THE GRAY MOTHER.

(To an old Gaelie air.) From The Spectator,

(The Colonial Volunteers proceeded to the front.—Public Press.)

:

Lo, how they come to me, Long through the nigbt Ah, how they turn to me,

I call them,

Bast and South my children seatter, North and West tue worid they Waluer,

Yet they come back ‘to me, Come with their brave hearts beating, Long.ng io die fur we,

Me, the grey, old, weary mother, Throned amid the Northern waters,

Where they have died for me, Died with their songs around me, Gird.ng my sbores for me.

Narrow was my dwelling for them, Homes they builded o’er the ocean, Yet they leave all for me, a Hearing their mother calling, sringing their lives for me.

Far from South seas swiftly sailing, Out from under stars 1 kuow not,

Come they to fight for me, Sous of the sons I nurtured, God keep them safe for me,

Long ago their fathers saved me, Died for me among the heather,

Now they come back to me, Come, in their children’s children, Brave of the brave for me,

In the wilds and waves they slumber, Deep they slumber in the deserts,

tise they from graves to me, Graves where they lay forgotten, Shades of the brave for me,

Yet my soul Is veiled In sadness, For I see thew fail and perish, j

Strewlng the hills for me, a Claiming the wozid In dying, Bought with tbheic blood for me,

Hear the grey, olf Northern mother, Blessing now her dying children—

God keep ye safe for me, Christ watch ye in your sleeping, Where ye have died for me.

And when God's own slogan soundeth, All the dead world’s dust awakening,

Ah, will ye look for me? Bravely we'll stand together, I and my sons with me. ~—L . MacLean Watt.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN CLIMATE.

A Low Rate of Rainfall anda High Tem-

Observations of the weather have been systematically made for many years in South Africa, and in the Cape Colony the meteorological con- ditions have been as carefully and completely studied as in England, says The London Standard. In other parts, however, the observations are far less satisfactory, and in the Transvaal observations may be said to searcely evist, our krowledve of

DANGER ON THE PRAIRIES.

Alkali in Great fource of Trouble

in Northwest.

Oax Lake, Man, Feb. 5.—One of the great drawbacks to life in the great Cana- dian wheat belt, 18 .the presence of alkali in the water. This is @ prolific source of kiduey and bladder trouble and it is for this rearen that Dodd’s Kidney Pills are beeeming indispeneatle in thie district.

Frank Cclleaux, of Oak Lake writes; “It gives me great pleasure to testify to he excellent curative qualities ot Dodd’s Kidney Pilea. About two yearsagol was attacked with kidney cisease and severe pains in the back. A friend of mine advieed me to try Dedd’s Kidney Pilla, 1 did so and eix boxes cured me. My back har pottroubled me since.”’
