"This is to say to God: o Lord,

The world is old and the world is cold,
And never a day is fair, l said.
Out of the heavens the sunlight rolled,
The green leaves rustled above my head,
And the sea was a sea of gold.
The world is cruel, l said again,
Her voice is harsh to my shrinking ear,
And the nights are dreary and full ofpain.
Out of the darkness sweet and clear,
There rippled a tender strain;
Rippled the song Of bird asleep,
That sang in a dream in a budding wood;
OF shining fields where the reapers reap,
OF "a wee brown mate and a nesting brood,
And the grass where the berries peep.
The world is false, though the world be fair,
And never heart is pure, 1 said.
And 10 the clinging of white arms bare,
The innocent gold of my baby's head,
And the lisp Of childish prayer.

NIASTAS' PULMONIC BALSAM
Lungs and CHEST.


ITThe attention Of those afflicted with colds,
coughs, and with any disease of the lungs, is di-
rected to this valuable remedy. The season Of
the year has already come when, on account of
the sudden changes in the weather, colds and
coughs are easily taken, and if neglected may
lead TO disease ofthe lungs. WHAT'S needed un-
der such circumstances is a reliable remedy
speedy in affording relief and efectualin arrest
ing further progress of the disease.
IFTo arrest the existing irritation of the air
passages and the lungs, speedily and etfectualy,
the seat and cause of cough is an important step
gained toward relief and cure in the first stages
ofthe disease. MAsTAs PULMoNIC BALsAM pos
sesses this important power, and while it prompt
ly and effectually arrests all existing irritation

further relief by promoting free discharge OF
the accumulated mucus in the air passages, i'm
parting a healthy action and vigor TO the chest
at the same time.
IPThose suffering with coughs and the first
stages Of lung disease, will therefore find in this
valuable preparation a speedy and decided re-
lief Even those whose condition is beyond re-
covery, will derive from its use great benefit as
well as comfort For the class of diseases it is de-
signed to relieve, the general commendation 1t
has received has proved its great efficacy beyond
question. For the past ten years thousands have
been speedily and etfectually cured by its timely
use while suffering from severe colds, protracted
coughs, and from other forms of lung disease
Il is prepared from vegetable balsams with the
medicinal properties ofroots and herbs, with NO
minerals nor poisonous acids, simple and safe IN

"WHERE THE DEVIL CANNOT CONE,
He WILL SEND."-A proverb Of very
serious import, which excellently sets
out to US the penetratiUe character of
temptations, and the certainty that
they will follow and find men out in
their strictest retreats. 1t rebukes
the absurdity of supposing that by
any outward arrangements, cloistered
retirements, flights into the wilderness
sin can be kept at a distance. So fal
from this, temptations will inevitably
overleap all these outward and mere
ly artificial barriers which may be
raised up against them; for our great
enemy is as formidable from seem
ing distance as in close combat: a0her,
he cannot come, he wlt send.-Trench

"CROws. ."-"Col. B. had one of the
best farms on the Illinois river. About
one hundred acres of it were covered
with corn. When it came up in the
spring, the crows appeared determin-
ed on its entire destruction. When
one was killed it seemed as though a
dozen came to it's funeral; and though
the sharp crack of the rife drove them
away, they always returned with its
echo. The Colonel at length became
weary Of throwing grass, and resolv.
ed on trying the virtue Of stones. He
sent to the druggists for a gallon Of
alcohol, in which he soaked a few
quarts of corn and threw it over the
field. The black-legs came and par
took with their usuSal relish, and as
might be expected, they were pretty
well "corned," and such a cooling anC
cackling, such strutting and swagger
ing! When the boys attempted tC
catch them, they were not a Iitu,
amused at their staggering gait anC
their zigzag way through the air.
At length they gained the edge of
the woods, and there being joined BY
new recruit, which happened to b,
sober, they united at the top Of thei
voices in haw, haw, having AID shout
ing either praises or curses Of alco
hol; it was difficult to tell which, a
they ratified away without rhyme o
reason. But the Colonel saved hi
corn AS soon as they became sobe
they set their faces steadfastly agains
alcohol not another kernel woul
they touch in his field"
Why will not men be wise as crows
And fly the field where danger grows?
To taste again when once brought low,
Shows far less wisdom than the crow.
Iftwice man is SHARED by wine
He's only fit to rank with swine.
Rise, men, in majesty and might
All, why let wine put wit to flight:
Reasoning birds should men derde,
Who twice lay reasons rule aside.

Turning to God.

To turn from sin is WELL
And better still to fight
To meet the monster face to face,
And claim our earth born right:
But better yet,
And higher far,
To turn to Christ,
The Morning Star.
To turn from sin is hard,
And harder still the war
Which holds this enemy in check,
Without higher power:
That power is Christ,
The Son of God;
Our earthly friend,
And heavenly Lord.
To turn from sin we may,
From guilt we may be free;
But what avails the turning hour,
Except ye "turn to me"
My voice says come"
My word is " sure"
And souls are lost
Without my power.
To turn from sin we must,
We dare not die alone,
We cannot pass the Last Great Day,
While only fearing sin.
The love of God,
The Spirits power,
Our souls possess,
And make us pure.
Then, turn to God, who will;
Ye cannot bear the pains
OF endless punishment from Him,
In everlasting chains.
wanderer come"
Make no delay;
But turn to God
While yet ye may.
