If the boys are made welcome they will not be slow to tell it, and there will be in the sweet amenities of home which will draw them from ', other and less holy influences, it I is not possible in this world so full i of care and trouble to be always 'merry. It is quite possible to be '. always loving and kind. If the j business cares of the father and i the never ending struggles of the mother with dirt and disorder, cooking, washing, ironing and : mending, cannot be banished, they can be wonderfully toned down by the loving sympathy and help which each member of the house hold can and should give to the other. A home where the golden rule is lived is the nearest possible approach to heaven. The day I comes all too soon when the house hold is scattered the boys and ; girls, alas! girls no longer are i gone to make homes for them- ' selves, elsewhere; when some, i perhaps, are laid away from our ' sight, out of reach of kind words or helpful deeds. Happy are we if no sorrowful thoughts haunt us, of hasty words and unkind deeds, if only pleasant memories remain. W'c may, if our means allow, make our home beautiful and attractive, and it is well to do so. But with out the true spirit of home, it will be but a cheerless and desolate i mockery while the ' humble cot tage where love dwells and kind i ness reigns, may most beautifully ; exemplify the sweetness and blessedness of home. j A ifivat inuny people have kidney ami I i!ul!. r tniulile, mainly due to neglect of tin' iH'cai(inal iains in the liaek, slight rheumatic pains, urinary disorder, etc. i IMay in Mieh eases is dangerous.

The old, old love is glowing yet; You've tried through all the weary years, You've tried, but vainly, 10 forget; And now you've come to me once more, When time at last has made you free, And offer me again the heart, Whose earthly hopes are bound in me. Come, come and let me see your face, Your chestnut hair is touched with snow, But still it is the dear old face I loved so fondly years ago, The same as on that summer's day Bent over me and kissed my brow; Oh, happy years of trusting love; Ah ! well, it is all over now. No, no; you must not take my hand; God never gives us back our youth; The love and faiih you questioned then Were yours, dear friend, in perfect truth. A woman's wiles, a woman's tongue, Spoke doubt and anguish to your breast; You left me and my heart is dead, No voice can now disturb its rest. Forgive, but do not speak the word. I know you never meant me wrong; God sent an anguish to myheart To teach me to be brave and strong. Farewell ! I think 1 love you yet. As friend does friend; God bless you, dear, And lead you through the darkest way To where the sky is always clear. ONE DAY, Heavy Dumuges In a lireach of Promise Suit In Which Every body Is Mude Happy. The late William Parker, the eminent surgeon, had a case of goitre brought to him fur treatment. Those who have traveled in Switz-1 erland know of t..o awful swelling ' that is called the goitre. The pa-! tient brought to Dr. Parker was a millionaire many times over, and they wanted the doctor to perform the surgery and to warrant the safety of the patient and his recov-; ery, and they said they would give j him a million dollars if he would j warrant the undertaking. "Oh," : said the doctor, "I cannot warrant ! anything, but I will do the best I can!" My friend said to Dr. Par ker, "How did you feel when you were about to undertake that sur gery?" "Well," said he, "my hand trembled dreadfully, because, you know, I am an old man now; my hand trembled dreadfully; but just as soon as the instrument touched .the delicate place my nerves were strong as steel, and without any excitement I went right through the successful operation, and with no anxieties; as soon as 1 began my hand was firm." And we may have a great many anxieties about what is to come in life, and we may tremble about the great responsibility, but when we come up to the right place God will steady our hand; he will take hold of us, he will give us courage, and without any perturbation we will go right through. j A parishioner asked a clergyman j why the congregation had filled j up, why the church was now so ! prosperous above what it had ever j been before. "Well," said the j clergyman, 1 will tell you the se cret. I have always done my best." And in whatever occupa tion or profession God has put you, do your best; whether the world appreciates it or not, do your best always do your best. Domitian, the Roman emperor, for one hour every day, caught flies and killed them with his pen knife; and there are people with imperial opportunity who set themselves to some insignificant business. Oh, for something grand to do, and then concentrate all your en ergies of body, mind and soul up on that one thing, and nothing in earth or hell can stand before you. It requires a proper combination of certaiuac'klswith naturaldigcstive juices to perfect a dyspepsia cure. And that is what Kodol is a perfect digestei that digests all the food you eat.

Some day, some day, you, or 1 alone, Must look upon the scenes we two have known, Must tread the selfsame paths we two have trod, And cry in vain to one who is wiih God, To lean down from the Silent Realms and say, "I love you," in the old, fiiiiiiiitti' way. Some day and each day, beauteous though it be, Brings closer that dread hour for you or me, Fleet-footed Joy, who hurries time along, Is yet a secret for one who does us wrong.

To go is sweet, I wis Yet God must needs invent some special bliss To make His Paradise seem very dear To me who goes and leaves the other here.
