THE PRIME OF LIFE.

Oh, bless the glad suns warmth and light!
Away, my love, we'll wander.
To where the larch shines green and bright
Against the dim wood yonder.
The young shoots sprout 80 fast to-day.
The old oak leaves are falling.
And from the coppice far away
hear the cuckoo calling. =
Hark. there among the high elm trees
The thrush sings where he settles;
And see, below, anemones
Put forth their blushing petals.
Does not the poet tell how spring
Affects a young mans fancy?
And so my heart turns, while sing,
To love and you. my Nancy.
Each step new charms does nature add.
New beauties still discovers.
To make this old world young and glad
For US. young. happy lovers.
Ours Is the joy the lark feels there
Tuning his song to madness.

And feel the young years gladness."
Then let our years be sad or gay.
And be they few or plenty,
Yet, sweetheart. we'll forget to-day
We have been wed for twenty!

A Stickler for Realism.

Some amateurs in provincial town
gave a theatrical performance. Just
before the curtain went up the star
actor took the manager aside and said
to him:
Nov, look here; don't propose to
drink water instead of wine in the
drinking scene In the second act. I
want genuine wine. The unities
must be preserved. We want to make
this play as realistic as possible"
"Oh, you want champagne at IS shil-
ings bottle, do your"
"Yes. Everything must be realistic"
"Al right" replied the manager. I'm
the second act you shall have real wine,
and when you take poison in the last
act you shall have some real poison.
I'll see that you don't complain of the
play not being realistic enough. How

tom, and at first I thought it was
locked. Upon closer examination, dis
covered that it had only become tightly
damned by slight settling of the sur
rounding timbers. A few vigorous kicks
soon caused it to open, and we stepped
down into the room.
The shutters to the windows were
closed, but there was above the door
leading to the street a small transom.
Through the dust and moisture-be-
grimed glass few rays of light pene-
trated, producing twilight gloom in
the apartment, but not so deep that we
were unable to see.
One of the old counters still remained,
and scattered over the floor were
few empty boxes and barrels. I thought
of the white-haired old man whose form
had been so familiarly associated with
the room, and I glanced over to the
corner with .ncy that he was here
still, seated behind the desk.

and now dere amt any,"
Sarah was right. There had been a
doorway, through which I had stolen
many times for the purpose of filling
my pockets with raisins and dried fruit.
There was none now. The wall of solid
masonry confronted us.
It really seemed matter of very
little Importance, but Sarah kept up
excited ordinations about it, until I
finally stopped her.

My grandfather, in his latter days,
had kept the village store and post

The house was built on the side of a
small hill, so that it was three stories
high on the street side and two in the

When Phlebotomy Was In Favor.

In former days, when medical men
believed in phlebotomy for nearly all
hurts and diseases, King Louis Philippe
of France carried a lancet in his pocket,
and occasionally bled himself. On one
occasion, when a man was run over by
the royal coach, the king bled the un-
conscious victim with his own hands.
Such treatment now would probably
lead to a suit for damages.-Chicago

AN OPEN LETTER
To Sunday School and Other Workers
in the Lords Vineyard.

The statistical fact that only one per.
son in 10000 ever becomes skeptical or
criminal afteribeing properly trained up
to the fourteenth year, should induce
every lover of mankind to make special
efforts to render our Sunday Schools at.
tractive to.the young. Beinga man Of
leisure at present, l have taken upon
myself the task of getting up a strictly
first class and unique entertainment
which will contribute to the popularity
of our Sunday Schools and at the sam Q
time fill their treasures. Ioffer this en- i.
tertainment, amusing and instructive,
to Sunday Schools and churches every.
where, and suggest that it is not every
day that they have an opportunity to do
good and make money at the same time,
to "eat their cake and keep it too," so to
speak. ] assume this work for the good
hope to do and in the expectation of
earning money enough to pay of our
church debt. Churches and Sunday
Schools desiring to "treat" their MEM
bers and to get "liberal contribution"
at the same time, are requested to write
for particulars. Respectfully and frater.

came he was always among the first to
be on the play. ground and was also al.
ways among the first in school when
called. In the home he was kind and
gentle, symp athletic and charitable in his
dealing with others, although for ten
years his frail body seemed only Q cas-.

his parents Sunday morning that he was
not afraid to die but wished to remain
with them. But on Sunday evening
near six o'clock the pearly gates swung
open and the angels bore him away to
his heavenly home. His body reposes
in that low, green tent, whose curtains
never outward swing. His life on earth
was brief, yet beautiful and fragrant,
leaving loving remembrance in the
desolate home that will ever linger to
cheer the hearts Of the beresved ones.
To him there was no dark river over
