The Model Church.

Well, W ife. | We found the model churc
And worshipp'd there To-day:
II made me think Of good old times,
Before my hair was gray.
The meeting house was finer built
Than they We're years ago.
Bur then found when | Went in,
1t WAS not hlUlt for show.
The sexton did NOT set me down
Away back 10y the door:
He knew that l was old and deaf,
And saw that | was poor:
He must have been a Christian man,
He led me boldly through
Tho long aisle of that crowded church
To find 1t pleasant pew.
l wish you'd heard the singing, wife,
1t lfad the old time ring:
Tie preacher said. with trumpet voice
Let all the people sing:
"0ld Cornonation was the tune,
The music upward roll'd
Till thought heard the angel choir
Strike all their harps of gold
My deafness seemed to melt away,
My spirit caught the fire:
| iuint,i my feeble, trembling voice
With that meluClious choir
And sang as in my youthful DAYS.
Let angles PROSTATE fail:
Bring forth he royal diadeln
And crown Him Lord Of all
Tell You, Wife, il did me good
Tu sing that hymn once more:
felt like some wrecked mariner.
WHO gets a glimpse of shore
almost want To lay aside
This WeatheI-heaten form.

All day long they come and go,
Pittypat and Tippytoe:
Footprints up and down the hall,
Playthings scattered on the floor,
Fingermarks along the wall,
Tell-tale streaks upon the door,
By these presents you shall know
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
How they riot at their play.
And, a dozen times day,
In they troop, demanding bread,
Only buttered bread will do,
And the butter must be spread
Inches thick, with sugar too!

Sometimes there are griefs to soothe,
Sometimes rutfled brows to SMOOTH

Tippytoe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
With an internecine spat:
Fie, oh, tie, to quarrel so,
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
Oh. the thousand worrying things.
Every day recurrent brings.
Hands to scrub and hair to brush, =
Search for playthngs gone amiss,
Many murmuring to hush,
Many little bump to kiss;
Lies indeed a fleeing show,

Little frocks are strangely torn,
Little shoes great holes reveal,
Little hose hut one day worn,

DEATH FORESFfN.

y painfully interesting story is given ON
the authority of e.. F. Fleet of No. 20
Grosvenor road, Gainsborough, England.
He swears to the authenticity of the facts.
The detailed story is full of the tragic fasc-
nation which attaches to the struggle of a
brave man. repeatedly warned of his com
ing death, struggling in vain to avert the
event which was to prove fatal and ultim-
ately perishing within the sight of those
to whom he had revealed the vision
The story in brief is as follows: Nh
Fleet was third mate on the sailing ship
Persian Empire, which left adelaide for
London in 1868. One OF the crew, Cleary
by name, dreamed before starting that on
Christmas morning, as the Persian Empire
was passing Cape Horn in a heavy gale,
he was ordered with the rest of his watch
to secure boat hanging in davits over the
side. He and another got into the boat
when a fearful sea broke over the ship
washing them both out of the boat into
the sea, where they We're both drowned.
The dream made such an impression upon
him that he was most reluctant to Join the
ship, but he ovcrcame his scrupleS and
sailed.
On Christmas eve, when they We're near
ing Cape Horn, Cleary had repetition of
HIS dream, exact IN all particulars. He
uttered terrible cry, and kept muttering,
81 know it will come true" On Christ
mas day, exactly as he had foreseen, Cleary
and the rest Of the watch was ordered to
secure boat hanging in the davits. Cleary
fatty refused. He said he refused because
he knew he would be drowned, that all
the circumstances of his dream had come
true up to that moment, and if he went
into that boat he would die. He was
taken below to the Captain and his re-
fusal to discharge duty was entered in the
log
Then the chief, Douglas, took the pen
to sign his name. Cleary suddenly look
ed at him and exclaimed, Il will 90 to my
duty, for now | know the other man in my
dream. He told Douglas, us they We're
on deck, of his dream They got into the
boat, and when they We're all making tight
IL heavy sea struck the vessel with such
force that the crew would have been wash
ed overheard had they not chung to the
mast.
The boat was turned over and Douglas
and Cleary were flung into the sea They
swan for little time and then went
down. 1t was just three months after he
had dreamed of it before leaving Adelaide

Tho Health Corset.

"corscts have filed more graves than

whisky is never put on the bargain
counter" The scientific world has ever
denounced the corset, but woman's

opinion steps the 'health bodice"
which will insure vast amount OF
comfort to any wearer, whether the
young mother, the growing girl, or the
woman who INDUCES in the luxury of
the ca-gown. 1t is an idealized slip

with embroidery, becomingly full and

For instances:
The first day this man was there,

and before it was II mass of struggling
people. Six or eight pcrspring clerks
were working like beavers to prepare
beverages for the thirsty crowd. The
rest of the store was deserted The
New Yorker stood and observed the
scene. He noticed that very few OF the
customers indicated what they wanted
to drink, but tho clerks seemed to know
it by intuition, and prepared it with
amazing rapidity ana discretion.

up and down, but nobody came to wait

The young man barely glanced at

the opposite wall, went on drawing
soda water. The sign read:
No prescriptions filled here on week DAYS
