The OLo FRIENDS.

The OLD friends, tl.o old friends
We loved when We We're Young,
With sunshine on their faces ~
And music ON their toupues.
Ihc bees are in the almond flower,
The birds renew their STRAIN,
But the old friends, once lost 10 w.
Can never come again.
Tho old friends, the ole frionts
Their brow is lined with care;
They We burrows III the faded check
And silver i'll the hai-.
But 10 ne they are the old friends still
In youth and bloom the same
As when we drove the flying ball
Or shouted III the game.
Tho old men. tho old men,
How slow they creep along!
How nauchtily we scoffcd ut them
In days when we We're young!
Their pressing and their doing,
Their prata of times gone by,
Their shivcr like an aspen leaf
If but II breath went by.
But we, we arc the old men now,
Our blood is faint and chill:
We cannot leap the mighty brook
Or climb the brcakneclz hill
We maunder down the shortest cuts,
We rest on stick or stilc,
And the young men. half ashamed to laugh.
1ct pass us with smile.
But the young men, the young men,
Their strength is fair to see
The straight back and the springy stride,
The eye rs falcon free,
Tho shout above the frolic wind
AS up the hill they go,
But though SO high above us now
They soon shall bc rs low.
Oh, weary, weary drag the years
AS life draws near the end
And sadly, sadly fall the tears
For loss of love and friend
But We'll not doubt there's good about
In all OF human kind:
So heres health before we 20
To those we leave behind.

CURED BY CYCLING.
Strange Experience OF Grand Army Man
with Paralysis.

One of the latest triumphs of the BIZ
cycle is the cure OF paralysis. q. A.
Boettner of Brooklyn was afflicted with
paralysis in che legs, having sustained
stroke four years ago. Ii was after he
had undergone his suiierings for many
months and the physicians whom he
consulted had failed TO relieve him that
some of his G.. A. r. comrades who
were devoted to tho bicycle urged him
to learn TO ride. He laughed at the idea
of n man who could scarcely stand alone
attempting to sit wheel, but they per-
sisted that it wonld save his life
Impressed with this nc consulted u
New York nervo specialist who told
him to "a ahead under specific direc-
tions. MI. Bocttrer got hold of "a Sl5
boys wheel, on which to make the
trial. He was lifted on the wheel, held
on the seat and pushed along by friends.
But he found he could not follow the
pedals with his feet This difficulty was
met by strapping his feet TO the pedals.
For six weeks he was wheeled around
Prospect park for an hour or more each
morning by friends with his feet tied to
tho pedals.
Il began to feel better after three
days said Mr.. Bocttner. AT tho end
of six weeks tho cold water and prickly
sensation had almost entirely gone. I
finally became able to ride alone and got
we'll speedily. "-Philadelphia Press
