spacious old-fushioned house on one OF

The Old Clock.

"ohi the old, old clock, of the household
stock
Was the brightest thing and neatest;
Its hands, though old, had a touch Of gold.
And its chime rang still the sweetest;
Twas a monitor, too, though its words wers
few,
Yet they live, though nations altered;
And its voice, still strong, warned old and
young
When the voice Of friendship faltered:
Tick tick it said--'quick, quick to bed,
For ten I've given a ,rning;
Upl upl and go, or else yon know
You'll never rise soon in the ruorningr
A friendly voice was that old, old Sl- OK,
As It stood in the corner smiling,
And blessed The time with a merry chime,
The wintry hours beguiling;
But a cross old voice was that tiresome clock,
As it called at daybreak boldly,
When the dawn looked gray o'cr the misty
way,
And the early air blew coldly;
Tick tickn it said-'qucll out Of bed,
For five I've given warning;
You'll never have health, you'll never have
wealth,
Unless you're up soon in the morning"
"Still hourly the sound goes round aud rouad
With tone that ceases never;
While tears are shed for bright days fled,
And the old friends lost foreverl
Its heart beats on-though hearts are gone,
Its hands still move-though hands we lov'
Are clasptd on earth no longer!
Tick tick = it said-'to the churchyaid bed
The grave hath given warning;
Upl url and rise, al look at the skies,
And prepare for heavenly morning"

No other complaints are so insdious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so triaed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough Or cold, resulting
perhaps from trihing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning Of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PEcroRAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should bs
taken in all cases without delay.
