THE CONQUEROR.

saw an angel with majestic mien
And radiant brow and smile divinely sweet
Strong human passions writhed beneath his
feet.
There, too, expired those coward faults which
screen
Themselves behind Inheritance, and lean
On dead men for their strength, and think
it meet.
All, all my PROSTATE, owning their defeat
Then to the spirit with the eyes serene
cried aloud in wonder and in awe:
"Oh, mighty One, who art thou that thy
glance
Can circumvent heredity, cheat chance,
And conquer nature? What thine occult law :?
Art thou incarnate Force-the Over-Soul?"
The angel answered. Il am Self-Control."

IF ONLY THE DREAMS ABIDE.

If the things of earth must pass
Like the dews upon the grass,
Like the mists that break and run
At the forward sweep Of the sun,
/ shall be satisfied
If only the dreams abide.
Nay; I would not be shorn
OF gold from the mines of morn;
I would not be bereft
OF the last blue flower in the cleft,
OF the haze that haunts the hills,
OF the moon that the midnight fills
Still would l know the grace
On loves uplifted face,
And the slow, sweet joy-dawn there
Under the dusk of her hair.
pray thee, spare me, Fate,
The woeful, wearying weight
OF heart that feels no pain
At the sob Of the autumn rain,
And takes no breath of glee
From the organ.surge of the sea-
OF a mind where memory broods
Over songless solitudes:
I shall be satisfied
If only the dreams abide.

1t is air loaded with millions of minute ami
mails too small to be by the naked eye,
and every one of them poisonous. Look at

of dust that it contains. How many thou
sands OF millions of smaller animals there
must be in every breath drawn into the lungs,
and not one of which can be scent But they
must live and they do live upon that portion
OF the human body which they can get at
This is malaria. Is 1t any wonder that near
ly every man and woman is troubled with it ?
Kill the germs. How? Nothing so quickly
and certainly does it as pure whiskey. Moth
Ing so certainly Injuries as impure whiskey,
and no whiskey ever known that is so
absolutely pure in every respect as Duffy
