The Book.
BY FREDERICK S. cozZENs.

lent my love book one day
She brought it back, laid itby;
Twas little either had to say,
She was SO strange and 50 shy.
But yet we loved Indifferent things
The spIouting buds the birds in tune;
And time stood still, and wreathed his wings
With rosy links from June to June.
For her, what task to dare or do!
What peril tempt? what hardship bearS
But with it all, she never knew
Ny heart, and what was hidden therel
Ard she with me, so cold and coy,
Seemed ike maid berett Of sense;
But III a crowd all lite aud joy,
Aud iull oi bushing impudence.
She married! well, a woman needs
A mate, her life and love to Oh e.
And little cares sprung up ike weeds,
Aud played around her elbow chair,
And years rolled by; but |, content,
Trimmed my own lamp and keptlt bright,
Till ages touch my hair besprent,
With rays and CLEANS Of silver light.
And then it chanced took the book
Which she had read in days gone by,
And as read, such passion shook
Ny frame | needs must frOwn or cry.
For here and there her love was writ
In old half faded pencil signs,
As she yielded, bit by bit,
Her heart, in dots and underlines,
All, silvered fool too late you look
know it; let me here record
This maxim; lend no maid a book,
UnleJs you read it atlerward.

GA, Of Cooperstown, New York, was for the
period Of nineteen years complete misery
to himself, and . burden to his friends, he
suffered so severely and continuously from
liver complaint, and disorQered stomach,
that he was constantly for weeks together
confined to his bed, the doctors did him no
good, and he therefore left off consulting
them. Nine weeks ago he commenced using
Holloway's Pills, and his wife called last
week at the store Of Professor Holloway, to
acknowledge most gratefully that her hus-
band is quite cured. Professor Holloway hopes
that the thousand others Ia the Union who
have been benefited will now come forward.
