MY Fathers Gro~ing Old

o! when gaze upon his face,
That once was young and fair,
slmost weep to think that age
Could leave Its imagethere.
He stood the many storms oflifs
That round his pathway rolled,
He's resting in life's sunshine now
My fathers growing old.
CHORUS.
sit beside his easy chair,
His hand in mineI hold,
He breathes his life yet sweetly there.
Ny fathers growing old.
o! who can tell fathers love,
When age brings on decay,
The form grows weak, the eyes are dim,
The minds fades fast away,
Til after awhile life's sun goes down,
The story then is told;
Time whispers gently In my ear
My fathers growing old.
CHORUS.
I sit beside his easy chair, SC.
His journey 70 the grave is short,
His work is almost done, t-
His tott'ring limbs glow weaker still,
His race is nearly run;
Old age deserts him on the road,
he waits for death to come,
He's lost Upon the shores of time,
But angels lead him home. -4

To make good strong rooted
layers the vine should be laid
down in July, and separated from
the main vine during winter

Care should be taken not to have
the ground too rich SO as to pro-
duee long jointed canes, as the
shorter jointed healthy canes can

vineyard should be grown on a
trellis, never on a stake. If vines
are produced from cuttings they
should be laid nearly horizontal,
so as not to produce what are gen.
orally known as foot roots; none
but surface roots are of value to
the vine.

-Four negroes recently went to
rob a smoke-house in a Virginia
village. The door was locked,
but two of them pried up the
house on one side while the others
crept in. Just then the owner of

The two outside negroes dropped

settled down, squeezing one of,

out a very large outlay, can be cut
across and ample power obtained
by turning the whole river through

At Fayetteville, there is a wool

and consume 10000 pounds of
wool per year. On the same

A Philadelphia preacher who
was holding up to ridicule the d
pocalyptic heaven of Emanuel
Swedenborg, drew a graphic pic
ture Of that Utopia, with its beau
tiful fields, fine horses, cows, and
pretty women. In the midst of
his glowing description a good old
sister, carried away with the
scene, went into raptures and ex-
claimed, "Glory, glory, glory !"
The preacher was SO disconnected
that he paused, seeming hardly to
know what next TO do, till the pre-
siding elder in the stand behind
him cried out to the shouter-
@Hold on there, sister; you are
shouting over the wrong heaven.

perhaps there might be some virtue in
Patent Medicines and bought several of them,
which he took with no benefit and we all came
TO the conclusion that there was no use trying
anything else.
Mrs. Harvey, one Of our neighbors, was speak
ing one day of the astounding results she had
seen from the use of Hoohand's German Bitters
and insisted that we should try that. Her faith
was so strong in that remedy that she purchased
a bottle of 1t herself and presented 1t to my
brother who, more to please her than from any
1alth in 1t himself, commenced its use. The
effect of that one bottle astonished us all; his
appetite was better, and in every way he
felt relieved, and concluded to continue the
use of 1t. From this time he continued to inn
prove rapidly, and in few months to our great
JOY and surprise of all who knew him, he was
entirely restored to health. / assure you that
his recovery was like one raised from the dead,
and it is all attributed to the use of Hooflands
Bitters. Miss Burns, principal of one of the
public schools, who was boarding with me at the
time, said she looked upon the cure as miracu-
lous.
He is now living in Bucks county, near the
Fox Chase Tavern, and is as hearty and healthy
a farmer can be found Every time he comes
to my house he asks after Mrs. Harvey, the
lady who he says saved his life by insisting on
his taking Hoofands German Bitters.

Results from the use of
Hoofdnd's German BiterS.
Mrs. Annie Hoops, No. 1884 Master street,
Philadelphia, states as follows
l am witness to most remarkable cure of
Liver Complaint, accompanied with general
debility, cured by Hoohand's German Bitters.
Ny brother, John F. Duff, several years ago,
was taken with a severe pain in his side and
breast, proceeding from a very bad cold, at
tended with most distressing cough. He was
working at the time at boat building, in Yardley-
vile, Bucks county Pa. He continued working
in this condition for a long time.
During this time he used great many reme-
dies, but received benefit from none of them: in
fact, he continued to grow gradually worse, his
cough and all other symptoms OF disease in
creasing He became subject to night sweats
and aches and pains of almost every description.
AT this stage OF his disease he was compelled to
quit work, and call in physician, who attended
him tor some time without doing him any
good His disease had now advanced so far
that 1t was deemed advisable to secure the
advice OF a consulting physician. He was under
the care OF these TWO doctors, the best in Bucks
county, Tor several months, but was still becom-
ing worse. lie now became much discouraged
and began TO think his case beyond cure and
came 10 my house, In this city, as all who saw
him thought, 10 die. lie was so weak and thin
that he could not walk one square without sitting
down on some door step TO rest and get his
breath. .-,-+ ---,., -- .-.

With an open turret toward the sky,
Through which heavens dews may fall
Let this be the room of the soul, young man,
When shadows shall herald care,

To hinder the light or door or latch
To shut in the spirit prayer
Build slow and sure-'ts for life, young man,

For who shall gainsay the Holy word?

Expensive Funerals.

About the saddest sight that can be seen in
the streets of New York-if only one chooses to
look at itin the right Lights trades union or
benevolent society funeral. 1t is sad, because it
causes such a waste of money. We see one of
these funerals every day from our window, on
an average-and our window is not a particu-
larIy good place for funerals either-so that the
whole number OF them in the course of a year
must be very large. The last one which we saw
has Just gone by, and it was q fair speci-
men of all the rest. First came a band Of
music, for which S75 had been paid then q
procession of four hundred and thirty men, each
of whom had lost half days work, equal to
$500; then came the hearse and thirty-dve car
riages, which cost 5000; making the cost of the
funeral, exclusive of the coffin, grave, ETC., 1135
Now all of this with the exception of the half
days work lost by each man, came out of the
treasury Of the trade-union of which the de-
ceased was member, and had the four hundred
and thirty men chosen to work that halliday and
place the money in their treasury, for the benefit
if need be- Of the widow and family Of their
deceased brother would it not have been wiser ?
