SADNEss.-There is a mysterious feeling
that frequently passes like cloud over the
spirit. 1t comes upon the soul in the busy
hustle of life, in the social circle, in the
calm and silent retreat of solitude. It's
power is alike supreme over the weak and
the iron-hearted. At one time it is caused
by single thought across the mind Again,
a sound will come booming across the ocean
of memory, gloomy and solemn as the death
knell overshadowing all the bright hopes
and sunny feelings of the heart Who can
describe it, and who has not felt its bewi-
dering influence Still, it is a delicious
sort of sorrow, and like cloud dimming
the sunshine of the river, although casting
a momentary shade of gloom, it enhances
the beauty of returning brightness.-Ec
Nothing but indigestion. Take our word
for it, don't overload your stomach, and
you'll have no such indescribable waking
Nightmares.
