A WEDDING SONG,
And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt ii fold
And far across the hills they went,
In that new world which is the old.
Across the hills and far away
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
And deep into the dying day
The happy princess followed him.
And o'er them many a gliding star
And many a merry wind was borne,
And streamed thro, many a golden bar,
The twilight melted in the morn.
And o'er ihem many a flowing range
Of vapor buoyed the cresent barks
And rapt thro" many a rosy change
The twilight died into the dark.
And o'er the hills and far away,
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
Beyond the night, across the day.
Thro' all the world she followed him.
DONEGAL BAY
As I sit by the window high up in my room,
Midst the smoke of the city, its noise and its gloom,
Down the dead years, ashore, I am drifting this day,
To that old sunlit harbor of Donegal Bay.
The liRht touch of your hand and the curve of your cheek
And my heart throbbing back to the soft words you speak,
With ihc lift of our boat to the waves' lilting play
And the bright sunlight dancing on Donegal Bay.
The llighi of the wild gulls and wind whistling free,
The wide full-swelling salt and the swing of the sea,
And the salt, stinging kiss of the fast flying spray,
With ihe sun laughing down on Donegal Bay,
The wide waters around us, and gleaming on high
The white clouds and the blue shining arch of the sky;
Oh, 'twas Junetime and lovetime, now vanished away,
Bui the sumis still glinting on Donegal Bay.
Just a lad and a lass, sure the tale's nothing new!
Bui the black sorrow's on me, I'm longing for you
And the tones of a voice that is silent today.
Though the sun jewels snarkle on Doni-gal Ray,

NO SUBSTITUTE FOR REST.
REST IS ONE TH1NO t-'OK WHICH
NATURE NEVER MADE A SUBSTI
TUTE." Young persons often say: "I
don't need much sleep; 1 can be up
late every night and never feel it."
It is surprising how much abuse of
that sort Mother Nature will stand.
But payday finally comes.
It is a good deal like the case of
the man who starts out with money
in the bank left him by his father.
He spends freely without thinking
whether he is spending more than
his income. Then one fine day he
wakes up to discover that he has
been paying out more than has
been coming in, and his bank bal
ance is gone.
Medical science has arrived at
two important conclusions. One
is that very much ill-health is
caused by fatigue, the other thai
rest is one of the most important
of remedies.
It is common experience that we
catch cold more readily when we
are fatigued. So with other germ
diseases. The bacteria are on the
watch ready to make an attack
whenever the resistence of the body
is lowered. One of the common
ways by which the resistance is
lowered is by fatigue.
Fatigue plays its part in so sim
ple a matter as walking. The
scarcely perceptible pause between
steps gives enough rest for a per
son to walk a long time at his na
tural gait. If he hurries a trifle he
loses this rest and soon gets win
ded. A person uses about the
same amount of energy in going
upstairs, whether he walks or runs.
But the lack of rest in running up
stairs makes the exercise from it
far more violent. A boat crew in
order 10 be successful is supposed
to rest between strokes. The crew
that gets in a hurry wears itself
out.
When we become tired all sorts
of things may happen. Sometimes
we may have a sense of dizziness
or of nausea. In that case the
stomach is the weak point and the
weak point and the symptoms are
from weariness of that organ. The
eyesight of some persons is affected
by fatigue, and they think they are
going blind.
Occasionally our symptoms con
vince us we are losing our minds,
Every person is familiar with the
little lapses that are so annoying
the inability to remember a name
soon after it has been heard, or
just read, the sense of being far
failure to retain the sense of a page
away, of general unreality. All of
ihem are evidence of fatigue.
One of the curious things about
getting tired is that often we are
not conscious of it at the time, or
even the next day. People who
work long hours on Saturday often
do not feel the effects until Monday
or Tuesday.
There are very few diseases that
are helped by drugs Not more
than six or eight out of one hun
dred and fifty. But poor health
pretty generally is improved by
rest. Sleep, of course, is ihe great
rest agency. Most people need at
least eight hours; more than less.
Nobody need worry about sleeping
too much.
Often the great trouble with sick
people is that they go to the doctor
expecting him to give them some
thing to make them well while they
keep up the bad habits ihat made
them sick. They want to take
medicine instead of sleep. But
rest is one thing for which Nature
never made a substitute.
