Nature; is renewing her youth, her
admirers feel dull, sluggish and tired.
This condition is owing mainly to
the impure condition ot the blood
and its failure to supply healthy
tissue to the various organs of the

derived from a good medicine at this

POETRY
INCONSTANT.
Inconstant! O my God!
Inconstant! When a single thought
of thee
Sends all mv shivering blood
Back on my heart in thrills of ecstacy.
Inconstant! When to feel
That thou hast loved me, wilt love to
the last,
Were Joy enough to steal
All fear from life the future and the
past, , -
Inconstant! When to sleep
And to dream that thou art near me
is to learn
So much of heaven, I weep
Because the earth and morning must
return. -
Inconstant! Ah, too true!
Turned from the rightful shelter of
tlty, breast ; i
My tired heart nutters through
The changeful world a bird without
a nest.
Inconstant to the crowd
Through which I pass,
as to to the
skies above
The fickle summer cloud,
But not to thee ; oh, not to thee, dear
love.
I may be false to all,
On earth besides, and every tender
tie
Which seems to hold in thrall
This weary life of mine may be a lie.
But true as God's own truth
My steadfast heart turns backward
evermore
To that sweet time of y,outh
Whose golden tide beats such a bar
ren shore.
Inconstant ! Not my own
The hand which builds this wall be
tween our lives ;
On its cold shadow, grown
To perfect shape, the flower of love
survives.
God knows that I would give
All other joys, the sweetest and the
best.
For one short hour to live
Close to thv heart, its comfort and
its rest.'
But life is not all dark.
The sunlight goldens many a hidden
; : slope.
The dove shall find its ark
, Of ; peaceful refuge and ot patient
hope.
And should another's head , ; -
Sleep on thy heart, and it should
ever seem
To be mine own instead,
Oh, darling ! hold it closer for the
dream.
God will forgive the sin,
If sin it is; our lives are swept so dry.
So cold, so passio.n clean
Thank him death comes at last and
so goodby !

BILL ARFS LETTER.'
It is good for a town man or a city
man to take a day off occasionally
and spend it in the country. It will
give him a fresh start, a new lease
upon life when he gets back to work.
Sometimes it pays doctors bills;
sometimes it awakens sentiments and
emotions long since smothered or
forgotten and makes him feel like
singing' "Oh, would I were a boy
again. .

puny, overworked patient I would

around and pick flowers and listen
to the birds, and if you get a few
ticks on you all the. better. Scratch
ing is a healthy business. It is the
poor man's medicine. I was rumi
nating about this because 1 tried it
day before yesterday. Some of my
folks of the masculine gender invited
me to take a stroll with them. They
said it would help me, and my wife
advised me to go. I think she was
tired seeing me mope around looking
like I was half dead arid didn't have
a xnena in ine wona, ana so 1 joined

that wood they said, and so they
sprung the bottom ' wire as high as
they could and kindly invited me to
tumble myself that I might be exalt
ed on the other side. Right there
my trouble began.
I got down like an elephant and
rolled under the wire barely escaping
the stickers, and then we perambula
ted through half a mile of under
growth that kept me slipping on the j
pinestraw and dodging the bushes,

with their younger and longer legs
but made no sign. One of them let
a stickery limb flop Pack in my eye
and set it to bleeding, but still I made
no sign," for I have some of my youth
ful game in me. Bye - and bye we
came to the barbed wire fence on the
other side of the wood lot, and I had
to lie down and roll over again like
hundred dollar horse, and that
brought us into a fresh plowed field,
where the corn had just been plant
ed, and by the time I followed them
through that I was covered all over
with a sweat of perspiratioM and was
so tired I was afraid to stop for fear
I would not be able to start again.
After a while we came to a branch
that flowed down about six feet wide,
and four feet deep. My unfeeling
companions took a little running
start and cleared the ditch easily and
just tramped on without looking back
to see what had become ot me, but
still I was game. I made for that
ditch with malice aforethought and
caught on the bank and pulled my
wet legs after me with alacrity and
waddled on. 1 saw one ot my chap
erons look back on the sly and then
I began to suspect that they had laid
a plan to put me through for the ben
efit of my constitution. In course of
time I had to roll under two more
wire fences and cross Dr. Fulton's
branch, which is just three miles
from town by the big road, but a
greatMeal further the way they took
me. But still I was game and made
no sign. I even made bold to talk
admiringly of the scenery, and I
stopped occasionally to pluck the
wild flowers that adorned the glades
and hillsides. I carry around now
with me about 175 pounds ofcorpor-
osity, and my center 01 gravity is
some higher up than it used to be
when Mrs. Arp was sweet sixteen,
and I could mount a horse bareback
at a single bound. Oh, I've seen the
day-yes, I have seen the day that-
Well, its no use bragging for 1 will
never see it again. Dr. Caulder said
in his beautiful sermon last Sunday
that youth had no memories but
revelled, in a thousand hopes. And
aee had a thousand ' memories and
but a single hope. -That is so, and I
am living in memories now.
These young bucks kept tolling
me along like I was a cow following
a loader wagon, ana dv ana Dy 1
ill
heard one of them give a wild Injun
whoop and he started off in a run

good cane and paused for an attack
J cy ' -
from the reptile but it was nothing
but the rim of an old straw hat that
curled in the path. I am not fond
of snakes, and that alarm kept me on
the lookout, for it is about the time
for them to be slipping around. By
and by we took roundance and start
ed homeward down the creek, and
got to another wire fence. I felt like
sitting down and staying all night,
but the boys looked at me and smil
ed and so I rolled undera'gain and I
was so stiff and tired I could hardly
get down or up.
Still I played game ana kept mv
wild flowers and sweet shrubs for the
little girl at home, j and it .kept' my
spirits up thinking how happy she
would be. We got to a spring that
looked inviting and the boys laid
down and drank in the good old
way. I was nearly dead; for water,
but I said no I did not want any, for
I feared I could never get up if I got
down any more.
When we reached the last ience
the ground was a little descending'
and as I rolled under the wire my
corporosity kept on, and liked to
hive rolled into a half-buned dead
horse that the train had run over
and tumbled down the bank. It
shocked me like a ghost and stimu
lated my alacrity.
Somehow or other I got home
safely after a seven mile tramp and
and that night I rolled into bed and
wasen't fit for anything next day, for
I was as sore as a foundered mule:
My opinion is that the whole thing was
a conspiracy and that my wife was
"particeps criminis" with one of her
offsprings and his long-legged brother
in-law.
My further opinion is that there
are more barbed wire fences in that
region than in all the rest of that
country and what bam tones and
Bob Patillo put them there for no
body knows, for there isn't an acre of
the land that is worth a continental
dime. It is too poor to keep its liz

, .Nevertheless the tramp did me
good and loosened up my diaphram
It was an overdose of medicine and
my chaperons won't catch me that
way again. I don't believe much in
chaperons, nohow. Sam Jones said
in a tabernacle sermon that they
were no good. "You will see," said
he, "a couple of these married wo
men start out on an excursion up the
river bank with 'fifteen or twenty

1 Om Way of Marking Ctttthea.
A young woman who has a weakness
for novelties' has indented a new way of
marking her belongings, shdelible ink
she scorned as belonging to the tlistant
past, and embroidored monograms and
initials she voted commonplace. Even
the pretty device of embroidering her
possessions with her favorite flower final
ly lest its charm, and her latest ffincy is
to have her 'own face produced.
She had some tiny and not unflatter
ing photographs taken, and they are now
being transferred to the cornersof her
handkerchiefs, the bands of her skirts,
the capes of her collars and all the other
places where the sign of possession is
usually fixed. Buffalo News. !
