A Broken String.

(By James Thomas Broughton.)
"a song of 1.-The passing mcn,' whose
day, though sadly, is inevitably spent)
When the string snapped who shall say?
Was it on some raving day
When the wind raced with the cold
When unclasped, the fingers chung
When the public song was sung?
Was it on some hallowed night
When the summer moon was white?
When the widest longings trod
Abashed before the eyes of God?
When sanest SELF apart
Held the misled heart from heart?
Why the string snapped none shall know,
Men, like hearts fail easiest So
Curious fingers, fain TO mend,
Let the music have its end!
No new string on the old Tyre
Finds tif LOST the hearts desire.
Great they were, like the "instrument"

Their efforts, ideals were great too
But these have had, each their-day

Nay! Be gentlel once they rang
And this critical old world listened, while

GOOD ADVICE.

The most miserable things in the
world are those suffering from Dys-
pepsia and Liver Complaint. More than
seventy-five per cent. Of the people In
the United States are afflicted with these
two diseases and their effects: such as
Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitual
Costiyeness, Palpitation of the Heart,
heartburn, Waterbrash, Craving and
Burning Pains at the Pit of the Stomach.
Yellow Skin, Coated Tongue and Disa-
greeable Taste in the Mouth, Coming up
of Food after Eating, Low Spirits, etc.
Go to your Druggist and get a bottle OF
August Flower for rs or rs cents. Two
doses win relieve you. Try it.

ed byl The humiliation of it!
There must have been times, too, when
she longed for genuine friendship from
good women. times when the admiration
OF such men as Spencer and Mill failed to
satisfy the deeper needs of her nature.
Very woman she was. and one must lor-
give in her what seemed weakness
the imperious demand for love which
caused her to marry, so late in life man
years younger than herself
After 81 it may be that the matter Of
dress became for her a kind OF protest
against being loved purely for the sake
Of that great brain. Perhaps it was but
an inner cry which, worded, would have
been this. let me stand a woman among
women. Give me the grace and charm OF
womanlineas Let me be loved Just rs the
others are. and not in the unnatural fash
ion which half loves, half wonders at one
OF my sex who has mastered eight Ian
guages."
To bark back to the first paragraph and
be serious. how much simpler and saner
life would be il we could but make UP our
minds to give less time and thought to
the changes OF fashion whether it be in
the matter of dress or in our social life.
The friend who comes to us as our guest
should bring ease and refreshment. so
much of light and heart-warmth should
follow her. but we wear our nerves to a
ouivering point in the effort to keep UP
with our neighbor in style of entertain
ing.
Says Emerson Hospitality must be
for service and not for show. or it pulls

too high to value itself by the splendor

it hath, and all it hath. but its own ma
jesty can lend a better grace to hannocks
