THE BANKS OF ANNER.
BY TIE LATE DIR. JOYCE

In purple robes old Slievenamon
Towers monarch of the mountains,
The first to catch the smiles of dawn
With all his woods and fountains
His streams dance down by tower and town,
But none, since time began her,
Met mortal sight as pure and bright
AS winding, wandering Amer.
In hillsides gleam OF woodland 8 groom,
Der fairy height and hollow,
Upon her bands gay fiowerets bloom
Where'er her course follow;
and halls of pride lowered Der her TIDE.
And cleaning bridges span her,
AS laughing gay she wines away,
rrhe gentle, murmuIing Amer.
There gallant men, for freedom born,
With friendly grasp will meet you;
There lovely maids, as bright as morn.
With sunny smiles will greet yous
And there they strove to raise above
The red, green Ireiands banner;
There yet each fold they Il see unroied
Upon the banks Of Amer.
IT'S there wen stand with bosoms proud,
True soldiers of our iceland.
When freedoms wind blows strong and
loud,
And floats tne.sfia& Of Ireland.
Let tyrants quake, and doibiy shake
Each traitor the trepanner,
When once we raise our campfire blaze
Upon the banks OF Amer.
God be with the good Old days,
The days SO bright and airy;
When to blythe friends / sang my lays
In gallant, gay Tipperary;
When fair maids signs and witching eyes
Made my young heart the planner
OF castles rare, built in the air.
Upon the banks OF Amer.
The morning sun may fail TO show
His light, the earth iiuming.
Old Slievenamon to CLEAN and glow
In autumn's purple blooming;
And shamrock's green no more be aaen,
And breezes cease to fan her,
Ere forget the friends met
Upon the banks Of Amer

The Salt Cure.

In these days, when diseases of the
throat prevail, 1 would advise those
thus afflicted to try my remedy-com-
mon salt. For the past two years ]
have suffered more or less with dis.
agreeable sensation in my throat, as
though it had splinters in it, and
fancied at some time or other 1 had
swallowed pin or a lawyers fish
story, and one of the bones had re-
manned sticking in my throat. De-
termined to ascertain, if possible, the
cause of my trouble. called to my aid
my medical works, which are by no
means limited and under the head of
throat diseases found it to be a
laryngitis, which alarmed me not a
little. A friend advised me to use
strong salt and water as gargle
which l have done the past two
months, and my throat is we'll. put
heaping teaspoonful of coarse salt
(LiverpooD in lumber of water, and
gargled my throat thoroughly thru e
times a day, before each meal, and the
last thing on going to bed, and, in ad-
dition to that doubled linen hand
kerchief twice, four thicknesses, wet it
with the salt water, and pinned it
around my throat, placing over that
two thicknesses of dry flannel. A
friend told me she always broke up a
cold in that way, and by shifting it up
her nose. The gargle is not pleasant
to the taste. l always use it, diluted
to battle my eyes. 1t is very strengthen
ing. and at it is good for the throat, it
must be good for the ewes also.

He Got His Answer,

In New Hampshire is a we'll known,
eccentric individual, self-constituted
curer of all ills-a sort of panacea.
''body and soul, heart and conscience
doctor,'' who with all his &C.
centricities, has fund of actual wit
that is hard to beat.
Not long ago the doctor called upon
the witness stand. The opposing coun-
sci, who is said sometimes to wet
whistle with flicker pizen,' knowing
the doctors peculiarities, ventured,
in cross-examining him to show him,
up bit.
''What is your business?' pompously
inquired the counsel.
my business is to do what good |
can do to my fellow-men,' modestly
responded the doctor.
''But that does not answer my ques-
tion,' grufHy answered the counsel.
''How do you spend your time?'
why, square, it takes about all the
time to do what l said,'' replied the
doctor.
But 1 want something more
definite" stoutly demanded the
counsel. ''How do you 90 about your
business?'
THAT depends upon circumstances,
according to the nature of the case.'
explained the doctor. For instance,
if l were going to begin on you, the
first thing l should do would be to
advise you to sign a temperance
pledge.'

Calendars.

By the Julian calendar, established
by Julius Casrr 46 B. c., the months
were reconstructed. The Roman year,
which began March first, had ten
months, but two months were
added, and the year began Janu-
airy first, as now. The number of days
to each month was arranged as we
have them now. AS The Julian year
had three hundred and sixty-tive and
quarter days in length it's length ex-
ceeded the true solar year by eleven
minutes and fourteen seconds, so that
the equinox in the course of centuries
fell back several days. To correct the
error, Gregory XIII, in 1882 reformed
the calendar by suppressing ten days,
restoring the equinox to March twenty

first. The Gregorian calendar also
made every year divisible by four with
out remainder a leap year, except
the centisimal years, which are leap
years. of which the first two figures are
Invisible by four. Thus, 1900 was a
leap year; 1900, 1900, and 1900 COM
mon years. The mean year is now
twenty-six seconds longer than the So
lar year, VIII ch would make differ
ence of one day in three thousand,
three hundred and twenty-five years.
The Gregorian calendar was adopted
by Germany in 100, and by Great
Britain in 1862, when fifteen days were
dropped from the month of September.
Russia still uses the old style.

Obituary..

WooDwARD.-Mrs. Matte Newhall Wood
ward wife of Daniel Woodward of Water
bury, died of bronchial pneumonia Friday,
May 20th in her thirty first year, after
sickness of only two weeks Seldom has
funeral occurred in our community which
evinced more sincere regret and profound
sympathy than shown in the burial service
of Mrs. Woodward on Sunday afternoon
Probably three hundred people were pres
ent, many of them old friends and neighbors
of her childhood. She leaves three young
children. Her labors and anxiety for them
in their recent sickness, in addition to the
other burdens of the household likely rem
dered her more susceptible to the disease
and less likely to recover. May these young
hearts ever prove worthy of her who thus
toiled for and loved them to the end Space
would fail us to speak of the many kind
things said of Mrs. Woodward by those who
knew her best and longest. She had very
lovabe nature. Her unassuming ways, her
warm, kind heart, thoughtful and sympa-
thetic for the wants and feelings of others,
endeared her to all who knew her
Her occasional testimonies in the prayer
meeting, full of self-depreciation and cling
ing trust in her Savior, showed that the re-
ligious side of her nature had not been
neglected. In the early translation of her
dispelled rests down upon that pleasant
home, recently so joyous and full of earthly
promise. And yet all of its inmates must
feel the gloom somewhat mitigated in the
faith that without doubt beyond these
shadowy lands she is blessed inhabitant
OF world where, with holier affections and
higher powers of service, she ever lives for
them. The family have the sympathy of
the whole community.
