INDIAN SUMMER OF LIFE In the life of
the good man there is an Indian summer more
beautiful than that of the season; richer, sun
nier and more sublime than the most glorious
Indian summer which the world ever knew
1t is the Indian summer of the SOUL When
the glow Of youth has departed, when the
warmth of middle age is gone, and the buds
and blossoms of spring are changing to the
sere and yellow leaf, then the mind of the
good man, still ripe and vigorous, relaxes its
labors, and the memories of well spent life
gush forth from their secret fountains, enrich
ing, rejoicing and fertilizing then the trust
full resignation of the Christian sheds around a
sweet and holy warmth, and the soul, assum-
ing heavenly lusire, is no longer restricted
TO the narrow confines of business, but scars
far beyond the winter of hoayy age, and dwells
peacefully and happily upon that bright spring
and summer which await him within the gates
of Paradise, evermore. Let US strive for and
look trustingly forward to an Indian summer
like this

TO FRIEND IN AFFLlctioS
Watcher It's dark. and the dwelling is lonely.
The night lamp shines dimly, and 50 does
thine eye;
Thou art thinking thy portion is wearisome only,
And thou WITT be glad when It's thy turn to
diet
Watcher, look out where the day star is dawn
ing
Hope in'thy heart let its promise awake.
And tirelcss and slumberless, await for the
morning :"
Never night but its morAing shall break.
Watcher! It's dark, and the tempest is roaring
Roaring above thee. and rafting around
Demons of terror their vials are pouring
Right on thy pathway, where pitfalls abound
Watcher. it's better to bow than to bide it
Harmlessy DER thee the storm-king shall
ride!
Deep is the chasm, twcre death to bsstrlde It,
But yon is the valley both sloping and wide
Watcher It's dark. for the angel Of sorrow
Hath spread DER thy landscape the gloom OF
his wing;
No hue from the rainbow thy sadness can
borrow,
No joy to thy bosom the. spring time can
bring,
weeper, despair not there is that can cure
thee
Yes--even 10 the heart-sick balm can be
given.
A draught that shall comfort and gladness in
sure thee;
Drink deepIy-drink oft, for the fount is in
heaven.
Oh. yc who are suffering, and toiling and sigh
ing;
Vi Oh, ye who in darkness are CROPPING your way;
Who are weary of hoping and weary of trying,
Who are sure that the midnight will never
be day;
I charge you take heed of this counsel and
warning,
Stand fast by your duty, your God, and your
right
And patient and truthful thus wait for the
morning,
Assured it will bring you both healing and
light.

To Cure a Cold.

bad cold, like measles or humps, or other

unless remedial means are employed within
fo.tyeieh, hours Of its inception. Many use
fol life may be spared 10 be increasingly use
full, by cutting a cold short off, in the following
safe and simple manner: On the first day of
taking cold, there is very unpleasant sensa-
ton Of chlliness. The momenr you observe
this, go TO your room and stag there: keep it at
such temperature as will entirely prevent
this chilly feeling, even lift requires hundred
degrees of Fahrenheit. In addition, put your
feet in water half leg deep, as hot as you can
bear it, adding hotter water from time to time
for a quarter Of an hour, SO that the water
shall be hotter when you take your feet out
than whea you put them in; then dry them
thoroughly, and put on warm, thick, wooden
stockins, even if ii be summer, for summer
colds are the most dangerous aud for twenty
four hours, eat not an atom Of food but drink
as largely as you desire of any kind of warm
teas, and at the end of that time, if not sooner,
the cold will be eifectualy broken, without any
medicine whatever.
Efficient as the above means are, not one in
thousand will attend TO them, led on as men
are by he hope that cold will pass off of il
self; nevertheless this Article will now and then
pass under the eye of wise man, who does
not choose 10 run the double risk of taking
physic and dying too.
