severe lung difficulty, attended with a
good deal Of pain. and very irritating
cough. also had night swcats, which
were very dcbilitating. J had employ.
ed the best physicians in town, but
their medicines gave lie no relief. l
grew worse under their treatment, and
they finally gave me to understand
that there was no help for me and that
1 must soon die Of consumption.
rs soon as | commenced to take your
medicine my health began to improve !;
my nigh, swcats gradually disappeared I;
my cough was relieved, and the pain
has nearly all left ne. | am now able
to do nearly as much work as ever. |
have now taken your medicine for about
six months, and, although ! am nos en-
tirely we'll, yet | am SO much better
that | feel confident of full recovery
Of my health by the use Of your excel

Round the Lamp.

BY MRS. N. E. sASGSTER.
Round the lamp, in the evening,
Sit Johnny and Katie and Sue;
Each as happy as king or queen,
And each with something to do
Mcrrily lips are moving,
Earnestly eyes arc bent,
For to-morrows lessons arc all to learn,
And the learners arc all content.
Father over his paper,
Pauscs to tell his son
How sums like those in tho olden time
By the Rule of Three were done.
And he mods, with smile to the other,
As the good boy helps the rest:
1" think my dear, that the rule Of three
Is as good q rule as the best ~
And Susie over her spelling,
While dinples come and so,
Tells how she faltered and missed word
That Harry did not know.
"And I won't be higher than Harry,
The dearest boy in the place."
She says, with the thought Of Il tolltale 3lus
On the flower of her little face.
Over their lessons at evening,
Kate and johnny and Sue
Each as happy as king or queen,
And eacll,with something to do
In n thousand homes VIC see them,
The faircst sight in the land;
The growing boys and the growing girls,
Who soon in our place shall stand.
They are coming fast to their kingdom.
Is the Kingdom ready for them?
Is it buided with sure foundations
That they will move! condemn
And tn, hope Of our hearts is gnrnored
In the schools, or great or small
Whether they stand in the busy towns,
Or among the pine trees tall.
For poets and scholars and statesmen,
Leaders in field and camp,
Mothers and queens Of hearth and home,
arc stu lying round the lamp.

In their green laps you sat content;
And softly lcancd your head to rest
On Natures calm and pea csful breast
Walk through the scrc and fading wood,

When all you knew Of life was good,
And all you dreamed Of life was sweet,

Der youthful loves enchanted track
Taste tho fruit of orchard. boushs,
Drink from tho messy we'll once more,
Breath fragrance from tho crowded moWs,
With sweet clover running Ger;
And count the treasures ut your feet
Of silver rye and golden wheat.

Or mothers patient, loving lace,
What ere your life may have of i'll,
Thank God that these arc left you still.
And though where home hath been you stan
To day in alien loneliness
Though you may clasp no brothers hand,
And claim no sisters tender kiss
Though, with no friend nor loycr Eigh,

For every dear, departed day;
