GoIderIod and Memories.

From Ear off blue Wisconsin hills,
There came a gift of flowers to me.
With prisoned sunlight in their depths.
And fragrance sweet of field and tree
They spoke of days long passed away.
OF haZy-golden autumn ewes,
OF moonlight filtered softly down
Through canopies of yellow leaves.
And like fair ghosts, for years laid low.
Come back to haunt familiar ways,
There rose to mind the fairy dreams
Woven in long-go childish days;
Dreams great with noble deeds and true:
Of hard-won fame, and wealth and
power;
And who shall say the ripe years
But mock that golden fairy dover?
For speaks living voice, as from
The perfumed flowers my friend has
sent;
The visions of the child are true,
For what is wealth but sweet Content7
Lo! Better than the fairies pelf,
The hard-earncd wage of honest men:
The noblest deeds are every days,
Done bravely. once and yet again.
Power? It is ours. above a kings,
And godlier than exalts a throne,
II we but make single life
The brighter, that 'tis next our own.
The soul that rules its living Self
Is mghtier than a scepter's sway,

Heartburn.

When the quantity of food taken
is too large or the quality too rich,
heartburn is likely to follow, and
especially so if the digestion has
been weakened by constipation.
Eat slowly and not too freely of
easily digested food. Masticate the
food thoroughly. Let six hours
elapse between meals and when you
feel fullness and weight in the
region of the stomach after eating,
indicating that you have eaten too
much, take one of Chamberlain S
