:MEMoRY.s MUSIC.

The old man sits in tho sunshine of the autnmn
And Memory, over and over, sings to the same
old tune, ss
While the dpened leaves are falling like rain on
his silver head,
A song Of the days that's vanished and tho t1ear
ones that IRE dead. -, =
1t sings Of the beautiful summer that came with
dream of love, -
TO make fair world faircr. ''True heart, In the
world above,''
He whispers low, as he listens to the song by
Memory sung,
'rhc love win live on forever that ca,Ae while
We were young"
There comes change in the singing-a lullaby's
low refrain;
He hears the heart Of the mother beat in the
music's strain;
He sees her again with her baby Graded upon
her breast;
And, forgetting the graves on the hillside, his
heart Is abrim with rest.
Then through the lullaby's cadence . low, sad
minor creeps,
And again by the baby's cradle the old man
kneels and weeps:
The sound Of the mothers moaning is heard In
the sOrrowful strain
The plant Of arms that are empty where q lost
little one has lain.
o, wonderful memory music, in whose strange
measures blend
The sorrowful things Of lifetime, and the Toys
that never end;
Over and over the dreamer's past is lived each
day.
As he sits at lies twilight thinking OF those
- who are far away.
And yet, at his side forever are those whom he
loved 30 much;
He feels his dead wiie's kisses, and tho babv-
fingers touch.
Thank God, o gray haired dreamer, that when
the heart grows old,
The magic Of Memory's music keeps out LIES
frost and cold.

The wisest men can learn something.

The hog for profit, says a writer, is

an error as ever found its way into print,
but it is popular one.
If that SOW is stuffed with corn, do not
spend time next spring in wondering
why the litter has not done better.
Corn is not what either the SOW or the

WlLKIE COLLINS FAILURE.

He Came to America to Read but was
Compelled to Quit.
In 1873 Mr.. Collins visited the United
States and was cordially received, al.
though his public readings from his
novels were not successful. His appear.
.ance in Philadelphia was notable one.
Mr.. Collins had appeared two nights be.
fore for the first time, in Albany, and
there were mysterious hints given out
that he had greatly disappointed his
hearers and saddened the hearts of his
managers. In Horticultural Hall, how.
ever, he was welcomed by a very large
audience, and q very friendly one, rep.
resenting the culture Of this city. The
programme called for the reading Of an
original ghost story. Some peculiar
English paraphernalia in the way OF an
odd-looking sounding-board, made of red
muslin, and a little desk, were the great
novelist's environment, and he was
earnestly admonished, before going on
the platform, that he must keep up his
voice and read slowly and distinctly.
every thing started off we'll, but in less
than ten minutes the readers voice sank
almost to mufRed undertone. What
the story was about not one-third OF
those present could tell, and those in the
front seats who could hear seemed to be
more Disguised than those in the rear.
An hour passed, when the reader, unfor.
tunately for himself, took recess.
When he returned nearly one-half his
audience had disappeared, among them
the leading representatives and editors
Of the Philadelphia newspapers, aud
some from New York. Mr.. Collins plod.
ded along until the weary end, and it
was the end of himself as we'll as his
''ghost" in this country. He had bank.
rupted his managers, and few days
later, after making a formal appearance,
with like Ill success, in two or three
other towns, he set sail for England, q
sadly disappointed man. The press al.
most with one accord declared him the
worst of bad lot of English platform
readers who at that time were making
annual raids upon the finances of the
American people. Record.

The advantages of this brooder are:
l. The cold air is warmed and passes
under the mother, thus giving constant
warm air and constant ventilation, the
heat itself being fresh air. 2. The
smoke of the lamp is carried above the
mother, and can not affect the chicks.
8. The dead air space between the floor
and heater-box (M) prevents too much
bottom heat. 4. Two lamps lone on
each side) may be used if desired, pro-
vided division is made in the wooden
box. s. The lamp, being outside of the
box, does not become overheated, but is
always cool, thus avoiding smoking. 8.
If preferred, piece of tin may be used,
as shown by the dotted lines (T), in
order to concentrate the heat of the
lamp by reducing the space in the box.
The box, NJ, only slopes on two sides,
and extends across the whole of the
wooden box, and is consequently yard
square, the ends next to the lamp and
smoke-stack being only half an inch
high. while the ends on the other sides
are one inch high at the center, as
shown in Fig. 8. If preferred, the holes,
A A, may be on the other sides, pro-
vided box NJ slopes from those sides.
The brooder should not be too warm
on the floor. If such is the case false
floor may be used over the floor. The
proper heat should be about ninety de-
grees half way between the floor and the
bottom of the mother. At night the
heat may get rather low. It is just
right when the chicks sit near the edge
of the mother, which is simply board
with strips of cloth tackled around it and
cut in strips. If the chicks crowd to-
getner at night, more warmth is neces-
sary. If chicks are found dead in the
morning, or have bowel disease, it indi-
Gates that you have not given sufficient
warmth. Keep chicks confined to the
floor Of the brooder for q week before
giving them more space. The brooder
will hold one hundred chicks.

CA1'ARRH.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Homo Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose an0
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
