A METRICAL MEDLEY.
Winter Is Coming.
I know that. Winter's coming fast,
The shortening day, the early night,
The zephyr chasing a polder bush,
The woods adorned with colors bright.
The squirrel chattering 'mongst the boughs,
The empty bird's nest in the tree,
The need of fires in the house.
Are signs of Winter sure to me.
Another sign that never fails,
And one a wise man always notes,
Is that which now your nose assails—
The smell of camphor on overcats.
-Lawrence American.
Rest.
Uprises, height on height.
Before me foresta spread, somberly glooming,
But touched with sunset light;
Behind the mountain's umbrage grandly loom-
ing
Thoughts
Downward sweet cadences the pines are send ing.
And all their murmurous klm;
Family floating up comes softly blending
The laughter of the lin.
The far off water placially lies dreaming
Beneath its vail of mist;
And mighty cliff and massive colign are seeming
Tinted with amethyst.
Red burns the sumach; by the brookside bloom- ing
The purple balls nods not.
**A** Glove, grab, uncoaning,
Flames out the golden red.
Peace—peace and rest, in sunshine and in shadow;
! Sweet sounds the jay's shrill cry;
and drowning on mountain and in meadow
Design as evening's dewy benediction
Uno to the sun-smit plain.
Softly beguing as a dream's sweet fiction
Upon the couch of pain.
This healing balm, and gracious christ suffusing
Tired brain and aching breast;
And life, its weariness and madness losing,
With the rest of us on our feet.
Father, we thank thee, not for labor ended,
But cheered with kind surcease;
Grant us at last thy rest and service blended
In person; with great esteem.
— Rev. Trouman S. Perry, in Advance
The Modern Photograph
The impression is quite general
That people are to-day
More highly intellectual
Than in ages passed away;
But the notion is erroneous
And I think a retrogression
Has been recently evinced.
Now, we have some strange conceptions
As to ways of dress and walk,
And the strangeness is extending
Even to ideas and talk;
Things have turned to topsy-turvy,
And are changing so of late
That old-timers lose their bearings
And can hardly navigate.
There are many funny fancies—
Some are fit to make one laugh—
But the oldest is the fashion
Of the latest photograph:
Formerly known for your picture
Front face, eyes upon a crack,
Nowadays the proper caper
Is to photograph your back.
—Frank B. Welch, In Time.
The Bonnet the Beauty.
The glory of a beauty's bonnet,
Which win at sight our hearty prais?
Is so sweet that your eyes do not
It needs not daturfoe nor dalsice.
"Tis not the velvet, silk nor satin,
Poised gravely upon her head,
"Tis not the trimming "that or in,"
Nor blended blossoms white and red.
That rich, attractive bonnet shining,
"A thing of beauty" in the street
Or church, is valued for its lining:
A face that's radiant and sweet.
**The admiration of a lover,**
**Unkindled by the richest lace**
**Or splendid plumes that wave above her,**
**Is lit by her fair, winsome face.**
The heart beats quicker in the bosom
Of one whose cheeks now红, now white
Who's thinking of the orange blossom,
A form of grace and eyes of light.
He thinks of a bright arch of roses,
Where plighted lovers will stand;
And when the ceremony closes
No happier pair will grace the land.
The glory of a beauty's bonnet
Which wins at sight our hearty praises,
Is seen within it, not upon it,
It needs not daffodils nor daisies.

WE ARE GOING TO THE I.C.G. STORE.
We heard that they wanted money. We wanted goods, and seeing that peculiar twinkle in Bayless' eye, we knew that something was going to turn up. Now here are the facts: We find by his own words and the size of their stock that they have too much for the inner man, and judging by the effect their goods have on themselves we had better while cheap, get on the outside of some ourselves.
Can't remember that we ever bought goods so low! In fact, while others are advertising to close out, we find that the I. C. G. by their prices might always be considered as closing out. It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give the proof by making prices. You remember when we were on the car of overhearing one person whisper in the ear of a friend that they always went to the I.C.G. Store to get prices even if they did buy of some one on credit, for then they knew they would not have to pay them too much on any goods in their line. So, thinking the matter all over and knowing how hard my poor husband had to work to keep up the table and clothe himself and family, I made a new resolve on January 1, 1890, that instead of his always having that troubled look on his face we would meet him with a smile when he returned home after a day's work and show him how much ready cash we had saved by trading at the
