The pomp Of pride tlat seeks the pail.

All, let the tear OF sorrow start
And honor in ourselves and Kim
The great AND tender human hcarti
Through many a night of want aad woe
His frenzied spirit wandered wild
Till kind disaster laid him low,
And heaven reclaimed its Maynard child.
Through many a year his fame has grown,
Like midnight. vast&l like starlight, sweet,
Till now his genius fills a throne,
IS And nations marvel at his feet
One need of justice long delayed,
One browning grace his virtues crave
All, take, thou great and injured shade,
The love that sanotfies the grave!
Gods mercy guard in peaceful sleep
The sacred dust that slumbers here,
And while around this tomb we weep
God bless for us the mourncr's tear!
And may his spirit, lowering nigh,
Pierce the dense cloud of darkness through
And know, with fame that cannot die.
He has the worlds affection too.

Effect of sickness on the Finger Nails.

The finger nail is very enduring
evidence of disease. If there has
been an acute rheumatism in the sys-

sharply. In typhoid fever, where
the disease comes on gradually, there
as no such sharp cutting of the nail.
