A* one who walking in the forest sees
A lovely landscape through the parted
trees,
Then sees it :iol for boughs that intervene,
Or us we see the moon sometimes revealed
Through drifting clouds, and then again
concealed
Bo I beheld the scene.
There pre two guests at table now ;
The king, deposed, and older grown;
iS'o longer occupies the throne,
<Th?.crown is on his sister's brow ;
A princess from tins Fairy Tales,
The very pattern yir! of girls,
All covered and embowered with
curls, I
Hose tinted from the Isle of Flowers;
And siiiUujj with soft silken sails
FronviSr offsDreamland into ours,
Above their bowls with rims of blue
Four azure eyes of deeper hue
Are looking dreamy with delight; j
Limpid as planets that emerge
Above the ocean's rounded verge.
Soft shining through the summer
Night,
steadfast they gaze, yet nothing see
lievond the horizon of their bowls;
Nor care they for they world that rolls
With all.its freight of troubled souls
Into the days that ar^ to be.

Again the tossing boughs shut out the
scene, ^ ?
. Again the drifting vapors intervene,
Ainl the moon's pallid disk is hidden
ijuite ;
And now I see the table wider grown,
?,1 o <.nKI.li. WMtur thrown, f
ii'uuu a -- , j
Dilates a ring of light.
1 see the jable wider-grown,
I sec it garlanded with guests,
As if fair Ariadne's crown
Out of the sky had fallen down :
Maidens within whose tender breasts
A thouHand restless hopes and fears, j
Forth reaching to the coming years,
Flutter awhile, then quiet lie,
Like timid birds that fain would fly,
But do'not dare to leave their nests
.f And youths who in their strength
f elate *
Challenge that van and front of fate,!
Eager as champions to be
In the divine knight errantry
Of youth, that travels sea and land
fteaking adventures, or pursues
Through cities and through solitudes!

What see I now? T}ic night is fair,
The storm of grief, the clouds of care,
The wind, the rain, have passed away;
The lamps are lit, the tires burn
bright,
The house is lull of life and lightIt
is the Golden Wedding day, jj.*
The guests come thronging" in fcrnce
more,
Quick footsteps sound along the floor.
The trooping children crowd the stair,
And 1 :t and out aud everywhere
Flushes along the corridor
The sunshine of their golden hair.
On the round table in the hall
Another Ariadne's crown
Out of the sky hath fallen down ;
More than one Monarch of the Moon
Is dramming with his silver spoon ;
The light of lovo shines over all.
O fortune, O happy day!
The people sing, the people say.
The ancient bridegroom and the bride.
Serenely smiling ou the aceno.

Hard times prevail all over the coutiy,
the de-tiuuion in Jiew York city is
>ar.l to be something appalling. JN'everin U
lie history of that city lias there been
such a constantly increasing army ol

>f crime and evil doing is owing to the j "
ncrease of pauperism. The rich have re-t
iponded generously! wealthy ladies
iave gone in their carriages, and person diy
bestowed money, and given other j J
3eip; but the attenipts have been spas-;*

picked up on the streets who have been j fj
,uriit;u aunu jiiiu mi; slicuuj, uvuausv wi t

jeither food, clothing nor shelter. It is
aow a serious problem with thoughtful

Most of American schools entirely
neglect this very important part of
their proper function. Many young
men, t herefore, come to the university
with undeveloped muscles, a bad carriage

Nearly all diseases originate from Indigestion
and Torpidity of thw Liver,
and relief is always anxiously sought
[after. If the Liver is regulated in its
action, health is almost invariably secured.
Want of action in the Liver
causes Headache, Constipation, Jaundice,
Paiu in tha Shoulders, Coughs,
Chilis, Dizziness, Sour Stomach, bad
la.':te in the mouth, bilious attacks, pal
pitationot the heart, depression or smr'
its, or tl?e blues, and a hundred other
symptoms, for which SIMMON'S LIVER
REGULATOR is the bent remedy
that has ever been discovered. It acts
| mildly, effectually, and beings simple
j vegetable compound, ciui do no injury
in any quantities that it may be taken.
It is harmless in every way ; it has been
! used fur KJ years, anil hundreds of the
Rood and great from all parts of tho
jcountry will vouch for its being the purest
and best.
Simmons'Liver Regulator or Medicin*
Is harmless,
Is no drastic violent medicine,
Is mire to cure if taken regularly,
Is no intoxicating beverage,
Is r faultless family medicine.
Is the cheapest medicine in the world,
Is given with safety and the happieat
results to the moat delicate infant,
Does not interfere with business,
Does not disarrange the system,
Takes the place of (Quinine aod Hitters
of every kind,

shade is furnished with all the fixtures
complete, and only requires two
lath nails or small pcrews to fasten it
up with. iShould they become soiled
by flies, they can be spread on a table,
washed and made as bright as new,
and will last for years. This style of
shade is much superior to cloth
shades. In warm weather, when the
window in raised, the shade admitfi

favor, .as they require no rollers, each
shade being complete, and any one
can drive two nails by which to hang
