THE HOUR GLASS.

BY FLORENCE sELBH.
~rve watched the sands that down the houf-glas
run.
ss:s.,s sMinthey flow
How smoothly, swiftly. marking old times hight,
That needs must go.
And as the sands adown the hour glass-aow.
So flows life's course
As down the stream of time they glide
With gentle force.
And swift, yet swifter, flow the cleaning sands
That bid me part
From thee, dear home Thy image e'er shall be
Within my heart
In whatsoever cline my wandering steps
May exiled roam.
Faithful as fall the untirlng sands ri turn
To thee. dear home

The Doctor who Succeeds.

A physician who understands human
nature, who plays with the baby, makes
friends with the children, and listens to
the woes Of the good wife and mother. says

the master of the house most cheerfnlly
pays the largest bills. II isn't the medi-
cine that's bottled up, but it's the comfort
and consolation that are unbottled that
mark the broad line between an nnsuccess-
ful and a popular physician,

BLUE EYES.

Written for the Democratic Advocate.
BY FLORENCE sELBY.
Oh, blue eyes Oh, sweet blue eyes
Fixed on me in mild surprise,
DO they know the havoc they
Wrought TO one that fair spring day?
Do they care, oh, heartless things.
That their liquid glance Oft brings
Days of happiness or woe
To fond hearts that love them so?
Dear blue eyes, that, sparkling bright,
Fill my heart with strange delight
Laughter-loving eyes. oh, pray
Are yon wicked as they say?
Bright blue eyes fear It's true
So to rest unframed by you,
must flee this very day,
Sad blue eyes, what do you say

city nnd Country.

The city person, It is wei known, is
often as much a ''greenhorn' in the
country as the country person is in the
city. a girl who had been accustomed
to certain city squares and exclusive
parks, whose high barred gates were
closed at Il fixed hour every night, made
her first visit to the country. She was
being taken about through the lanes and
fields by her mother when the sun set.
''Say, mamma" said the little giri
''hayent we got to go in2 What time

The Country greenhorn" in the city
has this advantage over the "city green
horn" ia the country, TINT he does not
put on airs Of superiority on all occa-
sions. It was a city 10y in the country

when they conflict with those given by
the children he explains tho reason for
