tears burst forth afresh.

close. and then
Between my frequent kisses I've pretty

And soon my little patient declared the

To-day my head was throbbing with a
keen and torturing pain,
The fire OF fever seemed burning in
each vein.

stroked my aching head,
And "I'll cure the ache" he told me.

hv Rev. H. :. Gcnevra Lake, resident

and was much appreciated by many 1t
will reappear in a collection of poems
now nearly ready for the press on which
the author has been engaged ior a con
siderable period of time.
BE Thou to me, great Soul OF Love,
A constant minister and friend!
Nav every act that perform
The sphere of truth and light extend.
Fen though the shadows darkly fall,
And hope seems hidden from our eyes,
And passing on beyond recall
Our loved ones climb the azure skies;
Though DER us flow these floods OF grief,
We still would try to trust the way,
And find, at last, some sure relief
And nighttime dawning into day.
We would remember at this hour,
The things undone that need our care
And strive for strength, and hope, and
power,
Nor sink in darkness and despair.
The light of life! The love OF good!
May these within our hearts have sway,
And all. at last, when understood,
Speed the spirit on its way.

In many cases of barrenneSs or child

easily removed by the cure of weakness on
