she has gone to her long rest, and the
sheerless house tells tale of the com
fort and restful JOY her presence and
industry had created, the husband is
so forlorn and tossed about among hir-
ed housekeepers and boarding house,
like ship at sea when the winds are
contrary, that he is glad to welcome
most warmly a second guardian of his
happiness at home. He even doesn't
mind telling her once in while what
choice morsel she is. He has lived
wretched and alone long enough to
know how to act the fool gracefully.
He does not mean his soft attentions
any disrespect to his first wife, nor is
it: he has simply learned the value ofa
good wifi by having lost one, and is so
overjoyed at the paradise regained"
that he cannot conceal his bliss.
A widower of forty is most too young
to finish his journey alone, but let him
all the time remember the best interest
of his children. Let him fearlessly
speak of his motherless children to any
woman he may think of selecting to
fill her place; that his sacred duty as
a father requires him to protect his
children. If his judgment and affec-
tiOn cannot centre on someone suitable
to fill the vacant place in his home,
then he must wait until they are
grown and settled for themselves. This
comes very soon; it seems as if chill
dren were only loaned us for short
time, and then they are gone, and then
the old folks are left travelling the down
hill road of life alone A man should
see that the property interests of his
children are secured. Many a man

money to slip from his own family

II he is poor he will expect his children
to take care of him, and if he is rich he
should remember them also, and pro-

1t seems like a hopeless task to attempt
to advise widower, for am told they
don't take kindly to advice, and if their
minds are made up, the floods of Mag
ara could not turn them from their
course. They are probably about like
other men in this particular, for, if
there is one thing more than another
in which people are determined to do
as they pleased, it is in the natter of
getting married.

THE RING.

Cynthia regarded the flashing little
circlet with evident delight. 1t was
one of many that sparkled on her deli
cate white hand, but it bore signifi-
cance beyond the others, it meant the
clipping of butterfly wings; the waning
of the homage due to a beautiful and
marriag geable heiress, and which, though
often made the subject of scornful wit,
was ever accepted and eNceptable; it
meant the ratification of sweet and
binding contract with the chosen one
the man to whom wealth was no Oh
ject. and rank no allurement and for
that reason, it dazzled eyes familiar with
radiance Of gems.

need of some blood purifying strength
invigorating and health producing me-
dicine The real merit of Hoods Sar-
saparilla is the reason of its widespread
popularity. Its unequalled success is
its best recommendation. The whole
system is susceptible to the most good
from a medicine like Hoods Sarsapar-
lila taken at this time, and we would
lay special stress upon the time and
and remedy, for history has it recorded
that delays are dangerous. The re-
markable success achieved by Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the many words of
praise it has rcdeived, make it worthy
of your confidence. We ask you to
give this medicine fair trial.

URANIA.

BY PASTOR FELIX.
Say, Muse divine, Can it be true
Thou with disdain dost mortal view,
And lookest on us from afar
Till we grow nobler than we are!
Darkness with cloud thy radiant men,
Since all our poor pretence is seen:
"Your deeds ignoble We will do;
Vainly for me your lips may sue!
When We yourselves no longer boast
We clamorous, self-advancing host!
When We to shrines, not markets, seek,
Some list'ning soul may hear me speak,
All, gracious Muse! serenely sill
Smile on from thy tempted hill!
Scorn not so bitterly! Thy love
Perchance may nobler passion move.
Descend from heaven, and set us free;
Turn our forlorn captivity;
Make to the soul thy strong appeal,
And lead us up to lOftier veal
Is Chivalry feigned romance"
Are heroes fame ana poets trance
A diving strain. fading STAR
Descend. in some new avatar!
Let some new voice thrill thro' the land,
Whose power shall willing hearts comma
And, since the cycle now is DER,
Be the song loftier than OF yore.
Once thou of old didst poet know
Whose mien the world had marked with woe;
TO blissful seats from dread abodes
He walked with large discourse of gods.
A fire within would smouldeing rise
To the fierce fountains of his eyes;
Earth might his lofty soul distress,
Which thou ddSt fill with lOveliness.
If thou shouldst send his like again,
And mould so godly life with pain,
Would he not point some wiser goal,
And wider circles yield the soul:
So didst thou on thy Spencer smile:
His eyes like summer stars begulle,
And all his dulcet tones rehearSe
1.-The magic of the universe"
To thee the sightless eyes were turned,
To thee the soul majestic burned:
All, Heavenly Muse! Cahst thou delight
In less than Miltons starry flight?
Yet to some humber soul appear.
With yearnings toward thine aether clear;
Within thy beauteous world create
The joyous singers bright estate.
If hidden from the worlds vain eyes
Some song delighted spirit lies,
Lay thine inspiring touch: "For me
Thou look'st" Ilong hare sought for hee''
Frown not upon us from sfar!
We would be nObler than are,
Would stoOp unsoil'd, unshamed would soar,
And merit thy di~iain no more.
