The Four Anchors.

They cast four anchors out OF the stern, anu
wished for the day.-Acts q: y.
The night is dark, but God. my God,
Is here and in command;
And sure am when morning breaks
shall be lat the land"
And since / know the darkness is
To Him Us sunniest day,
I'll east the anchor PATIENCE ont
And wish, but wait for day.
Fierce drives the storm, but winds and waves
Within His hand are held,
And trusting in Omnipotence
Ny fears are sweetly quelled.
wrecked, I'm in His faithful grasp,
I'll trust Him. though He slay;
SO, letting go the anchor FAITH,
I'll wish. but wait for day.
Still seem the moments drcary. long;
rest upon the Lord:
muse on His eternal years.
And fast upon His word,
His promises, so rich and great,
Are my support and stay;
I'll drop the anchor HOPE ahead,
And wish, but wait for day.
o wisdom infinite! o light
And love supreme, divine!
How can feel one fluttering doubt,
In hands SO dear as thine?
I'll lean on Thee. my best beloved.
My heart on Thy heart lay;
And casting out the anchor LOVE,
III wish and wait for day.

During the attacks I ex- perienced severe pain accompanied by what can not describe better than by calling it drawing in sensation. The agony of it almost beyond en- iurance. None of the usual medicines employed iu such cases had any effect upon me. From time to time was laid up and unable to attend to my blsi- ness. This covered period of a year.
 Finally Mr Lloyd, druggist of this city, suggest ed your FAVORITE REMEDY as an excellent thing for the Liver had not taken the whole of the first bottle before found decided relief the pain passed away, and to my delight re9ained the power to enjoy and digest my food without the former distress. Nature seemed to be set going again. cannot better express my appreciation of Dr. David Kennedys FAVORITE REMEDY than by telling you that since my personal knowledge of its virtues have recommended it to great many of my friends and acquaintanees.
