In youths ef%fulgence, ere the golden light
OF life's young sun had fairly filled his sky,
God, the great commander, bado him "come"-
To join the pure and bid the world good bye q
Hence, hc goes, and to Il world eternal.
Where the just have gone for ages past
He hath but changed his sphere /; the living know
The pure and good are never called the last!
AS fair maid samters all the garden through,
Quilting fairest flowers for the sweet boquet,
Still many plans will the damsels leave,
For the sun 10 ripen at some future day.
So, from lies fair fields this brave young soul
Hath been translated to the bright beyond
A lille time aud then will follow him,
His well beloved, the precious and the fond!

Sleep, then. thou gentle5t of gentle hearts!
Soon thine eyes will ope to heavens golden
light
The brightness of the world that thou has left.
With it compared, will be IS darkest night!

BY ACCORD.

AYERS CATHART1cP PILLS are the best of
all ~purgatives for family use. They are
the product of long, laborious, and sue
cessful chemical investigation, and their
extensive use, by Physicians in their prac-
tice, and by all civilized nations, proves
them the best and most effectual purgative
Pill that medical science al devise.
BEING purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use. In intrinsic value and
curative powers no other Pills car be
compared with them and every person,
knowing the virtues, willemploy them,
when needed. They keep the system in
perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action-the whole machinery oflife. Mild,
searching and effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs.of the digestive ap-
paratus, arrangements of which they
prevent and cure. If timely taken. They
are the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened contributions,
where a mild, but e%ffectual, cathartlc ia

Winter rye and barley are being harvested.

The weather has changed sufficiently so
that the farmers all agree in the opinion
that the chances for injury to the crop by
%unfavorable weather are reduced to about
the minimum. a rainy harvest being about
the only thing Of the kind to be feared.
There seems to be . little danger of
scarcity of help for harvest, and those who
are not in circumstances to buy machinery
this season, are experiencing some difficulty
in hiring their gain cut.
Grain is headed splendidly and is filling
well. The growth of straw is enough for
anyone. The rapid grow h of corn during
the last four weeks astonishes the natives,

feel good, even when the thermcmeter gets
