ON THE VERGE.


Standing where the sunset EN- hers,
Crumbling, fall adown the skies.
Autumn muses. and remembers,
Bending stern regretful eyes.
The imperious purple burning
From her cheek hath burned away,
And her bosom feels but yearning
For the golden yesterday.
Though her kingdom fall asunder
Through seditious Winds and frost.
And the drums Of winter thunder
And she sees that all is lost,
Yet her royal pride insureth
That none whisper word of scorn;
Haggard. battled. she endureth,
With u spirit upward borne.
Eyes that love her grieve serenely
At the pathos Of it all,
In her bounty free but queenly,
Now unbending in her fall.

Holding the trout at the end Of the line,
Singing its song with note so fine.
Now with whistle, now with long whe-e-e,
Now with loud shrek Of triumph to me,
Holding the fish AS it darts away,
Gurgling and laughing at every play
Still singing for joy in its piercing key
Whirls the reel crazilee.
Around, around. with Joyous sound,
The reel whirls merrilee--
Patiently, ctaselessly, following each sign,
Now Keeling, now losing. length Of the lins,
Now with a whistle, now with long
whe-e-e,
Now with low hum Of triumph to me-
As reel til trout in, which in vain dashed
away,
Then, laughing for joy ct success Of my play,
And enLing its grand song in soberer key,
Wkirls the reel merrilee.

a lightning conductor for carrying of

The Art of Eating.
Three Good Rules Based on Hygionic
Principles.

Never sit down to the table with
an anxious or disturbed mind make
it point to lay aside all worry for
the time being, and indulge in all the
gayety and pleasantly possible during
meal time. There was good philoso-
ply in the old.tlme custom of having a
buffoon or music at the dinner table.
Never sit down to meal immedi-
ately after any intense mental effort,
for physical and mental misery are
inevitable, and 70 one has right to
deliberately injure body or mind.
Never so to full table during
bodily exhaustion - designated by
some as being used up, over-done,
worn-out, tired to death, and the like.
The wisest thing to be done under
such circumstances is to take a
cracker and cup of warm tea, and
no more. In ten minutes you will
feela degree of refreshment that will
be pleasantly surprising to you-not
ofthe transient kind which glass of
liquor affords, but permanent. The
tea gives present stimulation and
little strength, and before it subsidies,
nutriment begins to draw from the
sugar and cream and cracker, thus
allowing the body gradually and by
safe degrees to retain its usual vigor.
A little later full meal may be taken
with benefit. instead of injury.
