We called ber all our own, and love
Fain would have kept her with us stiU.
But God knew beet ; she has suffered loDg
Aua patiently fulfilled His will.
Smooth back the tresses from her brow,
Fold tbe tired bands away to rest ;
She'll need no more our loving care,
Or heed our tenderest carass.
But love that lives when all else dies
Shall triumph o'er her early tomb.
And bo renewed in Paradise,
This shall dispel all thoughts of gloom.
Bring flowers to deck the fair, white brow
And their sweet fragrance 'round ber shed;
Our darling isan angel new,
At home with Christ she is not dead
We'll think of her as gone before ;
She " is not dead but risen" higher
Into that life of endless joy,
And this shall our sad hearts inspire
With abiding comfort ; God knew best
Tbe fitting hour to call her home.
To crown her with eternal rest,
Where suffering can never come.
Surely " lie doeth all things well,"
He chastens, but in tenderest love,
And sometimes takes our loved ones hence,
Doubtless our faith in Him to prove,
He knows within onr heart of hearts.
Our treasures live; and if to heaven
He gathers those to us most dear,
Our love will then to Him be given.
Shall we not trust Him? I there aught
Beneath the sky which e'er will prove
A sure support in life, or death,
Like to our heavenly Father's love '.'

The Peruvian Svrop. which is now so popu
lar, deserves its renown, because it has proved
1 -
itself to be indispensable to all invalids. There
is nothing like it to brin up tbo weakened
powers of a man. Tbe stomach, which is com
pared to the "citadel," is at once acted upon by
it. Its powers are renewed, its work of diges
tion is promoted, and all the blessings resulting
therefrom are supplied by its use. Food is
assimilated to tbe system, and it, in turn, is
strengthened to do its normal work. Tbo busi
ness man whose energies have been run down
by over close attention to business; the pro
fessional man suffering from the same cause :
the seeker after pleasure who bas made too
heavy drafts upon his stock of health, are all
benefited by its Use. In a word, the use of tbe
Peruvian Syrup is recommended to all who fetl
the approach of lassitude and weakness from
whatever cause. Every druggist keeps it.

summer when I was in Canada, I caught a bad
cold in my throat. It became so bad that
often in the middle of my sermon my throat
and tongue would become so dry I could hardly
epeak. My tongue was covered with a white
parched crust, and my throat was much in
flamed. An old lady of my congregation ad
vised me to use tbe Sboehonees Remedy, which
she was then using. The first dose relieved
me, and in a few days my throat was nearly
well. I discontinued the use of it, but my
throat not being well, became worse again. I
procured another supply, and I am happy te
say that my throat is entirely well, and tbe
white cruftt has entirely disappeared. I wish
that every minister who suffers from sore
tbroit. would try the Great Sho.nbonees
Remedy.

Of the several remedies which are prescribed
for the healing of Cuts, Wounds, Bruises
AiurnB, pciuh, Aoomacne, Headache, Dipb
theria and Sore Throat none come up to stand
ard of" Lawson's Curative." It has stood th
test of years.
Honob raosi Ecnorr. It is conceded on all
sides that Dr. Ayer's Fills are above compari
son wan other medicines. Uniting tbe best
elements known to tbe chemist they are par
ticularly effectivo against tbe numerous stom
achic disorders for which they are recommended
as a cure. These Pills are so mild, yet search
ing, that they are often prescribed by doctors
who otherwise do not favor patent medicines.
Indeed, with tho fruits of Dr. Ayer's genius in
the sbapo of Pills, Sarsmarilla, Ague Cure and
Cherry Pectoral, one might with Jmpuaity
travel through the swamps of tropical Amori
or follow Manley throujh the interior of Africa.
