Why does that shade Of sadness2

For the Spirit OF the age.
Why does that shade Of Sadness
by II. N. SNYDER.
Why does that shade Of sadness
Rest upon thy features nowr
Where is the smile Of gladness
That once lit up thy brow
DARK thoughts too early hover
Around life's golden dream J
Too soon thou dost discover
Hearts arc not what they seem
Yet let no shade of sadness
Rest on thy features now
But wear II smile Of gladpess
Upon thy youthful brow
] cannot see %unheeding
The happy look depart
For when thy bosom's bleeding
NY own must feel the smart.
But still, in Loves dominion,
Thy soul may taste delight
Hope battles the waving plnion
OF time in radiance bright.
Then let no shade of sadness
Rest on thy features now
But wear n smile Of gladness
Upon thy youthful brow!
In gloom my heart is shrouded,
When its controlling star,
Is for u moment clOuded,
And CLEANS not from afar.
My bosom hath ne power
To stay the starting tears,
When on my favorite flower
The touch Of blight appears.
o let no shade Of sadness
Rest On thy features now!
But wear q smile Of gladness
Upon thy youthful brow I!

Organic Weakness

Immediately cured, and full vigor restored.
This disease is the penalty most frequently paid
by those who have become the victims of improp-
er indulgences. Young persons are too apt to
commit excuses from not being aware of the dread
full consequences that may ensue. Now, who that
understands the subject will pretend to deny that
the power of Procreation is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits by the prudent. Be
sides being deprived the pleasure of healthy Of
spring, the most serious and dest uctive symptoms
to both body and mind arise. The system becomes
deranged, the physical and mental powers weaken
ed, nervous debility, dyspepsia, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, a wasting Of the frame, cough,
