POETRY.
OLD SONGS.

Like springtime's brightest flowers,
Or birds across the sea
Returning to their bowers,
The old songs come 10 me.
The dear old songs Of childhood,
The songs we used to sing,
And make the scented wildwood
With glad young voices ring.
The songs that once came yelling
From hearts untouched by care,
Within the humble dwelling.
When all the world seemed fair.
And. oh, my heart reioices
As in the days of yore
In dreams I hear the voices
Grown silent everymore.
Their music thrilling through me
Like some half-whispered prayer,
Ihe old, old songs come 10 me
On trembling wings of air.
And / believe those voices
Are singing as Of old,
Where every heart rejoices
And love can meier grow cold.
Somewhere, some time, together.
l trust, untouched by pain,
In fairest summer weather,
Wen sing those songs again.

Over the grave uncared for; MOSES
green
Obscure the name upon the stone un-
clean.
But sometimes, dear, find my heart has
fiowE
Back to old love, who once was all my
own;
And the long years that since have
rolled between
Evanish, and you are again my queen,
My love, my kingdom and my crown and
throne.
Some foolish word, some song you used
TO sing,

Some trife happens, and my soul doth
wing
Back to the past, with its too fieeting
bliss
/ kiss you feel your arms about me cling
Forget cruel time-nor know his wide
abyss.

saving the lives Of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There Is not a household In which this
invaluable remedy has once been In
trOduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there Is not person
who has ever given it proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible Of cure, who has not been made
well by 1t.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients In the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t Is q
medicine that only requires to be taken In
small doses, is pleasant to the taste, and IA
needed In every house where there are
children, as there Is nothing SO good as

Gus private game rooms, a public restaurant,

tiful finish, wherein four faro tables, four rou-
lette tables, and two red and black tables are in
nightly use. Charley Ransom is the manager
but he is understood to have the partnership
and backing of several capitalists. The play is
heavy, and chips representing over nineteen
thousand dollars at a time were risked

which Ransom paid promptly and they returned

cottagers has been aroused by the undesirable
notoriety which The Branch has got as the
worlds greatest gambling resort, and the
gamblers are frightened. Their plumber has
been unprecedented thus far this season, owing
to the expulsion of gamblers from
