To perdita.


The following graceful poem is from the
pen of Mrs. Sarah Helen Whitman, of Pro-
vidence-the Helen of Edgar Poe. Long
ago, so the legend runs, Poe saw Mrs.
Whitman, then Il beautiful young widow,
and seeing, loved her. They were engag-
ed to be married and the wedding day
was fixed. when his wild intemperance
separated them. But this woman, whom
poet had loved, has been faithful to his
memory. She has published q book i'll his
defense, and she remembers only the mob
Ter side of him-that highest self so fatally
obscured in this life by his errors, yet sure
of its own immortality:
What holds thy dreamy eyes in thrull?
\ SOmbrc picture weird and cold,
That dims the dayhght'S morning gold
4 grass-grOwn rampant, lifting high
Its rCcdy fringe against the sky;
Half last in its O'erShadOWing gloom
The semblance of a moldering tomb;
Upon the tablet, side by side,
In DOmp of old heraldic pride,
Two Sculptured figures lying stark
And dumb within the glcamering dark.
A raven on the mOldering tomb,
An Owlet Hitting though the gloom,
A cold, white, wandering moon that seems
The ghost of lOng-fOrgOttCn dreams;
In the high rampant an old door,
Where night winds cutter, nothing more.
Why doth it hold thine eyes in thraI,
This SOmbrG picture on the wall,
That dims the daYlight's glad return,
And shrineth darkness like an urn?
Is there within thy heart grave
DER which the winds of memory rave,
Where, ScpUlchrcd i'll marble pride,
Thy dread hopes slumbcr, side by side,
Lost to the futures dawmng light,
And Shrined in imnemorial pight?

TIE WARNING VOICE, or, Warning to
Young Men, sent free on receipt of stamp.
This little work was written by one OF the
most eminent physicians in America and
contains the lifetime experience of its au-
thor, whose practice has been attended
with greater success than perhaps ever
fell to the lot of mortal man. This little
work is handed to the world as a boon to
the suffering, especially young men VINO
have been so unfortunate rs to become the
victims of self-abuse and suffering from
and general debility. This vice il more
common than is generally imagined, and
il as destructive as it is common. This
single pernicIous habit by the youth of
our country is the direct cause OF more
physical and mental debility, the destruc-
ton of more minds, the rain of more con-
stitutiOns, the source of more wretched-
ness and misery than all causes combined.
1t tends directly to weaken and destroy
the force and energy of the physical sys-
tom and to impair the intellect, weaken
the memory and dcbase the mind, result
ing in early decrepitude, permanent ner-
vous affections, blindness, faulty and in
sanity; it is worse than open lewdness
it is worse than intemperance worse than
all other vices which young or old ever do
or ever can indulge; more destructive to
all the best interests of humanity in this
world and the world to come ; destructive
to body. mind and soul, and will if per-
sisted in render existence a burden. a
blank waste, and life d continued scene OF
wretchedness.

The Town Of ZOar,

of our neighbor, somebody seeming to
know how it is himself: "Zoar is still
Zoar, dull village with surroundings
most picturesque and attractive. The
hotel is well kept for a country hotel,
the fare being of the substantial order.
Speaking of orders, the stolld Zoarites
don't take orders of anybody. They
put the grub on the table, and you can
fill up or retire, just as you like. A
party that stopped there the other day
saw the yards full of pullets and half
grown Brahmas, and yearning for such
diet asked for spring chicken; but the
maid of the inn shook her head and
said "nein." The garden is not so well
kept as formerly, but one may wander
for hours upon the well made and well
kept roads around the village, coming
every moment upon the most charming
little landscapes i'm the world, winding
up at the brewery, which is, very ap-
propriately, just across from the ceme-
try. There is no end of apple trees,
the bending boughs of which are sup
ported by myriads of props. 1t is queer
and thrifty, dull, beautiful, sweet, stu
pid, mouldy, mixed up kind of an old

Why should we fear to grow old !?
Why should we dread to see the years
circle away, and leave their marks up
on our brow? Why should we stay
time in his course, as he rushes by Oh
never wearied wings? Old age, art thou
so dark, SO dreary? Oh! thou art un-
lovely to the eyes of youth.. The vigor
of mind and body destroyed, the senses
falling, the tottering footsteps and bent
form, all these accompany thee. Array
thyself in the trappings of youth and
festivity, endeavor to efface the finger
prints of time, but it is all in vain.
There is no music in thy trembling
voice, no bloom or loveliness upon thy
withered cheek. Yet all unlOvely as
thou art, still are we fastening toward
thee, and can make no resistance. We
may wish to loiter amongst the flowers
of spring, or the beauties of summer
but time speeds us on to the dreary
plains of winter.
why Is ines winter thonSnt TO DE SC
dreary? Is not winter the season fol
enjoying the produce of spring and
summers labor? The industrious who
have laid up their stores, need have nc
anxiety; but the indolent who have
made no provision, may well fear its ap
proach. so it is with old age. We neet
not dread it, if, in youth, we have beer
diligent, and laid up our treasures il
heaven; but, if we have spent our days
in the service of the world and its fol.
lies, then we may fear old age; for il
brings poverty, and there is no poverty
like the SOULS poverty. Then let u:
live so, that old age shall be for us &
time for reviewing over the past and joy,
ous meditation on the future.

Word to Business Men.

Many of our business men do moi
seem to realize the benefit of having
their name or card printed ON their en-
velopes. The return clause brings the
letter back to you in five, ten or thirty
days as the case may be, whereas il
would have to go to the Dead Letter
Office, if it should fail to reach the par
ty addressed. There is also another
benefit arising from having the card on
the envelope. 1t frequently happens,
more frequently than people have any
idea of, that letters are dropped into
the Post Office without being stamped.
All such letters are retained for post
age. If the writer is known by his
card upon the envelop the postage can
be collected, and the letter sent on with
out delay. Not long since travelling
man dropped a letter into the letter.
box at the p ost Office without being
stamped. By the printed matter on the
envelop it was known who had mailed
it, and on asking the man if he had
mailed letter, he said he had and de-
scribed it minutely. He said he would
not for any money, have had that letter
delayed single day. This will suffice
to show the Importance of having your
business card printed upon your envel-
opes with a request to return if not
called for in certain number of DAYS.

The Worth Of a Local Newspaper,

Does it ever for an instant occur to
the business man that it is his solemn
duty to support the local press of his
neighborhood? What is it but the well
conducted newspaper that makes his
city or town? What constantly and
gratuitously advertises it to the world
as place of interest or importance !?
What daily or weekly makes known to
the whole earth the simple fact that
such place as where he strives to gain
a livelihood has existence in the atlas !?
1t is the local paper. Now we, venture
to say that not one-tenth part of the
business people of any city in the coun-
try spend any money in the way of ju-
dicious advertising. True, they take
the paper, but it is not because they feel
any duty deyolying upon them to award
its support. Their subscriptions are
measurably of no account. If adver-
tisements were not given by. others the
paper would cease to live despite the
payment of subscribers. Show US To-
cal paper well filled with advertise
ments and we win at once take stock in
the enterprise and business tact Of the
people who live where the journal is
published. The outside world judges
more of the place by the newspaper it
publishes than from any other sign. 1t
is therefore a matter of great moment
that the local journal of the city, town
and village should be well supported,
for it above all other things contributes
to the general prosperity.
