The Town Of Used-tO.Be,

Grandma lives in funny place,
The town of " Used tobe,"
Where streets are "turnpikes," and people ar
folks"
And nice hot supper " tea"
"where is this town of Used-to-be' %"
In Grandma's memory bright.
The way?" Upstairs to Grandmas room,
(The coy one on the rght)
when can you go there2" Twilight's best,
For the dreamy glow in the CRATE
Lights the way to the town of Z" Usedto-be,"
And nobody need to wait.
Then no, for an hour in the dear old town,
And hey, for the husking bee,
And oh, for the dancing in stiff brocade,
And ali the trystingtree.
And ughl the sermons two hours long
And three of them Sabbath day,
In a " meeting house." SO cold and drear,
Where the "footstove held its sway.
But If Grandma shows you a summer scene.
In a farmhouse and orchard fair
With rows of cheeses on dairy shelves,
And bees In the cloversweet air,
And there, beyond in the kitchen wide,
Grandma, herself, at the Wheel
Spinning, singing, fair young bride,
You say, for you can but feel
what dear, dear town of Used-to-be'
But Grandma's voice drops low,
And she says with a half sad, half sweet smile,
: Twas all SO long ago."

As Ye Would.

If should see
A brother langushing in sore distress
And should turn and leave him comfortless,
When might be
A messenger of hope and happiness
How could ask to have what denied
In my own hour Of bitterness supplied
II might share
A brothers load along the dusty way
And should turn and walk alone that day,
How could dare
When in the evening watch knelt to pray
To ask for help to bear my pain and loss
If had needed not my brothers crossi
If might sing
A little song to cheer a fainting heart
And should seal my lips and sit apart,
When might bring
bit of sunshine for lifes ache and smart
How could I hope to have my grief relieved
If kept silent when my brother grieved7
And so know
That day is lost wherein fail to lend
A helping hand to some wayfaring friend;
But If it show
A burden lightened by the cheer l send
Then do hold the golden hours well spent
And lay me down to sleep in sweet content.

of the bitter being bitten, and the fol-

class of students, holding grudge
against one of the professors, tied live
goose to his chair. Upon entering the
room the professor saw the goose, and
calmly walking up TO the desk, adj
dressedlthe class as follows: "Gentle-
men, as you have succeeded in getting
an instructor so much better qualified
to direct the bent of your ideas, 1 beg
you will pardon me for resigning the
chair. "-Harper's Round Table.

POETRY.
Something Still.

ny E.o.B.
There never was day so dark and drear,
But found some ray of light,
And somewhere stars have always shone
Throughout the darkest night.
And evermore my heart has found
That he who reigns above
Mid grief and loss has given to me
A something still to love.
And evermore some work to do,
Some loving, tender care;
For feeble age or childhood weak
Some burden l might bear
blessed work, o blessed care,
That come to empty handsi
From loves own source they always flow
To meet our hearts demands
For while we give to other lives
Some service OF our own,
We cannot ever quite despair
Nor feel ourselves alone.

healthy, vigorous constitution.
A mother who wants to bequeath her baby
a good store of strength and hardihood
ought to keep herself in the best physical
condition during the time her little one is
expected. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip.
ton has been wonderful blessing to moth
ers and their children. 1t gives strength to
the special organism concerned in matern-
ity; it purihes the system and imparts
healthful vitality to the nerve-centres. IT
makes the coming of baby safe and COM
paratively painless.
It is the only medicine in the world de-
signed by regularly graduated physician
and skilled specialist to cure all weaknesses
and diseases of the feminine organism.
WI Malcolm, Esq, of Knobel Clay Co., Ark,
writes MY wife for perhaps four months pre-
vious to the birth Of our child took the Favorite
Prescription This strengthened her entire sys-
tenn and childbirth, to her, was very easy, be-
ing attended with little pain. Our baby Ruth Ia
"a months old and she had never been sick day,
not so much as had the collie; she is hearty and
stout, and pretty as picture-pretty becf she
Is healthy and we very much blame Dr. .rce's
family medicines for It.
We keep DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
ery. the Ravorite Prescription and the Pleas
ant Pellets in our home and use them. We have
been married most three years and have called
a physician into my family but one time-at
birth Of our baby"
If all the maladies due to constipation
were taken out of medical books, there
would be little left but the covers. Con.
stipation is positively, permanently cured
by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Never
grippe. Druggists sell them. Nothing Is
"just as good"
