DO you tell me " life is brief"
Like the flower or falling leaf;
Like n season in its flight,
Or day that fades with night?
All, my friend, to you 1t may thus seem
Life to me is one eternal dream.
Youth dream of sunny bowers.
Love in hiding 'mong the flowers,
Age with clouds and sunset glow,
Dreaming ever as we go;
Drifting outward toward the farther shore
Dreaming as the boatman bears us DER;
Where, in golden dream and real,
There to find our dream ideal -
Life and love amid the flowers
Endless dream in heavenly bowers.
Dreamers are we all, then sweetly dream,
Happy they whose visions fairest seem.

What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-pluns" 49, the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at a dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. +. Teller, NJ. D., of Chittenango,
n. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action is the concise testimony
of DIR. George +. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.
Ayers Pills outsell all similar prep
arations. The public having once used
them, will have no Others" - Berry,

Irish Girls Naturalizlng.

Pittsburg special: In the United States
District Court to-day a young Irish widow
named Hamll renounced her allegiance to
Queen Victoria AID was made Il citizen OF
the United States. 1t is said this is fore
runner Of q movement which will include
all the Irish women in America. The idea
seems to be that more perfect action San
be taken for the liberation OF Ireland with
all these people naturalzed. Girls who
come into this country under elgh-
teen years OF age need not take out
first papers, aud the second papers
cost them but $1.5O. Once naturaized,
they say that when their letters home 60
astray or are destroyed, they will have the
United States to Inquire after them. All
women born in foreign countries become
citizens when they marry citizens here. The
Irish girls are to qualify by renounc nP all
allegiance to Queen Victoria, ard will thus
be ma natura.ized without waiting for hus-
bands.

WASHINGTON, January 19.-The hrst skir-

revenue reform took place to-day in the
Ways and Means Committee. Mcmillan
made motion to refer to the Appropria-
tion Committee various bills referred to the
committee that had been received from the
public printer and adopted. Mr.. Mckinley
then moved to take up and consider his bill
repeating the tobacco tax. Some discus

the Democratic majority was averse to
considering any specific reduction bill at

OF bills in connection with general tariff re.
