a blessing indeed, by giving ian infant

aud the parents unbroken rest at night.
Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which
works to perfection, and which is
harmless; for the sleep which it affords

ENDU RANCE.

How much the heart may bear and yet not break,
How much the flesh may suffer and not die
I question much If any pain or ache
OF soul or body brings our end moro nigh.
Death chooses his own time, till that is come
All egls may be borne.
We shrink aud shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoing from the cruel steel
Whose edge seems searching Tor the quivefins
life; ''''r'
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, altho' the trembling flesh be torn,
This, also, can be borne.
We see a sorrow rising in our way,
And try to fee from the approaching III;
We seek some small escape, we weep ana pray
Du, when the blow tails, then our hearts are
still
Not that tine pain is Of its sharpness saofn.
But think il can be borne.
We wind our life about another life;
We hold il closer, dearer than our own
Anon it faints and falls 10 deadly strife,
Leaving US stun ned, and strickep D and alone;
But all we do not die with those we mourn
This, also, can be borne.
Behold. we live through all things, famine, thirst,
bereavement, pain all grief and misery
All woe and sorrow life inhcts us WORST
On soul and body, but we cannot die,
Though we be sick and tired. and faint and worn
Lo, all things can be borne!
