Where pain and parting are for.

Now we think Of thee, dear father,
AS these verses here we pen,
OF the many pleasant hours
In thy presence we have spent.
Now as we go home to mother,
And miss thee everywhere,
Then the ever present thought is,
OF the one who is not there.
o, cruel, fatal, fierce disease,
So fattering in its power.
Hope of recovery as the breeze,
Changing in the hour.
We scarce can realize that thou art
gone,
And it will be thy dear face
That we can see at night and morn
In it's old accustomed place.
But though earth's fairest blossoms
die,
And all beneath the skies is vain,
There is a brighter world on high,
Beyond the reach Of care or pain.
Then let the hope of Joys to come
Dispel our cares and chase our
fears;
If God be ours we are travelling home
Though passing through vale OF
tears. E.a
Then fare thee we'll for we must part,
Thy God hath called thee home;
With weeping eyes and heavy heart
We lay thee in thy tomb.

Deaths awful morn shall break,
Among the numerous shrouded crowd
Dear father again shall wake.

Bound to Have His claar.

King Edward has been restricted by
his physicians to five cigars a day.
He has been an inveterate smoker al
most since his boyhood. Some thirty
years ago he was dining with the late
Lord Derby, who regarded the use of
tobacco as vulgar and unpleasant
habit. After dinner the prince sug
gested a cigar, whereupon his lord.
ship drily expressed regret that his
house did not contain a smoklng.room
adding that he could only suggest the
stables as a suitable place for burn.
ing tobacco. Much to his surprise the
prince adjourned to the region in.
dictated and enjoyed his postprandal
cigar.
