Those earthly beauties, where are they?
The verdant leaf, the lovely flower,
Wondering in natures sad decay
Beneath stern deaths chilling power.
Those lovely charms are all entombed,
No more to meet the raptured eye,
And all that once in beauty bloomed,
Deep in the earth embosomed lie.
Now cherries stands the summer bower.
Where oft your babe was wont to breathe,
And chaunt the lay in tranquil hour,
And court the balmy breath of eve.
Weep not, mother, though gloom may drive
Oblivion along the darkness air;
Though doting mother scarce alive,
With all the horrors of despair.
Her prattlings sound upon your ear,
With dying cadence pierce your soul;
Amother's sigh of woe is near,
Where sorrows waves profusely roll.
Reflection points us to that door,
Where misery and woe reside;
Where cherries days are counted DER,
And sleepless nights their cares divide.
The father and the mothers cry,
Reach to the heavens and centre there,
But plying angels cast sigh, W
And placed your babe in a Sayiour's care.

A Torpid System.

Sometimes, without any assignable cause,
the physical strength and animal spirits give
way, and strange torpor falls alike on the
body and intellect There is little or no pain
perhaps, but the natural vigOr and elasticity
of the nervous and muscular system
seems to have departed, and an Indifference
to the pleasures of life, and even of its grave
responsibilities, takes the place of that ear
nest interest in both which characterizes
every well balanced mind when in heal ny
condition.
This state Of partial collapse is often the
premonitory symptoms of some serious
malady. 1t indicates Enthusiastically that the
vital powers are languishing and need a slim
ulant. In such cases the effect Of few
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is won
derfully beneficial. The great tonic wakes
up the system from its browse. The secre-
tons and the circulation receive new i'm
petus. The relaxed nerves recover their
/ elasticity under the operations of the specific
I like the slackened strength of a musical in
strumentin the process OF tuning. Lethargy
and debility are replaced by energy and Wig
or, the spirits rise, and life that almost SEEM
ed burden while the season of depression
Tasted. becomes once more enjoyable. That
such radical change should be produced by
remedy entirely devoid of the powerful
alkaloids and minerals so extensively used
in modern practice, may seem incredible to
those who pin their faith on the medicinal eff
ficacy of active poisons, but if these skeptics
will take the trouble 10 enquire Of those who
have tested the Corrective and alternative viz
! tues of the Bitters under the circumstances
described, they will find the statement to be
true.
