ROSE TERRY COOKE IN CHRISTIAN UNION.


 This is her shadow, nothing more; The eyes that wear no smile for mine, The silent lips that laughed before, The hair without it's wave and shine, This mask that shows no spark divine. How calm and, cold it looks at me! Her eyes were full of shade and sun; A look that rippled like the sea
 Across whose breast the light winds run A gleam, cloud, a tale begun. This is the veil her soul put on .s., 2 .n .7
 To run the weary ways of earth, -... And when her brief, bright race was won
 She laid it down beside her hearth, A worn-out thing of little worth. It is not she that fronts me here
 This speechless aspect, still and cold; I knew her fair, and sweet and dear;
 clinging girl, with heart of gold,
 And hands that clasped with tender hold. Was it gentle prophecy,
 This slight, transparent mould of clay, To let the loving round her see
 How soon that soul must fit away, That futtered, paused, but made no stay !? ''Not here, but risen." Oh, angel song
 Still falling soft on hearts that weep! f This is the dead, whose ashes long ~
 Her Masters messengers shall keep aAss
 Safe in earth's last, undreaming sleep. But she who bore this mortal guise E."
 Has fled beyond our fearful sight; Joyful and strong, serene and wise,
 She lives upon the hills of light,
 And waits us on that heavenly height.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never initiated or eossntsrfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy insstated is of tho highest value.
 AS soop as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family med ieine on earth, many limitations sprang up and began to steal the notices in which the press and people of the country had express.
 ed the merits of H. B., and in every way try. ing to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and cood name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. B., with va-iously devised names in which the word ''Hop" or Hops" were used in way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pre- tended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word Hop or "Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are limitations or commercials. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with . bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists end dealers are warned against dealing in inita- tions or commercials. ...

The little fellow knelt at his mothers knee and prayed God to send him 50 little sis ters and 100 little brothers.

THE SLIPPERY FooTHoLD. Peabody, Mass 1: The Press of this city publishes the following 1: A lady who till recently resided on Central street, in this town, had for more than ten years suffered with pain in her back, which at times was very severe. One morning as she was leaving the house she slipped and fell, striking her back on stone step. She was assisted into the house in great pain, and it was feared seriously injured. She used the great pain-cure, St. Jacobs Oil, instead of what the doctors ordered, and experienced great relief. By continued use of it, she has fully recovered, and now for the first time for years, she is without any pain in her back whatever. .. sz. .... .4-. ..- :. .
