FAMILY DIFFERENcEs.-Perhap on the
whole we have more cause to wonder at the
frequency Of conspicuous family disunion
than its existence shows us. Nothing SO oon-
yinces US Of the strength of the tie Of con
sauguinity as the tugs we see it bear. We
are often surprised at what people will put U
with from one aud another under the bond OF
relationship, how they will bear with the I'm
bearaDle, how the black sheep holds his
ground: than at breaches and scandals when
they do occur. We constantly see persons
endured by their families who are unendura-
Bile to everybody else, and who certainly &c
not secure this federation by any pains OIL
their part, by being any pleasauter at HON.
than they are abroad.
A bad temper expands, grows, expatiates
in the family circle, and all bow to it. A bru
tai brother lords it over the women of the
house. An odious woman embitters the If,
of her parents, and spois the prospect Of hel
amiab!e sisters. Self concct puffs and swel
in an adverse ratio to success and desert; sci
f hn IS in its lowest and most offensive form
is submitted to, and by submission. iostered.
vi ich. INDUCED everywhere, would condemn
man to absolute isolation.

THE GATES AJAR.

THE GATES AJAR.
On the occasion OF the birth CT the fr=t child,
che poet writes:
One night old Saint Peter slept,
He lift the door of Heaven ajar,
When through little angel crept,
And come down with falling star.
One-sumrsser as the blessed beams
7 Of morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened from her pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by Ter side.
God graz but this, I ask more,
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way to that bright shore,
- And find the door of Heaven again.
whereupon Saint Peter not liking this impu-
tation of careessness, thus fby triend) re-
plies: ,r-,5,-
ON THE PART OF TILE DEFENSE.
y For eighteen hundred years and more,
I've kept my door securely tyed;
There has no little angle strayad,
No one been missing all the while.
I did not sleep as you supposed,
Nor leave the door of Heaven ajar;
Nor has little angel stray ID,
Nor gone down with the falling star.
60 ask that blusking bride, and see
If she don't frankly own and say,
That when she found that angel babe,
She found it in the good old way.
Ged grant but this, ask 10 more,
That should your numbers still enlarge,
You will not do as heretofore,
And lay it to old Peters charge.

This Valuable Family Medicine has been widely
and favoraby known in our own and foreign
countries, upwards of
THIRTY YEARS!
1t has lost none of its good name by repeated
trials, but continues to occupy prominent posi-
ton in every family medicine chest.
1t is an External and Internal Remedy. For
Summer Complaint, or any other form of bowel
disease in children or adults, it is almost GER
tain cure, and has without doubt been more
successful in curing the various kinds of CHOL-
ERA than any other known remedy, or the most
skillful physician. In India, Africa and China,
where this dreadful disease is more or less prev
alent, the Pain Killer is considered by the
tives as well as European residents in those eli
mates, a sure remedy; and while it is a most eff
cient remedy for pain. it is perfectly safe med
icine, even in unskillful hands. Directions ac-
company each bottle.
