FRIENDSHIP

We believe in love, but have little faith i'm friend
ship-and least Of all, in those men who profess the
most. So long as you have pocket full of money,
or power to confer benefits and TO dispense favors,
there is no lack of what the world calls his friends
Smiles and compliments, and helping hands, meet
you every where but when the day Of adversely
comes, those smiling friends will fall off
"Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath
blown"
Most of us in our ''saad days" are disposed to
trust In the professions of friendship and believe
that all that gitters is gold. 1t is however, but
morning dream, and the sooner the delusion is bro.
KEN the better for interests, il for our hearts
In youth we are all poets and optmists by nature,
but as our of life ascends the dews of affection
dry up, the flowers of hope wither and close, and
the beautiful mists rise from the Wales and vanish
from the hills Life becomes stern and rucped
and real and every man must fight its hard battle
or fall on the field

Here, while standing among group of comrades

VEGETABLE ANTI-BILIOUS
YAMGLW PILLS.

nR. GoRDON's PILLS are truly the sick mans
- friend No Traveller or Family should be without
mem. iheir timely administration will prevent much
P. III, anu suffering, aud save many valuable lives.
ihcss Pills We're compounded by Dr. Gordon after
o' study and careful obscrv upon the
different medicines, aud the effect which they produce
upon inherent constitutions various forms Of disease.
lhey have been extensively used by some of our most
eminent Physicians and by many private families for
se'era years; and such has been the satisfaction which
thcy nave given, that il is firmly beev cd that the veg
eaelc Kingdom does not furnish any for pur-
gavc incidence which snrpasscs for general use those
OF whlcn these pills composed. They do not con
tain Calome, Mercury, or any mineral preparations
Out are composed entirely of vegetable
tracts carefully prepared and combined to be Ger
tam, Saic and Easy in their operations should il be
othcrwise, the stomach and bowels contain foul and
acrd bilious mattcrshowing great necessity for pur
gativc medicine. -
These Pills do require particular attention TO diet
or drink and may be taken at all times when mos,
convenient without the fear Of liability to take
cold.
1t is asserted by many that Fevers. and in fact all
diseases are caused by impure state of the blood
The impurities which usually pass off by the bowels and
various other outlets, beng retained in the blood
dcrs unfit for the no0rishmcnt and support of the diff
ferent parts of the body This produces discasc-and
that part Of the stem which is weakest smost easily
affected
The Bowels being the principal channel through
winch great portion OF the impurities of the system
are discharged, is evident that whatever acts bcnc-
ciahy ON them must be conductive to heath-And as
the Bowels the most ciectual, and in fact almos,
the only way by which general impression can be
aae upon inc system, II is perfectly reasonable 10 sup
pose, that nearly all diseases will be cured
much benefttcd by ajudicous ofpurgatve
IL ply is called TO patient what the first
done? He prcscribcs dose two of purgatvc mcdi-
cincs and then, after day two il the patient no
better, he gives him another dose Of purgatve mcdi-
cine, AND so doing other little thngs-but the
main reliance for cure is upon the effect produced by
purgatve medicines. Therefore il you SICK DELAY
not, but take few doses Of DR.. Gordon's Vegetable
Family Pills, and be again restored TO health.

FRUrr TsEEs-An excellent plan for prevent
ing young fruit trees from becoming hide bound aud
messy, and for promoting their growth aud health,
IS to take bucket of soft soap and apply it with d
brush TO the stem or trunk, from top TO bottom,--
this cleanses the bark and destroys the worms, or
the egg insects and the soap becoming dissolved
by the rain, desceuds to the soots, and causes the
tree to grow vigorously.

were opened with the following hymn:

Yet each receives FROM heaven its showers
And each the morning dew.
So we, tho varying in our mode
OF worship here below,
Alike receive thy grace, D. God
In streams which freely flow.

To teach our youthful charge to fee
To Christ beyond the sky.

In rich abundance shed,
