Wbat Inspiration In the word!

A bright and magic spoil.
Tho worry word doth thrill the soul,
Like some bright fancy dream,
And seems forever breathing forth,
A pure and sparkling stream.
a breeze is blowing Ger tho hill,
Aud seems to whisper lifel
We list and turn awhile away
From darkness and from strife.
Life! hear the birds sing gladly out,
Life! echoes oil around,
While nature swsetly adds her voice,
And clearly swells the sound.
But then, this life, tho very bright;
Will very soon Do Ger,
Yet there will be brighter life,
Upon the other shore.
The flowers live forever there,
The streams forever flow,
And on life's river We will glide,
Aud live forever more.
The 'tpearly gates" and "golden streots,' -
Win brightly beam as now,
While lie will deeply be enstamped
Upon our every brow.
So while thro' life We gently glide,
I'm mingled peace and love,
Hope sheds her brightest beams around,
Tia life of JOY above.

A SHARP REroRr-An old lady of DR..

long for her ideas of ministerial humility,
and after long haranguo on the sin of
pride, she intimeted that she had brought
her scissors with her and would be pleased
If her dear pastor would allow her to clip
them down to her notions Of propriety.
The doctor no: only listened patiently to
her lecture, but handed her over the Offend
ing white bands for her to operate upon.
When shc had cut them to her satisfaction,
and returned the bibs, it was the doctors
turn. "Now," said he, tiny good sister,
you must do me good turo Also" eyes,

have something about you which is a great
deal too long and causes mo no end Of

is it? here are the scissors, use them as you
please" "Comc, them" said the sturd,

AMMONIA FOR HEADACHE is
nothing that will relieve the headache so
eficaciously as warm water, with a
few drops Of spirits of ammonia mixed
with it. Have the water as hot as the hand
can bear it, aud battle the head freely with
che solution; it acts like a charm. Tho
same remedy is good for bruises or blows on
the head or any part Of the body; it takes
out tho soreness and the black and blue
spots quickly. know nothing that is 90
eficacious, and it is very simple and quiet
to apply. The bumps that are always
happening to children can be cured in a
few minutes BY Thorough application Of
ammonia and hot water, and just as soon as
the pain is gone they are ready to ran and
try 1t over again.

Harry, | will take your boy, aud whatever my

man, with his latest breath thanked the compsn

described by an eye witness rs touching beyond
