We have seen persons who have suffered in
describable pain with rheumatism for years.
who have been entirely relieved from pain in a
few moments. BY The use of afew bottles, and
in an incredibly short time, they have been per-
manently cured and restored to their families and
to the community. Sores, bruises, sprains, &C.,
have been treated with the same success; and
thousands more will be relieved because they
know the remedy. See advertisement in another

l am all alone III my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near;
And the faggot's crack, and the clocks dul
tick,
Are the only sounds hear;
And over my soul in its solitude
Sweet feelings of sadness glide,
For my heart and my eyes are full when think
OF the little boy that died.
l went one night to my fathers house
Went home to the dear ones all
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall
My mother came out to meet her SON
She kissed ne, and then she sighed;
And her head fell on my neck. and she went
For the little boy that died.
I shall miss him when the flowers come.
In the garden where he played;
shall miss him more by the fre-side,
When the flowers have decayed.
| shall see his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse be used to ride;
And they will speak with silent speech
Of the little boy that died.
We shall go home to our Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope OF our souls shall have no
blight, ~
Our love no broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the river of
peace,
And bathe in its blissful tide,
IND one of our joys of the heaven shall be
The little boy thstdied.

A Story with a Moral.

When Charles the Second char
tered the the Royal Society, it is
narrated of him that he was disposed
to give the philosophers 3 royal, but
at the same time a wholesome lee
ture.
'Why is it, my lords and gentle
men, that if you fill a vessel with
water 10 the very brim, 50 that it
will not hold single drop more, yet,
putting a turbot Into the water it
shall not overflow the vessel?'
Many were the sage conjcctures-
that the fish would drink as much
water as compensated for his own
bulk = that he condensed to that
amount-that the cir blsdder had
something to do with the phenomena
and a hundred others, which were
made and abandoned in their turn,
much to the amusement Of the 'mer-
ry monarch At length, Mr.. Wren
afterwards Sir Christopher modest
iy asked:
But is your majesty sure that
such would be the case:?'
'Aye, there exclaimed his majes-
ty, laughing, you have it: always,
gentlemen, find out whether the
thing be true before you proceed
to account for it; then / shall not
be ashamed Of the charter / have
given you.'

Think Of Theein the BalmV Spring.

think of thee in the baImy spring,
When sweetest flowers bloom,
And nature wears a lively hue,
Unlike her autumn gloom;
When the blue skies look soft and fair,
With sunshine all the while,
And al the glad and joyous earth
Seems with delight to smile.
Pll think of thee in the summer days,
Where by the running brook,
We read the language of the flowers.
AS from an open book;
W hen the ripping streams with sherspeed
Flow on with sweeter strains;
And all the air the wiad-harp strings,
bird-like tone attains.
I'll think of thee in the autumn time,
When sadness and decay
Steal DER the placid face of earth,
And the flowers fade away;
When skies grow pale, and forest leaves
Droop languishlng and low,
And the streams, with mournful dirge,
10 sadder music flow.
I'll think of thee in the winter shades,
When earth aud sky grow cold,
And nature of her verdure reft,
Seems barren, bleak and old,
When ice-bound streams forget to flow.
And little birds to sing
Their voices hnshed in silence long.
To greet the coming spring.
Pll think of thee in the quiet night.
When moon and stars above
Shine out of their eternal spheres,
Like sentinels of love;
When thy spirits freed from earth,
On seraph wings to rise,
Then by faith will behold
Thy beauty in the skies.
