Take A Newspaper.

Winter is coming with its long evenings and
cheerful iircsides. The bowling blasts, drifting
snow and other comcomtants in the region OF
the ice king, will suon shut up the attractions Of
the outer world and revive the endcarments Of
the domestic hearth. The family circle, that has
been broken by the deranging influence of the
business season, when toll and fatigue have court.
ed an early repose, will again be united, and a
season Of recreation for the intellectual and So
cial power will ensuc. The mind must have
food, with its amusements, or else it becomes
morbid and sensccss-and what never falling
fountain for its improvement is provided in the
family newspaper.
Among our earliest recolectons of delight is
mingled the arrival of the post-rider with his
weekly treasure. How our hearts beat Joy as

ing his approximate when the prize was drawn
from his well-storrcd saddle-bags, and thrown

scramble cnsucd among the juvenile POI ton o
the household for the news.
Times have changed since tho C days, ant
lightning, railroads, steamers, stages, &c, dis
tribute the news ihrough out the length and

In Il Lonely Cottage.

BY JOSEPHINE.
In lonely cottage I'd love to dwell
Aiar from trouble and strife,
Where in sccluslon and ease might lead
A calm and peaceful life.
The warblmg birds, OH how sweet they'd be
At the close OF the summer day;
I'd wander then by the lcaiy grove
And morrily weave my lay.
I'd wander far by the streamlet fir
Where bright rils murmur along,
And where the nightingale sweetly sings
AT ev'nipg her sweetest song.
There bv the dim old woods would stray
And spend there many on hour;
Meath the tall old oaks wou Id be my houe
Meath the waving leavc my bower.

Worm Syrup. From carly infancy my daugh-
ter a child now Is months, has been afflicted
with Worms, causing daily the most severe and
distressing pans. At times she would be al
frantic and unmanageable; would run up and
down the floor, and knock herself unconsciously
against the wall. For long time we were ig-
norant of the cause-at leugth being impress
sed with the bclieithat worms were the cause
we commenced giving several medicines for such
a complaint, from which the child dersvec no
benefit whatever. As a matter of course. the
child was much redc ced in flesh, and had all the
symptoms of such n complaint Accidentally
meeting with one Of your circulars, we were IN
duced to try your medicine. We had used it
but few days when great many worms were
brought from her, one full six inches in length,
o nd scores varying from one to four inches.
need scarcely add that the child was speedily
relieved, and that too before we had used one
% cent bottle of your Worm Syrup. She is
now entirely free from those distressing pains
and doing well. ! feel it would be unkindness
