Many years ago, In what is now q
fourishing city, lived stalwart black
smith, fond Of his pipe and his joke.
He was also fond OF his blooming
daughter. whose many graces has en-
shared the affections of young printer.
The couple after n season OF billing and
cooling engaged themselves and
nothing but the consent Of the young
lady's parent prevented their union.
TO obtain this, an Interview was ar.
ranged, and the typo prepared little
speech TO admonisb aud convince the
old gentleman, who sat enjoying his
pipe In perfect content. The typo bill
ated upon the fact of their long friend

hopes for the future, aud like topics !:

Alone in the dark and Silent night,
With the heavy thought of o vanished year.
When evil deeds come back to sight.
And good deeds rise with welcome cheer,
Alone with the scepters Of the past,
There glooms one shadow dark and vest
The shadow OF Wasted Time.
The chances Of happiness thrown away:
The good opportunities never sought;
The good resolves that every day
Have died In the impotence OF thought;
In the rugged path we have striven to climb
When we talk with Wasted Time.
what are we now9 What had we been,
Had we boarded time a. the miser's goldf
Through the summers heat and winters
Shrinking from nought that the world could
Ee.rins nousht but the touch Of crime,
Ana ao AL Ti%s through
Who shall recall the vanished yearss
Who shall hold back the ebbing tide
That leaves US remorse. and shame, and tears
And washes away all things besidef
Who shall give Us str ength even now
To shake of this sloth from heart and brow.
And battle with Wasted Timef
The years that pass cannot como again,
The things that die no life renew.
But cen from the rust of his clanking chain,
That to him who learns through errors past
And turns away with strength sublime,
And makes each year outdo the last.
There's NO Waste Of Time.

Nolongcr q lover! exclaimed an aged
patriarch; ali, you mistake me if yo,f
think age has blotted out my heart.
Though silver hairs fall over brow all
wrinkled and a cheek all furrowed, yet
am lover still. / love the beauty Of
u maiden's blush, the soft tint of flow
ers, the singing of birds, and above all
the silyery ring in the laugh of child.
! love the starlight meadows, where
the buttercups grow, with almost the
same enthusiasm as when with my
ringlets flying loose I'm the wind and
my cap in hand, years ago chased the
painted butterfly / loved yon aged
dame. Look at her. Her face is care
worn, but 1t ever held q smile for me.
Often have shared the bitter cup of
sorrow with her--and 80 shared, 1t
seemed almost sweet. Years of sick
ness have stolen the freshness OF her
life, but like the rose, the perfume of
her love is richer than when in the full
bloom of youth and maturity.
Together We have placed buds In the
pale folded hands Of the edead--together
wept over the little graves. Through
storm and through sunshine we have
clung together; and now she sits with
her Knitting, her cap quantity frilled,
the old style 'kerchief crossed white
and prim above the heart that has bent
80 long and truly for me, the dim blue
eye, that shrinkingly fronts the glad
day--the sunlight throwing her part
Ing farewell, kisses her brow and leaves
upon Its faint tracery OF wrinkles an
gelic radiance. see, though no one
else can, the bright. glad young face
that won me first, shine through those
withsred features, and the growing
love OF forty years thrills my heart till
the tears come.
Say not again / can no longer be a
lover. Though this form may be bow
ed, God has implanted eternal love
within. Let the ear be deaf, the eye
blind, the hands palsied, the limbs
withered, the brain cl0uded. yet the
heart, the true heart, may hold such
wealth of love, that all the power OF
death and the victorious grave shall
not be able TO put out its quenchle

thousands of persons who have been restored
TO sound health from its use, it is recommended
to the afflicted with entire confidence In the
belief that IL will effectually eradicate from the

For PURIFYING THE BLOOD the Alternative
will be found to be most effective medicine.
Acting directly on the circulation, 1t purifies

stroys the virus or poisonous principle from
which those diseases originate.
