BEAUTIFUL ExrnAc1;Fs.-M When the sum-
mer day of youth is slowly wasting away into
the nighHall of age, and the shadows of the
past years grow deeper and deeper, as life
wears to close, it is pleasant to look back
through the vista of time, upon the sorrows
and felicities of our earlier years. five have
home to shelter and hearts to rejoice with
us, audfriends have been gathering together
around our firesides, then the rough places of
our wayfaring will be worn. and smoothed'
away, in the twilight of life, while the sunny

they whose intercourse with the. world has
not changed the tone of their hoIier feelings,
or broken those musical chords Of the heart,
whose vibrations are SO melodious, so tender
and touching in the evening of age

keeper, who is on the verge of death, has
published secret cure for hydrophobia,
which he says he has used with success for
fifty years, saving many men and animals from
horrible Death Tho wound must be bathed
as soon as possible with warm vinegar, and
when this is dried, a few drops of muriatic
acid poured upon the wound will destroy the
poison of the saliva and relieve the patient
from danger. This cure appears in the Leip-
sic Journal: and wo' give it as we find it.

YEARS TROUBLES. s.-SometiniSs com
pare the troubles we have to undergo in tho
course of year to great bundle of fagots
far too large for US to lift. But God does
not require US to carry the whole at once
He mercifully unties the bundles and gives
us first one stick, which We are able to carry
to-day, and then another, which We are able
to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might
easily manage, if we would only take the bur
den appointed for us each day; but We choose
to increase our troubles by carrying yester-
days trouble over again to, day and adding
to-morrow's burden to our load before we are
required to bear it.-John Ne6ton.
Patience and perseverance conquers all
things.
