SHE faded, but IN beauty-not charm
Of feature or expression left her calm
And all-enduring look, that neekly bore
Smiles, as Ia happier years Of infancy,
Before her roses wither'd. Not sigh
Escap'd her; but she seem'd to live in hope,
That kindled BY defeuing. She had fed
So long upon the higher sympathies,
And had so purified heFheart's desires,
That all to her was spirit; and veil
OF an ethereal tenderness was thrown
Der all that once seem'd beautiful and thus
She saw no other world. than such as PATH
Had promised to her second life. No dark
And bigot frown o'ershadow'd her fair brow,
That every day grew purer, till it seem'd
Wrought of an angels essence, and it rose
Calm as the cloudless canopy of heaven;
and through it came light, that gave to all,
On whom it sweetly shone, her peacefulness
And silent hope. Her feelings ever grew
Softer; and every thing, that had sense
OF suffering, was pitied, if the winds
Blew chillier and even the falling flowers
We're tenderly lamented. She had been
A deyotee to Nature, and she felt
Intensely all its loneliness, and hung
DsiHhtsd on its wonders-not with dumb
And thoughtless ecstacy, but with an eye
That read soul within them, and voice
That hymn'd the song of gratitude. Her eye
Yet stole abroad at evening, when the wind
Is silent, and the landscape all is sill,
And flowers are folding up their dewy leaves,
And birds are going to their unfedg'd young
Hid in the CLUSTERED foliage; when the air
Just stirs enough to rock them to repose,
And crisp the surface of a silent stream,
That flashes in the last departing ray,
And circles with its sheet of flowing gold
The islet tufted with an iris crown,
And the bright purple of the floating leaves,
That wave along its current, as the wind
SWays them In graceful curves, and slowly
turns
Their eTer-changing mirrors to the sun,
I'LL the pool glitters with their glancing light.
She chose this hour Of worship; and she knelt,
Not to the beautiful creatures she beheld,
Butte their COMMON PARENT. Tho the world
Might claim spirits awe, it spread so fair,
So awful, and so wonderful around
And had such magick hues upon its clouds,
And such tint of love upon its sky,
And such blended harmony of light
And shadow, such a host of fairy forms,
All mellow'd by the misty ev'ning air,
And lovelier in their softness, that a soul
Fresh from its fountain might have worshipp'd
here
Such rare and countless beauty. There she
bent,
herself the fairest and she first took in
With an intensest pleasure, all the fair
And wondrous forms around her, and then
rais'd
Her eyes in alteration. Then her brow
Met the clear sky, that was alone as pure,
And her keen eyes, that gather'd, as her life
Grew weaker, more of spirit, till they fash'd
With her SOULS inward movipgs-tiose keen
eyes
Iook'd on the stars, thatn came family forth
On their night watching, and they seem'd to
find,
In those ethereal messengers, their home.
And there was such an ecstacy, her fern
Seem'd chang'd to something heavenly, and
to rise
AS dove rises on quiet wing, -
And aoat into her kindred purity.

ANDERsoN's COUGH DROPS
AND
Pcctoral Powders.
The most valuable Medicine ever used for
COUGHS, CONsUNIP1IONS, AND
ASTHMAS.
THIS new and healing Balsam

THIS new and healing Balsam
undoubtedly rivals every Medicine here
tofore discovered, for Coughs, and complaints
of the Lungs, leading to Consumption; and
even in seated Consumptons, it has lately
been used by many, with the most surprising
success. If Certificates from persons of the
highest responsibility, or the great and in
creasing demand for them, may be called proof
of its good effects, it is proved. Scarcely a
case of Colds, Coughs, Asthma, pain in the
side, difficulty of breathing, want of sleep
arising from debility, or even Consumptions,
but may be relieved by the timely use of this
Medicine. Every genuine bottle has $ finder
sons Cough Drops't stamped ON the bottle ;
and the directions are all signed by JAMES
MELbEN.
For the further satisfaction of the pub
lick, the following Certificates are offered for
perusal -
Having made use Of Anderson's Cough
Drops in my family, and having been request
ed to express my opinion Of their efficacy in
the cure of Coughs--I hereby certify, that a
daughter of mine was severely afflicted with a
Cough for about a year previous to the sum
mer of 1890, during which time she was more
or less attended by several Physicians but,
appearing to obtain no relief, her life was des-
paired of. Being informed of the great cures
effected by Anderson's Cough Drops, | was in
duced to make use Of a bottle, and in the course
of one week only, she was relieved of her COM
plant. After using two bottles, she entirely
recovered, and now enjoys as good health as
ever. From my own experience, therefore,
have no hesitation in recommending these
Drops to the publick.

This is to certify, that !, the Subscrib-
er, had been afflicted with the Asthma for TWEEN
ty years, and the paroxysms were often so VIC
lent as nearly to deprive Inc of breath. During
one of the most violent returns of the Asthma,
was advised to try Anderson's Cough Drops,
and did 30 and, to my surprise, was very
soon entirely relieved, and felt no more Of the
Asthma for six months. Upon return of a
paroxysm Of the Asthma, have made use Of
the same Medicine, and it has invariably given
me relief. As it respects the Asthma, and its
attendant symptoms, difficulty of breathing,
&c. consider Anderson's Cough Drops REM
edy, an praise of acitieh too mach cannot be said.
i further certify, that my son-in-law had for
some time been supposed to be past recovery
of Cousumptive complaint, when advised
him to make trial of Anderson's Cough Drops,
and from the use Of them, he has SO far recoy-
cred his health as TO be again able to attend to
his business. JOHN LYSCOM, Surgeon.

The advice of friends is often highly
useful to prevent an imprudent match !;
butitseldom happens that marriages turn
out happily which have been made from
the opinions of others, rather than from
the Judgment and inclinations of the par
ties concerned; for let the general rea-
sons on which the advice is founded be
ever so sensible, it is scarcely possible
that the adviser can take in all the little
circumstances of taste and temper, upon
which so much of happiness or misery
of domestick life depends. Besides, peo-
pie are much more apt to repent Of hav-
ing been guided by the Judgment of an
other, than of having followed their
own; and this is most likely TO be the
case with the weakest minds. Strong
minds can decide for themselves, not by
the opinions, but by the reasons that are
laid before them. Weak minds are in
fluenced merely by opinions, and never,
either before or after their decision, are
firm in abiding by the prepondsrating
reasons.
