POETRY.
Two Leaders.
BY A. @. swINBURNE.

o great and wise, clear souled and high of heart,
One the last flower of Catholic love, that grows
Amid bare thorns their only thornless rose,
From the fierce juggling of the priests loud mart
Yet alien, yet unspotted and apart
From the blind hard foul rout whose shameless
shows
Mock the sweet heaven whose secret no man knows
With prayers and curses and the soothsayers art;
One like a storm god of the northern foam,
Strong, wrought Of rock that breasts and breaks
the
And thunders back its thunder, rhyme for rhyme,
Answering, as though TO eutroar the tides of time
ana bid the worlds wave back-what song should
be
Theirs that with praise would bring and sing you
home?
With all our hearts we praise you whom we hate,
High souls that hate us for our hopes are higher,
And higher than yours the goals of our desire,
Though high your ends be as your hearts great.
Your world of gods and kings, of shrine and state
Was of the night when hope and fear stood higher,
Wherein men walked by light of stars and fire
Till man by day stood equal with his tate.
Honor, not hate, we give you-love not fear,
Last prophets Of past kind, who fill the dome
Of great dead gods with wrath, and wall nor hear
Times word and mans: eco, honored, hence, go
home,
Nights childless children; here your hour is done;
Pass with the stars and leave us in the sum-
In the AthenBam.

DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are so COM
pounded from concentrated principles, extracted
from roots and herbs, as to combine in each small
granule, scarcely larger than a mustard seed, as
much cathartic power as is contained in any larger
pills for sale in drug-stores. They are not only
pleasant to take, but their operation is easy-unat-
tended with any gripping pain. They operate without
producing any constitutional disturbance. Unlike
tive after operation, but the contrary they estab
fish a permanently healthy action. Being entirela
vegetable, particular care is required while using
them.
$500 Re,card is offered by the Proprietor to any one
who will detect in these Pellets any calomel or Other
form of mercury mineral poison, or injurious drug.
They are sold by Druggists.
