Mr. Joseph Smith, dear friend
Tonight we've gathered here,
And bring to you with one accord
Kind greeting and good cheer.
We come to you with best intent
And heartiest good will,
And as we have so long been friends,
Pledge you our friendship still.
We wish long and happy eve
To succeed your we'll spent day,
And blessings OF the very best
To cheer you on your way.
For nearly haf hundred years
Has our good Uncle Joe
Lived here beneath this roof and seen
The seasons come and go.
There's not an inch of this old house
But has its tale to tell,
And every foot Of this old farm
Is known to you full we'll
You've travelled Ger these hills and wales,
And all the country near,
Through summers sun and winters snow
For an even fourscore year.
Your voice in joke, good cheer and prayer,
From vestibule and pew,
Has sounded in the house of God
Since our old church was new.
Good Uncle joe these many years
You've lived among US here;
You have place in every heart
OF all these neighbors dear
A friend In need to Everyone
We've ever found you true;
As friend wins friend, 30 everyone
Is found friend to you.
Seven daughters you gave to the world;
Each welded brings q son;
Children and grandchildren, too,
God bless you everyone!
God bless you all who in this house
Its Joys and comforts share,
Who help to make life happier
And each others burdens bear.
Dear Uncle Joe. you've climbed the hill
We've only once to climb;
Now desce nding gently down
The m,nenoe OF Time,
May rosy hues and brightest rays
Shine on you as you go,
And shadows be but faint and few
On CHEEKY Uncle Joe.
May not q sorrow cross your path,
Nor cloud, nor wave o'erfiow.
Long live you, jolly Uncle Smith
Long live dear Uncle Joel
And when the sunset comes at last,
AS come it must to all,
And Jesus bids us come to him
And we obey the call,
May you, your children, friends, we all
without missing one,
At the social gathering at last
Have said to us, "W ell done"

Our DAILY Acts.

The REPORTER is requested to publlsh
the following original poem written by
one of the bright young ladies of Greene
grange, Miss Annie Sawyer, and read
before East Auburn grange on the occa-
sion of the visit by the patrons OF AT
iroscogglu. lis sentiments may well be
cherished by our readers:
The twilight falls. Another day is done.
The crimson gloI y fades from out the west;
The blossoms fold their petals for the night
And soon all Nature will be hushed to rest.
And now look down the ever constant stars
To cheer the world and dissipste the dark.
Always unchangeful, countless, age on age,
Each separate star has lit its tiny spark
This is the hour recording angels write
For every soul, the story of the days
And II our track be straight tits written so
Or IL we careless stray, through winding
ways.
| wonder what my page today win be
Have done sught to merit praise, or blame9
wonder IL the record will be fair
Or tell tale marks shall stand against my
name.
Have been patient? Have tried to be3
Whether, or not, the record has been made,
And when the books are opened, shall see.
II I've helped those around me to be glad
II In some way I've eased another's pain,
Then have done kindly deed, tho small.
AT least, have not lived the day In vain.
II have smoothed the way for aged feet
Or helped some little child to happy be,
II only deeds like these, thererl be some good
Upon the pages that are writ for me.
1t is the little things, well done each day
Our faithful duty to the ones we love-
Not striving to accomplish something great,
That wins approval at the throne above.
We are too thoughtless OF each others good,
We oft forget the common ties that bind.
We have too little OF that charity
Which suffers long, and which Is always
kind.
And so how rarely dove do our BEST
A little wrong will the right entwine
And blot our records but this much we know
ITO err is human, to forgive, divine"

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. '' Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and Ioo
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS EmulsioniSthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
sough for sensitive Stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion uoes more
ahan that. There is some
ahing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

story or Premon1tlon With an Un-
 usual Ending.
 My brother went into the death trap at the Colenso river with the Irish brigade under Fitzroy Hart. He was a captain in the Royal Dublin fusiliers = he is so no longer.
 One bright moonlit night in De eember, 1899, my wife, her moth CT and myself were sitting in the drawing-room talking of the South African war, when sudden. and unexpectedly gunshot in the immediate vicinity was heard, and simultaneously something fell in the room.
 Before we were aware of what had actually fallen my mother-in- law, who is highland, instinctiye- ly exclaimed: "Charley's photo!" On rising to look, sure enough I found that my brothers photo had fallen out of it's frame, and was lying face downward on the floor. On the next day we heard of the appalling disaster at Co lens0.
 These absolutely true facts should surely convert the most skeptical of premonitory warn, ings, yet the explanation might possibly shake their new found faith.
 My next-door neighbor was hay. ing pot shot at a rabbit in his garden, the photo frame was old and of the cheap foreign dump order, and my rheumatic but un- scared brother is now in the army pay department.-London Spectator.
