And so you found that poor room dull,
HDark, hardly to your taste, my dear?
Its features seemed unbeautiful;
But this know-'twas there, not here,
You plighted troth to me, the word
Which-ask that poor room how it heard.
And this rich room obtains your praise
Unqualifed--so bright, SO fair,
So all wreathed perfection stays?
Ay, but remember-here, not there,
The other word was spoken TASK
This rich room how you dropped the mask.

LIVER AND Rv,oOD DISEASES.

BY r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., Author of "Thc
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
A healthy liver s]ecrctes each day about
two and a half pounds Of bile, which CON
tains q great amount of waste material taken
from the blood. When the liver becomes
torpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this
vast amount of @noxious substance, which,
therefore, remains to poison the blood, and
be converted to every part OF the system.
What must be the condition Of the blood
when it is receiving and retaining each day
two and n half pounds Of poison? Nature
tries to work off this poison through other
channels and Organs-the kidneys, lungs,
skin, etc, but these organs become over
taxed in performing this labor in addition to
their natural functions, and caun0t long
withstand the pressure, but become variOusIy
diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood which passes to it
from the heart, and it fails to perform its
Sfice hcalthily. Hence the symptoms Of
bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache,
incapacity to keep the mind on any subject,
impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or ner'
vous feelings, gloomy f~orebOdings, and irri-
liability of temper. The blood itself being
diseased, rs it forms the sweat on the surface
of the skin, it is so irritating and poisonous
that it produces discolOrCd brown spots, PIN
pies, blotChes, and other eruptiOns, sores.
hoils, carbuncles, and scrOfulous tumOrs.
The stomach, bowels, and other organs, can
not escape becoming affected, sooner or
later, and we have, as the result, C~ostive.
ness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, d%iarrhwa.
Other symptoms are common, as bitter or
bad taste in mouth, internal heat, pal pita-
ton, teasing cough, unsteady appetite. ehok-
ing sensation in throat, FLOATING of stomach,
pain in sides or about shoulaers or back,
GOODNESS Of extremities, etc, etc. Only a
few of the above symptoms are likely to be
present in any case at one time. The liver
being the great depurating, or bloOd-Cleans-
ing orran of the system, set this great
" houst ;eeper of our health" at work, and
the foul %corruptiOns which gender in the
blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery
of life, are gradually expelled from the sys-
tenn. For this purpose, D.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, with very small doses
daily of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, is pre-eminently the articles needed.
They cure every kind of hunor from the
worst s~crOfula to the common pimple, hlotch,
or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly
heal under their mighty curative influence.
Virulent blood poisons that Turk in the sys-
tenn are by them robbed of their ~terrors, and
by their persevering and somewhat protracted
use the most tainted systems may be COM
pletely renovated and built up anew. En-
larged glands, tumors, and swelling, dwindle
away and disappear under the influence of
these great r~esolvents.

The following were the poems written 3:
CENTENNIAL HYMN-BRYANT.
Through storm and calm the years have led
Our nation on from stage to stage
A Century's space until we tread
The Threshold Of another age.
We see there, DER our pathway swept,
A torrent stream of blood and fire,
And thank the ruling power who kept
Our sacred league Of States entire.
OH c]heckered train of years, farewell,
With all thy strifes and hopes and fears;
But with tbs let thy memories dwell,
To warn and lead the coming years.
And thou, the De~w-beginning age,
Warned by the past and not in vaint
Write on a f~airer, winter page
The record Of thy happier reign.

TEACHINGS Or THt BEAUTIFUL

1.-The bright aud beautiful-we here behold
Are only shadows of sublimer things,
Stretching themselvts across the vale of

They are but drift-weed. from the grauder
shores
Of Immortality, for which our hearts
Pant in our calmer moods, when moon, or
stars,
Still sea, or golden clouds arrest our gaze,
The sunbeanS lift our thoughts to heaven,
just as
They draw the dew,drops from the earth and
weave,
Them into Grap'ry for the sky. The noun
tains,
Too, are steps that bid us climb to heights
far
Loftier than their proudest SUBMITS reach,
Or eagles wing hath touched. The very
flowers
That fade do prophecy of deathleSs bloom
In yon fair world, where summer never
