STANZAS


BT BERNARD BARTON
The flowret's bloom is faded,
Its glossy leaf grown sere;
The landscape round is shaded
BY Winters frowu austere.
The dew, once sparkling lightly,
On grass of freshest green,
In heavier drops unsightly,
On matted weeds is seen.
No songs Of joy TO gladden.,
From leafy woods emerge;
But winds, in tones that sadden,
Breathe Natures mournful dirge.
All sights and sounds appealing,
Through merely outward sense,
To joyful thought and feeling,
Seem now departed hence.
But, not, with such, is banish'd
The bliss that life can lend;
Not with such things hath VANISHED
Its truest, noblest end!
The toys that charm and leave US,
Are fancy's fieeting elves;
All that should glad or grieve US
Exists within ourselves!
Enjoyment's genuine essence,
Is virtues godlike dover;
Its most triumphant presence,
Illumes the darkest hour.

PATENT BROWN STOUT.

PATENT BROWN STOUT.
A Brewer in country town
Had got a monstrous reputation
No other beer but his went down
The hosts of the surrounding station,
Carving his name upon their mugs,
And painting it on every shutter;
And though some enVious folks would
utter
Hints, that its flavor came from drugs,
Others MAINTAINED twas no such matter,
But owing to his monstrous vat,
At least as corpulent as that
At Heidelbers-and some said fatter.
His foreman was lusty black,
An honest fellow;
But one who had an ugly knack
OF tasting samples as he hrewed,
Till he was supplied and mellow.
One day in his topheavy mood,
Having to cross the vat aforesaid,
(Just then with boiling beer supplied,)
O'ercome with giddness and qualms, he
Reel'd-f fell inland nothing more said,
But in his lavorite liquor died,
Like Clarence in his butt of Malmsey.
In all directions round about
The negro absentee was sought,
But as no human NOODLE thought
That our fat Black was now Brown Stout,
They settled that the rogue had left
The place for debt, or crime, or theft.
Meanwhile the beer was day by day
Drawn into casks and sent away,
Until the lees flow'd thick and thicker.
When To- outstretched upon the ground,
Once more their raising friend they found
As they had often done-in liquor.
See, cried the moralizing master,
always knew the fellow drank hard,
And prophesied some sad disaster;
His fate should other tipplers strike,
Poor Mungo! there he welters, like
A toast at bottom of tankard.
Next morn publican, whose tap
Had help'd to drain the vat so dry,
Not having heard of the mishap,
Came sSenlaud fresh supply;
Protestin; loudly that the last
All previous specimens surpassed,
Possessing much richer guSt0
Than formerly it ever used to,
And begging as special favour
Some more of the exact same favour.
BOUNDS cried the Brewer, that's task
More difficult to grant than ask
Most gladly would | give the smack
Ofthe last beer to the ensuing,
But where am to find Black,
And boil him down at every brewing!

VALUABLE MEDICINE
For Coughs and Consamptions.

For Coughs and Consumptions.
The high reputation that AN
DERsoN's COUGH DROPS and PECTO-
RAJ POWDERS have gained for Coughs
and other affections of the breast and lungs
leading to consumption, renders it unnecessa-
ry to say much in recomm ending them to the
public, as no stronger proof of their possessing
uncommon virtues could be given than will be
found by reading the Certificates accompany
ing each bottle, given by those Of the first re-
spectability, who have used them in cases of
long standing, and some of them, where their
physicians had given them up as past recovery,
have been entirely restored by the use of this
medicine. The fact that they have now been
in use five years, and that the demand the
present season has been much greater than at
any former period is also a strong argument in
their favor. Thousands have shortened their
days by neglecting Coughs sahen first attack
ed, which have soon terminated in seated
Consumption, and proved fatal. Scarcely a
case of Colds, Coughs, Pain in the side, diff
Guilty of breathing, want of sleep arising from
debility, or even cousumptions but may be re-
lieved by timely use Of this Healing Balsam.
Each dollar Bottle of this medicine, contains
about 40 doses, which proves them to be a
cheap medicine, considering their virtues.

NEW CERTIFICATE.

hereby certify, that for more than year
previous to 1921 was afflicted with trouble
some and alarming cough, which rendered me
unable to labor or even to walk many rods
without causing profuse sweating, and after
trying many things without relief, obtained a
Vial of YA,pdersOn's Cough Drops, from the use
of which soon found great relief, so as to be
able to resume and continue my usual labor,
and have reason to believe that the use OF
them was the means of saving my life, as had
but little hopes of recovering again when
commenced taking them, and think them I'M
doubtedly the best medicine in use for COM
plants of the lungs. ELISHA DAVIS.

came Tom Worthless with his clothes
as raggedas beggar, and threw down a
shilling for gill; told him the story
and Tom, said |, you are putting your

bite-it will bite.
If they see an idle fellow running to
the stores for credit, to tell him he is

his fingers in too, and that it will bite

If they see an obstinate churl running
needlessly into the law, and expanding
dollar after dollar 10 cheat a neighbor,
instead of settling the matter peacea-
bly, at home tell him he too is prepar-

fore he thinks of it.
If they see young man about to get
married, who has no means disappearing

will bite sharper than he imagines, if he
don't take care.

or of being left legacy, or Of drawing
prize in lottery, or ofmaking money
by speculation, or Of times growing

sage, in which be recommends the repeal

the frequent disasters which have occurred

the appointment OF a committee to Investl'

tlves, offered resolution censuring the
governor in strong terms, and Tor an imme'

Alter a short discussion OF the resolution,
the House adjourned to meet the mkt day
We learn that the Senate will Oui agree
to make any alteration in the electoral
law.
If the legislature should adjourn with

be no doubt, the vote OF the state will be

AT the Gate of the last accounts from AL

and that was, that the law would not be
altered, and that the vote II New York
