungry
AS if fascinated, the child drew
near to the kind, motherly speak
er.
ooh, ma'am, please say itagain!''
ssSay what? Do you mean INV
dear ?'n
eyes, yes; that's what the pretty
lady called her little girl when she
came to our house. She said it
ever so often, and oh it sounded
so nice"
sPoor child" said Mrs. Hal
stead, pityingly, "did no one ever
call you SO before? Where do
you live?"
81 don't live anywhere now; I
ran away from the poor-house,
and-oh!"- she almost cried
as she cast a longing look toward
the bountiful table-"I'm SO hun
gryp'
The eagerness with which the
almost starved child devoured the
food set before her, brought tears
to good Mrs. Halstead's eyes, and
a quick thought sprang suddenly
into her mind
When the little one had finished
eating, she drew her to her, and
pushing the tangled hair back from
the broad forehead, the kind wo-
man said:
"What is your name ?"
Margaret"
Margaret, you are alone and
unhappy; I have no children;
would you like to live with me ?"
"With your the hazel eyes grew
lustrous with a glad light. "Oh,
may II"
eyes, if you wish. I had a lit
tie girl once, but she was taken
away, and the father has always
wanted me to adopt one in her
place So if you will be a good
child, you shall stay"
Little Margaret nestled close to
Mrs. Halstead and looked up, her
beautiful eyes full of the gratitude
she could not express. When
Margaret was dressed in the gar
ments her little girl had worn,
Mrs. Halstead led her to her hus-
band, who was approaching the
house. A'lwas quickly explained,
and the old farmer said heartily:
Perhaps the Lord has sent
her, wife, to make up for little
