one, "Come," and all shall do thy bidding.
1t shall bring thee homage fIom thy fellow
men.
Andthen in the boys ears sounded his
mothers words, Fear God rather than
man.. seek first the kingdom Of God"
Tbs boy became a man, yet began to pass
unheeded among men, for he had not gold.
His proud spirit conld not brook the worlds
neglect.N Toe pearl was offered him again.
Would he choose that, and walk obscurely,
or the other, and be rich and honored for
his crown Of gold?
lie forgot his mothers words, he forgot
the All-seeing Eye, he forgot the yearning
tenderness Of Him who became poor that we,
through his poverty, might be made rich
lie forgot it all and he took to his heart the
otler love! and SO subtle was It's nature,
that, unconsciously him, it supplanted all
other affections The desire for gold, that
he might command the homage of men, bum
ed deep in his heart. IL curroded and con-
stunned the memories of his early life and
the long grass, sodden with rain, over his
mo:hers's grave, wept the only tears which
were now shed there.
The earnest, tender light had faddcd from
his eyes-they were now cold and hard
and instead Of the open glance which had
oech tneiT wont, tDcy nad now a repellant,
suspicious gaze. His form was bent, teo,
and the brow furrowed and knit with care.
In the worn, repulsiVe man, you scarcely
recognized the frank and noble youth; for
those powers which might have given him a
high place in the intellectual world were
prostituted to the base, sordid use of money
getting. His heart was cankereaten
But he gained his ends. Gold freely, Law
ishly, flowed into his money-chests, and mer
-low-minded-bowed, but they reverencet
him not When those who had early loves
him, died, he lived unloving and unloved.-
For he had lost all geneSous impulses, am
he was now only a miser. Other men hat
treasures in the household he had non
but in his drawers and chests and bags. 9th
er men had treasures in friends; he had n
friends, and no treasures in any human hear
Other men had treasures in heaven, he ha
laid up none there, but hoarded them all 0
earth. He was offered the Pearl of Gre;
Price, but refused it. He was offered tn
Love of Gold, and accepted it. He cho'
for what he should live, and lived for it
And then he miserably died! The fir
spirit came to his bedside and wept; Il
other came also and Knocked. "What shall
profit a man if he gain the whole world, al
lose his own soulT"

their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,

its healthy v~italities. As a consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by a remedy at once SO
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below naHed is

Lalla Rookh.
I long 10 meet once more the gaze
OF thy soft, hazel eyes,
! fondly met In bye-goue days,
When al was bliss and sighs;
When 90 dcspairing thought oppressed
The happiness within my breast.
The dry Of sacred veal,
which lovers onten feel,
And which was lovely, calm and bright,
Secure, I thought, from sorrows night,
Did seeming then IN glory shine,
Upon this pilgrimage of mine.
I fanCird Life an Eden fair,
With nc tcmpcstuous cloud,
To lower ia the ambient air,
OR wrap with blackened shroud,
The glorics that did meet my eyes,
The ~splendors Of my Paradise.
Yes, then, ere we did part, l thought,
The years with happiness were fraught,
And earth and heaven did both combine,
To make the bliss Of earth divinel
Yet now they tell me that thou art
Forc'er estranged from me;
And that thy young and gentle heart
Which unto me did once impart
The vows of constancy:
Another claims with fond delight,
This heritage ofmine, by right;
And that thy peaceful. siren smile,
Which once to me was given,
And made of earth a heaven,
Was layishcd only to bdguile,
This unassuming heart of mine
Which truly bowed around thy shrine;
Or, like the false Aladdin, lure
With charms deceptive fair,
The soul from objects high and pure
And In his blood-stnincd arms immune
All hopes that clustered there.
It may be thus each plightcd vow,
Which should unite our Being now
Zach token OF affection true
Which l have OF received from you,
Might all have been a mere pretence,
A corpsclight o'or the tomb;
A sad delusion that from whence,
Nought real e'cr could come.
But / will not forget the Past,
Though wrecked my future be
within the Wild and simeon blast
or ragiug memory!
/ cannot think that thou hast proved
so rccreaAt to our carly love.
Oh ycs, | ycarn to meet the gaze,
ofthy bright beamlng eyes,
Whose lustrc once, could waken lays
or burning minstrelsy to praise,
Their light mid teprs and sighsi
Methinks l now could read thy heart
Within each rising beam,
And find the secret, that thou art
Yet faithful, rs the CLEAN
From yonder Sun that grows not old,
From watch Of years and days;
But ever Ills the mighty soul
or earth with dazzling rays;
