The Frost looked forth one still, clear night, And whispered,"Now 1 shall beoutof sight, •So through tlie valley and over the height In silence i'll take my way. I will not go on like that blustering train, The Wind and the Snow, the Hail and the Kain, Who make so much bustle and noise in vain; lint I'll be as busy as they.” Then he dew to the mountain and powder ed its crest: lie lit on the trees, and their boughs he dressed In diamond beads; and over the breast Of the quivering lake he spread A coat of mail, that it need not fear The downward pointof many aspear That he hung on its margin far and near, Where a rock could rear its head. He went to the windows of those who slept, And over each pane like a fairy crept; Wherever he breathed, wherever he stepped, By the light of the moon were seen Most beautiful things. There were flowers and trees; There were bevies of birds and swarms of bees; There were cities with temples and towers; and these All pictured in silver sheen. But he did one thing that was hardly fair; He peeped In the cupboard, and finding there That all had forgotten for him to prepare, “Now, just to set them a-thiuking, I’ll bite this basket of fruit,” said he; “This costly pitcher I’ll burst in three; And the glass of water they’ve left for me Shall’tchick!’ to tell them I’m drinking.” —Hannah F.

Mighty the theme, too vast for mortal ken To compass with its fragment of a song; No fleet Pegasus bears a bard whose pen, Can trace the story of the cycles long; Recounting to the eager, listening throng Tales of ages that with march sublime, Have thundered down the silent halls of time. Vet tho’ the wood bird’s song can scarce be heard, Or understood beyond the forest’s shade, He fain would sing, because bis soul is stirred, Because the sunshine streaming tliro’ the glade Fills him with joy and makes him unafraid. And now the bard—What recks he of his lay So that he sings—if it be grave or gay? Across the bourne ot sunless seas, A weary pilgrim band llails joyously the freshening breeze, That speeds them toward the land. That home of promise—haven blest; Upon whose sacred sod, Fair freedom’s flag shall guard their rest, Their trust be freedom's God. No terrors of the raging main, Can daunt these voyagers bold; Their songs of praise ring forth again, Their prayers are heavenward rolled. And lo! on yon horizon’s brim, Beyond the waste of foam, They see in spectral outlines dim, The land of freedom’s home. .... T»t..H,t., lUllfl And mad Atlantic poured Ilis seething torrents up the strand Where their frail bark was moored. But mid the gloom of cheerless night, Their altar tires glow ; And darkness tied from freedom’s light, Three centuries ago. Beneath the pines that hurl the blast Back from their rocky height, The infant nation dreaming passed The watches of the night. Perchance amid their dreams they see A mighty people rise, Where iioats the banner of the free, Under the Western skies. It may be when the wand of sleep Subdues the senses’ sway, The bonds of time our minds o’er-leap, ’Mill future scenes to stray, it may be from that wilderness, In visions of the night, Some exile sees the storm and stress That dim far eent’ries’ light. Perchance he sees in grim array, IIis kindred o'er the sea; The little band at break of day, Before them on the lea; The bridge at Concord meets his view, lie hears the patriot’s’ gun, Ami bunker’s heights reflect the dew, Of crimson Lexington. It may he that another scene, before his vision passed ; A land of flowers and golden sheen . Ancestral acres vast And lo! amid these vales of rest Hath war his minions hurled; but on each silenced rampart crest l’roud freedom’s flags unfurled. It may be as these visions go before the dreamer’s eyes, Three centuries are spanned—and lo! Thousands of church spires rise. The blight of war has passed away The arts enrich the sod; Where warring armies held their sway, blossom the flowers of God. Three hundred years, what hath been wrought For freedom since that band Of wave-tossed pilgrims hither brought Found refuge in our land. ! Three hundred years—the clock of time With measured heat and slow. Records the hours with ceaseless chime As cycles come and go. What of today—what deeds of might Remain for us to dare, Who stand erect in freedom’s light, Her bounteous gifts to share Shall we not stay tire arm of greed, The power that dare oppress ’1 lie humblest toiler in his need, And stand for righteousness? Grand is the past our sires have made, The future shall we mar ? Their glorious banner—shall it fade, Oppression beour star ? No false gods led the men of old, Duty held them in thrall; Shall we bow down to power of gold, For pottage sell our all? Forbid it! heroes gone before, Who left this heritage. Forbid it! Ye in days of yore, Who read from history’s page. Forbid it! loved onfes now at rest Who led our feet ar ght; Forbid it God! grant this belies:; Direct us in Thy might. Lest come again days of distress, When strife shall shake our land, The school, the pulpit aud the press, For righteousness must stand. When freedom’s banner trails in dust While rears oppress on’s head Then freemen’s swords no longer rust; Their sires for freedom bled. Fit an k II. Colley. Jonesport’s Sardine Industry.

CATARRH The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco and cigarettes or any external or local application, is just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus. Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and vapors which should pass off through the skin, are thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin, producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, much ol which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red, hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the S circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure blood is again coursing through the body the mucous membranes become healthy and the skin active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected. S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange the Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve under its tonic effects.

They are located on the northern spur of San Miguel Mountain, about thirteen miles distant from the City of San Diego, Cal. The waters flow out of the side of a hill, which is crowned with heavy strata of chalky deposit. Unlike other spring waters, that continually form calcareous deposits tnd incrustations which require removing, or if ferruginous and sulphur ous constantly cover the vats with slime, these waters flow over the solid rock without showing the least stain of accumulation of any deposit, the waters remaining any length of time perfect ly clear. The medicinal quality is an antacid, and where alkaline lotions are used m fevers or cutaneous diseases, warm or cold, this water lias no rival. Salt Rheum in aggravated eases, with proper attention to the drinking and using externally, must yield to its healing influences. Patients suffering from gastric catarrh or acid dyspepsia will find by its proper use a tendency to properly acidulate tlni juices of the stomach, to remove abnormal coating and bring live tissue into action. Also persons from same cause or fron im proper digestion or unsound teeth have offensive breath, so much so to render them timid about close conversation, will find the use of these waters as a gargle and drink render the breath pure, sweet and whol* some. Persons m good health will find no better den titice, as the water quiets fermentation and de stroys parasite growth. Hair dressers find in it an excellent shampoo, neutralizing any excess of fatty substance in the hair and removing all dandruff, leaving the hair light and pompadour. , (Signed) R* A. CURTIS.
