Crock OF Ages cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the ma den sung,
Fell the words uncOnsciously
From her girIish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sing the birds OF June,
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current of the tune
"Rock Of Ages cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee''
LET me hide myself in Thee"
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song as song could be-
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each might be
On some her lips a prayer
crock OF Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide IN ysclf in Thee"
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-
Twas woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know,
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wings the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred
Every syllable prayer $50
Crock OF Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Brock of ages, cleft for me-
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustngly and teuderly-a
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim,
'Let me hide myself in Thee "
Trembling through the voice and low,
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like river in its flow.
Sung as only they can sing
Who life's thorny paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behol the promised rest
Brock OF Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
crock OF Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above q coffin-l d;
Underneath, all restfully,
All lies joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore. O storm-tossed soul,
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from pillows roll
Wilt thou need thyselfto hide.
Cou the sightless, sunken eyes
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiffened bps,
Move again in pleading prayer.
Still, ave, still, the words would be.

Bleached Hair.

IL you decide to blondine your hair
there are several things which must be
taken into consideration. First of all.
are you willing to look artificial for the
sake of being a blonde? Second. do
you ever think 1t looks well enough to
pay for the second glance" of amuse-
ment, surprise, or slight disgust, which
every one you meet bestows upon youo
There are other reasons why it is not
wise, but those are the two most potent
things to be considered, for what wo-
man cares for health compared to
beauty?
That is just the trouble Bleached
hair is bleached hair wherever you see
it, and every one can spot It,
But above ALL 1t be distressing when
it is combined with dark eyes, lashes
and eyebrows, and the bleached woman
generally has that combination
However, it is frequently enough seen
with blue eyes, and even then it de-
ceiyes no one. If 1t were pretty there
might be some excuse for employing it,
but its metallic yellow cannot possibly
look natural, and what does no. look
natural does not look well
1t destroys the natural gloss and
makes the hair dry and hard, and no
amount Of brushing, curling or braiding
can overcome it.
But, above all, don't forget that 1t
gives an air of hardness (perhaps it
may be brilliant hardness in some cases.
but that is not much better) to the pref
test, most delicate face.-Chicago Post

WOman In Bnrmah.

According to H. Fie' ding, a writer in

Fielding. woman and man are on exact
~ the same footing. There is not sim
gle law which does not bear equally on
man and woman Men have never tried
10 say what is fitting and what is not
hitting for them. mo artificial ideals
from long-past ages have been held I'D
to them as eternal copies. It has been
left to their own good sense and to the
eternal fitness Of things to determine
what is wcmanly and what is not"
Mr.. Fielding says that no women pos
sess in greater strength all the name
less attractions Of woman. The men,
bers Of either sex are left to choose their
own occupations. and the men sew and
embroider as we'll as the women. He
further says:
The retail trade of the country is in
the hands Of the women. and they near
ly all trade on their own account. Just
as the men farm their own land, the
women own their own businesses. They
are not saleswomen for others, but
traders on their own account, and, with
the exception of the silk and cloth
fere with home life. The bazaar lasts
but three hours, and the woman has
ample time for her home duties when
her daily visit to the bazaar is over. She
is never kept away all day in shops and
factories. Her home life is always the
centre Of her life. She could not neglect
1t for any other 1t would seem to her
a losing Of the greater in the less. But
the effects Of this custom of nearly ev-
cry woman having little business of
her own has a great influence on her
life. 1t broadens her views 1t teaches
her things she could not learn in the
narrow circle of home duties. 1t gives
her that tolerance and understanding
which so forcibly strike every one who |
knows her. 1t teaches her to know her |
own strength and weakness and how to |
make the best of each
