The countryman who couldn't see the
ensemble OF great painting for looking at
its fly specks has many parallels IN life.
Oae Of these is witily described in the
Lily Dale correspondence Of the Buffalo
Express: Mrs. Carrie E. S. living, psyche
metrist aud clairvoyant Of considerable
note told on the platform recently OF how
II woman came from long distance to her
home iu WestiielG for spiritual conSulta-
tion. "My psychic powers were unusually
penetralivc," said Mrs. Twing. II seemed
10 see the won ans lie spread out before
ne in Il series If vivid pictdrcs, In addi-.
tion to this, | saw clear and repeated
visions Of many Of her spirit iriendi, de.
scribed the same and gave their names.
Bat while was in the midst Of spirit
delneation the woman interrupted me and
said: That's all right, but / know all
about them dead folks just as well as you
DO. What | want you to tell me is who
poisoned my dog"

ALAS! He Is DEAD:
There was man who never It'd lie
But he's dead;
Never said he was wet when the weather
was dry
He'd caught fish when he hadn't caught
one.
Never said he done something he hadn't
done;
Never scolded his wife and never got mad,
Aud wouldn't believe that the world was
50 bad.
A respecter Of E'er, u defender OF woman,
Who believed the divine aud that which
was human.
| Meek as MOs9s.-he never was under TODD,
And the poor man died OF being too good.
Aud he's dead.
