it is being generally acted upon is
equally manifest frofh the Course of

The Game ofLHe.

This life is but game of cards, which
niottals have Co learn,
Each shuffies, cuts and deals the pack;
and each a trump must turn;
Some bring high card to tile top, and
others bring low,
Some hold hand quite Hush Of trunips
while others none can show.
Some shuttle with practiced hand, and
pack their cards with care,
That they may know when they are
delt, where all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupes of
rogues, while rogues each other cheat.
And he is very wise indeed, who never
meets defeat.
When playing some throw out the
ace. the counting cards TO save,
Some play the deuce, and some the ten
and many play the kuave,
Some play for money, some for fun,
and some for worldly fame,
But not until the hands played out,
can they count up the game.
When hears are trumps we play for
love, and pleasure rules the hour,
No thoughts of sorrow check our Joy
in beauty's rosy bower;
We sing, we dance, sweet verses make
cur cards at random play,
And while our trump remains OF top
our game n holiday.
When diamonds chance TO crown the
pack the players stake their gold.
And heavy sums are lost and won by
gambler young and old,
Intent on winning, each his game doth
watch with eager eye
How hs may see his neighbOr's cards
and beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps, look out for
war on ocean and ON land;
For direful horrors always come when
clubs are held in hand,
Then lives are stalxed instead OF gold
the dogs of war are freed -
La our dear country every time the
clubs obtain the lead
Last game of all, is when the spade is
turned by the hand of time;
He always deals the closing hand in
every age and cline;
No matter how much each man wins,
or how much each man saves,
The spade will finish up the game, and
dig the players graves.

What Was His creed2

He left load of anthracite
In font of poor woman's door,
When the deep snow, frozen and white,
Wrapped street aud square, mountain
and moor.
That was his deed. he did it well:
"What was his creedl" / cannot tell.
Blessed Gin his basket and in his store, -
In sitting down and raising up;
When more he got he gave the more,
Withholding not the crust and cup.
He took the lead in each good task.
"What was bis creed?" did not ask
His charity was like the snow,
Soft, light and silent in its fall;
Not like the noisy winds that blow
From shivering trees the leaves; pail
For flowers and weed dropping be-
low.
"What was his creed?" The poor may
know.
He had great faith in loaves of bread
For hungry people, young and old;
And hope inspired, kind words he said
To those he sheltered from the cold.
For we must be fed as we'll as pray.
"What was his creedpn / cannot say.
In words he did not put his trust;
His faith in words he never writ;
He loved to share his cup and crust
With all mankind who needed it.
T..
"WEat was his creedp" He told not
me.
He put his trust in heaven, and he
Worked well with hand and head;
And what he gave in charity
Sweetened his sleep, and daily bread
Let us take heed, for life is brief.
This was hIs ereed-this vas his
belief.

When person is loosing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die if they could
teEain thoir Usual weight. In fact
there would be no consumption If there
was no wasting of the system. The
cause of this loss of flesh is a failure TO
properly digest the food eaten. Nine
tenths of all our Diseases date back TO
some arrangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. 1t acts
by causing the food we eat to be di-
gested so as to do good, for undigested
food does more harm than good. The
Cordial contains food already digested
and is digester of foods as well.
