LONG AGO.

/ once knew all the birds that came
And nested in our orchard trees,
For every flower had a name
My friends were woodchucks, toads and
bees;
I knew where thrived in yonder glen
What plants would sooth stone bruised

Oh, was very learned then,
But that was very long ago.
knew the spot upon the hill
Where checkerberries could be found,
knew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed pound J.!
knew the wood-:he very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew me
But that was very long ago.
And pinins for the JOYS of youth,
tread the old familiar spot
Only to learn this solemn truth:
1have forgotten, am forgot.
Yet here's this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things used to know;
To think once was wise as he
But that was very long ago.
I know it's folly to complain
OF whatsoer the fates decree,
Yet, were not wishes all in vain,
tell you what my wish should be:
I'd wish to be boy again,
Back with the friends used to know.
For was, oh, so happy then
But that was very long ago.

1t was then, about ten years ago, that
the idea occurred TO- charter steamships
to transport the fruit. It proved suc-
cessful beyond the expectations of the
most sanguine. 1t was discovered that
not more than FIVE per cent. of the fruit
shipped pe1ished On fast voyages, The
Government was then induced to lift the
duty off the frui;. From that time on
the trade grew even faster than at first
and the demand always kept ahead OF
the supply.
Seeing the rapidly growing and sue
cessful business in the the fruit at Bar
acoa, capitalists started groves in jana
ica, Aspinwail, Honduras, Bluchelds,
Limon, and kept clearing the
wooded country about their places and
putting in banana trees.
At first American steamers were chaf
tered for the trade, but they soon began
to put up their charges for transpo!Ha'

vessels crept in and crowded OFT the
American ships.

What a Somerset (Pa.) County Man Thinks of
the Invalid's Hotel and Surgical Insti-

luCe, Located aJ bunalO N. L.
w. H. Miller, of Stoyestowp, Pa,
who has been suffering for nearly a
quarter Of a century from an affection
of the kidneys, resulting in theme
cessity for surgical operation, after
consulting and being treated by a
number of our own doctors, as well as
receiving the treatment and advice Of
some of the most eminent professional
men of the land, finally became
acquainted with the above Institute,
and their mode and means of treat
ment. After due correspondence with
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso
citation, the proprietors of the Inval-
ids Hotel, he was induced to visit said
institution. On arriving there and
after being fully acquainted with the
abundant means they possess, he lost
no time in making the necessary ar
rangements for the required treat
ment. After remaining for nearly
four weeks at the Invalids' Hotel,
where you receive the kindest and
best treatment, and where patients are
10th to leave, after recovery, he re-
turned to his family and friends a
cured and happy man.
In giving this to the public Mr..
Miller wishes to say that he owes the
aforesaid institution nothing but his
hest wishes. And the fact that his
own success and great relief is due to
similar testimonials from others who
we're successfully treated there for all
manner of chronic diseasesfrom every
state and territory of the union, Can
ada, Mexico and South America. II
is marvel of success. He further
says should this fall to the notice Of
any sufferers from chronic diseases
such as seem to battle the skill of your
own physician-but first and above
all to give your own physicians fair
and impartial trial, and all the avail
able means offered, as Somerset county
may Justly feel proud of her medical
men, who spare no means nor time in
the treatment of all cases entrusted
to their charge. And if they fail, in
many cases it will be an act of charity
to point you to place where proba-
BILE cure may be effected, which is the
humble intent of the above commune
cation. The above association is
courteous, prompt and reliable
