THE KISS in THE STREET.

The world is world of glorious themes,
The world is a world Of wonder;
A web and q tissue of beautiful dreams,
To be torn by the world asunder.
The world is an image of beauty.
TIL world is type of bliss
If the world would but do its duty
There would be no world like this.
walked in the street on a sunshiny day,
walked and watched the crowd,
The crowd thot Were looking so happy and gay
That they almost shouted aloud.
held by the hand my darling girl,
She skipped and she danced along,
And, childlike, laughed at the hum and the whir
OF the countless moving throng.
/ walked, and watched the myriad mass
That were sweeping idly by,
And it made me glad to see them pass
With smiling lip and laughing eye.
And so sang to myself a song,
A song on the happiest theme.
To the crowd that was slowly passing along,
Like the mythical forms in dream.
And so l sang as walked along,
Led by my baby guide,
And man came out of the midst of the throng,
Who walked by my darling's side.
Ae was pale and haggard and marked with woe
But his clothes they were rich and fine,
Anda diamond gleomed on his shirt of snow,
Which wished at the moment We're mne
He walked for awhile with downcast eye,
Then stopped with sudden bow,
And heard the moan of an inward sigh
AS he kissed my darling's brow.
In the crowded street we quietly stand,
While neither offered to stir
And he softly said, as he pressed my hand.
81 have lost child like her %
Then silently passed that haggard man
To the midst of the crowd again,
And the song had in my heart began
Was hushed in trob of pain.
1t is many year since that sunny day,
And my darling lives above
The song and all have passed away
But the memory of my love.

" CAN'T AFFORD IT."
i" Can't afford it, Maria"

"Can't afford it, Maria"
But you might if you would only
think so. Walter" pleaded the young
wife.
81 can't do it," the husband returned
very emphatically. I" 1t would cost ter
or twelve shillings at the very lowest
and the old bars will answer every pur.
pose"
I" No they won't, Walter. The neigh.
boris children very often leave the bars
down. and then stray cattle come into the
garden. We may lose more than the
price of a gate in one hour, if COW
should come in when I'm away"
81 should like to know who leaves the
bars down." said Walter, threateningly
The same children might leave a gate
OPEN"
But we can have gate made to close
Of its own accord, with a weight or a
spring." suggested the wife. John
Niles has had a gate put up in his yard
"But I ain't John Miles," Walter
wished his wife to remember.
But his family is as large as yours
and his wages are not SO high"
Never mind that. l tell you can
afford it-at any rate not at present"
And with this Walter started off for his
work.
Walter Gray was young man abou
thirty. an industrious mechanic, had
been married some eight years, and had
an interesting family. He meant to pro.
vide well for those who depended upon
him, and in measure he did so. Bu
there were many little comforts of which
he felt obliged TO deprive them-com
forts which at times they really needed
and which, in the end, might have
proved source of saving. And more,
too, it might have added to his own hap
piness had he felt able to grant these
little requests. But he couldn't afford
it; at least so he thought. and whether
he thought SO with sound judgment the
sequel will prove.
The gate which his wife had been so
anxious to have put up was needed at the
entrance to the garden back of the house
where there was only a pair of short
bars. The children often came through
there, and sometimes left the way open
behind them. In short there were MANY
ways in which those bars were apt 10 be
left down, and Maria Gray had very of.
ten to leave her work to drive out cattle
that had got in. II was only by extreme
watchfulncss on her part that the garden
was preserved. She had spoken severa
times to her husband about it. but he
felt that he couldn't afford it. She mus
keep her eyes upon the spot. and see
that the bars were kept shut.
Only few days after this. Mrs. Gray
asked his wife if he was going to hire 4
pew in the church for the following year
and he told her that he did not think he
should.
But you can hire half Of one. We
can have half Of Mr.. Niles pew for |,

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
rather does what is of more service to those SUBJ
ect to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the system as 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 Ague,
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
less the intermittent type. This "AGUE CURE
removes the of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it acoomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system !; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their accord. Hence arises what
we term 0ccimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough or il
sacrificed in the attempt. while this '' AeUE CURE
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is surer as well as safer
remedy Tor the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discoveries 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 large part of
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
IN the system, induced by the poisonous miasm Of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earhs sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts irritating
poison on the internal viscera 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
disordered 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 excretories 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 CEN
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expe the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the 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
art;dote.- fti4 s-il 49,
