Wonderful!

Wonderful! scientist old had oft been told Of strange monsters in the deep That came out from their homes in oce.s
 caves To disport themselves in the saline waves, When landsmen were sound asleep. In mermaids rare and wondrous fair, And serpents fathomS long, That could wreck a ship with a blow of then
 tail, Or churn the sea like a northeast gale, His faith was far from strong. In full dress coat with telescope He boarded a dainty barque And turned its prov to the deepest main; Hes crazy" the 1andsmen cried "'tis plain, Or he'd not sail out in the dark" 'I know" said he, "and quite agree That for fishing 'tis rather late, But fish not as others, with rod and line I scorn the use of both wood and twine, Though take bottle of bait" He piled the until far from shore, And the moon arose large and green; Then shiRped his oars and took up his glass And eagerly peered in the deep, but alas! Not single creature seen. He happily thought of the bait he brought, And its virtue quickly tried, When up from the depths with many twist Came mermaids, who at him their fngerv
 kissed,
 And snakes galore beside. With bated breath, and still as death, He watched their antics rude, And if from his sight they d float away, He would use more bait without delay, Though trembling at what he viewed. When the morning gray chased the mist away A boat came in on the tide In the bottom limp and all in 0 heap Lay the scientist, wrapped in slunber deep; A bottle was by his side The story he told till worn and old Of his vision terribly grim, But his friends who knew said he went to sea Not for the science, but jamboree And his yarn was fishy and thin.

Be Happy.

Are you glad, in your heart, are you thankful For the blessings to-day hath given! Do your thoughts arise with glad surprise To the throne of grace in Heaven! Do you feel, can you weigh all the pleasure That has fallen around your life! How much have you won at the setting sun Of that peace beyond the strife? Do you smile are!your spirits ascending, When the day Is dark and drear! Or do you forget in your selfish 1t Tho many days that are fair? Do you weep, do you shrink from the future, With its burden of care and pain? After weary night, with its darksome blight, Comes the bright, glad dawn again. Do you sigh when the shadows are deep ming, And the fair. happy day is done! Oh, well will it be on your life's broad sea If your course has been we'll run. Then rejoice when your fate smiles upon you. And beneath the shadows of woo Forget not the joy with tho dark alloy, For 'tis sure to come-and go.
 Ella J. Fl. Sellingham, in Troy TimeS
 In Autumn Days.
 Night brings with her a breeding chill, As hastening OCT the eastern hill She softly comes to chase away
 The tiresome tumult of the day.
 To sleep you sink-oh blissful rest Of all our earthly pleasures best! When Earth, with sable curtains drawn, Admits gray bearded, halting Dawn, Iris then that from your bed you rise And stand and shiver in surprise
 To find that by some means unknown The atmosphere has colder grown. You strike a fiickering, blinding light, Then seek the closet-useless quite; The mattress then you raise on high And drop again, with weary sigh
 You hurry through the house, but como Back to your chamber, cold and glum. You don your clothes against your will, Compelled by the increasing chill. The question still returns, unbid, Where are those extra covers hid!

READABLE RHYMES,
The K1mo Is Here.

The K1me Is Here. There is time which all men fear, The season Is at hand; When Discontent lifts up its head To scan 8 grieving land. The iceman leaves you double weight, And makes you heave sigh To think how welcome 'twould hayo been Some time in last July. The plumber grins and waits with glee The bursting water pipe; The coal man grabs your pocket-ocok At one stupendous swipe. The fiend who haunts each office room Will see but to ignore The sign with letters big and bold, Which says: Please shut the door," The actor soon will walk the track And wish he had Q sled. You catch cold and sit and wish ~ That you were good and dead.

The True RessOn-Wssh Day Ma" Easy.
There is reason in everything y ut not
every reason given is true. About flashing
clothes, for instance, common sense and the
chemistry of everyday life teach US that GER
tain things must be done, while others may
be left undone. Clothes must be made
clean, sweet, pure and wholesome without
either injurng the fabric or the hands of the
laundress. If these objects can be attained,
it does not matter as to what methods are
used, and the soap or soap powder, no mat
ter what it is called, that will admit of the
most varied methods of use is the handiest
Some things, however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the
clothes I'd all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to do this is by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self-agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt, and disease
breeding microbes, as they can be ceansed
in no other way-and without in any man
ner injuring the fabric As there is no
royal road to learning, neither is there any
easier, surer or safer way of washing clothes
clean and freeing them from all disease
breeding microbes or bacteria than by using
Pyle's Pearline, and to strictly follow the
directions accompanying each package.
Above all things, avoid any soap or soap
powder that does not work to best advant age
in ho. water.-Amertcan 4naiySt, " Y.
