In brown holland apron she stood in the kitchen;
Her sleeves were rolled up and her cheeks all
aglow;
Her hair was coiled neatly, and indscreetly
Stood watching while Nancy was kneading the
dough.
Now, who could be neater or brighter or sweeter,
Or who hum song so delightfully."- low,
Or who look so slender, so gracefully tender,
AS Nancy, sweet Nancy, while kneading the
dough?
How deity she pressed it and squeezed and ca
ressed it,
And twisted and turned it, now quick and now
slow;
All! me, but that madness I've paid for in sad
ness!
Twas my heart she was kneading as well as
the edough.
At last, when she turned for her pan to the dres-
ser,
She saw me and blushed and said shyly:
"Please 60,
Or my bread'li be spelling, in spite of my toling,
If you stand here and watch while I'm knead-
ing the dough-"
begged for permission to stay: She'd not listen;
The sweet little tyrant said: "No, sir no. no!'
Yet when had vanished ON being thus banished,
My heart stayed with Nancy while kneading
the dough.
I'm dreaming, sweet Nancy, and see you in fancy,
Your heart, love. has softened and pitied my
woe;
And we. DEAR are rich in dainty wee kitchen,
Where Nancy, my Nancy, stands kneading the
dough.

Nor A RELIABLE FIRM.-A man brought
home some rat poison one evening. His
wife mistook it for something else and ate 6
quantity of it. They had a terrible time
that night, but the lady's life was saved.
"It was a close CALL" said the doctor
next morning, "she ate enough of it to kill
dozen persons, but fortunately the poison
had been in the store long time and most
of its strength had evaporated."
Some months afterward the husband was
asked if Messrs. PonltiGe & Co. were relia-
bic druggists to deal with.
81 wouldn't recommend them," he said
"they swindled me once on some rat
poison"

about to close, and peace was soon to dawn
upon the country. But what, may we ask,
was this achievement, when compared to
that accomplished by Jesus Christ? He
came to grapple with our enemies. He came
to lead us to victory. He came to bring life
and immortality to light. He came to save
sinners-to free them from sin and take them
to heaven. Finally, we may add, he accom-
plished all he undertook.
