When you SEQ q man going home

When a man receives n bill for

When a man goes home and finds

and his wife crusading, it is likely to
be cloudy
When man promises to take his

When a man saves his cigar money

DESERTED.

The river flowed with the light on its
breast,
And the waves went edding by,
And the round, red sun went down In
the West,
When my loves loving lips to my lips
were prest,
Under the evening sky
Now weeping alone by the riverI stray
For my love has left me this many day;
Left me to droop and die.
AS the river flowed then, the river flows
still,
In ripple and foam, and spray.
On by tie church, and round by the
And under the sluice by the old burnt
And ont by the fading day;
But I love it no more, for delight grows
cold
When the song is sung and the tale is
told, ...
And the heart is given away.
Oh river, run farl Oh river, run fast!
Oh, weeds, float out to the sea!
For the sun mas gone down on my beau
tiful past,
And the hopes that like bread on the
waters cast,
Have drifted away like theel
So the dream it is fled, and the day 1t is
done, ..-......
And my lips will murmur the name of
Who will never come back to me.

BAD BLOOD! !

"A corrupt tree" saith the Inspired
volume, "bringeth forth not good fruit"
nor can corrupt blood impart health,
beauty and good flesh, or spirits. 1.-THE
Blood is the Life" and health can only
he enjoyed in its full perfection where
the blood is kept in pure and uncor-
rupted state, hence the necessity Of pure
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant
spirits, long life and happiness.
An impure condition of the blood,
manifests itself in different forms of
diseases, such as letter, Salt Rheum,
Scald-head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Boils
Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules,
Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin,
Scurf, ScrOfulas Sores and Swellings,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tu-
mors, Old Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic
Affections of the Skin, Throat and
Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach,
Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition Of things something
is needed at once to cleanse the blood,
and neutralize the insiduous poison that

EATEN BY AN ALLIGATOR. - A
Queensland paper gives the following
account: Early in April boy, aged
about fifteen years, the son Of Mr.
Porter, of Euri Greek, was dragged
by an alligator into a water-hole
close by. his fathers house. 1t ap.
pears that this boy and his elder
brother had been engaged in getting
pigs into o stye, and that the poor
lad who is gone went into the edge
of the water-hole to wash o green
hide rope which they had been using
with the pigs. While he was so en-.
gagged his little sister, who wes sitting
on the bank hard by, saw the alliga.
tor seize the boy by the leg and drag
him under the water. She gave the
alarm, but it was, of course, too late
the brute had dragged the boy down
to the bottom. and nothing more was
seen of him for several days, when o
leg and q portion Of his clothing
f1oated to the surface. A few days
later the same paper thus records the
destruction of the alligator. The
brute was over twelve feet long, and
of very great ago, probably over one
hundred years. This was indicated
by the condition of his monstrous
teeth, many of which were gono alto.
rether and the remainder yer much
worn. He also showed scars and
severe marks of former battles, hav.
ing lost considerable portion of ono
side Of his snout, probably bitten of
by some rival alligator. Inside the
stomach was found the skull and
some of tho bones of the boy. Among
the bones were fund some Of the
vertobre, already much worn by the
action of the stomach, and also soft
ened, probably by the gastric juice.

An Agricultural Ode.

Far back in ages
The plow with wreathes was crowned
The hands of kings and sages
Entwined the chaplets round,
Till men Of spoil
Disdained the toll -
BY which the world was nourished,
And blood and pillage were the soil
In which their laurels fourished. 70
Now the world her fault dispairs
The guilt that stains her story !.
And weeps her crimes amid the cares
That forms her earliest glory.
The throne shall crumble, N
The diadem shall wane,
The tribes of earth shall humble
The pride of those who reign
And war shall lay
His pomp away;
The fame that heroes cherish
The glory won in deadly fray
Shall fade, decay and perish,
Honor waits DER all the earth,
Through endless generations, f
The art that calls the harvest forth,
And feeds the expectant nations. ;
-Wna. C. Bryant.

The Newspaper.

Science, it may be said, has shown
rs how to make a newspaper the
cheapest created article in the world
AS an example of workmanship, the
damp, fresh journal that lies on the
breakfast-table is the highest type Of
what capital, industry and skill can
produce in the way of cheapness.
The needle, the common pin, the steel
pen, in their way show o similar re-
suit. But it would be far easier for
the unskilled person to make o nee
die, pin or pon than to compose
a newspaper. In one we see what
the perfection of machinery will do
in the way of fneness and cheapness
of workmanship. But the newspa-
per, says an exchange, represents the
achievements of machinery and the
results of energy and patient thought
combined. For less than the cost Of
q cigar, loaf of bread, or q cup of
coffee, the journalist sells the com.
bined efforts Of hundreds Of men.
To enable him to make his newspa-
per, his ministers 60 to all quarters OF
the world. And so perfect has the
relation between the true journal and
the people become, that great news
paper is no more and no less than q
great commonwealth. 1t has the re-
sponsibility and many of the attri-
biutes of sovereignty. There is no
such power for good or evil as now
rests in the hands of the journalist.
Every day he scatters bis sheets
broadcast 10 the four winds, to fall
like seed upon barren and stony as
we'll as upon fertile ground, to bear
fruit which may be wheat and may
be tares. We do not say that in all
cases this labor is honestly, carefully
done. We are we'll aware that thou
sands Of tares are sown every day
ISLANDERS, falsehoods, disparagements,
reckless statements that bring forth
sorrow and heart-burning. But we
do feel that every year there is less
and less of this, that journalism is
becoming moro and more q profes'
sion, that the truo editor feels that he
is in some sense a judge, and that it
will be woo unto him if he deals un'
Justly. So that in a moral sense, as
a mighty influence acting directly
and incessantly upon public opinion
as we'll as in O social and busincss
sense, as tho instrument Of news and
