TO AN EAGLE

On me the sun has set, the lowlapds lie
Dim in the purple folds of early night.
But thou, gray cruiser of the charities sky!
Dost steer thy SLOW, underwriting flight
Full in the suns unciouded glare.
The world is bright around thee, thy strong
breast
Parts flashing streams of keen. ethereal fire;
Aslant the ardent splendors OF the west,
On STILL curved vans thou mountest ever higher
Through scintillatng zones of air.
Prom what far quest through the white gates Of
morn,
Beyond the peopled east, returnest thou!
Toward what sheer solitary mountain born
In tho primeval wild art voyaging now!
Thou haunter of unbarriered space.
watch thee soaring up the sleeps of light,
Half doubling thou art aught of mortal birth.
Toredoomed to hunger. WEAKNESS and blight
And wntry change of this controlling earth,
Like our slow footed. wingless race.
Aloof in lore aerial equipoise.
The roar of inextingSIishable strife
Melts round thee like a faint, unmeaning voice,
And to thy sight the myriad maze of life
Is but blurred, phantasmal scene.
Away strong soul! Thouleavest time and death,
Disheveled grief and midnight walking care
To crawl the dim abyssmal world beneath,
Whilst though in deeds Of golden dusk dost
fare
Far through the measureless serene.

will hardly bear inspection st any

it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out Of order and diarrhea or consti-
patton may be q symptom Oh the
two may alternate. There are often
hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or natulence
and tenderness III the pit of the

Something That The sosso 81 Eik Point Should
Read
After several years absence from
the village of Hannibal I returned
to it. On going back / found that
time had wrought the greatest
change among those I had left as
children. Ono day / was in a mcr-
chants store when q youth came in.
He did his errand and went out.
Something in his manner lead me
to ask who he was. My friend, the
merchant said, "You viii be sur
prised when / tell you that he is
Mr.. Ms son. Then he went on to
say: aFor years | have watched the
children of this town grow into
their teens l nave more than
once marked a boy in knee-brecches
and told myself when he was old
enough I would try to secure him
for one of the departments of my
business. But as he outgrew his
short pants, he also out grew the
summer terms of school, and the
Sunday-school. He began to smoke
cigarctts, to swear, to- stand on the
street corners. TO sit Oh store steps
and swap small talks with s~enseless
simpletons. Then / have had to
bid goodbye to my boy, and trans
fer my hopes to another"
Just then a lady came from her
carriage into the store and asked
my friend to show her some sum
mcr silks, he passed by TO serve her,
and I was left to reflect on his words.
Since then / have said to more than
one promising boy. MY young
friend, | have read with pleasure
your advertisement, and testimoni-
ais, for a place of trust by and by
And when the look Of surprise ask
ed what ! meant, | have said:"Your
language, which is free from slang
and profanity, your polite manners,
and the good company you keep are
your advertisement, aud your bright
eyes, fair cheek, and elastic step are
your testimonials. They testify
that you are free from habits that
undermine health and morals. Now
there is a man Of wealth who wants
you for a place Of trust by and by.
The place viii demand keen over
sight, and only a man who has
strong physical and moral strength
can fiji it. But, in return for its de-
mands it pays well. Now, keep
your advertisement where the man
Of wealth can read ii whenever he
meets you. Keep your testimoni-
ais clean for the inspection Of any
one to whom it may concern, and
mark me, boy, by the time you
want a place, the place will want
you, and won't have to wear out a
pair OF shoes TO find it,n-Hannibal
