They rode over, and Mary was sur
surprised to see the changes which had
taken place. They looked over the
lower rooms first; and over the mantel-
piece in the sitting-room was frame,
and under the glass, in large gold let
tiers, were these words:
mot A DROP MORE, DANIEL"
Mary, on reading these words, said,

took his stand in the front room. When
they returned, Mrs. Akin noticed a
stalwart man standing in the room
with his back to the door, and started
back for an instant. The Quaker said;
1T is friend, Mary
Daniel turned around; but in
the man with the heavy beard and
mustache Mary did not recognize hel
husband. Daniel advanced to the STEP
where Mary was standing and, in g
voice tremulOus with emotion, eX'
claimed:
Don't you know inc, Mary?'

The Farmer Boys.

Oh, give me the joys of the farmer BOYS.
In the meadows and fields so bright
'Mong the cattle and herds and the singing
birds.
And the cotton blossoms white
The note Of the horn as it sounds each morn
Is the music sweet to me:
And the dews distilled from the amber rills,
The gems love to see.
o give me a home, (if ever I roam,)
Where plenty and comfort abide;
And the ceaSeless song of industry's throng
Fills the soul with feelings of pride
! The sweat of the brow, while holding tn
plow,
| Brings riches of vigor and health:
Contentment and peace each day will increase
Thus giving valuable health.
o Knights of the soil. Ye champions of toll
The world is moved by the plow:
| The sickle and fiail-they never will fail
Each man is obliged to allow.
So manfully fight like conquering Knight,
For labor wins the prize:
And the hand of toll, though tanned ana soiled
The bread of the world supplies.
-[B. II. True.

POETRY.
MY SHIPS AT SEA.

How many ships I've sent to sea
Buovant with hope and full OF glee,
How few return to me.
Ships that I've freighted with my all;
Drifted away beyond recall.
But storms will rise and storms will fall,
And ships go down at sea,
How oft. with sails all golden-bright
With sunlight-they have passed from slght
While from the shore have
Kept watch with eager eye,
Until my ships had tloated by
The blue where sea meits into sky,
Until with sails all proudly set,
Just where the arth with heaven met,
They vanished-while fingered yet.
But storms will come, and winds will blow
NV ships are driven to and fro
And some go down at sea.
And some mere wrecks, from out the past
Mere hull, and spar and broken mast,
With all their treasures overcast,
Float back to me.
And then | sigh DER what I've lost;
Weep o'er my life so tempest-tost-
So cheerless-and so drear.
Why trust frail barques unto the sea!
What bring they back but grief TO me,
But grief and pain, and misery,
To rend my soul with fear!
These shattered wrecks the cruel sea
Casts on the shore to torture me
Are filled with phantoms dread.
Phantoms of all I've lost before
OF hopes and joys dead in the yore;
OF hopes and loves that come no more;
And with these dead from unknown shore
Come other dead to make me sore
The cruel, living dead.
But still, forgetting all my pain,
My barques launch upon the main,
To cross the heavlng sea,
Hoping that when all storms are past,
Some sunny port I'll reach at last.
To find with joy, all anchored fast,
My ships awaiting me,

Truth may he violated as much by
silence as by falsehOod itself.
Social rules are no criterion; our own
conscience is the only umpire.
Women are never towards for 9th
ers, though very timid for themselves.
1t is not mans pedigree which we
should care for, but only his virtues.
While we are inclined to forgive toe
little, we are apt to forget too much.
Exercise the most liberal charity to
others, but very little towards your.
self.
Adversely is great educator, and
teaches more truly than all the schools.

Cough is a symptom by which various
diseases conditions Of the throat, broni
chal tubes and lungs manifest them
selves. But.whether it arises from the
irritation produced in the throat ano
larnynx by taking cold from an attack of
Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption,
or from various other causes; nothing
will allay it more speedily or cure it
more permanently than DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t does not
matter whether it be recent attack, or
lingering cough, the Discovery is in
either case equally well adapted for its
relief and permanent cure. In fact, it
will cure cough in one-half the time
necessary to cure it with any other medi-
cine, and it does it, not by drying it up,
but by removing the cause, subduing the
irritation, and healing the affected parts.
No time should he lost in commencing
the use of proper medicine for the re-
lief of cough, for unless this course is
