Long Ago.
AS though the popuiar's gustly spIc
The March wind sweeps ana sings,
I sit beside the hollow fire
And dream familiar things,
Old memories wake; faint echoes make
Amurmur Of dead Springs
An, days when life had aim and meaning
What, buried years agoi
when frlend-no shadow intervening
Was friend, and foe was foe;
When life had youth, and love had truth,
And heart had faith to show.
somewhere now woods are green and tender;
somewhere hedgerows, are filled
With buds; somewhere, If winds bcfriend her,
The thrush begins to build;
somewhere no fears has Spring, no tears
For hopes that March has killed.
Sing, thrush, your songs OF praise and passion;
Fill all the budding wood
With music OF That by-gone fashion
My youth as understood.
Now am old, the worlds grown cold,
And God alone is good

There is no denying the fact that KINsEY's
Tonic is medicine of wonderful merit. A num-

they would not be without the medicine If they
had to pay FIVE dollars bottle for it, One gentle
man enthusiastically declared it was worth Ave
hundred dollars abottle. From personal knowledge

Tact and NO Tact.

A subject destitute of tact had better
not converse with monarch. A King
or Queen is sensitive to contradiction,
and seldom smiles while receiving "tit
for tat" The following anecdotes H.
lustrate this fact:
Henry Carey, n cousin to Queen
Elizabeth, after having enjoyed her
Majesty's favor for several years, lost it
the garden of the palace under the
Queens window, she asked him, in q
jocular manner
What does a man think when he is
thinking of nothing?"
The answer was a very brief one.
Upon a woman promise" he replied.
''Well done. cousin" said Elizabeth.
Excellent"
Some time after he solicited the honor
of peerage, and reminded the Queen
that she had promised it to him.
True" said her Majesty, "but that
was a woman promise"
One of the most distinguished Incl
dents of Zimmerman life was the sum-
mons which he received to attend Fred
erick the Great in his last illness in
1886.
One day the King said to his eminent
physician: "You have, presume, sir,
helped many a man into another
world?''
Any ordinary person would doubtless
have been scared by so momentous an
inquiry. and it was. in fact, somewhat
bitter pill for the doctor; but the dose
he gave the King in return was q Judi
cious mixture of truth and fiatterv
mot so many as your Majesty, nor
with so much honor to myself"
The testy old monarch must have
found in the remark food for reflection.

ly to look after the pigeons. Lfttla
Marie was sweet, gentle little girl
and the pigeons all knew her and
would come at her call; but there was
one very ugly little pigeon that nobody
else would have noticed much or cared
for, that little Marie took under her es-
pecial care. This little pigeon was de-
voted to her little mistress; she would
perch on her shoulder, kiss her as well
as q pigeon could, and indeed display
an amount of gratitude and affection to
the child that was quite wonderful in
any bird.
One day, when little Marie happened
to be away from home for short time,
an Englishman came to her fathers
house to buy some pigeons. He was q
good customer, and made large pur-
chase of many expensive birds. and then
said. just as he was going away. that he
wanted them for birmingham = you
know that is the place where cruel
men, who call themselves sportsmen,
shoot the poor little pigeons. BY some
ill chance, Marie's little pet bird, whom
she had named Laidrone-the French
for 'ugly one"-was among those Of
she common pigeons taken away by the
Englishman. You may imagine the lit
tie girls distress when she found, ON
her return home, that her pigeon was
gone. And when she knew the sad
fate for which it was destined, she was
inconsolable. She implored her father
to write and insist upon having the
bird back again, but this he declared
it was to late to do. So the child could
only cry bitterly, though quietly, and
60 about the house, looking pale, sad
little likness of her former merry self.
But now comes the wonderful part of
the tale. One day little Marie was
feeding the pigeons out in the yard,
when she saw little dark speck in the
air coming toward her. She watched
it as it came nearer and nearer, and
she could scarcely believe her eyes
when there fiutterd down at her feet
her own dear little ugly pigeon Lai-
drone! uglier, though, than ever now,
for the little creature had been deprived
OF her tail by one of the Nottingham
sportsmen. Yet the affection Of that
little bird and her courage had enabled
her to fly back to her little mistress all
those hundreds of weary miles tailless.
How she had found her way is mys-
terry.
You may well suppose that after this
the little pigeon was greater pet than
ever.--PHiiadelphia Call.

Story OF a Pet Pigeon.

Would you not like to hear an ac-

have been told the story, and believe it
to be quite true. / fancy my little
friends win be as much touched by the
story as Twas
In certain town in Belgium lived a
man who kept . great many pigeons.
He bred them to sell. He had all sorts
Of these pretty birds-pouters, fantails,
carriers. nuns. and all kinds of pigeons
that you ever beard of. For some he
was paid . great deal Of money-for
those that were very handsome or were
of q rare kind; but now and then there
appeared amongst the number of his
pigeons poor little ugly one, and then
| am afraid it was killed or sold for
next to nothing.

daughter, who used TO love her father 8
pretty birds very much; she used to

Excellent Fun.

"Now, boys, l will tell you how we
can have some fun" said Charlie to his
companions, who had assembled one
bright moonlight evening for shedding,
snowballing and fun generally.
What is itP' asked several at once.
You shall see,' replied Charlie.
Who's got sawP"
a have. So have l." replied three
of the boys.
''Get them; and you and Fred and
Nathan each get an AK. and l will get a
shovel. Let's be back in fifteen min
utes."
The boys separated to go on their
several errands, each wondering of
what Use saws, axes and shovels could
be in the play. But Charlie was ia
vorite with all, and they fully believed
in his promises, and were soon back
again for the fun.
"Now," said he, "Widow Bradley
has gone to sit up all night with sick
child. A man hauled her some wood
to-day, and / heard her tell him that
unless she could get some one to saw it
tonight she would have nothing to
make fire with in the morning. Now,
boys, it will be just as easy to saw,
split aud pile up her wood as TO make a
snowman on her doorstep, and the
surprise of the first will be better than
that of the last What say you, boysP
One or two of the boys objected, and
could not see the fun; but the majority
went for it with the inward satisfaction
and joy that always results from we'll
doing.
1t did not take long for seven smart,
healthy boys to split and pile up that
load OF wood and to shovel good path
from door. step 10 wood-pile. They
felt great pleasure and satisfaction over
their fun; and then all went 10 neigh
boring carpenters shop, where shaw
ings could be had for carrying away, and
each brought an armiul. Then they
went home with light and joyful hearts.
The next morning, when the poor
weary widow returned from watching
at the sick bed and saw what had been
done she was astonished, and tears Of
gratitude ran down her checks. She
wondered who had done the kindly
deed, and when afterward told, her fer
vent invocation, "God bless the boysp'
would have richly repaid them, could
they have heard il. - Youths Erami''er.
