The Story. Of Life.
BY JOHN ,a.sAxH.

Say, what is life a'Tis to be born;
A helpless BABE, to greet the light
With sharp wall as If the morn y
Foretold cloudy noon and night; ,r
10 weep, to sleep, and weep again. =
With sunny smiles between; and then
Aid then apace the infant grows
To be laughing, pulling boy,
Happy despite his little woes,
Were he Unconscious Of his 10y; 80 =
To be, short, from two to ten,
A merry, moody CHILD and then2
And then, in coat and trcwsers clad,
TO learn to say the Decaiogue, .,s'
And break it; an uhthihking LAB
With mirth and mischief all agog:
A truant oft by field and tea 49,
& 10 capture butterflies and then, II
And then, increased in strength aud size,
10 be, anon, YouTH full-grown!
a hero in his mothers eyes, -
A young Apollo in his own;& .:
To initiate the ways Of E:en r.. !.
In fashionable sins and then !
And then, at last, to be atMAN;a .a""
!; To fall in love to woo and wed; ....
With secthing brain to scheme and plan
10 gather gold, or toll tor bread !;
To sue for fame with tongue and pen. '8
And gain or lose the p'ize and thena -.
And tht n in gray and wrinkled ED
To mourn the speed Of Ines decline j;
To praise the scenes Els youth beheld,
And dwell in memory OF Lang Syne; "
To'dream awhile with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and then?

The WOVEN WISD.-One Of the most
characteristic manufactures Of India is the
line Ducca, or "Woven Wind, as it has
been called. So fine is this material that
when laid upon the grass to bleach the dew
makes it disappear. This used to be spun
by native females who had been trained to
It from infancy . q So nice was the sense Of
touch required for the spinning Of this yarn,
that they were constantly waited npon by i

MT. Waite and the VnIlanding-
ham DpmOcrncy

There was no difference between the friends
of Mr.. PHELPS and the friends of Mr.. WAITE in
the late Democratic Congressional Convention in
this District, in regard to principle. The only
point npon which il was divided was that of
nominaton Before that question came up and
while all the members were present, resolutions
were introduced and passed without single dis
seutiug vote, one of which endorsed in unquali-
fed terms the action of the State ValIandighsm
Convention of the 4th July last. Previous TO
the Convention explanations of WAIrE's po-
sition were made by the Bicde, which that jour
nal claimed were clear and explicit, and yet, in
the Judgment of large part OF that Convention
there was nothing in the political opinions of
Mr.. WAITE 10 prevent him from receiving the
support OF Nallandigham Democrats.
The earnest anti-slavery voters of the District
we apprehend, will not be very easily persuaded
to vote for a candidate who enjoys in so large
degree the favor aud confidence of their politi-
cal opponents, or to oppose a candidate who
has represented them faithfully and in regard TO
whoae position on the vital issue there is no
question. n.-IoledD Commercial.

become feeble and Frustrated, the Sherry Wine Bit
tcrs is your remedy, when every other fails These
bicrs will remain your friend in uillicton and re-
store you to health.
They are prepared by an educated phvsician.and
the merits are in the preparation Itself, and not in
newspaper pulling, on which Il great many medi-
cines are sold. The Sherry Wine Bitters are put
up in bottles holding pint at 7jc and can be re-
duced fully one half by water, and then be as

For many years the Sherry Wine Bit,ers have
been sold and held by the people in great cstima-
tion in tue New England States, and New England
people i'll the West generally know their value.
1t Is now about four since their first intro
duction into the Western States and in that short
time they have become KNOWN and APPRECIATED in
almost every town and village of the West; from
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and all the West
crn and North western States the demand il mn
precedented for any similar preparation. and when
once used IN Il family they become the standard
remedy, always kept On hand.
The Sherry Wine Bitters are used and recon-
mended by many OF the leading physicians in the
country, and all physicians who once test their mer
its pronounce them invaluable
-. As remedy against fever and ague they work
like a charm. We receive daily evidence Of their
good effects, 1t would scarcely be possible to de-
wise any Olttcrs, or even series of them which
could do so much good for mankind AS DR. Rich
arsons Sherry Wine Bitters. The benefit they
have distributed among the million can be traced
IN numb rless instances. They are certainly the
"BttcrS of our own times"
