TLENEss.-Gentleuess is love in socie-
ty; it is love holding intercourse with those
around it. 1t is that cordiality of aspect, and
that soul of speech, which assures us that
kind and earnest hearts may still be met with
here below. 1t is that influence which, like
the scented flame of an alabaster lamp, fills
many home with light and warmth and fra
GRANGE altogether. 1t is the carpet, soft and
deep, which, whilst it diffuses look of ample
comfort, deadens many a creaking sound. 1t
is the curtain, which from many a beloved
form wards off at once the summers glow and
the winters wind. 1t is the pillow, on which
sickness lays its head, and forgets half its mis-
cry, and to which death comes in calmer
dream. 1t is constituencies. 1t is tender
ness of feeling 1t is warmth of affection.
1t is prompttude of sympathy. 1t is love in
all its depth and all its delicacy. 1t is every
thing included in that matchless grace, the
gentleness of Christ.-Hdmilton.

ring.]
She struck her golden harp-the sound
Through the woods and hills was ringing:
And tlfe wild beasts springing all around
Listae' ID and stopp'd their springing
She struck the golden harp again;
So sweet were the sounds it uttered;
But when the gray falcon heard the STRAIN,
On the branch his wings he nnttered.
Her third stroke on the golden harp
Was sweeter still, and stronger,
And in the lake the swimming carp,
Entranced could swim no longer,
The field broke into fragrant flower,
When the gold harp played the Rune
TIL enchanting notes the night o'erpower:
He spurs his steed-is gone.

Some two years ago my daughter, seven years old,
had severe attack of rheumatic and peurisy fever
which left her in very dangerous condition. Her
liver inactive, no appetite to eat, general debility and
sinking daily. We employed good physicians with
out benefit. After having nearly despaired of her
recovery decided to try the New York University
Medicine. In two months she was able to 90 to
school, and has not been compelled to lose a dav
since on account of ill health.
