"Afterwards',


After the day has sung its song Of
sorrow,
And one by one the golden stars
appear,
linger yet, where once we met,
beloved,
And seem TO feel thy spirit still is
near.
The fow'rs have fled that bIossom'd in
the spring time,
The birds are mute that sang their
songs above;
And though the years have drifted us
asunder,
Time cannot break the golden chain
of love;
Still We can love, although the shadows
gather,
Still we can hope until the clouds be
past.
Come to my heart and whisper through
the silence:
"Hope on, dear heart, our lives shall
meet at last"
Sometimes my heart grows weary of
its sadness,
Sometimes my life grows weary Of
its pain,
Then, love, | wait and listen to your
whisper,
Till fears depart and sunshine comes
again.
1t cannot be that we should part for
ever,
That loves sweet song is hush'd for
US Away;
hear it yet, although it's theme be
alter'd,
Twill reach thy heart and bring thee
back some day.
Love, we car love, although the shad-
ows gather,
Still we can hope until the clouds be
past;
Come to my heart and whisper through
the silence:
Hope on, dear heart, our lives shall
meet at last"

BagpipeS. Mentioned in jeremiah
Xviii, 80, Mine heart shall sound for
Moab like pipes, like pipes for the men
of Kir-heres." and elsewhere in Scrip
ture were used also by the early Egyp-
tians. Both Greeks and Romans knew
the instrument, for a coin Of Nero
shows upon one side the tibia utricu-
laris, a bag with two reeds and nine
pipes. Procopius also, who wrote
about $50 A. D., asserts that Roman
soldiers sometimes marched to the
sound of the bagpipes, and it is not i'm
possible that they introduced them into
the British islands The earliest, more
modern reference To them is in an
Irish MS. of 1850, and an Irish illumi-
mated MS. Of 1890 depicts a pig play
ing on the bagpipes. The Scottish
highlanders were the first and only
people to use the great war pipe, as
the highland regiments still do.

Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe 1t was injuring
me although l had palpitation of the.
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-,
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is Just as harmful as coffee.)
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack OF heart trouble,
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when / tried a small
quantity OF coffee. which caused severe,
irritation and proved to me Iisst let

when we began using Postum Il
seemed weak-that was because We.
did not make 1t according to directions
but now we put little bit of but
