Tn. soap Of tho Anclent..

Pathological critics have observed
that the words translated as "soap" in
the Old Testament and in Bohn's
''Pliny" mean properly alkali, and that
the ancicuts generally used only me-
chanical abstergents, such as bran and
fine sand. Perfumed ointgnents, how
ever, were considered TN indispensable
requisite Of every civilized household,
though they have now gone as strange
ly out of fashion as the incense of the
Mediterranean nations. The Greeks
ard Romans used special ointment,
often mixed with mineral dyes, for tho
hair and another for purposes of gen.
eral Injunction, and, after returning
from a journey, even travellers of mod
crate means took bath, followed by
an all-over rubbing down with vege-
table oils. Black hair dyes were priced
by the tow-headed visigoths, while the
Roman ladies coveted the golden locks

A MESS AGE,

Over the hills, where western sunsets shine,
And over sandy plains and murmuring seas
OF southland pine
itspoke to happy friends of happy days
OF dear spring days ere yet our hills grow
brown,
Ere yesour ships SO gayly sent to sea,
In storms go down.
But now, tonight, as bright the fireligh,
shines
/ speak to those who never saw my face,
To newer friends, in crowded city streets,
Or lonely place.
Who know me only as a bird that sings
The song he must at earliest peep Of dawn,
Often like one with poor brown bosom
pressed
Againsta thorn.
If but one rote has sounded true and clear,
II one SAT heart has happier grown through
me,
If, in the dark, deaf ears have learned to
hear,
Blind eyes to see,
Dear friends not yainly have my songs been
sung,
Not vainly do / sing this song anew,
The one heart-song, erewhile for older
friends
Now sung for you,
Thank God, as do, by your lonely fires.
For hearts once filled and lips once salts.
fed,
With pitying thought for all those sadder
souls
So long denied,
Who passing down life's bitter weary road,
Find only stones in place of daily bread,
Whose lips have gone unkissed, whose hun.
cry hearts
Were never fed.
The freight fades, the glowing embers fall,
The muffisd footsteps pass and die away,
The streets are silent, and afar the fields
Lie bleak and gray
AS gray as all my after days shall be;
Yet hear the gospel of my faith confessed,
l say it softly say it you with me;
"Yet Love is best"
