OF OTHER DAYS.

Down on the moor here, me and you,
Doing some stunts like l used to do
with other babies in days gone by;
Dlmpled of cheek were they, laughing OF
eyel
And. ah! but the lips Of them they were
redl
And the yellow curls on each tousled head
Were wonderful, shimmering, dancing
curls
oh, the old time boys and the old time
girlsl
And the funny things that we used TO do!
Let us get down bere! me and you.
Let us get down here, me ana you;
over your shoulders peek eyes of blue,
out of the misty years troop back
The children of old, and a-pick-a-pack
We romp upstairs, and we go pell nell
Downstairs at the sound of the supper bell!
Hang on. don't holler, l won't hurt you:
oh, this is the way that we used to do!
You are filling the place in the heart of me
The place of the children that used to be.

The wonderful power of Lydia E.

my Oldest daughter found it very beneh-

A New Furmaee. .

The work of getting the new furnace at woodward In readiness for iron making is being pushed as rapidly as possible, and 1t Is now stated that it will be ready to blow In within thirty days. Furnace No. at Woodward haa now been in blast continuously for over three years. and No. 2 for over two years. and both of them are now need~ ing to be refined. It is stated that No. will require refining first, and lit is hoped to get the monster new furnace ready before No. has to be blown out, so as to keep all forces going. The work of relining will re- ouire about two months, by working night and day shifts.
 The new furnace is the largest in the entire South, having q nominal ca- pacity of 250 tons of iron per day. This will doubtless be exceeded. howe ever. as the two old ones with norat~ nal rating of 15o tons per day hava been averaging over 200 tons each for some months past, and it is thought the new one will easily go over sod tons per day. This will give total output, with all three running of about TOO tons per day, which will place this company among the largest iron pro- ducers in the South.
