A Sunset Reyerie.

1t was summer sunset The brilliant rays Of
the receding day-god shed joyful light Ger the
surrounding village and the distant forest. then
slowly disappeared among the many coored clouds.
There is always something solemn to me in sun
set; it is the dying hour of another day; another
day Of our short life is gone forever, and the re-
cording angel has another page of our history
ready for the great I" book of remembrancen II

we must bid adieu to all we so love in this beaut;-
iu' world ana enter eternity. 1t was just the sea-
son Tor meditation and dreamy reverie At such
an hour the scenes of youth crowd wildly upon our
memory. mused of friends who once gladdened
my pathway, but who were now far distant or gone
to their silent rest of the many changes time had
wrought In my few years of life, then from the OBJ
servatory of Imagination surveyed the future
FIRST viewing it through the telescope of Fancy it
resembled the golden dream of the AIchemist

and fadeless. traced the path to fame it seemed
smooth and easy, no obstacle interviewed, and bright
beings with laurels wreathing their brows, beck

and life full of hope and pleasure. / looked on
this picture with delight, and then endeavored to
view the same scenes through those channels which
make life reality. How marked the difference it
presented to my eye. 1 perused the volume of
human nature, and some whom Fancy told me we're
my friends proved enemies, clothed in the fairy
garb OF deciet, possessed of cold and selfish hearts
In the road to fame were many obstacles; the hill
OF science looked steep and difficult of ascent.
Ignorance stood at the base to lure with her fasci

and BY her side stood Pleasure pleading with per-
snasire voice for his sister Ignorance Some easily
discouraged retraced their steps, gave Ignorance
their hand and were content to abide in the obscure
vale where she leads her votaries. Some more
persevering struggled on and at last reached the
temple of fame, and inscribed their names on the
tablet whereon are written the names of those
whom the world delights to honor. Yet they were
not happy. Care sat with cankering power at their
hearts, and the laurels of fame dropped languidly
from their brows they looking still farther in
the future for happiness. was troubled But
inst then Hope whispered in cheering tones, there

there is joy immortal and enduring, there is rest

the future of the good beyond the grave, and it

PLAYING IN THE PUDDLEs.-On the
birth day of Napoleon Charles, son Of
Louis Napoleon and Hortense, and a
child whom the Emperor Napoleon
meant to make his heir, he and his
mother were seated at window in the
palace which opened on the grand ave-
nue.. A heavy shower had fallen, and
the avenue was full of pools of water.
A group of barefooted children were
out there wading in the water and
playing with little chip boats. The
young Prince, richly dressed,in splen-
did hall, and surrounded by his elegant
and costly birthday presents, turned
carelessly away from his toys, and
watched the children with eager inter
est.
$50 then, my son." said his mother
"you are not grateful for your pres
ents."
Oh, yes" replied the young Prince,
" but l am so used to toys. Look at
those little boys mamma"
"Do you wish for money to give to
them?'
"Papa gave me enough this morn
ing"
Well, what ails you. my child
What do you want ?"
Oh" said the young Prince, hest
tatingly know you will not let me,
but IT could go out and play in those
beautiful puddles, it would amuse me a
hundred times more than all my elegant
presents"
So, you see, real enjoyments are not
always the most costly; and that the
children of the poor may have pleas
ures which the children of the rich are
debarred from.-Anaerican MESSENGER.

Ayers Ague Cure.

which neutralizcs this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. AS it should, it does care this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those SUBJ
jcct to this Infection If taken in season it expcls
it from the system it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease
Consequently it not only cures, but protects FROM
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Aouc.
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the Intermittent type. This "AGUE CURE"
removes the cause of these arrangements and cures
the disease.
This it accompishcs by stimulating the cxcre-
tories to expel tue virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their accord. Hence arises what
VIC term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AGUE CURE"
docs it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic Infection than any other
which has been discovered and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is. that
it is cheap as well as good

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part of
.ne giooe, Is the consequence of diseased action
IN the systems induced by the poisonous miasrn of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved bv
the action of solar heat on wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it.. While the sun is below
the horizon this yapor fingers near the carths sur
race, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal vscera and excreting organs
OF the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
IN the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tIonal disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordcred also. Finally, the instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious,
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body
IN the internal excrctories to force them to cast It
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence This
IS the CHILL But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the con.
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat sie hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGuE.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under.
mine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find. and have found, an
antidote
