So We Grow Old.

A broken toy; task that held away
A yearning child heart from an hour of play;
a Christmas that nc Christmas idols brought;
A tangled lesson full Of tangled thought;
homesick boy; senior gowned and wise;
A glimpse of life, when 10! the curtains rise
tola over fold,
And hal rs the picture like houndlcss sea,
The world all action and reality
SO we grow old.
A wedding, and tender wife's caress:
prattling babe the parents life to bless
A home OF joys and cares in equal part
A dreary watching with a heavy heart;
And Deutn's dread angel knocking at the gate,
And Hope and Courage bidding Sorrow wait
Or loose her hold;
A newborn grave, and then brave return
TO where the fires OF life triumphant burn
SO we grow old.
A fortune and Il gen'rOus need of fame,
Or direful ruin and furnished name;
slipping of of week and month and year
Faster andfaster as the close draws near;
GRIEF to-day, and with to-morrow's light,
pleasure that transforms the sullen night
From lead to gold;
chilling Winter of unChanging storm;
Spring repiete with dewns and sunsets warm
SO we grow old.
Old to ourselves, but children yet to be
In the strange cities of eternity.

The Years.

Why do we heap huge mounds of years
Before us and behind,
And scorn the little days that pass
Like angels Oh the wind:
Each, turning round a small, sweet face
As beautiful as near,
Because II is so small IL face
We Will not see ii clear.
And so it turns from Us, and goes
Away in sad Iii sdain
Though we could give our lives for it

REMARK ABLE LIZ TIER
From a Gentleman Known and
Honored from the Atlantic

NIessrs WEEKS s POTTER, wholesale Druggists,
Boston, Mass. Gentlemen,-I have for some months
felt it a duty that l owed to suffering humanity to
write you, stating the great benefit that have de-
rived from the use of S4tNFORD's RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH For more than 20 years have been
afflicted with this very troublesome complaint l
have tried all the remedies that l could find, but
without material permanent benefit. Last fall
the disease had arrived at that state that l must
have relief or die. The entire membranous system
had become so intlamed, and the stomach so dis
ordered, that it IA doubtful matter whether /
could go to the Pacific coast, or if l did go whether
should live to come back or not. saw an adver-
tisement of this medicine, and although being very
ncreduous about specifics or nostrums of any kind,
yet in sheer desperation tried this, and at
benefited by it. The changes of climate, chronic
disease of the liver, and my age-over 1o-may pre-
vent my entire restoration but the benefit derive
from its daily use is to me incdlaabie and am hop
ing to be completely cured, and at last arrive at
respectable old age
If tnis statement Of my can be of any service
to those afflicted as have been, and enable you to
bring this remedy into more general use, especially
on the Pacific coast (where it is much needed, my
object in writing this note will be attained

Yellow. for Horses & Animals.

These Liniments simply the wonder of the
world Their effects are little less than marvellous,
yet there some things which they will not do.
They will not cure cancer or mend broken bones,
but they will always allay pain They have straight
ened fingers, cured chronic rheumatism of many
years standing, and taken the pain from terrible
burns and scads, which has never been done by any
other article.
The white Liniment is for the human fam.
lily. 1t will drive rheumatism, Sciatica and Neural
gia from the system; cure Lumbago, Chillblains,
Palsy, Itch, and most Cutaneous Eruptions; il
tracts frost from frozen hands and feet, and the
poison of bites and ssinss of venomous rep
tiles; it subdues sWelings, and allcyiates pain Of
every kind.
For sprains or bruises it is the most potent remedy
ever discovered. The Centaur Linment is used
with great efficacy for Sore Throat, Teothac1a-,
C.sked Breasts, Earache, and Weak Back The
