Beautiful Things.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
Whole souled honesty printed there
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes, where heart-fres glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro ..a s
Down lowliest ways, if God will il so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care,
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains few may guess.

WIN tne Muse.
sPARK(LING) NEW CROWN SEWING MACHINE
She garbled a seam on a cheap machine
queer looking tumble of tangled loops,
And the awful screech of that snide machine
Was enough TO make her beau look green.
The cat that sang on the back yard fence
lung poised OH his tail in an awful trance;
The dog in the cellar yanked yowl,
For he never before heard aught so foul.
The young man rose as the row increased.
And smashed that machine in little bits.
IN buy you," he said, when the chorus ceased
"A machine that won't drive us into fits"
So he sent to Mains and got Crown,
And now they are married and settled down.
He bought Machine and an Organ too
One of Mains best, that can't be beat.
The dog yowls not and the cat has fled,
And the baby lies still in its little bed.
Au is Vel That Ends Vel.

And the tinkling dip of the lovers twain
Ran over the rim of my soul like rain.

Spoke their love. as through rifted skies.

Down the snowwhite keys that her fingers kiss d

And when it is played by sweetheart fair
The young man never wants TO leave her,
But is filled with ecsacy to the roots of his hair.

The following letter from the Rev. A. H.
WRIGHT, Pastor of St. Lawrence Street
Church, speaks volumes in praise of the Health
Lift, system of physical exercise which is
growing in favor the more it is becoming
known.
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
aud from actual knowledge OF the benefit 9th
ers have received who have used it systemati-
celiy aud perseveringly, / am prepared to add
my testimony to its great value as a simple,
sale aud agreeable means of physical exercise
for either man or woman. 1t will stimuli 4te
the blood, induca healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, but will simpls add that if pc ersons
OF s-dantary habits, like myself, who reqnire
more exerci 9 than they usually get, or 'fad
