Chamberiain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
and grip etfectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also certain
cure for Group. Whoopjng cough IS
not dangerous when this remedy IS CIV
en-. 1t contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be given as
confidently to a baby as to en- adult. 1T
is also pleasant to take. When all OF
these facts are taten Into consideration
it is not surprising that people in foreign
lands, as we'll as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it. For sale by The r. B.

The Life and Death Of Nature.

BY THE LATE DR.. J. J.. EAsfERLlNG.
The leaflets. the buds, ana the blossoms
OF spring,
Are beauties that death only lulls with
his sting:
Though gone be their presence, life's
spark will remain,
And smiling, they'll come back next
spring time again.
Time, time, swift swift time.
Eternity claims ev'ry moment OF
thine.
When wave after wave, like the ebbing
of death,
Recede from their shore as if gasping
for breath,
Soon they will return as if coming TO
life.
And keep up till Judgment this alter
nate strife.
Time. time, swift swift time,
Eternity claims ev'ry moment OF
thine.
Yon moon onward moving, doth grace
fully wane
Till lost in the distance, then comes
back the same,
And she will obey natures limited laws
Despite all the scrDbling ofinidel paws.
Time, time, swift swift time,
Eternity claims ev:ry moment OF
thine.
".
Howgran is the sun rising robed in its
light.
Embracing the stars and dispelling the
night,
Yet soon doth he set with blush on
his face,
That night might return with each star
in its place.
Time. time, swift swift time,
Eternity claims ev'ry moment OF
thine.
Though dark clouds may gather and
shut out from view
Yon mantle of nature that wrapts her
in blue,
They'll fee at her nod. or one blast OF
her breath
Like all:other changes that seem to be
death.
Time. time. swift swift time,
Eternity claims ev'ry moment OF
thine.
Loud thunder peals bursting, their fury
attest,
Then fall on the bosom of silence at.rest,
Bespanglea with flashes they rise in
their might.
Returning with heralds they've bor-
rowed from light,
Time, time, swift swift time,
Eternity claims ev'ry moment OF
thine.
Fen natures just equipoise seemeth to
bend,
When rapor arises or dew drop decend:
One end of the poise takes negative
course,
The other, obeyeth positive force.
Time, time, swift swift time,
Eternity claims ev'ry moment OF
thine.
VIII.
Theforces Of nature may terribly shock
When they follow the spade, axe, and
blasting of rock,
Whilst meteors that sport in the heav-
ems doth fall,
In beautiful showers which scarcely ap-
pail.
Time, time swift swift time,
Eternity claims ev'ry moment OF
thine.
TX.
Man may cut down, he may dig, he may
bore,
Yet natures stern laws viii be sure to
restore
Every flaw in her poise, let coss what it
may,
With electric convulsions or storm
lights at play.
