\SNNSsx s g5r2TI/ stood the test of
SNSNSSNI@l years, with a con-
e stantly growing rep
~ utation, based on its
intrinsic virtues, and sustained by It's re
markable cures. SO mild as TO be safe and
beneficial to children. and vet so searching
as to eftectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and svphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield TO this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures. many of which are publicly known,
of ScrOfuIa, and all scroiulouS diseases,

plants, to which it would not seem especi-
ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep-
STA, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
LeucOrrh0a, when they are manifesto
tons of the scrofulous poisons.
1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. BY renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless Ian
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and new lease of
life.

tasted then Of love and fame,
But hungercd still the same,
chose the sweetest paths knew,
Where only roses grew,
Then fell voice from out the skies,
With warning in this wise
60 my disciple is il meet
That roses tempt thy feet:
THY Master even for his head,
Had only thorns instead.
Then, drawn as by heavenly grace,
left the towery place,
And walked on cutting fiptS and stones.
And said, with tears and %rOans:
90 Lord, my feet, where thou dost lead,
Shall follow, though they hlccd!'
As then saw He chose my path
For discipline, not WRATH

Yet never were my trials done,
But only new begun.
For, when learned to east disdain
Upon some special pain,
He gave me sharper strokes to bear,
And pierced me 10 despair;
Until, so sorely was pressed,
! broke beneath the test,
And fell within the Temptcr'S power;
But, in the evil hour,
Bound land and foot, I cried: 4" Oh Lord!
Break Thou the threshold cOrd.'
And, while my soul was at her prayer,
He sn0tchcd me from the snare,
then drew nigh the gate Of death,
Where, struggling for my breath,
! shook my coward knees in fear,
.AghaSt to stand so near!
Yet, while | shiycred in the gloom,
Down gazing in the tomb,
go Lord" cried, "hcar Thou my sin,
And ] Will enter in.'
But lie by whom NY soul wa, tried
Not yet was satisfied
For then he crushed me with a bow
OF more than mortal WOe,-
Till bitter death had been relief
To my more bitter grief.
Yet, bleeding, painting, in the du,,
! knew His Judgment just;
And, as a lark with broken wing
Sometimes has heart to sing,
So I, all shattered still could raise
To Iii, dear name the praise,
Ilenceiorth l know a holy prayer
To conquer pain and care;
For, when my struggling flesh grows faint,
And murmurs with complaint,
My spirit cries; THY WILL lie DONE"
And finds the victory won!

From out those bright blue eyes;

Until you think

With great shout,

And see what have done;

With Joyous sound, they echo round
Behold the winter king.

And Ger the prairics ride;
With eyes SO bright, and hearts so light
As swiftly on they glide.

And let the gay bells ring,

Twas Young, aud Harry was strong,
The Summer was bursting from sky and PLAIN
Thrilling our blood as we bounded elong,
I'm a picture flashed and dropped the rein
A black sca-creek, that, like snake,
Slipped thro a low green scdge--
An etbiur tide, as OF summer lake,
A bu; and woman by the cage.
Her back was bent, and her hair was grey,
The wrinkles lay close on the withcrcd face;
Children were buried and sold away,
The Freedom had come to the last of the race
she lived from neighbours hominy pot
There was praise in the hut when the pan
passed by;
FROM its floor Of dirt the smoke curlcd out
Where the shingles were patched with bright
blue sky.
"Aunt Phiilis, you live here all alOneE

"sure rs a child" Ia quiet tone,
Nc and Jesus, Massa," she said.
! started, for the place was all aglow
With Il presence had not seen before;
The air was full of music low,
And the guest divine stood at the door,
Ave, it was there that the Lord of life,
Who seeth the widow give her mite,
4hnd watch'6 this slave in her weary striic,
Had showR Himself TO her longing sight.
The hut, ard the dict the rags and the skin,
The grorclng want aid the darkencd mind
looked on this, sut the lord within
O,Iwould what He saw in me to find
A childlise SOUL whose faith had force
To see what the angels see in bliss;
She lived, and the Lord lived, so, OF course,
Thee lived tGgcthcr--she knew bat this
And dae life that had almost dcspised,
III IN itt en- mn nd co law
Had slready borne fruit the Lord so priced,
Tat he loved to come near and see it grow.
No sorrow for her that the life was done;
a few days more of the huts unrest,
A little while longer to sit In the sun,
Then Ne would be host and shs would be guest
ARd up above, if an angel of light
Should stop on his errand of love some day,
And ask who lives in the mansion bright,
