The sun was shining on the hills,
q And gliding the purple heather,
| As you and were roaming, love,
In Summer weather.
The birds were singing in the trees.
The lark sung in the sky,,-a
But ah |! needed not their songs
AS they winged by. fp
For sweeter than the sweetest song
Of birds upon tree -s
Was the music of your voice love,
AS you spoke to me.
Blue was the sunny streamlet
And blue the Summer skies, $500
But bluer, oh! thousand times
Were your soft eyes.
Sweets is the breath of wild flowers
With dew-drops newly wet,
But sweeter was the moment, love,
When our lips met.
Warm was the golden sunlight
On fields that gladly shine,
But warmer was your true heart
That beat with mine.
The year is growing old, love,
The sun has hid his light,
My life is growing dark, too,
And turning iato night.
The flowers bloom no longer,
{. The. birds have hushed their song,
And the music of the streamlet
No longer flows along.
But sweeter than the sweetest song
Of bird upon a tree,
Is the music of your voice, love,
AS you speak to me. f-
Come, love, and sit beside me.
And lay your hand in mine,
Look full into my heart, love,
With those true eyes Of thine.
Is there aught changed within il?
Has it grown strange or cold,
o love though life Is weary,
Now that the year is old |?

A BELLE BURIED IN Potter S
FIELD.--The vicissitudes OF life
are strong and suggestive. On
Wednesday Mrs. w. Fl, Disbrow
died in New York. Only a few
years ago she was the highest and
most brilliant on the list of New
York bellies. She died in the rear
room of the fifth story of one of
the most magnifcently furnished
and butt houses in the city; and
though she owned the furniture,
many thousands of dollars worth,
those who by her death became
lis owners, yesterday sent her, at
the expense of the city of New
York, to a home in Potter's Field.
She was the wife, 100, of the late
ly deceased. VIM. H. Disbrow,
once the well-known proprietor Of
Disbrow's riding academy. Her
mother discarded her when she
married against her will. She
was 29 years cid, was beautiful, al
ways respectable and only eighteen
months ago her then fair form wore
$4,000 worth of diamonds.

MORTAR AND PEsTLE.-Among
the relics of a New London couple,
which the wife had excavated
from a pile of rubbish, was an old
fashioned mortar, heavy ana Ca
pacious, but minus the pestle. 1t

lady began to poster her lord to
get the article necessary to make
it complete. So on Saturday night
he started out in search of pes
tie, visiting store after store with
out finding the article. At each
place he took a drink, until at ten
o'clock he found himself a little
beside himself. At last in bis
search he discovered a pair of hea.

taking one in each hand started on

Cubebs extracted by displacement with
spirits obtained from Juniper Berries; very lit

action of a fame destroys this Gts active princi-

Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu in

vent fermentation; upon inspection, 1t will be
found not to be o Tincture, as made in Pharma-
