And one clear call for me
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless

Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the darki

Then it must be remem bered that Tennyson
did for US of the nine teenth century what Shake
speare and Chaucer did for the England of
their own day. We make this assertion unouali-
iedly and in face of the remark attributed to
Taine that the poet was dreaming Sybarite
an Epicurean, averting his eyes from all that
was unpleasant from everything that failed TO
meet his approval. it may be said that the great
man whose daily life is placed before US as an
oDen book bv his son was far from being what
he was called by the historian: Rather would
we prefer to accept the estimate OF Froude, who
in letter to the author says that Tennyson
stands efar away by the side OF Shakespeare
above all other English poets, with this relative
superiority even to Shakespeare, that he speaks
the thoughts and speaks to the perpexities and
misgivngs OF his own age"

The Shakers have made great hit Their
Digestive Cordial is said to be the most sue
cessful remedy for stomach troubles ever
introduced. 1t Immediately relieves all pain
and distress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are
better than so called toncs. The Cordial not
only contains food already digested, but is a
dgester of other foods. Food that is not di-
gested does more harm than good. People
who use the Cordial insure the digestion Of
what food they eat and in this way get the
benefit of it and grow strong.

have sent druggists for free distribution, con-
