THE WEARY MODEL.

One day, an artist in his studio,
Upon his model draped quaint old gown
OF some rare Indian stuff, wove long ago
OF countless mellow shades of gold and
brown:
Sunshine and shadow, like the shining hair
That Raphael made his sweet Madonnas
wear.
Silent and passive, as if carved of stone,
Stood the young model in her loveliness:
For now the tireless artist sought alone
To paint the sold-brown simmer OF the
dress;
Nor mnst she stir the robe which flashed and
shone-
Hers 10 he patient and be wrought upon.
At last the sinuous folds were all complete;
Like a soft wave they bathed the plant girl,
And, ripping from the shoulders to the feet,
Fell on the carpet in siIken swirl;
And then the artist on his canvas wrought.
Trying to paint the language of his thought
All day the coiors from his pencil flowed
Until it seemed as if some wondrous spell
Possessed the hour, and like radiance
glowed
In the fair lines that ON his canvas fell;
And as the hours, down-shod, went slipping
past,
His dream of fame seemed blossoming at last.
See how the witchery of that old dress
Makes "A soft mirror of the canvas, where,
With something like a lovers tenderness,
He adds faint glints of lustre here and there,
Almost to his quick fancy the folds stir
W 18th their old scents of rosemary and myrrh,
Just then the weary girl forgetfnl grew
And swept a hand along each flowing line.
Alas, hundred rippIes straightway flew
In answer to that little needless sign,
The glistening folds were changed from belt
to hem,
All the familiar grace gone out OF Them
The startled girl looked in he artists face
And read the story of his loss aud pain.
She could not call the lines back to their place,
Regret and signing We're alike in vain.
Naught can revive an inspiration dead,
The golden vision had forever fed,
W hat lesson, OH my soul, is here for thee
That eh idest this poor model over-muehs
To stand henceforih more still and patiently
Beneath the fashoning of Gods fine touchi
For ah, what grace by the Great Artist planned
Has been effaeed by thy impatient hand,

People who are forever disparaging the
town in which they live and were born,
sensibly says an exchange, not only cast
diseredit on their progenitors and their
friends, but they show their lack of per-
sonal energy, the daring to do something
by going abroad TO improve their own
condition. To speak grudgingly or con-
temptuonsly Of place in which one lives
is the meanest of all criticisms. No mat
ter what the conditions of town are, the
people who live there should not charac-
terize them in such a way as to bring re-
proach on them. If things in a town are
not what they should be, let the people
strive to improve them, but don't hold
things up to the scorn, to ridicule and con-
tempt Of outsiders by exaggerating them
to all hearers. There is no place like
home, be it ever SO homely. MacGreggor,
the Scottish chief and warrior, expressed
his regard for home when be exultantly
and defiantly declared. MY foot is on my
native heath and my name is MacGreggor"
People who stand up for their cities and
towns-who strive to advance their inter-
ests and advocate their advantages, are
they who carry them forward in welfare
and increase their Importance. To dis
parage ones place of residence or birth, is
a sign OF a lack Of proper manliness, that
amounts to demerit in any individual.

What am 1 TO do

The symptoms of Biliousness are un.
happily but too well known. They differ in
different individuals 20 some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom IA breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of "a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if il is not white and
furred it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be
4 symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fiatulence and tenderness in
the pit OF the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect cure try Green's August
Flower, it cost but "a tritie and thousands
attest Its efficacy. 2.
