A NAME I'm THE SAND.
GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

Alone walked the ocean strand,
n pearly shell was in nay hand,
l stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year and day.
As onward from the spot passed
One lingering look behind cast
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my lines away.
And so methought twill quickly be
With every mark on earth from me.
4 wave of dark oblivion's sea
win sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
Of time, and be to me no more;
fine, my day, the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
And yet with him who counts the sands.
And holds the water in His hands,
I know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
Orall this mortal part has wrought
Ofall this thinking soul has thought,
And from these fieeting moments caugl
For glory or for shame.

This is no quack nostrum, but the
prescription Of regular and successful
city ply ysician Of extensive practice and
reputation; the prescription has been
used for some years IN our own families
with invariable success.
During the late war it was given to
many of our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar-
rhea, caused by change of water, un-
healthy and improperly cooked food,
and in every case it was used with the
best results.
1t is scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care, and we recon-
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy known for the diseases
mentioned.
Every family should have bottle Of
this Cordial ready for immediate use. A
single dose Of only few drops in the
early stage of these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.

Years ago, when we produced large

pies in excellent condition during the
entire year. AT recent agricultural
convention in Utica, N. Y. IA quantity
of flair apples were exhibited Whicn were
plump, fresh and OF good flavor, quite as
good as the apples are ordinarily on the
approach of spring. The apples had
been put up in refuse boxes the year
previous, and in the following manner {;
A layer Of dry sawdust was sprlnkled
at the bottom OF the box, ana then "a
layer of apples placed in, SO that they
do not toucn each other. Upon this was
placed a layer of sawdust, and so on till

ground, where they kept perfectly, re-
tanning their freshness and favor until
