THE ENTERPRISE OF EA5T NORTHUMBERLAND Volume XXI.--No. 16. COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, OCT. 22, 1903. $1.00 in advance, or $1.25 at end of year AS A LEAF. Tsiah 64:6. We view with interest deep auc'. keen The summer leaf of living green, And as it fades this truth is seen "We all do fade as a leaf." With thoughtful gaze, or passing glance Hade plain in nature's vast expanse, This truth we read as days advance We all do fade as a leaf. In fields and forests everywhere. By night and day, in earth and air, All signs this solemn truth declare We all do fade as a leaf. And from the leaf once green and sweet Which now lies withered at onr feet We hear a voice this truth repeat We all do fade as a leaf. We who in all contentment dwell, We who are young and strong and well We who in life's best gifts excell We all do fade as a leaf. In those who are Divinely led The falling laaf inspires no dread Though of this life it may be said We all do fade as a leaf. JFor all who do the Lord obey There is a home in realms of day Where happy inmates never say We all do fade as a leaf. For there the trees are always green: And there no signs of life are seen. To reach that land of joy serene We all must die as a leaf. A BLESSING TO CHILDREN. "From the fulness of my own experience," writes Mrs. Samuel Hamilton, of Rawdon, Que., "I can say tnat Baby's Own Tablets are an indispen-sible medicine in every home where there are infants and young children. They speediy relieve and cure all the common ailments incident to childhood. In fact I think the Tablets are a blessing to children." It is such sincere, honest words as these that has made Baby's Own Tab lets the most popular medicine with mothers all over the land. The Tad-lets can be given to all children from the tiniest, weakest baby to the well grown child, and where they are used you find only healthy, happ'y children in the home. You can get the Tablets from any dealer in medicine, or they will be sent by mail at 25c a box by •writing The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockyille, Ont. UNION CORNERS.
