SPEAK GENTLY.
Speak gently !—it is bettor far
To rule by love, than fear—
Sponk gently—let not Imrsli words mar
The good we might do bore !
Speak gently !—Love doth whisper low
'1 he vows that true hearts bind ;
And gently friendship's accents flow ;
Affection’s voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child !
Its love be sure to gain ;
Teach it in accents soft and mild :—
It may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear—
Pass through this life as best they may,
*Tis lull of anxious care !
Speak gently to the aged one,
Grieve not the cure worn heart,
'I he sands of life are neat ly run,
Let such in life depart!
Speak gently, kindly to the poor ;
Let no harsh tone be heard ;
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word !
Speak gently to the erring—now
They must have toiled in vain ;
Perchance unkindness made them so ;
Oh, win them back again.
Speak gently !—lie who gave his life
To bend man’s stubborn will,
Whence elements were in fierce strife,
Said to them, «« Peace, be still.”
Speak gently !—’(is a little tiling
Dropped in ttic heart’s deep well;
The good, the joy, which it may bring,
Eternity shall tell.
Oty* The vat ions diseases which have their in,
print3 on the surface of the body, may be compared
to signals of distress thrown out by Nature to in
dicate. that the vital organization within needs
cleansing and purifyintr.' The machinery of life
like that ol a clock, will {ret out of order, and we
must set the one right by medicine as we would lu
bricate the other with oil For this purpose in all
cases of eruptive or ulccroua disease, we ran confi
dently recommend Sands’s Sarsaparilla. The cata
logue of its cures is the warranty of its value. It
is not only the proprietors jvho assert, hut all who
have user! it who testify to its efficacy. The rheu
matic patient, whatever confidence he may have
in salt water or sulphur baths, should not neglect
to take Sands’s Sarsaparilla as an auxiliary, and in
that very common complaint, the dyspepsia, it has
also been prescribed with great success.
For further particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets,
which may be obtained of agents gratis. r
