To BRIDE.-The following was written by
an old friend to young lady on the eve of her
wedding day;
l have sent You few flowers to adorn the
dying moments of your single life They are
the gentlest type of delicate and durable friend
ship They spring by our side when others have
deserted it and they will be found watching
over our graves when those who should cherish
have forgotten us 1t seems to me now that
past calm aud pure as yours, should expire
with kindred sweetness about it that flowers
and music, kind friends and earnest words, should
consecrate the hour when sentiment is passing
into sacrament
The three great stages of our being are the
birth, the bridal, and the burial. To the first We
bring only weakness-for the last we have moth
ing but dust But here at the altar, where life
joins life, the pair comes throbbng up to the
holy man, whispering the deep promise that arms
each others heart, to help on in the lie-strug2e
of care and duty. The beautiful will be there
borrowing new beauty from the scene The gay
and the frivolous, they aud their Hounces will
lool solemn for once. And youth will come to
gaze on all its sacred thoughts pant for and
age will totter up to hear the old words repeated
that to their own lives have given the charm
Some will weep over it as If il were a joke but
too must stand by it for its fate, not fun this
everlasting locking of their lives
Aud now, can you who have queencd IL over
so many bending forms. can you come down at
last to the frugal diet of u single heart? llith-
erto you have been clock giving your time to
all the world. Now you are watch, buried in
one particular BOSOM warming only his breast
marking only his hours, and ticking only to the
beat OF his heart--wheu time aud feeling shall
be in union, until the lower ties are lost in the
higher wedock where all hearts are united

Hoping that calm sunshine may hallow your
clasped hands, | sink silently into II signature.
A VALUABLE REMEDY.-The Boston CultiUator
says Every family should keep small guam
tity of chlorate of potash, (but with great care,
as it is one of the most explosive salts known,
burning with great heat Especial care should
be taken not to allow II to become mixed with
dust or charcoal or sulpher, and 1t should not be
exposed to friction.) We have never found any
equal to IL for an liberated sore throat Dissolve
u small teaspoonful of it in Il tumber of water;
and then occasionally take teaspoonfu of the
solution, as to gargle the throat. 1t Is nearly
tasteless and not at all offensive TO take hence
it is we'll adapted to children.
Nothing is be tier than this for ebapped or
cracked hands Wash them in weak solution,
and they will soon be we'll Ii Is also good for
u rough, pmply, or cbapped face. 1t may be
had at any druggists"
TO LEr.-There are moro things to let than
are pacarded. Hearts to let every day old
hearts, young hearts, stricken hearts--an empty
all to let. There are heads to let, to any new
thing, ism, ologies and lists heads without
tenant There are hends to let--handa plump
and fair, hands lean and brown those to love,
those to labor, those for rags and those for rings.
There consciences to let, elastic accommoda'
| ting consciences at five per cent month to let
on bond and mortgage, and pound OF liesh--
And 30 it goes from sods to souls almost every
thing with its price, everything In the market
but griefs. They are never quoted-never at
premium

youth and "A country girl who sat facing each

with the charms OF the beautiful maiden only
ventured on sly looks, and now and then touched
Betsy's foot under the table. The girl deter
mined to make the youth express what he APP
peared 50 warmly TO feel, bore with these ad
vances little while in silence, when she cried
out: :" Look here-if you love me why don't
you say so but don't dirty my stockings"
