IIfe's Sunnp &pots.
by rnE LATE wm. LEeGETr.


Though life's dark and thorny path,
lis goal The silent tomb,
II yet some spots of sunshine hath,
That smiles amid the gloom;
The friend who veal and woe partakes,
Unchanged whste'er bis LOT,
Who kindly soolhes the heart that aches,
Is sure sunny spot.
The wife who half our burden bears,
And ulters net a moan;
Whose ready hand wipes off cur tears,
Unheeded all her own;
who treasures every kindly word,
Each harsher one forgot,
And carols brightly as bird
She's too, sunny spot.
The child who lifts al morn and eve,
In prayer its liny voice;
Who grieves whene'er its parent grieves,
And joys when they rejoice,
In whose bright eyes young genius glows,
Whose heart without blot,
Is fresh and pure as summers rose,
That child's sunny spot.
There's yet upon life's weary road
One spot Of brighter glow
Where sorrow half forgets its load
And tears no longer flow;
Friendship may wither, love decline,
Oar child his honor blot;
But sill undimm'd that spot will shine
Religion lights that spot.

narrowed to receive the allotted grain. Thos>
who are wise will therefore commence the purif-
cation of their blood without delay, and those
who are already attacked with sickness should
do the same.
Ladies should use Brandreth's Pills frequent
ly. They will ensure them from severe sickness
of the stomach, and generally speaking entirely
prevent it. The Brandreth Pills are harm less.
They increase the powers of life, they do not de-
press them. Females will find them to secure tha:
state of health which every mother wishes to en-
Joy. In costiveness, so often prevalent at an in
tcresting period, the Brandreth pills are a safe
and effcctuaI remedy.
On the first attack of fever, or any disease i'm

most cases be sufficient as first dose, and one

DR.. Benjamin Brandreth's Vegetable Univer-

blood of all impurities, removes every pain and

There is enough of the dog mixed up
in the following story to entitle it to the
name of ''dog story" A man down
East had been exceedingly annoyed by
wolves, which destroyed his sheep. In
the course of time dog-fancier offered 10
sell him dog. A very notable dog he
was TOO. The catalogue of his merits
was a very long one; there was not dog
virtue in the whole catalogue for which
he was not distinguished; but if there was
any one thing in which he particularly
excelled it was his prowess as a wolfhun-
ter. This was touching our friend on the
right spot; the bargain was closed, and he
only awaited an opportunity TO test his
merits. AT length there GENE light
snow, Just the kind a of snow for wolf
hunting, and he took his dog and gum
and sailed out. He soon crossed the
track of avARMINT; the dog took the scent
and bounded off in pursuit. On followed
our friend, up hill and down dale, Through
brush and through brier,' for two mortal
hours, when he came across a Yankee ol
the LIVE species chopping wood, and the
following satisfactory dialogue took place:
