For the Union
THE GOLDEN WEDDING.

Our Golden Wedding Day has comel Then sit here by
And let me dwell upon the years since we were groom
and bride;
For though the frost has crowned my brow my bosom
With love fervent and fresh, as fifty years ago.
This nupta day, unto my thought like the west
Which backward sends its mellowed light upon the
Whence in my youth maid the synonym of grace
Whose SOUL enriched with every CHARM was mirrored
And in the soul thus bodied FORTH my heart its mistress
knew,
And freely gave its wealth of love- but yet the richer
grew.
Since then, our lives like coors twain have blended
And heart responsive beat to heart while soul has aided
soul.
Affection prompted every act. As steel to magnet true
What love or duty claimed thee thy hand essayed
do;
And next to God in all these years thy love my chiefes
The and shield mid trials sore encountered on
In health sickness, want wealth. mid wintry blast
and storm,
Thy faith did ever make strong, thy love did
warm.
Crowned with that blessing from above my life has
slipped away,
Yet golden shines my evening sum- this second marriage
day.
We know the future, on path, doth cast before
And we must rest in faith Him who doeth all things
right, =
But now, when close of day has come, and darkness
Task will Cod beyond the grave connubalove let die
love which sanctifes the life and to the soul brings
rest,
Which Christ, at Cana's marriage feast, hath by his
presence blest,
And like to Israels piared fire seems sent to be our
Unto the from whence it came and where it must
abide;
For Heaven to would not be Heaven if dw cit there
alone,
And knew not that thy angel form was near the Fathers
throne.
Though robed in light methnks my own thy cherished
soul would know,
Which, love- has been my aid in every step be-
low;
For shall need thy guiding hand within the realms Of
space,
To lead by the waters still, and pastures of that
place.
Couldst thou be happy in that home, if was absent
there,
And all hejoys the Father hath with thee should never
share?
Would thy SOUL mpelIcd by love- seek for its chosen
mate,
And strive to reunte those ties formed in earthly
state?
Our 'Goden Wedding Day. in time with happiness we
And trusting, feel love shall live through all eter-
nifty.
Then unto God, let thanks ascend for all the merces
That in this life waning FAST together we have
Amid Temptations syren song, mid trials, We have
found
His counses reached ear his encompassed
round.
Thank Him, that with parental love, hearts
made to beat,
That even hear the sound of childhood patter
ing feet;
For troops of friends, to gild life, and smooth
rugged spot,
For life ITSELF cheerful mind contentment with our
lot.
And oh give thanks chat we now watt like Simeon of
old,
Prepared to from hence in peace, where His face
behold. -WHITELocK.

He's scooted with another woman 7 exclaim-
cd a corpulent female afflicted with asthma as
she pulled herself through the door of the Cen
tral Station yesterday forenoon. The police
sergeants are never hasty about expressing
their opinion, and the one in charge of the sta
tion looked at the woman and didn't even nod his
head for her to COON. The woman took chair,
or nearly two chairs, pulled away like hack
horse for several minutes, and then, as the tears
came to her eyes, she continued:
I'll never forgive him, and if he's caught
you may sentence him for life To think that
after we've lived together these five years and
better he should desert his own true love to run
away with a girl named Sarah
You refer to your husband, l suppose? said
the sergeant cautiously.
What other woman's husband would be re-
ferring TOP she demanded '0f course it is
my husband-my John Henry Polk?'
And infer that he has deserted you.
That's what he's done-deserted me and run
off with girl named Sarah something or other,
and am left here without frend!
He shouldn't have done tbatp remarked the
sergeant, after long pause.

what he is? And now this is my return ?
She sobbed away for awhile; and then went
on. He called me his darling--his dear gazelle,
and he said that was sugar melted over and
all that and 1 believed it-yes, believed it, like

'And he's gone, h?'

ly believe it; though when l look over the let

shining angel and his monday star, can hard

'Its very sad,' sighed the Sergeant.
You don't know my feelings she replied !;

is wrenched. wish you'd bring him back
here and stand him over there, and leave me
over here and lock the doors for about two mil n

BE calm, madam remarked the Sergeant.
'Carm How can be earn? When think
of John Henry and Sarah and dear gazelle and

She lett her husbands description and went
away, and the police will catch him if they
can.-Detrot Free Press.

Remedy for Burns.

From the United States Gazette.
Editor U. S. Gazette-Dear Sir:-I have SO Of
ten seen remedies for human ills given to the
newspapers, and at once consigned to oblivion,
that have for great while hesitated to pre-
sent this remedy to the public. For fourteen
years I have prescribed it, and witnessed its
healing effects. deliberately say from four
teen years experience, that no disease or in ury
to the human system has more certain reme-
dy than this for the most distressing of all in
juries, that of scalds and burns. The RELIEF is
almost instantaneous; from a minute to d half
an hour, will usually find full relief from
pain. No matter what the extent of the burn,
even if all the skin is removed from the body
The first knowledge had of it was the almost
miraculous cure of a little boy, who fell into
half hogshead of boiling water, prepared for
scalding the brstles from swine. The entire
person and limbs of the boy passed under the
scalding water up to the chin, SO as to scald his
whole neck. On removing his clothes, nearly
all his skin followed from his neck, hands,
arms, chest, back, abdomen, and almost every
bit of skin from his lower extremities. In this
deplorable condition, literally fayed alive with
scaldng water, the remedy was promptly APP
piled, as momentary application until the
physicians should arrive. Two eminent ply
sicians soon came, and on learning the extent
of the scald, pronounced it certainly fatal
case, and directed the boy to remain with the
remedy over him until he should die In six
weeks he was restored quite we'll, with scarce
ly scar on any part of his person or limbs
The remedy increases in value from the fact,
that under almost all circumstances it may be
obtained. 1t is as follows: Take SCOT from
chimney where wood is burned, rub it fne and
mix one part SCOT to three parts or nearly so of
hogs lard, fresh butter, or any kind of fresh
grease, that is not sated spread this on linen
or muslin, or any cotton cloth for easier and
more perfect adaptation. If in very extensive
strips before putting over the scald Let the
remedy be freely and fully applied, so as to
perfectly cover all the burned parts. No other
application is required until the patient is well.
except to apply fresh applications of the SCOT
and iard &c.
In steamboat explosions, this remedy can in
nearly all cases be at once applied, and if done
many valuable lives will be saved, and a vast
amount of suffering allevated.
If you and the corps editorial would hand
this remedy around our country, and invite at
tention to it, and that also those who use it
may give their testimony for or against, feel
assured that in a few months. this most effica-
cious and almost unfailing remedy will be
everywhere known and used in the United
States.

Squilts.


Whom got%ome last night, said Squills, the

she sits propped up in bed reading, and knew
it.
Iwasn't feeling pretty good said squills, for
l had been whitewashed in the convention, sold
ou body, boots and breeches, and felt like
board yard he cat with his back hair curled
the wrong side up.
'Have you got the nomination, Squills, dear?"
knew she had seen the evening paper, but
1 said "No, love-" as mildly as if conventions
and all such snares were beneath my notice.
"Not got the nomination, Mr.. Squills?"
"No Mrs. Squills, not that the Court is aware
of at this present writing. Certainly not.'
'Then what do you expect to get for all the
whiskey you've been pouring down those fell
lows throats?"
'FWhat fellows throats ?"
"Your friends who have been trampling in
and out of my house, Mr. Squills, AMI borrow
ing your poor children's money and running
you into all kinds of disreputable places to hunt
up votes, and sneaking you off into the country
to barbecues and other infamous resorts, pay
ing for buggies, and making ridiculous remarks
which | know you paid the reporters to work
up into a speech. A nice thing ynn ha va dane
Tor y1urself ana me and the poor children, and
then, after all, not to get anything for your
pains. Pm ashamed of you, Mr.. Squills l
would blush for you, but can't, and what's
more, won't. Don't tell me, Squills, that you
don't want me to blush for you, and you sitting
there just as mad as hatfull of hornets. AT
ter you telling me, too, and the dear child, that
she should have a new silk when you got the
nomination. A nice nomination you've got,
and these fellows who took your money and
your whisky just laughing at you, and think
ing what fool for believing them. That's
what hurts me in the tenderest point, Squills."
put out the light, tumbled into bed and pre-
pared to go asleep, but Mrs. squills still kept
at it with forty-Squills power.
After time exhausted nature gave way and
she was silent.
Then felt a singular rigging Of the bed, and
turned around and said:
"Mrs. Squills, is that you? What in the
world are you doing that for? If you want to
laugh, laugh, but don't shake as if you had the
buckague.''
"Oh, what politician you are, Squills p said
she. "Two weeks canvassing, and then to be
5s-l-s-'1sd by tadpole %
"To keol> eace in the family" said squilIs,
II had to promise that dress, or something else,
and as for the tadpole business, what car you

The FORGOTTEN ONE.-"But to think that my
brother could forget me-" cried Charlotte, large
tears coursing down her cheeks, "when have
loved him 90, and longed for our meeting
again !"
"It is because you are changed so much that
he does not remember you; you were very lit
tie when you parted" replied her mamma
"You will always be together now, and know
and love each other as BEFORE"
"But it will always grieve me to think that
he forgot me!' sobbed Charlotte.
"Did you never forget friend?"
II think not, mamma"
"Who is your best friend-the ever blessed,
loving friend who died for you? p
"Jesus Christ, the Saviour"
"Did you never forget him ?"
30 yes! often"
"And yet he loves you far more than you love
your brother. How your forgetfulness must
grieve him !"

us from day to day. Shall we then forget him
