ENO BROS. Dated, Hamburg January 10, Life and Love. FROM HARPER'S MONTHLY. Once, In the long ago, when Life and Love Walked ever hand in hand, They came to earth from fair realm land. above, And wandered through the Much they di4 Und whereon their art to try, For then the world was now.

They shook the sunbeams from the bended sky And steeped the ground with dew. Upon the felds the emerald tart they spread. And clad the hills in green; They laid the meadows in the vales, and led The glittering streams between. Life lifted up the dowers throughout the land Love stooped By and tonched them with woodland slope and ten; her And they h. ve bloomed since then.

glowing band, Life taught the birds to build within the brake And clothed each fledgelings wing: Love lifted up her voice but once to wake The songs which now they sing. Thus ever hand In hand they journeyed on, From sea to sunlit sea. Their garments had the fre-bnees of the dawn Which wakes the flowering lea. And journeying thus, at length they found a child New risen from the sod. Life frowned, and said, "He is a Lov smiled, And salth, "He is a go1 Then were their hands di-joined, from and the ground Betwixt the twain arose A dirk and shadowy figu sorrow-crowned, And draped tu sable woes.

Because that Nature's renderest demand Did seem little worth, From henceforth Life and Love their parted hands Shal' join no more on earth. For this the flowers shall haste to fall and fade The wood and feld turn sere, And all the songsters of the summer glade Fly with the changing year, Life lifted up the child and gave him breath, And he did walk betweenLove on the right, Life on the left Death Did follow, all unseen. "What wilt thou give," said Life "and I will show Thine eres the path of fame, And lead thee there, that after-years shall know And wonder at thy name?" "All," said the child "that Fate shall bring to me, And all that fame can give To heart and mind-all will I giye to thee, If I shall always live." But love stooped low and gently drew his head Against her bread white breast; will you give to me," she softly said, "And I will give thee rest?" "Alas!" he answered, "I am now bereft Of all 1 might contrel. One gift alone am leftTo thee I give my soul." Love put her sandals on his naked feet, And in her tender care Gave bim her broidered garment, soft and sweet. Such as a god might wear.

She girt bis body with the golden zone Loosed from her own warm breast; And on his lips the imprint of her own She passionately pressed. And in his heart she lit the deathless fire which rests not night nor day, But still doth turn the soul with fond desire To Beauty's path alway. So they did journey, and the land was fair; Each day wag like a dream In which the soul mones with moving air Along some crystal stream. But Life began to weary of the WAY, Such fickle heart hath she, And though Love plead with tears, she would not stay, But shook her fair band fre. Then Death came up swiftly in silent might, With arms outstretched and cold, And bare the child back to the land of Night, mingle mould with mould, But Love still journeyed on from scene to To find some land of s'ene, rest, And ever at her side soul did lean Close to her faithful breast.

have rolled by. Earth's children Longages Life false and fickle still; Her promises are fair, but she, unkind, Forsakes them all at will. The path is sweet and blooming still the same As in that day, And sable Death still follows bard, to claim The soul-forsaken clay. And still she lives whose dear divine control Nor Life nor Death can sever: And journeying still the unim prisoned soul Goes on with love forever. DEPARTED THIS LIFE.

People know as well as the merchant that holiday goods won't keep, and henee must be sold irrespective of weather cost or loss. there's anything discouraging to the merchant it's a lot of 10 year old shoppers in the Christmas line. The people get too thoroughly acquainted with them after five or six aniversarys spent in their company, and the goods themselves begin to look as though they ought to get into the ark.

We won't have and such businese, and things must go! We never knew the people to ignore a bargain, hence all you've got to do is to turn be your done goods into bargains, and that settles it. This can very easily on a blue day with a blue pencil. COME AND SEE THE TRACKS OF THE BLUE PENCIL Our present stock of holiday goods are brand new.

We've some Jems studing, pictin the picture line (so the Revd. B. C. Van Duzee says, and he's no novice as a critic.)

You cannot afford to pass us by in making up your holiday purches. No trouble to show goods. T.L.
