Wise Sayings

There are some men formed with
feelings so blunt that il can hardly
be said that they are awake during
the whole course Of their lives.
Men are atheistical because they
are first vicious; and question the
truth of Christianity because they
hate the practice.
Had covetous men, as the fable
goes of Briareus, each Of them 100
hands, they would all Of them be en-
ployed in grasping and gathering,
and hardly one of them ia giving or
laying out, but all in receiving and
none i'm restoring.
To be free-minded and cheerfully
disposed at hours of meat, sleep and
exercise, is one OF the best precepts
of long lasting.
Mirth from company is but hut-
tering. unquiet motion, that beats
about the breast for few moments,
and after leaves it empty.
A complete and generous educa-
ton fits man TO perform Justly, skill
fully and magnanimously all the Of
fees Of peace and war.
A man should not allow himself 20
hate even his enemies; because II
you indulge this passion on some oc-
casions,i will rise of itself in others
If you hate your enemies, you will
contract such a vicious habit OF mind
as by degrees will break out upon
those who are your friends, or those
who are Indifferent TO you.
No government, any more than an
will long be respected
without being truly respectable.
A religious hope does not only
bear up the mind under her sufferings,
but makes her rejoice in them.
Happiness is always the inaccessi-
BILE castle which sinks in ruin when
we set foot on il.
BY superior capacity and extensive |
knowledge a new man often rises 10
favor.

Don't smoke in the morning. Don't drink in the

Bad Prayers.

I do not like to hear him pray
On bended knee about an hour,
For grace to spend Alright the day,
Who knows his neighbor has no flour.
I'd rather see him go to mill
And buy the luckless brother bread,
And see his children eat their fill
And lau h beneath their humble shed.
/ do not like to hear him pray,
''Let blessings on the widow be,''
Who never seeks her home, to say,
eff want o'ertake you, come to me-"
1 hate the prayers so loud and long
That's offered for the orphans veal,
By him who sees him crushed by wrong,
And only with his lips doth feel.
do not like to hear her pray
With jewelled ear and silken dress,
Whose washerwoman tolls all day,
And then is asked to work for less.
Such pious shavers L despise;
With folded hands and face demure,
They lift to heaven their ''angel eyes,"
And steal the earnings of the poor.
do not like such soulless prayers;
If wrong, hope to be forgiven,
No angel wing them upward bears;
They're ost million miles from heaven

When Shall 7 see the Sun

Oh, clouds that drift in sorrow
Across the fair blue sky,
Pray tell me if, tomorrow,
The sun will shine on high?
Or, is it thus thev persisted,
The joys so dearly won.
The dream so fondly cherished
When shall see the sun?
My heart desponds in sadness,
None guess what bitter woe
Tortures my soul to madness
No matter where l go.
No bird of hope is singing,
Its song of work well done,
But requiem bells are ringing
When shall L see the sun?
The stars may set in splendor,
In splendor rise again,
New flowers spring newly tender
Beneath the summer rain;
But man, misfortune's plaything,
Once down, lile's favors shun,
Long may we watch the day spring
And never see the sun.
I've lost the flowers [ gathered
In valleys green and gay.
Unwatered, dry and withered
They work nv lonely way;
No stone, though I'm soweary,
To lay my head upon,
And night folds dark and dreary-
When shall see the sun?

Want of Sleep

W dill vi SaCGp
Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alternative and Blood-puritier.
ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. 1t corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness, gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to healthful
condition.
Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
iiis stomach was out of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some i'm
purity of the blood manifest but that
perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Frederick w. Pratt, 424 Washington
street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to
health"
William T. Bowl1er, Erie, Pa, was
cured of nervousness and sleeplessness
by taking Ayers Sarsaparilla for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.
