Memory Bells.
By GARNET B. FREEMAN

d. Nah1EA ID. rhEEMAN.
Memory bells ringing-ringing-- = go
In the distance, far away -
Do YOU hear them singing-singine
VIII you tell me what they say?
Do you hear their silver Ginning s}pfF e
DO you hear their mellow rhyming
Do you hear the dear, sweet storv
OF your childhood's far-off glory
Do they take you back to years rf'rs GIf
Clouded by no haunting fears
Do they speak OF sunny hours ~ ISL
When your way was strewn with flowers,
When rainbow arched your sky.
And when Faith stood smiling by :?
They are tolling-tolling slowly /;
Hear the echoes die away
Tender, lowly, sad, and molly
Will you tell me what they say?
Do they tell Of manhood's dreaming :?
Do they tell Of bright eyes beaming?
Do they tell of fond words spoken
DO they tell of young hearts broken?
Do they tell of hopes you cherished
Do they tell how faith has perished?
Do they tell how, night and day,
Cruel Fate has tracked her prey
Do they tell of proud hopes blasted,
And of lifes sweet treasures wasted
Memory Bells are pealing- pealing-
Ger the ruins by the way
Through the minds dim chamber stealing
Will you tell me what they say?
Has your heart lost all it's lightness
Has your life lost all its brightness?
Has your day-star set in gloom
Do you hear the voice of Doom
Mocking every groan that bursts
From the aching heart that thirsts
For the love it meier may share,
And the joys it meier may wear,
For the light by clouds oercast,
For the glories OF the past?
Memory Bells, Memory Bells, softlyoer yu
ringing
Through years ST long silence, hear you
to-day
Soothing to rest with the notes you are wing
ing;
Oh, Memory Bells, shall 1 tell what you say?
Over long years you are bearing me back,
Over each step of the desolate track
Over temptation, and yielding. and sin !;
Over the hurry, and whirl, and din
Of life that was dark and I kneel once
more
At my mothers knee as I knelt of yore.
While she tells me the story, sweet and brief
Of the - Man Of Sorrow, acquainted with
grief"
And hear the lips that have long been clay
Pray for her boy as she prayed that day.
Oh ! Memory Bells, with your weird, strange
power.
You have brought back my mother to me this
hour,
And brought what you boarded with faithful
care,-
Her fervent love and her earnest prayer.
You have stiled in my bosom the tempest
wild,
And made me again Gas little child''

serious ckness and suffering is prevented by
their timely use; and every family should
have them on hand for their protection and
relief, when required. Long experience has
proved them TO be the safest, surest, and
best of all the F'iuS with which the market
abounds- by their occasional use, the blood
Is purified, the corruptiOns of the system eN-
PEELED, distinctions removed, and the whole
machinery of life restored 70 its healthy activ-
ny. Internal organs which become elOgged
and sluggish are cleansed by -1Yer'S Pills,
and stimulated into action. Thus incipient
disease Is changed INTO health, the value of
which change, when reckoned ON the vast
multitudes who enjoy It, can hardly be com
putcd. Their suglr-coating makes them
pleasant To take, and preserves their virtues
unimpaired for any length Of time, SO that
they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and oper-
ate without disturbance to the constitution or
diet or occupation.
flll directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how 20 usc them as q Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
I'ilfs rapidly cure
For Dysyepsia or Indigestion. Hist
les>ness. LaIs;saor. and Loss OF APpe-
TIE, they should be taken moderately to
stimulate the stomach, and restore its healthy
tone and action.

For EthPuInafisFt, GOuf, Gravel,
PaipitafioR Of the Heart, Pain in

DC continuously taken, as required, 10 change
the diseased action Of the system. With such
change those complaints disappear.
For H1FOUSy aud nrSpsicaI SWELL
snsgr,. they should be taken IN large and me-
qIient doses 10 produce the effect of drastic
purge.
For Suppression, n large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired elect 10y
sympathy.
As Dinner TifIH. take one or two Pills 10
prnmOte digestion, and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach
and bowels, restores the appetite, and invigOr-
ates the system. Hence it j. Oilen advanta-
geous where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that
a dose of these I'His makes him feel decid-
edly better, from their cleansing and reno
waiting eject on the digestive apparatus.

Il viii eradicate the disease, and with assur-
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use In any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be OF immense service in the
communities where It prevails. Prevention
Is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this balefHl distemper. This CUREn expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment OF the disease, II taken on the Hrst
approach of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority OF this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittsnts Is, that il contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently IL pro
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are LEFT as healthy as If they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague Is not alone the con-
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety OF disorders arise nom its irritation,
among which arc Neuralgia, IGheuma-
tisna. GOut, Headache, BItndnesa,
TOothache, Earache, Catarrh. AstI-
ma, raIpltatiOn, Painful Affection
OF the spleen, n ysSeries, Pain in the
Bowels, Collie. Paralysis. and derange-
ment Of the Stomach, all Of which, when

valuable for protection than cure; and few

avail themselves Of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
lily Of the Liver, Il is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures,
where other medicines fail.

Como In BsaatlauI Dreams.

Como IN 1344tAAuA OHoaAASs
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
oh, come TO me Oft,
When the white wings Of sleep
On my bosom lie soft;
Obi como when the sea,
In the moons gentle light,
Beats soft on the air
Like the pulse Of the night;
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loveliest blue,
When the dew's on the flower,
And the star s on the dew.
Come In beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come and well stray
Where the whole year is covered
With the blossoms OF May
Where each sound is as sweet
As the coo Of the dove,
And the gales are as soft
As the breathings Of love;
Where beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet blossoms they reach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Obi come and we'll ny,
Like the two-winged spirits
OF love through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand
On our dream-wings well go,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are lending their glow;
And en- bright clouds we'll linger,
OF purple and gold,
Till the angels shah envy
The bliss they beheld.
