The Valley Of the Years.

We tread a narrow valley where joy
roses all abloOm
Are mingled with the nightshade of
black misery and gloom;
Some wander onward gayly; others move
with bitter tears.
Each marking his own pathway through
the Valley of the Years.
Sometimes the sky is clouded and we
grope along the way
With anxious lamentation and a longing
for the day;
But always we are moving DER the path
\ that leads alone
On to the mystic mountains of Eternity
Unknown.
Some turn aside and wander for a few
brief, idle hours,
And hope to find forgetfulness among the
lotus flowers
But always comes the waking-and yet
palmer still appears
The pathway to the Mountain through
the Valley of the Years.
Oh asnaansrch Of nation and the sacre-
Upon more lowly travellers theif sneering
glances fling,
Then draw their cloaks around them and
pass on to tread alone
The misty, mystic mountains of Eternity
Unknown.
Behind them, shrieking, singing loud a
Bacchanalian song,
A band of ribald jewellers goes stumbling
ly along;
An evil thing polluting every tender thing
it hears.
Goes onward to damnation through the
Valley of the Years.

Bertrand Edward had misconducted
himself grayely, SO gravely his father
felt it to be his duty as parent to
administer corporal punishment He
administered it accordingly and Ber-
trand Edward smarted-not only ply
sically, but mentally-for he was not
used to that form of correction.
First of all, Bertrand Edward went
up to the nursery and howled vocifer-
ously. That proceeding usually
brought his mother to soothe him
with gentle ILLUSTRATIONS sometimes
honey cookies-but this time his
mother seemed deaf to his cries.
Downstairs his father was impressing
her with the necessity of ignoring the
walls of her offspring and thus max
ing him sensible of his iniquity. This
the fearful. mother eventually prom
ised faithfully to do.
Upstairs Bertrand Edwards yells
gradually became less frequent and
the intervening silence more profound.
At such times he tiptoed to the stair
case and listened. He heard his moth
er's voice. but she was seemingly
talking to the cook about domestic
concerns. He heard her say: "And
we will have the tartar sauce with the
whitefish for lunch, Mary"
1t was evident that she was thor.

The Destiny of Human Souls.

sonab1e people will accept this: The
souls of the wicked are condemned to
pass into animals and to stay there
until they have discovered prospective
tenants worse than themselves.
This theory explains everything. The
liars inhabit fish, the tricksters horses
and those given to butting in become
goats. In the attempt to end their
tenancy by finding suitable success
sors the evil spirits resort to tempta-
ton, with, alas! unfailing success. The
half-pound trout dropping off the
hoop flaps his tail in ecstatic certain
ty that the angler will proclaim him a
five-pounder at least. And the look Of
human anticipation on the face of q
goat about to knock some unsuspecting
person into barbed-wire fence can
only proceed from the knowledge that
the resultant explosion will lower an
other soul into the mire as stepping
stone for himself.
The theory is irrefutable and its
general acceptance would help the
Euxid "a AigAef plane.

Young Mans Rise and Fall.

Poverty may be handicap to some
shadow of the hoe and the skeleton
like form of the hay fork before them,
but to William Henry Stubs it is
nothing more than an inspiration, a
soul absorbing desire to reach the
higher attachments of life as well as
the lowly scudi.
He acquired early reputation as
rising young man when he offered to
go up in the balloon at the country
fair in place of Monsieur Dago Scarf
buss, who had been hitting the rural
istic hard cider all forenoon and was
not acquainted with the bird-in con-
sequence of which Monsieur had gone
into retirement for the rest of the day.
William Henry rose with an adagio
movement that was the very poetry
of action.
After that Williams life was a
dream, and he forgot to notice his
former comrades. He became both a
success in the lofty art of raising as
well as falling. He scared up in a
balloon and came down in large
parachute; he made bags of mon, and
was the envy of all who came in con-
tact with him. Few young men of
10 ever reached such high attitudes
of fame or sunk to such depths of
glory.

Are the bodies of animals inhabited
by the souls Of human villains dead
and gone? Don't sheer too hastily at
the question, for if it should be an
swered finally in the negative science
is at a loss to account for the utter
depravity of the animals. 1t is ap-
parent to the .dullest observer that
dumb beasts exercise malign in
tuence over man. Think of the temp
ers ruined by cows that have kicked
over half-filled pals of milk. Think
Of the regulations for truth that have
been destroyed by trout. Think of
the honesty that has been turned into
deceit by the horse, SO that they who
trade in that animal are by-words
among their less sorely tempted breth-
rem. Think of the indefinite prolonga-
ton of this list that. might be made
and then consider il animals are or
are not animated by the souls of hui
man wretches that have passed away.
Some such theory must be accepted

He got the huzzahs at both ends OF
the flight, and reaped the plunks
thereby. He received the merry shout
when he went up and he was smother
ed by the loud acclaim when he came
down. The vociferous plaudits were
mingled with the soothing rustic OF
the long green and the dazzling clink
of the yellow boys at either end OF
the route, and he always got his gate
receipts, whether the thing PANIED
out good for the managers Of the fair

He might have dragged along
through life hoeing corn, tossing
clover to the knee or chopping the

was not destined to wear wings and

not until his time comes.

abandoned State canal is directed to
The resolutions adopted by the ma
tional and international good roads
convention, which has just closed its
session in st. Louis.
Two important facts were brought
out and emphasized in these resolu-
lAons-that the necessities Of commerce
and of our growing agricultural inter-
ests call for State and national appro-
priations for the Improvement Of high
ways, and that there must be complete
and harmonious cooperation of the
township, county, State and national
governments, which can only be Sc
cured through an organization from
the nation down to the township.

forward plans for highway improve
ment and for the building of new con-
Meeting links in rural thoroughfares

expended under a law that provided
