AWAKENING.

She is woman now.
The smiles which played upon her bright
And sunny face when first met her
Are gone, and in their place a settled
Melancholy reigns. Her eyes,
A far off look; as if she longed
The coming of some one from
A far off shore.
Her voice which once did ring
With merry laughter, or joyous songs
Full of hope and love, is now
Subdued and speaking in measured tones
Whilst her eyes betoken thoughts of the
Inanimate. Sorrows she has felt,
And endured with strength and fortitude
And yet the traces of their heavy feet
Are marked upon her brow.
The world which now surrounds her,
Is not the world she dreamed of in
Her sunny days. The men and women
Whom she sees, are not the ones her fancy
Painted in her girlhood days. Even
The flowers she sees, are not the flowers
Her mother planted in the garden where,
In childhood days. she sang and played.
The voices of Birds the hum of bees,
Beatng focks, and lowing herds
Which charmed her listening ears,
Now fall upon her saddened heart
AS sounds of melancholy music.
Why is it thus? The flowers that bloom
To-day are just as bright and beautiful
AS when our Mother Eve first
Oped her eyes on Edens lovely scenes
The songs of birds, the murmuring brook,
The gentle breeze and all the voices
Which Nature sends, are as full of
Music to the peaceful heart as at
Creation 8 dawn The stars which once
She deemed could hear her song,
Now to her weary eyes so far away,
Are in the self same places where
First they sang their morning hymns.
She has found fraud, deceit, hypocrisy,
Where once she dreamed that truth and honor
Dwelled. Her dreams of love have flown,
And in their stead she sees but hatred,
Malice, and all the evil things which
Flesh is heir to- She has ceased to look
Upon the world with hope, and now
Impatient, she trustingly awaits. within.
Her inmost soul, as only woman can,
The coming of another day, a world
OF rest and peace, where she shall
Meet again the loved ones, who have
Passed away, and where the stars
Which keep their vigils round the
throne, = shall be near,
And be with them forever.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive SO and Ioc
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
rough 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 does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
