Should you ask we why thia snerzing, Why this whe: zing ana this coughlug, With their pains and cramps and stiffness, With their aches of all dese) iptions ‘Trouble now so many people ? I should auswer, I should tell you, Tell you a}l in trembling accents Tiat La Grippe has struck the country, Struck the city and its doctors, Struck the towns, with all their parsons, Struck tue lightes*, loftiest, greatest, Struck the lowest, meanest. vilest, Of the great Canadian people. It respects not any person, It cares not for wealth or fashion, But is friendly unto all men, And it grips you and it hugs you, And it tightens and it binas you Til you think your bones are broken, Till you think your blood is frozen, And the world seems dark and dreary, And ali hope has left your bosom, And you meditate and wonder, Still you thiuk and ponder deeply, Will 't grip and hug forever ? And 1 answer and I tell you, It is but a nine days’ wonder, It is but a passing Visit That it’s paying to our country That we may not feel offended, That we may not here feel slighted. So L tell you and advise you, Tieat it kindly, treat it wisely, With a little pill of quinine And a little mustard pl ister, And 'twil say good-bye forever, Take a long and tearful tarewe 1, And you'll then be gled you had it, So to sympathize with others, So to tell them huw it took you, You'll exaggerate the symptoms, | You'llelaborate your feelings,

You wilt chuckle that it left you. FLORA MAcDoNALp.

Kingston Heard From

PURSUANT to arrangement, the members of Kingston Star Division, S.of T., gathered at the Schoolhouse on the afternoon of New Year’s Day, for the purpose of having their annual New Year's drive. After threo rousing cheers had beea given fur the Kington. Star Division, fifteen sleighs preceded by a banner drove around the block, by way of Bedeque Road, arriving at the Division Room about four o’clock in ithe evening, there to enjoy the New Year's festivities. The proceedings of the evening commenced by an invitation being extended to Mr. Robert Burns McPhee to give an address. In compliance, Mr. McPhee (who is G. C. of the Grand Division) in a few well-chosen remarks defined his position on the temperance question. He was followed by Messrs. Danie] T. Fraser and John Me- Dougall, who highly complimented the Division on the creditable display they had made, and also on its general prosperity. After this the boys and girls spent the re- ‘mainder of the evening in song, feasting and social converse. At the hour of mid- night the party separated, carrying pleasant reccllections of the manner in which they had spent the first evening of the New Year, jrecollections which will brighten many a \dark hour: and “chase away ioany « gad i thought.

Have a Purpose.

Young man, have «# purpose in your heart. Now, what is your purpose in life ? Is it that, under all circumstances you will do what you think is mght. Or is it to be- icome rich at the expense of principle and right. he first purpose you should have is to care for yourself. Young men now-a- days dou't, and when the body is wrecked they hobble through life, making everybody about them miserab'e. Find out what diet best agrees with you, and adhere t» it. Diniel began by abstaining trom wine. This would be a good start for you, young man.

Wext, take care of your intellect. Study if you have intellect—there are some young men who don’t know whether they have any or not--improve it, Many hard worked men have acquired profound educa- tions by being studious during small inter- vals of leisure. Get an hour a day if you can get nomore. Devote half of it to the study of the Bible, and divide the other thirty minutes, say between astronomy, | botany and geology. Do this one year, and }you will be surprised at what yoy have ac- |complished

| Thea take care of your manners. The j|manner3 of Canadians are degenerating | There.was atime when a young man would Bot offend a young lady by putting cigar smoke into her face. Now I see it done on ithe horse cars every day. Imilate the isweetuess of Daniel. Be affable, suave, ‘courteous and kind, Never utter a tucugit- lless word that will pain.
