From heaven an angel passed down to the down
cast earth.
Away from home in God, and life as intense as
flame;
Breaking his crystal sphere for lonely burden
of birth,
To bring his kingdom bright to his lower kin
he came.
Out Of loves fairyland to a mother pure came a
child,
OF marvellous powers foretold by the w1stfuI light
Wise because so simple, and strong because so mild
He left not heaven behind, for it shone through
human guise.
Mans garment of clay he donned IS men
looked on his face with amaze,
In few awakening hearts forgotten pulses beat
But the pride of earth was hurt at creature Of
heavenly ways,
And when he let fall pearls, swine trampled
them under their feet Of.
He drank his martyrcup, he toiled to the end then
Again to the realms which earth closures with a
thickness of night;
OF the Jewels dropped in the dust the children had
gathered few,
Oae gave to another charm, lamp OF un-
quenchable light.
Anon the powerful came, and the power of the
And they took them and made them crowns to fl
their own brows with gold,
For the angel they made an image enthroned in a
AS saviour and lawful god, and ordered his might
to be tsld.
The children gazed on the throne, and were hidden
to bow the head,
And the priest cried, Lo, the pearls! and took the
pay for the show
Far OH angel wept, but the eyes of the image
were dead,
And even the sun scarce dared to that painted
corner to CO.
But the world left unsaved and the pearls lost
their spell in the crown,
Set up where none mig reach, and Swallowed
by many cheat:
To one that looks from above earth's glories show
upside down,
So the pearls Iised on high are still in the mire
trampled unoer the feet.

Stomach Bitters, and the cheap and fiery local
bitters which INSCRIPTIONS vendors toist upon
the unwary as medicated preparations with

composed in the main of half rectiied alcohol

Treatment of Scarlet Fever With
Sulphur. .|...

The foreign medical journals quite

ment of scarlet fever by DIR. 81. Pigeon

all the cases in which he employed this
remedy were we'll marked, and the cpl.
dermis on the arms in each case came
away like the skin of a snake. The
patient was thoroughly anointed twice
daily, with sulphur ointment, and five
or ten grains of sulphur given in little
jam three times day. Sufficient sui
phur was burned twice daily, on Goals
on a shovel, to fill the room with the
fumes, and, of course, was thoroughly
inhaled by the patient. DR.. Pigeon as
serts that, under this mode of treatment,
each case improved Immediately, and
none were over eight days in making a
complete recovery,
