What will become of us, my poor children p
I'd hung on to Mr.. Minors getting back, he
was so kind TO your father before he died but
my last hope is gone now. l could have
earned the money if it hadn't been for this
sickness, brought on by steady sewing, but to-
morrow we must go into the street." She
said the words with great tears slowly chasing
themselves down her pale checks.
Don't cry, mother, earned a shilling this
afternoon selling papers, and bought you and
Mary each nice orange, interposed the boy,
trying to speak in bright hopeful voice
And now small hand was thrust out for
the fruit, and little voice said earnestly, oh
mother, don't let US feel bad now we've got
the oranges.
At that moment there was a loud rap at the
chamber door. which startled the little family,
but Harry was not long in ushering into the
room an old gentleman, who inquired if Mrs.
Carpenter resided there.
His glance took in the room and its three
occupants, and after taking the seat that Har-
ry brought him, he said ~ am Squire Dun
ham, and | called here TO say, Mrs. Carpenter,
that | would not press the matter about the
rent; that ii you could not meet it you might
stay here, and l would not trouble you"
A fash of Joy went over the three faces,
but the mother broke down with a sob. "Oh,
sir, God in Heaven bless you for this y and
they were the sweetest words Stephen Durham
had heard for many day.
But before he could answer. his gaze was
attracted to u small, wistful, upturned face in
the corner, and its sweet, blue eyes, and the
golden CLEAN in its brown hair, were like
that face which shone away off in the morn
ing of his boyhood - the face of his sister
Hetty.
As his gaze met the little girls, she rose up
and came towards him. "You won't send
mama and Harry and me into the street, will
you ?' she said in her sweet, pleasing way
"cause we can't live there where the wind
blows and the rain comes and the great car
riages will GO over US; and mama is sick, and
i am little girl, you know, and Harry isn't
big enough to do anything but sell papers.
MY child, said he, you shall never 20 into
the street, and his voice was not quite steady,
and there was a STANCE moisture about his
eyes. He took the little girl upon his knee,
and she nestled her bright young head upon
his shoulder, chattering away to him, and
thinking what good kind man Squire Dun
ham was
Many kind words and promises cheered
them, for that little head nestled softly against
his heart, and warmed and gladdened it; and
before he left, Squire Durham bent down and
kissed the little girl, and left two ten dollar
gold pieces in her chubby hand He went
home that night happier man than he had
been Tor years, sure that three hearts beat
lighter because he was in the world.
Aud the lesson that Stephen Durham
learned that night going home in the cars
took deep root in his heart, and brought forth
much fruit.

POETRY.
Beyond the River.

There is river deep and wide,
And while .ong ITS banks we stray
We see oar loved ones on IFS tide,
Sail from orr sight away.
Where are they Sped, they who return
Ma more 10 glad our longing eyes,
They've uassed form lites, contracted bOurn
Beyoud the river.
IT'S bid from view but we may guess,
How beautiful that realm must be,
For gleanings OF its loveliness,
In yisi ms granted Oft wc see
The very clouds that IRE il throw
Their veil appraised for mortal sight
With glad and purple tinging glow,
Reflected from the giOrioas light,
Beyomdthe river.
And gentle air so sweet and calm,
Steals someti mes through the viewless sphere.
The monrner feels their breath OF balm,
And s0othed sorrow dries the tear
And sometimes listening ears may gain,
Sweet melody that hither floats
The echo of distant strain,
OF harps and voices blended notes,
Beyond the river.
Thore are our loved ones in their rest,
THEY'VE crossed Times rieer-now no more,
They heed the baubles on its breast,
Nor feel the storms that sweep MS shofe'
But their pure love can live, can iast,
The, look for rs their home 20 shaie;
When we at last in inrn have passed.
What JOYFUL greetings wait us there,
Beyond the river.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out from general use should
have their efficacy established by well tested expe-
rience in the hands of a regularly educated phys-
clan, whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill; yet the country is flooded with
best in the world, which are not only useless but al.
ways injurious. The unfortunate should be PARTIo-
ULAR in selecting his physician ii is lamentable
yet incontrovertabe fact that many syphilitic pa
tients made miserable with ruined constitutions
by maltreatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice; for IL is point generally conceded
by the best syphiographers, that the study and
agement of these complaints should engross the
whole time of those who would be competent and
successful in their treatment and cure. The mex
perenced general practitioner, having neither op-
portunity time to make himself acquainted with
their pathology, commonly pusrues one system Of
treatment, in most cases making indiscriminate
use of that antiquated and dangerous weapon, Mer.
