After giving Peter good setting out,
the minister closed rs follows, In that pc

Lorc and Age.

I played with you mid cowlip, growing.
When Twas six aud you were four
When garlands weaving, nower.balls throwing.
Were pleasures soon 70 please no more,
Thro' groves and meads, DER grass and heather,
With little playmates, 70 and mo,
Wo wandered hand In hand together,
But that was sixty years ago.
You grew n lovely roseats maiden,
And still our early ioyo was strong
Still with no cares our days were laden,
They giided joyously along,
And did love you very dearly
thought your heart Was touched - nearly,
But that was my yearsaso. ..... '
Then other lovers came around you,
Your beauty grow from year TO year,
Tho centre OF It's ylittering sphere.
I saw you then. first Vows forsaking,
On rank and wealth your hand bestow,
O, then I thought my heart was breaking,
But that was forty years ago.
And lived on 10 we'd another .s..
No cause she gave me TO repine;
And when heard you were mother,
I did not wish the children mine.
My own young flock In fair progression,
Made up . pleasant Christmas rows
MY Joy In them was past expression,
but that was thirty years ago.
You grew q matron, plump and comely,
You dwelt In fashion's brightest blaley
Ny earthly lot was far moro homely,
but ], too, had my festal days.
No merrier eyes have ever glistened
Around the hearthstone's wintrv glow,
Than when my youngest child was christened,
But that was twenty years ago.
Timo passed. My eldest girl was married,
And now am n grnndsiro gray,
Ono pet OF four years old carried
Among the wild-howered meals 10 play.
In our fields OF childish pleasure,
Where now ns then the cowslips blow,
She hlls her caskets ample measure
And this Is not ten years ago.
but though nrst loves impassoned blindness
Has passed away In colder night,
still have thought Of you with kindness,
And shall until our last good night.
The everrolling silent hours
Will bring time we shall not know,
When our young days OF gathering flowers
VIII be hundred years ago. ...

Science Advances.

AS soon as an article purporting to be util-
ity has been tested, and its merits endorsed
by public opinion, unprincipled parties en-
deavor to replenish their depleted pusesr by
counterfeiting, and substituting a spurious
for the genuine article. Some time since,
mercury, in diguise for pills, powders, &c,
was given for all diseases of the stomach and
liver, while quinine was freely administered
for the chills. At length HOSTETTER' 5
STOMACH BITTEkS made its advent, and
an entire new system of healing was in
augurated. The beneficial effects of this
valuable preparation were at once acknoWi-
edged, and mineral poisons suffered to sink
into that obscurity to whic an enlightened
age has consigned them. There have been
many spurious Bitters palmed upon the come
munity. which, after trial, b ave been found
worthless. while HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS has proved blessing to thousands,
who owe to it their restoration to health.
For many years we have watched the steady
| progress of HOSTETTRR'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS in public estimation, and its benifcent
effect as a cure for all complaints arising
| from the stomach, of a morbid nature, and
| we are tree to say that it can be relied upon
as a certain relief and remedy. It's proprie-
| tors have made the above preparation, ate
wears of careful study and sitting, and are
| now reaping the reward claimed by this val
liable specific, and which they so richly
| merit. 1t is the only preparation of the kline
| that is reliable in all cases, and it therefore
| demands the attention of the afflicted.

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-Last Thursday
afternoon as Mr.. George Falkenbridge was
assisting to switch trains at the Depot oft
Milwaukee st. Paul Railway in this city,
q large cable with an iron hook at the end
was being used, when the hook suddenly
slipped from its hold and flying through the
air with great force struck Falkenbrdge
squarely in the forehead and knocked him
several feet. Those who saw the occurrence
had scarcely doubt that he was killed out
right but under careful attention he soon
rallied and is now able to be around. His
escape is remarkable as the blow was a
terrible one and he will carry the mark it
made through life. All things considered,
we are of the opinion that we'll built

CoNcERT.-Last Wednesday night
the Glenmarchlyn Concert Troupe" sang
at the Welsh Methodist Church, in the 4th
ward of this city. We were not present
but have heard the performance spoken OF
by those who were there, ia the highest
terms Mr.. Joha Owen, the leader, is a
celebrated composer and a highly accom-
plished musician and his daughter, Miss
Jennie Owen, beautiful and attractive
young lady, is one of the finest singers now
travelling, The Concert was vocal and in
strumental, and in both the English and
Welsh languages. As the notice had been
very limited, there was not very large at
tendance, but should they favor US with
another concert there will doubtless be g
full house to meet them.
