About her forehead straylng.

To lips not made for song; and yet

And rocked her baby sweetly.
The woman's face, a look il wore
Like mine; and yet the rather
Twas like my baby's, larger grown,
Twas like my baby's father.
And as she sat swaying softly sang,
I saw some tear drops falling;
knew her thought, knew her heart
Her heart to mother calling.
A sudden passion filed my soul,
Ilonged TO soothe the weeping;
Ny baby stirred upon my breast
My baby gently sleepingl

Though was dreaming. may be,
Far down the future sits my child
And rocks my baby's baby.

was America Ever Discoverede

At the time when Columbus started in
search of the New World. nearly every man.
woman and child in Europe insisted that there
was no New WOr d to discover. When lie
came back crowned with success. a large pro-
portion of these good people adhered their
theory: and if they were alive to-day many of
them would doubtless insist that America had
never been discovered at all. A man will give
up anything in this world more readily than a
pet theory. For example, look at the individ-
uals who still maintain that consumption IS
ncurable. DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
cOvery has cured thousands upon thousands
of cases and VIII cure thousands more, but
these people can't give up their point. Never
theless the Discovery will cure any case of
consumption, if taken in time.

STRENGTH IN SUFFERING.

Bach weary heart that sorrow ellis
With some DER whelming woe,
Reaps with his own unnumbeI ed ills,
The tears that others SOW,
While sadness cumbers day by day,
And weary hours grow long,
Bright hope shall light the olouded way;
Then suffer and grow strong.
Yesi strong in suffering. strong in hope,
Strong hearts by conscience led,
'Gainst every bitter sin can oore
That rears its vicious head;
Bright germs Of hope surround each hsort,
The sunshine and the dew,
Regardless Of Affections smart
Then suffer and be true.
In the red battle field OF life,
It's turbulence and din,
In every scene in human strife,
Temptation, sorrow, sin,
That brings chill pallor 10 the face,
That mars domestic light,
And smothers every tender grace
Still suffer and be right,
Refined by suffering, overwhelmed
With thine and others cares;
BE true, be brave, be armed and helm'd.
'Gainst current wiles and snares;
Proud in thy strength, heroic pride
Can every i'll endure.
Though in temptation doubly tried;
Then suffer and be pure.
