She sat on the porch in the sunshine
As went down the street
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was a bloss m sweet
Making me think Of a garden,
When in spite Of the frost and snow
OF bleak November weather,
Late fragi ant lilies blow.
heard a footstep behind m
And the sound Of merry laugh,
And knew the heart it anne from
Would be like a comforting staff
In the time aud the hour Of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong
One Of the hearts to lean on,
When we think all things 60 wrong.
! turned at the click of the gate latch,
And met his manly look;
A face like this gives me pleasure,
Like the page OF a pleasant book.
1t told Of a steadfast purpose,
OF brave and daring will;
A face with promise in IL
That God grant the years fulfill.
He went up the pathway singing;
saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with a worldless welcome,
As sunshine warns the skies.
Back again, sweetheart mother"
He cried, aud bent 20 kiss
The loving face that was lifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on;
hold that this is true
From lads in love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grew.
Earth's grandest hearts have been loV
hearts,
Since time and earth began;
And the boy who kisses his mother
Is every inch man.

How to Put 1t Ont.

Zinc, placed upon the fire in a stove
or crate, is said to operate as an effective
exhnguisher of chimney fires. Accord
ing to this representation, when fire
starts inside chimney, from whatever
cause, piece of thin zinc, about four
inches square, is to be put into the stove
or crate connecting with the chimney.
The zinc fuses and liberates aciduous
fumes, which, passing up the aue, are
said to almost instantly put out what
ever fire there may be.

Little stars with golden feet,
Wandering in the realms of light
Soft move nor wake the earth
Smmbering in the lap of night.
Silcn stand the listening trees.
Every lca0et now an ear
While the dreaming mountain sends
His deep, solemn shadow here,
Flowers Of beauty, rich and rare
Breathe their fragrance on the air.
Harkl What music do hear
Floating on the air so sweet2
ls't the nightingale that sings,
Plaintive in her lone retreat?
No, It's she wlom adore,
Singing Of her hope and love-
While the stars with golden feet
Wander pensive, far above,
And all nature seems, ike me,
Filled with wondrous ecstasy.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from tritiing or unconscious ex.
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in al cases without delay.

BRUTALLY BEATEN.
efescE ROBINSON ASSAULTED By TWO MEN
on FRIDAY EVENING.
Edwin ". MacGonigle Repeatedly Uits
Z Him with n Black-Jack. and Chas. u.
Donneiiy Uses Hts Fists Upon Him.

George Robinson, of the City hotel bill
liard room. was cruelty assaulted ON Fri
t,ay evening and the results may be serious
for his assailan!s, Edwin II. MacGonigle
and Charles Il. Donnelly. shortly before
& o'clock, Robinson, who had been told
that Mact'onigie made remarks rejecting
seriously on the character of his sister, saw
him pass the City hotel and called 10 him.
MacGonigle, accompanied by Donnelly
walked up to him. Robinson invited them
to go back In the yard to talk the matter
over, and the three men walked through
the reading room and bar room 10 the yard.
The three men talked for few minutes,
the difficulty was apparently settled, ana
the men were returning TO the hotel ana
had about reached the rear door. Mac.
(acnigle was in the lead, and as he reached
the door he turned to Robinson, who was
a few feet behind him, shook his fist at him
and with an oath said he would see hiin
again about the matter at another time.
Robinson, after MacGonigle said this,
struck at him, but was too far away 10
reach him. Donnelly was behind ROBIN
son and the moment Robinson struck mt
MacC;onigle, he struck Robinson power
ful blow on the back of the head. This
staggered Robinson, and as he fell forward
Mact;onigle struck him ON the head with a
black Jack, making terrible-looking
wound.
This blow knocked Robinson senscless,
and while he was so MacGonigle and Don
nelly kept on beating him and when Rob
inson was PROSTATE both men kicked
and jumped upon him until they were
tired, when they ceased their murderous
attack.
As MacGonigle was walking away from
him he put the black Jack III his pocket
and with an oath said, 81 told you would
whip the big -"
Blood flowed freely from Robinson =
wounds, large quantity, probably a
quart, escaping from them.
Robinson was taken TO the office OF DR..
Davis, where his wounds were dressed and
then taken to his home on South Queen
street.
The assault was witnessed by only ono
gentleman and he was not in a position to
prevent IT, There was no noise made by
the assailants. In a few minutes the affair
was over, but in that short time Robinson
was struck many terrible blows.
There have been no suits entered as yet
by Mr.. Robinson. His friends think ht
should not allow his assailants to go free
and that it is his duty to make complain
against them and have them punished, a
it is not the first time Mac''onigle ha
figured in similar affairs.
