LUPIN.

(Near Lawyer's Head.) Yellow, drooping, scented lupin, Playing a portentous part On the margin of the ooean And the garden of the heart. Voiceless, perfumed spirit, growing Where the roses never dare. Learning on a. sandy desert To be restful, fresh, and fair. Visitant from far dominions, Where, .perchance, in pride you grew, Blessing a contented people — We have learned to bless you too. We have learned to say in winter, When the winds are bleak and drear, To our hearts, "Be brave and hopeful — See! the lupin buds are here!" We have lolled beneath your shadow When our bosoms, gay and young, - For the wayward love within them Found in every flower a tongue. We have watched you from the headland, Far beneath — a golden gleam, — Silent, beautiful, and laden With ' the incense of a dream. We have marked you, bending bravely, Sore by angry tempest pressed, Bidding care-worn ones be patient 'Mid the storm that wracks the breast. Far, the landscape bears your beauty — Yet the breezes bear your scent, Where your drooping bloom is hidden From the Vision, and Content, Like a dream of pleasure waking From an unseen couch, is blown From a garden near the .ocean Where -the flowers are all your own. Bloom in loveliness forever! For wherever we may go, In the garden-haunts of m<v:nory, Lovely lupin, you shall grow. — JOHK MACLBNNAir. Dunedin.

— A maddened bull held u6 an entire district of Belfast for over an hour the other day. It broke loose while being driven to the fair, and tossed a child, who was badly hurt. Next it dashed into a coal yard, causing 200 men to take to their heels. After overtaking a man and goring him severely the buL^.traversed 1 several business thoroughfares 'and entered Victoria Park, which was quickly emptied. Finally; it was lassoed in a pond. When attacked with. Diarrhoea or bowel complaint, you want a. toedicin© that acts quickly. The attack is always sudden, generally severe and with, increasing pain. Even a slight delay in procuring- a remedy increases the risk. Keep a> bottle of ■ Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and l Diarrhoea Remedy in the house and you are absolutely safe. It has never been known to fail in cases of colic, cholera, diarrhoea, or summer complaint in children. For sale everywhere*
