Nor , yet 'tis wholly rain " „
Life Is fall of jsunshlne never ,
Bounds of sorrow ring out over ,
Little gleams of light we see
Through the clouds which sail so tre %
Tho' they hide the glittering star
Well we know they glimmer afar.
If we gaze with downcast eyes
Never then will wo be "wise , .
Godsends His mercies rich and fast ,
Yet when they're forever past
We forgot tv ey were so rare ,
Do not see the sunshine there.
Quaffing sadly from the fountain
Of a mite wo make a mountain ,
Thinking life Is wholly rain.
For so little have wo gained
Of the warmth ever rich and light
Shedding rays BO free and bright.
Joys and griefs , fast they gather ,
So do clouds and fair weather ,
, 'Let us then look upward , seeing
That the Author of our being
From goodness does not refrain ,
For no life is wholly rain.

Tbo Fatal " Spare-Room " Bed.
"Death rides on every passing breeze , he lurks
In every flower , "
And do our best we can't escape his grim an <
awful power ;
He stalks upon the battlefield , whore thousands
meet their fate ,
He's ever knocking at the palace and the cot *
tage gate.
En peace and war , by night and day , no's gar
nering his sheaves
Of fair and tender buds and blooms and sere and
yellow leaves ;
But of all places whore he loves to linger It Is
said
No other pleases him so well as does the "spare-
room" bed.
Within this damp and awful thing that new
gets the air
Death comes with bold Impunity and makes hie
fatal lair ;
Its ticks are deep and chill and drear , Its sheets
are moist and cold ,
And death 'serenely smiles on him within their
Icy fold.
In that far corner of the bouse where sunshin
never strays
Upon the helpless victim there his chilling hand
he lays ,
The angels know how many of our loving friends
are dead ,
Because they dared to sleep within the awfu
"spare-room" bed.
How oft Is Providence accused of stealing from
our hearts
The smile of one whose going hence a gloom to
earth imparts ;
'Twas not the angels called him to his sleep
among the dead ;
By giving him that awful room , we murderec
him instead.
'Tls not until our January guest is laid away
That we recall his couch was dressed just warm
enough for May ,
Our guilty conscience tells us then the column
at his head
Should read , "Here lies a victim of the damp
cold , spare-room bed. "
Chicago Herald ,
A Jolly Wizard.
Oh ! a wizard dwelt in a cave by the sea ,
And a dreamer of dreams was he ;
The wild waves' roar as they broke on the
shore
Gave him mirth and jollity ;
For he'd people the rocks and the sounding
deep
With phantasies weird as the products o
sleep.
Oh ! he dreamed of a maiden fair as a star ,
Who came o'er the rolling sea
On the snowy crest of the billow's breast ;
With airy head walked she ;
And her face was as white as the driven snow
And her voice was like music bad and low.
Oh I. she sang of love , and of lover's pain ,
And she sang of a dream so sweet
That had urged her soul to a desperate goal ,
For the sake of a wild heart-beat.
For the lover she loved in her fondest dream
Was false as the glitter of lyook and stream.
Oh ! the wizard dwelt in a cave by the sea ,
And a dreamer of dreams was he ;
Through phantasies sad and phantasies glad
He kept his jollity ;
* TOT a dream is a dream , and not life , " quoth
he ,
* But love which is life ne'er a dream can be ! '

" Why not take" with a groan
As of one in deep pain
He put out a weak hand ;
" If you love me , refrain.
" All my neighbors and friends
Have prescribed round my bed ,
And my wife jealous soul 1
Followed all that they said.
I have swallowed things soft
And have bolted things hard ;
I've worn plasters until
I am sore by the yard.
I've had ice on my head
And hot irons on my spine ,
And been dosed with hot teas
Till for Iceland I'd pine.
I have soaked my poor feet
Till they're tender as boils ,
And most sneezed my head off
In snuff's fiendish toils.
If there's aught left to do
From your mind let it slip ,
For on 'remedies sure'
I've just got the grip.
This began as a cold ,
But so complex has grown
With the names it's been dubbed
That I do not dare own
That the one thing I need
Is to be let alone. "
Detroit Free Press ,
The Hare In the Corn.
Beyond , in the distance ,
Goes by the gray moon ,
And from the far sea-wall
Comes up a gay tune ;
The music drifts nigh me ,
And , sure as you're born ,
'Tis a piper lad playing
"The Hare in the Corn. "
How it quickens my pulses ,
That lilting old tune.
And brings back the time
When , a merry gossoon ,
I tripped it with Peggy
From night until morn ,
And the piper's best tune was
"The Hare in the Corn. "
Ah I Peggy , sweet Peggy ,
The stars on the sea
Shone never so bright
As your blue eyes on me.
Small need of a ribbon
Your looks to adorn ,
As we jigged it so lightly
"The Hare In the Corn. "
'Twas backward and sideways ,
And then an advance ,
Like a feather you floated
Along in the dance ;
We'd never a fiddle ,
No flute or a horn ,
Just the piper lad playing
"The Hare in the Corn. "
Faith ! then was the day-
I'd walk many a mile
For the touch of your hand
' And the light of your smile ;
Sure a queen or a princess
'You' * put them to acorn
As I faced you when dancing
"The Hare In-the Corn. "
But alas for us both I
For you faded from sight
And the ghost of my youth
Walks beside me to-night ,
And the faint echoes o'er me
Sound sad and forlorn
'Tis a piper lad playing
"Tho Hare In the Corn. "

New Gas Invention.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch describes a
new invention by Mr. William Eoot ,
which promises important results.
It consists of the combination of air
with the gas as it issues from the
burner. The experiment made was
with a small revolving fan on the same
shaft that runs the other machinery. A
pipe from this connected from beneath
with a glory hole and ran up to the
center of the burner. Heretofore it has
required the valve wheel on the gas
supply pipe to be turned once and a
half around to supply enough pressure
for the glory hole , but when the air
was turned on the wheel only required
to be moved one-fourth inch. The
usual pressure to a glory hole is one
ounce , while in this case the pressure
was a very small fraction of this
amount.
Mr. Eoot said that by putting the air
in all the burners the pressure in the
factory could be reduced to three ounces
where sixteen to twenty are now re
quired.
About the Gentler Sex.
Several gentlemen were discussing
the question : What do women like best
to do ?
"To. get married , " said one.
"To be in love , " said another.
"They would rather dance , " remarked
a fourth.
"What's the matter with putting on
finery ? "
"Shopping , " suggested a fifth.
An elderly gentleman finally * re
marked : "The female sex like all the
things you have mentioned , but my ex
perience teaches me there is one thing
they prefer over all , and that is 'to boss

To-day it is raising in torrents. He knows by
experience the value of a "Fish Brand Slicker. "
It is his sole article of dress , and to him worth
drawers , shirt , coat , vest , and pants. He'll tell
you tales by the hour of storms lasting days and
nights when that "Slicker" made up the whole
difference between comfort and misery ; and all for
a mere trifle from his week's pay. Why don't
you buy one for yourself ? To realize how little it
costs , think how long it lasts. It will oufcvear
four suits of clothes. Better get one to-day , be
fore you forget it. A day's delay may .cause a
month of sickness , and cost a hundred tunes the-
price of a Slicker. Beware of worthless imitations ,
