Reverie of the Old Year.

But listen! The old year is speaking.
How strange a thing is the ingrati-
tude of man." he says in slow, faltering
accents. MAN is not satisfied with all
the benefits the year has bestowed
upon him, but must scott at winter
and regard him as a mortal foe.
Thus winter falls
A heavy gloom oppressive Ger the world.
Through Nature shedding influence ma
lign.
Pray, what would these creatures
have-summer the year round? Is
there no one who will say a good word
for wiuter ?"-Countryside Magazine.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and for years 1t was supposed to be
incurable, Doctors prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh
is a local disease, greatly influenced by con-
.titutional conditions and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Medicine, manufactured by F.. j. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy.
Is taken internally and acts thru the Blood

Evidently Rolf, Anne and the sub

Boston to Providence and on the little
local line they had waited again and
again along the way. There had been
no real need of any signal to let her
off when Byers' Corners came il view.
The drifts were so high that it took
the train 20 minutes to get out of
Byers' Corners, let alone getting in.
