THE STREAM OF DEATH.


THERE'S stream whose narrow tide
The known and unknown worlds divide
Where all must go;
Its wayeless waters, dark and deep,
Mid sullen silence downward sweep,
With moanless flow.
/ saw where, at that dreary food,
A smiling infant pratling stood,
Whose hour had come:
Untaught of i'll, it neared the tide,
Sunk as to Graded rest, and died
Like going home.
Followed with languid eye, anon,
A youth diseased, and pale, and wan;
And there alone,
He gazed upon the leaden stream,
And feared to plunge-I hear! q scream,
And he was gone.
And then form in manhood's strength,
Came busting on, till there, at length,
He saw life's bound,
He shrunk and raised the bitter prayer
Too latel-his shrek of wild despair,
The waters drowned.
Next stood upon that surgeless shore
A being bowed with many q score
OF toilsome years.
11aEIn-pouuu anu eau nc ieA1 'he o@HA,
Back turned his dimming eye and sank
All, full of fears.
How bitter must thy waters be,
Death! How hard thing, ah, me,
1t is to die,-
l mused-when to that stream again
Another child of mortal men
With smiles drew nigh
'"Tis the last pang," he calmly said:
'"To me. o Death, though hast no dread;
Savior comet
Spread but thine arm on yonder shore
see! We waters bear me Ger!
There is my home!"

Philosophy Of Farnsing.-Here is the secret
of good farming. You cannot take from the
land more than you restore to it in some shape
or other, without running it, and so destroying
your capital. Different soils may require differ
ent modes of treatment and cropping, but in ev-
cry variety of soil are the golden rules to attend
to. Drain until you find that the water that
falls from heaven does not stagnate in the soil,
bet runs through it and off it freely. Turn up
and till land until your foot sinks into loose,
powdery loan, that the sun and air readily pass
through. Let no weed occupy the place where
a useful plant could grow. Collect every particle
of manure thatyou can, whether liquid or solid.
Let nothing on the farm waste. Put in your
crops in that course which experience has shown
to lead to success in their growth, and to an en-
richment and not impoverishment of the land.
Give every plant room to spread its roots in the
soil.----Americdn Agriculturist.

young be supplied with well chosen, instructive
reading matter, every week, and attention be
given to the surrounding scenery, according to
the common idea of all ages, and God will bless
the bowers and smile on those who dwell happi-
ly among them, and age will renew
its youthful joys, and the rose and myrtle will
beautify each other, and love and hope and joy
shall be there; while birds shall sing in the
spring time, cooling and refreshing shade be
felt in summers sultry day, golden harvest
be gathered in autumn, and happy group and
a bountiful board within and the merry bells
without win cheer up the wintry day, and the
good old song of "Home sweet home," shall
MARBLE with melting melody.

MANY wears of trial. instead of impairing the
INf public confidence in this medicine, has won for
it an appreciation and notoriety by far exceeding the
most sanguine expectations of its friends. Nothing
but its intrinsic virtues and the unmstakabe benefit
conferred thousands of sufferers, could originate

inferior remedies thrust upon the community, have
failed and been discarded this has gained friends by
every trial, conferred benefits the afflicted they
can never forget, and produced cures too numerous
and too remarkable to be forgotten.
While it is fraud on the public to pretend that
any medicine will infalliby eure-still there is
abundant proof that the CHERRY PICTORIAL does not
only as general thing but almost invariably cure
the malladies for which it is Employed.
As time makes these facts wider and better known,
this medicine has gradually become the best reliance
