pAEN JENNY RODE TO MILL WITH me-.

When Jenny rode to mill with me,
The daisies barred their bosoms,
The spring winds rumpled every tree
And stirred a storm of blossoms.
Tho squirrels scampered from the hedge,
The COWS were in the clover,
The lilies trimmed the rivers edge
And dus1y doves flew over.
The white road seemed to welcome us,
By shaken dewdrops dented,
The groves with song We're tremulous
By lonely violets scented.
The mad wind seemed to envy all
The curls beneath her bonnet,
And let the dew dashed blossoms fall
In twinlsling showers on it.
How we'll the way old Milton knew
In all the springtimo weather,
His back was broad enough for two,
And so-we rode togctherl
He loitered in the light and song,
He ilntw the spell that bound me,
And that the way was never long
While Jenny's arms were round mel
The rose had then no cruel thorn
To mar the moments blisses,
The miller took his toll in corn,
And took mine in kisses.
But time has left us far apart,
Yet, though the years are many,
The dear old road runs round the heart
That frames the face of Jenny,
And would give the world to SEQ
The daisies milk white bosoms
Where Jenny rode to mill with mo
Amid storm of blossoms.

The old story of Prometheus is parable,
an allegory. Prometheus was on terms of
Intimacy with the gods. From them he
stole FIRE, and gave it to men. For this sin
he was bound to the rocks of Mount Cau-
casus, and vultures we're set upon him.
They only ate his liver. This grew again
as fast as 1t was pecked away. Are his suf-
ferings to be imagined? Yes, and realized.
Take a modern interpretation of the par
able. There is no cooking without fire. In
cooking and eating the mischief lies. The
stomach is overtasked, the bowels become
clogged, they cannot dispose of the food
that Is given them The impurities back
up on the liver Then come the vultures.
The sufferings from an outside, visible
hurt are mere pin-scratch to the torments
of diseased liver
But, moderns are ahead of the ancients.
There is a sequel to the old story. DR..
Pierce Is the author. His Golden Med
ical Discovery" is more than equal to the
vultures of dyspepsia and its kindred dis
eases. Every atom of the Discovery" Is
an active agent against disease. 1t flies
like ferret, wherever 1t is sent. 1t Is as
sure as the needle of the compass. There
Is no more need of suffering from dyspepsia
than there Is of hanging ones self

CHRISTMAS CAROL.


Written for the Christmas Festival of
Trinity Church, Boston, by Rev. Phil
lls Brooks
The earth has grown old with its burden
of care,
But MT Christmas il always is young.
The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and
fair,
And lis soul full of music breaks forth
on the air,
When the song Of the angels is sung
1t is coming, Old Earth, 1t is coming
tonight,
On the snowflakes which cover thy sod,
The feet of the Christ-Child fall gentle
and white,
And the voice of the Christ-Chid tells
ont with delight,
That mankind are the children of God
On the cad and the lonely, the wretched
and poor,
That voice of the Christ-Child shall
fall,
And to every blind wandcrer opens the
door
OF hope that he dared not dream of
before,
With a sunshine of welcome for all
The feet Of the humblest may walk IN
the field
Where the feet of the Hottest have trod.
This, this is the marvel to mortals re
vealed
When the silvery trumpets OF Christmas
have pealed
That mankind are the children of God

USES OF WOOD PULP.
Magnitude of Its Consumption Really
Serious Matter

Magnitude of Its Consumption a Really
Serious Matter.
Wood pulp is now extensively used as
a composition for holdings and decorative
purposes in private and public buildings.
In the manipulation of this composition
beautiful effect can be Obtained by mix
ing in it the various aniline colors-
strong or tinted--or those known as
metallic colors. Bronze powders of va
ried colors may also be used with pleas
ing results. BY the use of this material
all the better qualities of fine grained
wood are obtained without any of the
drawbacks of shrinking or expanding on
account Of atmospheric conditions.
The eXteu to which the wood pulp
business has been developed in this
country is not generally known. The in
roads on our forests. which it's growing
consumption for railway ties, building
and requirements of the press involve. are
enormous. SO serious has this matter be-
come, it is stated, that, unless each State
passes a law for the encoura cement of
tree planting. so that our woods can be
replcnished, there will soon be a tree
famine.
As giving an inkiing Of the magnitude
of the general consumption of wood pulp,
a correspondent states that for single
edition of prominent daily paper seven
teen tons of blank paper WAS recently
REQUIRED. This was the product Of sixty
seven cords of poplar. In twenty-five
hours from the time OF telling the trees
II had hern turned into printed papers.
The process IL thus divided with respect
to a test ease: Chonpng one and one-half
cords Of wood. three hours: manufactur-
ing into puip. twelve hours: transporting
To printing Office, one hour and twenty
minutes: voting paper preparatory to
printing, thirty minutes: printing 10000
copies, ten Minutes This shows the
IN niditV with which raw material NAV he
