Little foxes of expense

Little foxes of. expense lamp chimneys-they cost a trihe apiece; but theybreak SO!
 That is a needless extrava- gance. There are chimneys that do not break; they cost no more at your dealers than brit. tie ones if he has them; and he will get them if you insist.
 Brittle chimneys make dou- ble appeal to a dealers cupidi- ty. Cost is almost nothing and sales are constant.
 ; , Tough chimneys costm more at wholesale, but not enough more to compel a higher price. The dealer loses the difference. Then they last indefinitely. It takes a bright man to see his advantage in selling them. '' Pearl-top" @ chimneys, made by Mac V beth & Co.,, Pittsburgh, are tough.

The rose is sweetest still in death.
Yielding its last delicious breath
Most richly decked the woods appear
At the sad limit of the year
There is no splendor in the sky
Like that when the fair day doth die
And when some stormy harmony
Hath reused our sense to ecstecy,
The clearest, lovliest notes of all
Are chose that last and lingering fall
So when some noble soul doth part.
Quitting earth joys without a moan,
To face with brave and steadfast heart
The shadows of the great unknown,
Then, though with griefou eyes may fill
Onr hearts must beat, our bosoms thrill,
That, Of all honors life could lend,
There's naught became him like the end.
