Twas pleasant picture memory i
Painted tonight to me,
As in the dreamy twilight
p sat, lost in veverie.
It was Of a gentle maiden.
With blue eyes, and waving hair,
Sitting low beside easement,
In summer evening fair.
At her feet reclined another,
Scarcely yet more than child,
With flowing raven tresses,
And eyes large, and dark, and wild.
Hand in hand they sat together.
In the cool and quiet night;
And the moon smiled down upon them.
With food Of silver light.
Do you know, oh friend, that picture!
Could you tell me what they said
Did they speak Of Past or Future,
OF the living or the dead!
DId they speak OF manhood's daring,
Warriors might, or statesman's cares;
Or Of woman's patient waiting
Her love, and tears, and payers?
Years have flown since child and maiden
Sat and talked that summers night;
Yet know, oh friend, thy memory
KEEPS, as mine, the picture bright.
And that at the hour Of twilight,
As you sit in reverie,
Oft she brings it bright before y,u-
As mine, tonight, to mo.

He heard moan-a voice-a low
sweet voice of woman. He listened.
The words he could not distinguish, but
the tones fell thrillingly upon his ear.
as remembered voice Of long ago.
Was it reality' Was il not dream,
and would he not awake from tito re-
jeice that he had heard. even in dreams,
that tone that was swceter than music!
The same that he had loved in boyhood,
sllghted and disregarded. and still loved
IN youth and that had haunted him ever,
falling upon him from the murmur Of
waters, and from out the sighing wind
and now it came TO him from the death
bed OF his idolized son! Should he en-

THE BY-AND-BY.
BY MABEL sT. CLAIR.

Just little before is The Emerald shore
'Gainst which deaths waters lave;
A little bark will carry us DER
What matter it then if the wave
Dash mountain high and the surges roar
Our Pilot is strong and brave.
There are pastures green 'no eye hath SEEM
And streams that never dry;
And purple hills with no shadows between,
f In the land Of the "by-and-by."
Oh we never, never will tire, ween,
Orthat beautiful "by-and-by."
And we there shall see why it needs must be,
That, our fondest hopes must die;
Oh. help us to bow to Thy wise decree
And wait for the ''by -and-by;"
Wait hopefully. patiently. chee;fullY,
io For the beautiful "by-and-by.''
Once long ago, when the sunsets glow
Was flooding the western sky,
aa My foolish heart cried out to knew
If the land of.he s.by -and-by''
Would be half so bright as that sunset glow;
But gave it no reply.
Oh! foolish thought, did no vision fraught
rs With fairer than mortal dye
-diu Shame that picture into naught,
i.. To think that the sunset sky
Could be HALF SO bright to our eyes untaught
As hereafter the .'by y-and-by?"
From the voiceless grave and the death cold wave
haa You shrink back--so do l.; r4m
2 But when those pillows our barque shall lave
y. And moor them beyond the sky,
an5 OH the glory and peace we tn IN shall have,
Wen know in the 'sby-and-by."

GuoD ADvIcE.-Dr. Bentrtt, professor OF
some celebrity, considers the tomato an in
valuable article OF diet, and ascribes to it
various important medicinal qualities First,
that the tomato is one of the most powerful
aperients of the liver and other organs; where
calomel is indicated, it is probably one of the
most effective and least harmful remedial
agents known to the profession. Second,
that chemical extract will be obtained from
it that will supercede the use of calomel in
the cure of disease. Third, that he has
successfully treated diarrhea with this afti-
Gle alone. Fourth, that when used as an
article of diet, it is ali almost sovereign re-
medy for dyspepsia and indigestion. Fifth,
that it should be constantly used for daily
food, either cooked or raw, or in the form OF
catsup. 1t is the most healthy article now
in use.
The hydraulic press., 1860-10-27

FREcKLEs.-Mrs. Hale says, to remove
freckfes from the face, shoulders and arms,
take one drachm of muriatic acid, half a
pint of rain water, half a teaspoonfnl of la
vender, mix well together, and apply two or
three times a day to the freckles with ca
mel's hair brush. The acid seizes upon the
iron, and the oxygen is disengaged. Most of
Us have observed (says Mrs. Hale) the effect
to the fire; it changes rapidly from white to
brown, and becomes seoFched. Chemists
tell US that most combassible things, both
in the animal and vegetable world, have
carbon for their basis-so has the skin-and
If it be exposed to heat, it becomes like them
spotted or charred. The iron and oxygen in
the blood also assist to produce this effect.
Thus we have the cause of freckles.

The angels have carried our gem to the skies.
Sadly and moasnfully walk to and fro,
Cover the statue-face, whittier than snow,
Lower the cofia beneath the damp sod,
Leave the sweet lamb with its Shepherd and God,
Oh, the lone hea1th>stone--no gladness is there
Meekly the wounded hearts mingle in prayer;
All, the sad void and the scalding tears shed.
Life has no pleasures, for baby is dead!
Lock up the garments, and put up the cribs
The odd little teaspoon, the dainty tin cup
Rattle-box, waxenldoll-pnt them all up!
Plant fragrant flowers, and dewy tears shed
Over its grave, for the baby IS dead!
