Growing Old.

Growing Old.
Softly softly the years have swept by thee,
Touching thee gently, with tenderest care:
Sorrow and death they have often brought nigh
thee,
Yet have they left thee but beauty to wear:
Growing old gracefully,
Gracefully fair.
Far from the storms that are lashing the ocean,
Nearer each day to the pleasant home light:
Far from the waves that are big with commotlon,
Under full sail and the harbOr in sight;
Growing old cheerfully.
Cheerful and bright.
Past ali the winds that were adverse and chilling.
Past all the islands that mred lee to rest
rast all the currents that lured the unwilling.
Far from thy course to the Land of the Blest;
Growing old peacefully,
Peaceful aud blest.
Never a feeling of envy and sorrow,
When the bright faces of children are seen;
Never a year from the young wouldst thou borrow,
Thou dost remember what lieth between;
Growing old willingly.
Thankful, serene.
Rich in experience that angels might covet.
Rich In q faith that hath grown with thy years
Rich In a love that grew from and above it.
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears;
Growing old wealthily,
Loving and dear.
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve;
Many a face at thy kind word has Frightened
1T Is more blessed to give than receive"
Growing old happily,
Ceasing to grieve.
Eyes that grow dim to the earth and its glory
Have a sweet recompense youth can not know;
Ears that grow dull to the world and its story
Drink in the songs that from Paradise flow;
Growing old graciously,
Purer than snow.

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this
statement before a justice of the peace
II. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after severe attack or
brain fever, my hair all came out. used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
scians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought a
growth of hair in a few weeks. 1 think
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as restorative, but liked it
as a dressing, and have continued to use it
for THAT purpose. 1 believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

Every one in the car was now in
breathless suspense, for the tunnel was
near.

for the lamps were burning, turned
down low enough to be unobserved in
the daylight, but with the fame which
gathered life underground. And the

with startled eyes. It wasn't so bad

..Editing" Hotel Bills.

me for carriages, wines sent to my

and all sorts of things never enjoyed.

He would fairly dance about me

train the kind porter, who was inter
ested in my convenience, and the en-
terprising landlord, who was interested
in my pocket, looked almost as blue as
my bill after I had finished with it.
