How will Messiah come?


Oh! sad as the green of the cypress in Eden,
And lovely as dews on the toilet flowers
bloom;
And pure as the moon DER the deep blues OF
ocean,
Shall spirits sing nightly the psalms of the
tomb!
Shall chant as the birds that make holy the
wild wood,
In angels soft jubilee and hymn's choral
glee;
childhood,
Shall night dim the green smile of far Cali
lee
And Prophecy seal the long cycle of ages,
That chained the vast periods of Destiny's
year; :.
And Vision sink down in the pile of his
pages
That lined out his story with Prophecy IS
tear
And morn from the deep shall in sunbeam
assemble,
The glories of judgment the spoils of the
tomb;
Messiah shall ride on the thunder's low rum
bic,
And wheel the dark day into abyss and
gloom!
And starlight the robe of his armies and Ic-
gions;
And beauty and JOY are the lights of his
Oh far where the day loves the sun-trodden
regions
Oh! far where the night loves the beautiful
moon!
OH far where the songs of the green-laden
waters,
Watt beauty and smile from the palms hap
All sweeter than sorrow to Ruins lovely
daughters,
Shall dreams seek the tears of our childhood
no more!
And the eyes that we loved shall give beau
ty and pleasure;
And their rundown rose give our ashes
perfume;
And the songs Of their joy, and their robes
laden treasure,
Shall lead us IN light from the paths of the
tomb
Oh sweet as the promise of Hopes happy
story,
And clearer than light in immortal array,
Shall Virtue ascend on the clouds ofhis glory,
And shine, where his sun dims the regions
OF day!
He shall come on the chariot of winds madly
driven,
From lights free abode, and the home of the
breeze;
And storm, and battle, and armies mid-heaven,
Shall camp DER the day-plane of Earth's
troubled seas!
Ger the abyss where day sinks in mant'ling
sunlight.
The throne of his dynasty burns the long
day
The fountain where peace seeks the orient
twilight,
Flows light on the odours of Life's sunny
stray
OH know ye sad winds and the coral,piled
waters,
Ye stars and fixed sun Of the primary reign I!
o moon! thou the purest Of Earth's parent
daughters,
Know ye his kingdom! know We of his name?
'Tis Messiah whose train copies the far verge
OF heaven,
Where Lights tyrant reign fills the cham
pion ofday!
On the shafts of the squall-storm rapidly
driven,
His armies pile off into judgments array!

Effects Of Paarlash.

If our friends can in any way teach
their wives, daughters, or cooks, to keep
the pcarlish out OF their bread, ali the
yellow people, especially the yellow child
iren, who are supposed TO be turned yel-
low by the lever and agueand bilious ievers,
will soon De turned white. 1t is a great
mistake to suppose that the yellow coun-
teneDees of the West come from bile.
when It Is the enormous quantity of pear
oh eaten in the bread that is reflected
through the skin. Bread is The staff of
life, it is said-and so It is-but it is the
staff Of death too in this country. BAD
bread kills about as many people here as
bad rum. So Sany people eat poisonous
pearlash fer bread that they die by in-
ches. Dyspepsie, that great monster dis
ease of the country. that deragges The Il
yer, brings on costi.eaess, and thus final
ly kills the human yictin, is half the time
''peariash." Here in The East-out of
New England-we have driven off the
pearlash salcoratus cooks, but not alto
gether. Pearlash lives here yet IN bread,
but in cities and towns We have nearly
whipped out the murderers In the dis
tsnt Western towns, leyoEd ;hc good ho-
tells OF the lakes and rivers, reaflash, un-
der the name Of salerants, is king 1t
is not any wonder then, that the people
Of the East ,urn yellow West, and sicken,
not of fever and asue, bilious and con-
sestive ievers, but of pearlash three tines

Bantizing a Sinner.

Poor people have hard time in this
world of ours. Even in the matters OF
religion there is vast difference between
Lazarus and Dives, as the following an
ecdote, copied from an exchange, will IL
lustrate:
Old Billy C. had attended great
revival, aud in common with many others,
was " convicted and baptised. Not ma
ny weeks afterward one of his friends met
him reeling home from the court ground
with brick in his hat.
T" Hello, Uncle Billy" said his friend,
F." / thought you had joined the church p
" So / did" answered Billy, making a
desperate effort to be still. $50 | did,
Jeemes, a bin a good Baptist, if they
hadn't treated me SO everlastin' mean al
the water. Didn't you hear about i;
Jeemes ?"
"No, I never did"
"Then I'll tell bout it. You see,
when we come to the baptism place there
was old Sinks, the rich old Squire, who
was to be dipped at the same time. Well
the minister took the Squire in first, but
| didn't mind that much, as / thought
that 'twould be just as good when | cum
SO he led him in nifty keerlul, and wiped
his face and led him out. Well, then
cum my turn, and instead of liflin' me
out as he did the Squire, he gave me one
slosh, and left me crawlin' around on the
bottom like a mud turtle = that's sc

Correct Sneaking..

We would advise all young people to,
acquire, in early life, the habit of correct
speaking and writing, and to abandon IS
early as possible, any use Of Slang phrases.
The longer you live, the more dil6calt
the language viii be; aud il the golden
age of yoath, the proper season Tor ac-
QUESTION of language, be passed in its a
buse, the unfortunate victim, if fneglectea,
is, very properly, doomed TO talk slang
for life. Money is not necessary to pro-
cure this education. Every man has it
in his power liz has merely to use the
language which be reads instead of the
slang which he hears; to form his taste
from the best of speakers and poets in
the country; to treasure up choice phrases
in his memory and habituate himself TO
their use, avoiding at the time that pc
dantic precision and bombast which she"
the weak ness Of vain ambition rather than
the polish of an educated inind.

ADyER-IsESG AND CASH BUSINESS AIer-
chants OF every description who have suffer-
cd from losses which they incurred by too
much credit in 1866, are now naturally anx-
ious to do a cash business. In fact, sspay
down. is the dictate Of safety and wisdom,
because the financial and political affairs or
the country are just in that shape where
the thoughtful man feels the necessity OF
holding hls resources in hand. Now it is q
concession Of All tradeTs-even those whodo
not advertise-that the custom which they
have heretofore obtained by advertising,
has generally been from men with cash in
hand, who bought freely at the lowest mar
ket rates. When merchants advertise good
bargains, 1t attracts the cash from the pock-
cts OF the community. We are therefore,
correct in saying that nothing tends more to
promote cash business than ad5oerJsing.

AMER1cAN NorHs--Gharles Dickens Notes
in America Il published in pamphlet form
by Tlcknor & Fields Boston. The volume
contains the result Of Mr. Dickens observa-
tions drrzrg his tour tn this country some
years ago. and has been severely criticised
for the structures it contains on American
customs, manners and people. A candid
perusaI of It Ia the light of subsequent
events viii show that Mr. Dickens stric-
lures were perhaps after all not undeserved.
The great noveust's second tour on this con-
tinent, now in progress, will lend additional
interest to the work, which is, Of itself very
entertaining reading.
