PAUL KRUGER.

Deep mournful eyes that seek the ground
The devious path to trace;
The giant form of Lincoln, crowned
BY Cromwell's grosser face;
Coarse rustic garb. of uncouth cut,
That masks each mighty. limb;
FITS shapeless folds the ready butt
OF Europe's testers trim.
So much the crowd can see; the rest
Asks critics elearer-eyed;
SO rough a scabhard leaves unguessed
How keen the blade inside;
The trenchant will, the subtle brain,
With Destiny's still climbing main
The hopeless war OF Age.
His kindred are rugged brood
That nurse dying fre'
The sons of Calvin's bitter mood,
And sterner than their sire.
BY faith through trackless deserts
steered
Lost miles of lonely sand,
Far from the intruding world they reared
They found their promised land.
BY such grim guardians tutored well
His Spartan childhood grew.
The wind-trail of the fleet gazelle
The lions path he knew.
The camp surprised at dawn. the rush
OF feet, the cracking smoke,
When on the sleeping laager's hush
The sudden Kaffir broke.
Nay once, tbs said, when Vaal in flood
Had barred the hunters way,
And mid its swollen current stood
A wounded buck al bay;
While some before the brute drew back,
And some before the wave
Striding the torrents foaming track,
The mercy stroke he gave.
A stream more rapid and more wide
His strength has stemmed since then
Called from the plodding team to guide
The starkef wills of men;
Chance-prenticed to so new a trade
Unlettered and unschooled,
The clod-bred, clownish peasant made
No less a realm, and ruled
Yet, though that realm he still sustains
Against an empires might,
And with untiring skill maintains
The so unequal fight;
He buys his victories all too dear.
Whose foes have Time for friend;
Each fatal triumph brings more near
The inevitable end.
HAPPY the hoarse-volced guns must close
The long debate at last,
Ere the young Future can compose
Its quarrel with the Past:
Nathelese our England unashamed
May greet a foeman true
or her own stubborn metal framed,
Fer sho Is iron too.

THE BABY
A Burden or a Blessing.

When the baby comes into the house il
comes as a burden or a blessing. If il Is
weak and sicl5ly it becomes a burden for
the mother by DAY and night. If it is a
strong baby, bright and healthy, it be-
comes a mutual JOY to its parents and
binds them closer together in affection.
There is no question as to the desira-
bility of a healthy baby, whose winning
ways and merry prattle bring a new ele-
ment of joy into the home life. Every
woman desires to have healthy, happy
children. The reason that so many
women fail 10 realize this desire is be-
cause they do not understand the init
mate relation between their own health
and that of the child which is born to
them. To paraphrase a line of a familiar
poem, it might be said to mothers:
Laugh and the child laughs with you"
The childish meanings and cryings are
only echoes of the mothers feelings dur
ing that anxious time of waiting when,
weak and suffering, she shrinks from the
coming hour of her trial Motherhood
rarely finds a woman ready for the great
change which the function entails. At
this time she should be at her best. Every

THE CARAMEL CURE.

There is a young man in town who is
candy fiend, and has a habit of carrying
caramels and other dainties about In MS
pockets upon all occasions.
OF course the girls of his acquaintance
Caught on" to this amiable weakness
some time ago, and have profited by it to
such an extent that he soon found his
caramel bills growing with unpleasant
rapidity.
Al last 1t became more than he could
stand and he set about to effect cure
1t wasn't long before an idea came, and
he went forth smiling to carry out his
plan Of action. That night he called upon
his cousins--nce girls, whom he knows
very well, and who have profited more
than any one else from his love of sweets.
They were on the porch as usual, and he
had no more than got comfortably settled,
when the youngest and prettiest sidled up
and slipped her hand deep down into his
pocket
What brand have you got tonight
Tommy" she murmured, and then "Oh,
goody, caramels, And what beauties!
Here girls" and with not so much as by
your leave" she took a handful and
tossed some to her sisters.
There were two little rapturous "Ohs!'
and then in another minute, three sput-
tering yells of surprised and angry pro-
tests, while three sets of crisp summer
skirts scraped past him In a mad rush to
the house, from which soon came sounds
and languages which first set the naughty
made him scurry off to avoid the wrath to
come.

1T WAS CORN JUICE.
Strike Prevented in MilIbury Street
Boarding House.

There came near being a strike in a
Millbury street boarding house the 9th
er night. Individually, collectively and
unanimously, the boarders protested
against being forced to drink the tea
that the landlady set before them.
IT'S vile" said one
It's worse than stewed rubber" said
another
I'D rather drink Chinese whiskey,
said a third.
Wow! WOW! wow." they yelled in
chorus when they didn't get any salts
faction from the table girl, "Trot in
the landlady and have her explain"
In came the landlady, her face
wreathed in propitious smiles, but the
shadow of anxiety on her brow
Each boarder had his say, and then
the landlady threw up her hands. 1t
was the best tea in the market, she
said, and anyone that would kick
against drinking it would find fault
with the paving on the streets of Para
disc
1t was no use. The boarders said
that if they didn't get more satisfac-
ton than that they would go out in
| search of another boarding place.
Things were looking pretty cerulean
when in came the landlady's little
| daughter
Il know how it happened, mamma, >
she said. Il had a cold ear of corr
with salt on it, and l put it in the ket-
tie to heat it, Then you made the tea
out of the corn water
Landlady and boarders saw light
coming through a rift in the clouds, and
new tea being made with pure water
peace was once more restored.
1T tasted" said one of the boarders
in telling the story to The Spy man
like the smell of new overalls."

THE SUMNER COUPLE.
They Used to Be Sentimental, Blu,
Now They Are Athletic.

On the covers of magazines and in
many advertisements you find the sum
mer girl and the summer man. No
doubt you will notice a change in their
manner. They used 70 be sentimental
They leaned over stiles and gazed rap
turously into each others eyes. They
walked along shaded, grassy lanes, hand
in hand If they went rowing, the men
let the oars trail from the rowlocks
while he held his sweetheart's hand.
Golf, the bicycle and possibly ad-
vanced notions of equality between the
sexes, have changed all that. The
woman no longer wears limp and flow
ing garments. In broad-soled shoes
short, plain skirt and austere shirt
w9ist she is cool and comfortable. Her
companions legs, not always impecc-
ably drawn, are encased in Knockers and
plaid stockings.
Decidedly the summer couple of 1886
are not lovers. They are good COM
rades who do not try to hide the fact
that they are occasionally bored with
each other. Lolling on the sand they
read, but not the same book. Shady
lanes are avoided unless there is de-
cent side-path to ride on. Far better
for wheeling is the good broad highway
On the water the man bends Justify
to his oars in keen enjoyment of the
exercise, The woman reads her sum-
mer novel as she sits in theastern. That
is better than trying to steer You will
frequently see a cigarette in the mans
hand as he turns from his companion
to look upon a landscape in which the
principles of perspective are frankly
disregarded AS yet the woman does NOT
smoke in public. The hour Of her sex's
complete emancipation is not yet ar
rived. -National Advertiser.
