“The Long Ago.’*
“<jh! a wonderful stream is the river
of Time,
As it runs through the realm of Tears,
With a faultless rythm and a musical
rht me,
And a broadening sweep and a surge
sublime,
As it blends in the ocean of years.
“How the winters are drifting like
flakes of snow,
Ami the summer like buds between.
And the years in the sheaf, how they
come and go,
On the river’s breast with its ebb and
its flow,
As it glides in the shadow ami sheen.
“There’s a magical isle up the river of
Time.
Where the softest airs are playing.
There’s a cloudless sky and a tropical
dime,
Ami a song as sweet as a vesper chime,
Anu the .Junes with the roses are
straying.
“And the name of this isle is the‘Long
Ago,’
And we bury our treasures there,
There are brows of beauty and bosoms
of snow,
There arc heaps of dust -oh! we loved
them so—
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
“There are fragments of songs that
nobody sings,
There arc parts of an infant’s prayer,
There’s a lute unswept and a harp
without strings,
There are broken vows and pieces of
rings,
Ami the garments our dead used to
wear.
“There are hands that arc waved when
the fairy shore,
By the fitful mirage is lifted in the
air,
And we sometimes hear through the
turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind down the river was
fair.
“Oh! remembered for aye, be that
blessed isle.
All the day of our life until night,
And when the evening glows with its
beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing in slumber
awhile,
May the greenwood of soul be in
sight.

THE DANGER
to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for
ward to the hour of woman’s
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to smooth these rugged places
in life’s pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe.
MOTHER’S FRIEND
allays Nervousness, and so assists
Nature that the change goes for
ward in an easy manner, without
such violent protest in the way of
Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy
forebodings yield to cheerful and
hopeful anticipations —she passes
through the ordeal quickly and
without pain—is left strong and
vigorous and enabled to joyously
perform the high and holy duties
now devolved upon her. Safety
to life of both is assured by the
use of “ Mother’s Friend,” and
the time of recovery shortened.
“I know one lady, the mother of three
children, who suffered greatly in the
birth of each, who obtained a bottle of
‘ Mother’s Friend ’ of me before her
fourth confinement, and was relieved
quickly and easily. All agree that their
labor was shorter and less painful.”

The Rescue.
The valley lay shrivelled and dried
under the burning summer sun. The
erstwhile green fields were parched
and brown; 'he running brooks were
merely a series of pools connected
here and there by voiceless threads of
water. The white country roads
wound through the fields and woods
and at intervals a creaking farm wagon
crept dejectedly along them with its
accompaning trail of choking dust.
The farmers sai lif it did not rain
the crops would be ruined and there
would be only a harvest of debts when
harvest time came. And there was
dejection in their hearts as they moved
stolidly up and down the furrows of
the fields. There was droopiug dejec
tion among the plant people, too. The
twisted blades of the corn hung mo
tionless in the sultry air. The vagrant
blackberry bushes by the wayside were
rusty and the fruit hard and dry.
1 here was not a breeze to whisper
hope to them and not a cloud to tem
per the brassy sunlight. It was parch
ing heat, parching thirst, parching
drouth, a whole parched valley and
not a drop of water. So the weary
day dragged on.
The oak tree at the margin of the
field tried to comfort the complaining
corn. “If you can only hold out a
little longer; it is sure to rain.”
“Yes,” rustled ‘he corn dryly, “but
we can’t. Our roots are tender and
near the surface. Your have years of
experience and your long tap roots
pierce to the hidden springs, but look
at us! the growth of a day! The
mills are waiting for us and the people
depend upon us and yet we shall fail
utterly for want of a little Water.”
Thus they lamented when the oak
said “Tlus-s-s-h!” in a shrill whisper.
Its sister sentinels farther up the val
ley were signalling to it with wildly
waving branches. There was silence
and then a vibrant hum made itself
heard and the hitherto silent and sul
try air seemed to live and move as if
with unseen spirits. The oak wasvis
ibly agitated and the corn looked up
expectantly. A rolling, mighty, va
pory gray host was rapidly advancing
to the rescue of the beleaguered val
ley. The valiant, gray warriors were
skirting the mountain tops and pour
ing themselves pell-mell along the val
ley; their ragged gray banners flaunt
in the breeze, their thunderous artil
lery reverberates and lightnings flash
from peak to peak across their serried
front. It is the sound of their fast
falling feet that hums mightily through
the air. The valley watches breath
lessly as the ranks of gray fling them
selves heavenward and finally blot out
the sulky sun. And now all is wild
agitation where only a few moments
ago the very air seemed dead. Flying
winds, the advance agents of this
“wave of prosperity,” tear madly
through the corn field shouting “It is
coming!” and with a parting, playful
tug at thoir old time friend, the oak,
are gone their rollicking ways. The
corn half in terror, half delight, hugs
the ground. A few warning rain drops
descend and then suddenly it seems
that the heavens themselves have
opened to deluge this thirsty valley.
A few hours later the rescue party
is gone and only a few stragglers come
rippling along. The brooks, mightily
reinforced, are tumbling along gurg
ling with full satisfaction. The stolid
black berries merely hang their heads
over the gray rail fence in heavy con
templative way. The oak, always line
and cheerful, shakes himself like a
huge leafy monster and whispers to
the corn:
••Well, little children, how about
my prophecy? How do you feel now?”
“Oh, finely,” rustled the corn, hold
ing itself up and expanding with every
breath. But as it looks down the val
ley after the retreating hosts of gray it
suddenly grows stiff and cries rasping
iy:
“Look, will you! The next farm is
getting more than we did. I bet this
slope up here isn’t wet deeper than
three inches.” E. C.
