Or muse alone upon my earlier days.

The story of my busy life;
Mistakes too often. but successes more.
And consciousness of duty done.

OF children sporting ON the lawn.
Or mark the eager strifes OF men
And nations, seeking each and all.

Of great events near or afar,
Whereon may turn perchance
The fate of generations, ages hence.
Ii is 10 rest with folded arms betimes,
And so surrounded. so sustained,
Ponder on what may yet befall
In that unknown mysterious realm
Which lies be- ond the range of NORA ken.
Where souls immortal do forever dwell;
Think OF the loved ones who await me there.
Aud without murmuring or inward grief.
With mind uubroken and no fear,
Calmly await he coming of the Lord.

The question of whether women shall
smoke or not has evidently not yet been
settled. Any woman who has lurking
desire to be enrolled under the banner
of the fragrant leaf will do well to read
this caution from Mr.. James Payn.
Says he:
"It is noticeable that when this prac-
tice among women is advocated the
lady smoker is always represented as
young and beautiful and handling her
cigarette as if it were flower. From
an artistic point of view feel bound 10
confess that no lady of mature years
and inclined to stoutness should venture
upon this enjoyment"
