40 West 18th street, while on visit to
the West, was attacked with severe illness
from drinking impure water. Life was
despaired of, and it was thought that he
must die His wife was Immediately
sent for, and in day or two was at his
bedside. Having herself seen the benef-
cial results from the use of Plantation
Bitters, she insisted upon their being ad-
ministered to him, which was done, in
quantities prescribed by the attending
physician. The result was almost as if
by magic, and in one half hour from the
time they were given her husband was
out of danger, and by moderate use of
them three Or four times day, he was
soon able to resume his journey to his
home This is but one case of many
thousands that we know of.

No, in one bli.sml day
Breaks on the silence Of tho wintry earth
The song and bloom that crown the summers birth

In slow, son pulses, creeps her life again.

And build their sheltered nests.

With rlpcniug warmth on precious ffuit below,

The wind and wave will own the Masters power.

Some happy morn thy feet shall touch the strand
And thy glad soul await the reckoning band,

And pass with singing through the golden gatcs
To the fair palace where thy Father waits.

And our tears foil softly down,
We looked our last on The aged nce
With its look of peace, lts patient grace,
And hair like a silver crown.

Prom lies long labor at rest
And among tho blossoms, white aud sweet,
We noted bunch Of golden wheat,
Clhsped close 10 the silent breast
The blossoms whispered orfadelcsa bloom,
Ofn land whore fill no tears,
The ripe wheat told Of toll and care,
The patient sailing The trusting PRAYER,
Tho garnorod good Of the years.
We know not what work her hands had found
What rugged places her feet
What cross was hers, what blackness Of night
We saw but the peace, the blossoms white,
And the bunch ofriponod wheat
A. each goes up from The folds Of earth,
Bearing the treasures Of life.
God looks for some gathered grain Of good,
Prom the ripe harvest that shining stood,
Bat waiting the reaper's knife.

Not bent with doubt. and burdoncd with fears,
And dead, dry husks Of the wasted year,

The Flaw-Hunters.


There are people that have preternatural
of evil, IN every ones character. They have
a fatal scent for carrion, their memory is like
a museum at a medical college, and illustrates
all the hideous distortion and monstrous
growths and revolving diseases by which hu-
mapity can be troubled or afflicted. They
think they have wonderful knowledge OF
human nature. But it is blunder to mistake
the Newgate Calendar for biographical
dictionary. A less offensive type of the same
tendency leads some people to find apparent
satisfaction in the discovery and proclama-
ton OF the slightest defects IN the habits oil
good men and the conduct of public lnstltu-
tions. They cannot talk about the benefits
conferred by great hospital without lament,
ing some insignificant blot in its laws, and
some trihing want of prudence in its manage
ment. Speak to them Of man whose good
works everybody is admiring and they cool
your ardor by regreting that he IS 80 rough
In his manner, or so smooth-that his temper
| is so hasty. or that he is so fond OF applause
They seem to hold brief, requiring them tc
proye the impossiblity Of human perfection
Tbey detect the slightest alloy in the pure
gold of human goodness That there are
spots in the sun is with them something more
! than an observed fact--it takes rank with
prior and necessary truths. There are peo
pie who, if they hear an organ, lind out a
once which are the poorest stops. III they
listen to a great speaker, they remember
nothing but some slip in the construction o
a sentence, the consistency of metaphor
or the eyolutions of an argument Whl'
the friends are admiring the wealth an'
beauty of a tree whose branches are weighe'
down with fruit, they have discovered soil
tary bough, lost in the golden afiluence, OF
which nothing is hanging.

They drive home the cows from the pasture,
Up and through the long shady lane,
Where the qualls whistle loud In The wheathcls
That are yellow with the rlpenlng grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarletlppod strawberry growsi
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the irst crimson blood Of the roso
They toss the new hay in the meadow
They gather the elder bloom white
They dnd the dusky grapes purple
In the soft-tintcd October light.
They know where the apples hang rpest,
Aud are swceter than Italy wines,
They know whore the mutt hangs the thekest,
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate soa-wocds,
And build tiny castles In the sand
They pick up the beautiful soa-shells--
Fairy harts that have drilled 10 land
They wave from the tall, rocking troe-tops
Where the ORIOLES hammock nest swings,
And at nighttime are folded In sumbor
by a song that fond mother sings.

SrosEs FOR HAY--An old farmer from
Atkinson, N. H., was arrested the other day
in Lawrence, for putting stones into his load
of hay, brought to market, for the purpose
of increasing its weight. He seems to have
put about ll5 pounds Of stones into the load,
which he was detected in pulling out after the
hay had been weighed. And from some evil
dence, on his examination before justice,
il would seem that either he or some one else
has long been at this trick for one witness
testified, that he had been annoyed, for year
or two past, at times, by piles Of country
stones, moss-covered, being left where Nor
rill was seen unloading his hay.
