By-and-Hy.

Somewhere, down the stream of Time
on which we are floating, is beautiful
island, called by -and-by. 1t may be just
before us, beyond the next turn of the
river; or we may not find it until the
stream disembogues into the ocean OF
eternity. But we all look for it, from
infancy to old age, and dream that all
evil will be banished, when we arrive at
that beautiful island-By -andBy.
All day we float down the turbulent
stream: the blue cover Of heaven burns
above us, the unfathomble depths yawn
beneath US; the mysteries Of God and i'm
mortality stream in upon US with their
awful splendors, and truths that have
COMPOUNDED the loftiest intelects-truths
that in all ages have reused up the soul
from its foundations, baptized it with
reverence, and kindled it into love, en-
viron us with their intensity, and all
thoughts Of the island are banished from
the mind. But when the solemn gray of
the twilight falls around our bark, in
fancy we see its magical shores, green
with trees of beauty; fitting before us like
star over the dewy shadows of years,
and our beings all return to wander on
its fairy banks, and listen to the silvery
voices of its inhabitants. And as the
ROSY flush of the day fades in the West,
aud the watch-stars open one after anoth-
er their holy eyes we go to rest in the
happy belief that the morning sunrise
will Gid the immortal land full in ouI
vision; this cline we have sought so long
and so vainly, and whittier have fled al
the last summers Of our youth which w
besought with tears to stay.
A land of promise is that by-and-by.-
In it we have all rich possessions, the an
ticipated enjoyment of which alone rem
ders life tolerable. The past has proven
weary way; the present is full Of thorn
and beset with dangers, but in the golde
by-and by there is recompense for al
There the broken heart shall be healde
and the weary spirit find rest. VIII
would sell his birthright in this land ?
Though poverty, gloom and desolatio
environ us here, and we have wealth an
loving friends in that fair cline.
How eagerly we look for that island
Tit were laid down on any chart, n
matter how distant, SO that we knew
would barely come, we should be Statistic
in the prospect. But no Ariadne come
to reveal its labyrinthne secrets, and "
must rest content in its anticipation an
possess it only in our dreams. Pile Coma'

The testimonials be low given. prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE than the subscriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES OR ABILITY, he would add that he has abundant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no oth- er office of the kind are the charges for profess sional services so moderate. The immense prac- tiCe of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate vast collection of specifications and official decisions relative to patents. These, besides lis extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and En- rope, render him ablc beyond question, to of fer superior facilities for obtaining patents. All necessity of a journey to Washington, to procure patent; and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.
