Waiting.

With waiting and wishing our courses we pave;
We wait for the port as we battle the wave:
'Tis waiting forever from cradle to grave.
Waiting for morn serene in its light;
Waiting for MONDAY, so brilliantly bright
Waiting at eve for repose in the night.
Waiting for zephyrs in spring time that blow;
Waiting for summer and flowers that grow
Waiting for winter and swift-falling snow.
Waiting is ever the bosem's refrain.
In moments of pleasure and moments of pain;
Waiting. though stricken again ard again.
Waiting in childhood for youths joyous time
I'm waiting" says Youth ''but Ill certainly clint
The top Of the ladder on reaching my prime
In manhood awaiting the time when he may
Find rest on a calmer happier day,
When age shall relieve from the worrying fray.
Waiting when Fortune sheds brightly her smile
When choice are The pleasures the pathway be
guile,
There always is something to wait for the while.
Waiting in poverty, anguish and grief;
Waiting tor heaven to send us relief,
Telling the heart that the trial is brief
Aye waiting for joys that will never appear
Waiting for voices we never shall hear;
Waiting for moments that never are near
Waiting when shining and worn in the strife,
With pentent throbbngs the bosom is rife,
Waiting the dawn of holier life.
Waiting at last for the spirits release;
Waiting a rest in the Dwelling of Peace,
Where waiting and 10 ging forever will cease.

Cold w inters.

The unusual severity of the present winter
naturally recalls the remarkably cold winters of
the past Statistics show that this season has
been steadily growing mder for many years
There seem to be no such winters no W as there
were ~ or 81 years ago, owing, no dou bt to the
cutting down in this country of the native forests.
the planting and growth of towns and cities, and
the general development of the land. During the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries there were
IN the old World some winters bitterly memorable
In Britain, in 1864, the Thames was frozen TO the
depth OF 6l inches, and nearly all the birds in the
United Kingdom perished. In 1862, the cold was
sc intense in Southern Europe, especially in Aus
trla, that wolves were driven by hunger into Vi
emma where they attacked beasts of burden, and
even human beings
The winter of 1880 was very severe in this
country. The bitter cold began the middle of
November. and continued until the close of Feb
ruary. The suns rays were not warm enough to
melt the snow, which lay ON the ground almost
hive months, so thick that it very hard to get
from place to place All ordinary bodies of water
were ice bound Domestic fowls and wild turkeys
perished by thousands, so did deer and buffalo
and wolves and panthers, mainly from lack of
their natural food buried under the snow. The
Northern and Western rivers were fettered by the
frost, and the Cumberland was so firmly frozen. as
far South as Nashville that emigrant trains passed
securely over the river. The Delaware opposite
Philadelphia ontaincd ice of or 4 feet and Long
Island Sound and the Chesapeake was frozen over

PROF. ED|S0N'S
P OILY z @ r M

After much persuasion, Prof. Edison has been
prevailed upon to give to the world his truly won
derful discovery for alleviating pain For years he
suffered from neuralgic pains, unable to find any
remedy among the hundreds which he tried that
would give him permanent ease. Finally he became
convinced that he must become his own physician
and seek, by experiments, for the desired relief He
had taken all the well known sedatives, which gave
only temporary relief, and produced nervousness,
loss of appetite, &c. He sought for a combi-
nation of such remedies as would, by outcard an
pcation, cure him of his distress and at same time
not be injurious to his system.
Trials and experiments followed this dertimin;-
tlon until he at last produced Il compound which,
by application, entirely subdued all pain and allowed
his system to recuperate, and throw off the disease

POLYFORM.

Gratified with the result upon himself, he tested
his discovery upon others who suffered from merry
GUS pain, and in every the relief was perfect
The cures performed by his gifts of Polyform be-
came so celebrated and the demand upon his time
and attention great, Prof. Edison finally yielded
to the solicitation of those who knew the merits of
his preparation and allowed company to be form
Ell for the manufacture and sale of Polyform under
his supervision.
The number of remarkable cures, and the suffer-
ing Polyform has saved, attest the wisdom and phil
antrophy of this course.
No higher testimony could be adduced than the
certificate of Prof. Edison, who authorizes the pub
lication of the following:

Riccyiilc Reasoning.

The question has been often ask
cd, can men BE- found among tile
producing classes capable OF coping
with the friends Of the nlonopolists in
our legislatures. Glenni W. Scofield
late member Of Congress. once said
that "big-bugs arc the biggest hum.
bugs ever imposed upon the intclli-
gence Of u nation" The time is fast
approaching when men will not be
measured by their scholastic grada-
tons but by their latent force and
moral powers.
Long-purses and high-birth are no
longer taken by the intelligent class.
rs rs tokens OF inherited virtue,
besides the men whom the nation
delight to honor are without except
ion found upon the side OF justice.

claim that it infringcs on personal

an old fogy argument not worthy Of

and rights OF the individual mus,
not be allowt i to interfere with the
good Of society, and further il must
be true that the aggregate wisdom,

the individual citizen wants than lie
