Verify the Alliance is not dead nor

attacked and maligned by some of the
partisan press. DO thev hope to
create breach in the Alliance and
thereby cause US to lose confidence in
our leaders? Our affections grow
stronger and stronger every day for

those whe would hinder eur sause by
wilful misrepresentation is constantly

Recipes OF Longevity.

Freedom from care is about the only
incidental advantage that has been uni
versally recognized as factor of longev-
ity. About hereditary predispositons
there is no doubt, but the comparative
benef.ss of cold and warm climates are
still controverted, and the possibility Of
averting premature death by abstemious-
ness has been altogether denied by some
physicians who claim that tendency to
consumption and kindred disorders can
be counteracted only by generous diet.
Teachers, parsons, pensiOned officers, and
well to do farmers ha attained longev-
ity Ia all parts of the civilized world, but
their health theories differ amazingly.

you can walk on few PAGES in front

what had become of his guardian, the

Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. "I am farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter l was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got we'll
drenched in a shower of rain. /
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until had
to seek relief. / consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of BoscheeTs German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. l
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, / was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since. "

ON AN OLD WOMAN SINGING.

Sweet are the songs that have heard
From green boughs and the building bird:
From children bubbllDg o'er with tune
While sleep still held me half in swoon;
And surly bees hummed everywhere
Their drowsy bass along the air;
From hunters and the hunting horn
Before the day star woke the morn;
From boatmen in ambrosial dusk,
Where, richer than a puff Of musk,
The blossom breath they drifted through
Fell out Of branches drenched with dew.
And sweet the strains that come to me
When In great memories l see
All that full throated quiring throng
Go streaming on the winds of song;
Her who afar In upper sky
Sounded the wild Valkyrie's cry,
NTH golden clash Of shield and spear,
Singing for only gods TO hear;
And her who on the trumpels blare
Sang "Angels Ever Bright and Fair"
Her voice, her presence, where she stood,
Already part Of angelhood.
But never have heard in song
Sweetness and sorrow so prolong
Their beinR-as hushed music rings
Along vibrating silver strings
As when, with all her eighty years,
With all her fires long quenched in tears,
A little woman, with look
Like some flower folded in book,
Lifted thin and piping tone,
And like the sparrow made her moan,
Forgetfh that another heard.
And sang till all her soul was stirred.
And listening, oh, what Joy and grief
Trembled there Ike a trembling leaf
The strain where first love thrilled the bars
Beneath the priesthood of the stars;
The murmur of soft lullabys
Above dear, unconsenting eyes;
The hymns where once her pure soul trod
The heights above the hillsOf God
All on the quavering note swoke,
And In a silent passion broke,
And made that tender tune and word
The sweetest song ever heard.

To Keep Up with His Grandson,

There is good deal of honor in
being a grandfather and deal of per-
sonal satisfaction, generally speaking, in
being a grandson, but one of the most
pronounced proofs of happy relations
between grandfather and grandson that
| ever heard of is now going on in this
city. The grandfather, about seventy
years of age, has earnestly taken up the
study of French because his grandson,
about TO graduate from the Michigan
university, expects to spend the next two
years in France as finish to the ac-
quirement of an education. When he
returns he will. of course, speak French
huently, and the old gentleman does
not intend to be found wanting in that
direction.-Detroit Free Press.
