The Road to Yesterday,

Wilt some wise man who has journcved
Over land and over sea
To the countries where the rainbow
And the glorious sunsets be
Kindly tell little stranger,
Who has oddly lost her way,
Where's the road that she must travel
To return to Yesterday
For, you see, she's unfamiliar
With Today and cannot read
What its strange, mysterious signposts
Tell of ways and where they lead,
And her heart upbraids her sorely.
Though she did not mean TO stay
When she fell asleep last evening
And abandoned Yesterday.
For she left deal neglected
That she really should have done,
And she fears she's lost some favurs
That she fairly might have won,
so she'd like TO turn her backward
To retrieve them If she may
VIII not some one kindly tell her
Where's the road to Yesterday

Here, then, today, with faith as sure,
With ardor rs intense and pure,
As when amidst the rites divine
| took thy trOth and plighted mine,
To thee, dear love, my second ring,
A token and n pledge bring.

Thy ripper virtues to my heart
These virtues which. before untried,
The wife has added to the bride
These virtues whose progressive claim,
Endearing wedlock's very name,
My soul enjoys, my heart approves
For conscience sake as well as loves.
For why? They teach me, hour by hour,
Honor's high thought, affections power,
Discretion's deed, sound judgments SEN

And teach me all things-bul repentance.

QUESTIONS OF AMMUNITION.

Similarity Between the Wise Commander
and the Provldent Housewife.
1t Is clearly merely truism to assert
that guns, unless they have shells and
POWDER are of no more value to IN
army than market carts. To feed the
voracious appetite of a great line of
batteries belching forth shell and
shrapnel is almost as arduous task as
to insure their accuracy Of aim or their
correctness of movement into position.
To find them in projectiles is part of
the science of war as necessary and as
difficult as to obtain food for the men
or fodder for the horses.
A carefully planned and accurately
working scheme OF supply has to be
arranged behind the fighting line, the
closest connection between consumer
and producer has to be established,
and the caterer of bullets is every whit
as Indispensable as the caterer of bread
To keep the stream of plenty flowing
without check through, the various
channels it is necessary that officers
should be fam iliar with their size, ex-
tent and construction, that each should
have ocular demonstration of the acci-
dents and obstacles that are sure to
intervene. and practical experience Of
the best means of obviating or over
coming them.
The commander who directs and en-
courages the hot fire in front must
keep watchful eye on the ammu-
milton columns behind, like the provi-
dent housewife who, while pressing
hospitality on her guest in the dining
room, does not leave the state of the
larder out Of her calculations.-Satur-
day Review.

She is the girl who persuades you
that to stay at home and care and love

your pleasures at home and where the
home people can see them, is stupid
and tiresome; and that spending the
afternoon walking up and down the

that your own simple gowns are dow "

love for fine clothes.
She is the girl that persuades you

She is the girl that persuades you

Willie lay down, and in a few min.
"tes had forgotten all about the little
men in a sound sleep. When he awoke
IN the morning the first thing he
thought of was the narrow escape he
mad had in the night. At first he
thought he would tell his mother
about 1T, but he knew she would tell
him it was only dream, and he
thought he knew better than that, for
1t really seemed as if he had seen the
men and talked with them. Willie's
father noticed the next day that he
was rather more quiet than usual, and
dld not know what to make of it. He
knew that his mother had promised to
take him on the cars if he did not med
die all day, and so he thought he
would try him and see if he had forgot
ten his punishment. He took a
box into the room and nut it
on the table. Willie saw him set
the box down, but he remembered the
warming of the little men, and did not
go near it, though he heard a noise in
the box, and wondered whp4 u was.
About an hour later his father came
in for the box. Willie was in the room,
and his father was pleased to see that
he had not meddled with it. There
was live mouse in the box, and if VIII
lie had opened it the mouse would have
got out. and then his father would have
caught it. Willie did not know this,
OF course, nor did his father for min
ute think why Willie did not touch the
box, for he did not know of the visit of
the little ten-pin players.
Willie went with his mother on the
cars, and from that day to this he has

lie is often the butt of ridicule, the

for the dull young man. He is not

Many a dull young man, who was the
subject of constant sneers and cruel
jests, has at length developed into a
mighty manhood and astonished the
world. A famous historian says: al
though great men are often heralded
by the promises of their youth, it is
not always so; for, like Goldsmith,

hickory nuts, and then mix in enough
flour to make the dough stiff enough
