unknown man who came to ask IL

Near the camp-fire's fllckering hight,
In my blanket bed 1 lie,
Gazing through the shades OF night
AZ the twlnkling stars of night.
Der me spirits in tho air
Silent vigils seem to keep,
AS | breathe my childhood's prayer
Now l lay me down TO sleep"
Sadly sings tho whipporwill
In the bows OF yonder tree;
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody.
Foemcn may be lurking near,
In the canyon dark aud deep;
Low breathe in Jesus car
II pray the Lord my soul to keep"
Mid the stars one face ! see,
One the Saviour called away;
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain brake;
Take me to her Saviour, dear
''If l should die before l wake"
Fainter grows the tlicltcring light,
AS each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds of night,
Fill the air with saddenlng cries.
Over me they SEEM to cry:
'You may ncvermore awake"
Low l lisp, "lf l should die,
/ pray the Lord my soul to take"
"Now I lay me down to Sleep
j pray the Lord my soul to Keep;
II I should die before l wake,
l pray the Lord my soul to take.

No; that's going a little

steels in it. Steels will break.
We don't mean the steels;
but they are not the part
that troubles corset-breakers.
What we mean is the
"bones don't break. The
reason is they are Kabo, not

This corset that never
breaks is the Kabo. mysteri-
Gus Kabo, wonderful Kabo.
