the conditions of health, her retribution is sure

the brain. In women the same cesses,augment-

the suspension OF heavy skirts from the hips, etc,
Invariably produce those weaknesses and diseas-

in some cases consumption. The LIBERAL party

To The MEMORY OF GAIT. II. =. CRAWFORD -
WRITTEN FOR ny DEAR FRIENDS, MRS. ABBiE
sTEARSs AND SOPHIA CUsHMiS.
We laid him away in the early spring,
Close by the other dear form,
hen the first robin began 10 sing,
After the cold winter storm.
Side BY side, they are sleeping today,
Where the waters ripple, aud sunbeAms lay.
We miss him IN every familiar plice,
At morning. at noon, and at night.
Mise the kindly voice, the pleasant face,
The head all necked with white,
Still 1T the window standeth his chair,
But father our father he is not there.
But his beautiful life-so pure and 50 true,
SO gentle, blamcless, and kind,
So full OF rich fIuitage oh there are few,
Who leave 10 much fragrance behind
Would that his mantle on US might All,
And the same rare fragrance cling 10 ne all
His summer is ended. bis harvest is done,
And he gladly entered the rest
Always prepared for the faithful one,
The beautiful sleep OF the blest-
And now when Jesus is binding the sheaves,
lie whispers softly, an more than leaves.
Over the river go boundless and wide
His soul goes drifting along
And the mourning ones who wait this side,
Catch the refrain OF his song
81 would not live Away, ] AK MOTTO stay
Where storm alter storm rises dark o'er the way"
