Building on the Sand.
BY EI.IZA COOK.
Tis well to woo, 'tis good to wed,
For ao the world has done,
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But hove a care, ye young and fair?
Be sure ye pledge with truth?
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond thh days of youth.
For if ye give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll tind you played the unw ise part
And built upon the sand.
Tis well to save, tis well to have
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of the shining stuff?
For charity ia cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust,
'n what the deep mine brings :
We cannot live on yellow dust,
Unmixed with purer things.
Acd he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand,
Beside his coffer-chest and own,
'Tis " built upon the sand."
Tis good to speak in kindly guise,
And sooth where'er we can,
Fair speeches bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words.
Let deeds with language dwell,
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.

For those who talk yet fail to do,

WA nail Junior.
tar There is a capital good story told
of a couple of Western hunters, which is
well worth a place in our depository. Their
names were Hodman and Cowan ; and both
were excellent shots, and both not a little !
given to boasting of their skill.
One day they Went on a deer hunting expedition,
and lifter getting into the woods .
where thcytxpected to find deer, they separated.
Shortly after, Hoffman heard Cowan's
gun fired off, when he immediately went j
over to the spot where he hail heard the
shot, expecting that he would be obliged o.
_ _ ?0? help
Cowan to hang up a deer. He found
Cowan very busy loading his gun, and
shouted out:
" Hallo, Cowan,?what did you shoot at
jnst now ?"
44 None o' your business ; go along over
the hill."
Surprised at this short and erusty answer,
Hoffman looked around, and discovered a
iuIj among the hushes. Again ho criedout:
44 I say, Cowan, did you shoot at the calf?
44 Yes I did, hut its none of your business."
' What made you shoot at it ? "
44 Why, I took it for a deer."
" Well, did you hit it ?
41 No, I missed it."
44 How did you miss it ?"
44 Why, I wns'nt quitu sure that it wns'nt
n ealf."
You're a pretty specimen for a hunter,"
rejoined Hoffman, 41 To shoot at a ealf for a
doer, and miss it nt that."
44 Don't make a fool of yourself! " replied
Cowan,44 1 shot at it just so as to miss it if
it was a calf and hit it if it was a deer.
Truth*.
T Twri are few things that even charity
can't atttiul.
A man who eau smile when you tread on
hi* corns, is eitlwr a saint, or bus soinc sinister
design upon you. Mistrust him.
A half-lit fire and damp sheets, choke an
incipient beoevoleae* with a cold in its head.
A fried Iteef-ateak and u pair of overshoes
are equally palutfele, if"* !>rved up together.
tar Whrs a man pfoifes his honor on
trivial occasions, be sure that he will dispose
of the certificate tor a trifle.

"She Died Like a Lamb."
I
Osk cold dreary day in the month of 1
j December, 1850, a city missionary entered ]
j a dirty-looking house in a court in his |
I district, lie groped his way up a dark 1
! staircase, and knocked at the door of the I {
top front r?>om. It was opened hv a 1
woman who seemed to l>e under the in- ! |
fluenec of drink. \\ hen a tract was oil- i
ered to her, she uttered an oth, and said,
j "She wanted bread not tracts/' The j '
! missionary told her about the true llread '
that came down from heaven, While he j
I was speaking, the woman opened the door i
j a little wider, which served to show him ,
' that the room was the abode of tilth and ,
I poverty. The floor and window looked i
| as if they had never been cleaned. There
j was scarcely any tire in the grate, but a ] I
I heap of ashes underneath. The furniture *
I consisted of three old chairs, a table, and '
I bed covered with rags. The missionary's I
\ attention was arrested as he cast his eyes |
i ! upon that bed; for he met the earnest gaze i
] of a little girl, whose flushed cheek and ,
I glistening eye plainly showed that disease (
j had marked her as a prey. "Is your child i
| ill?" he asked. "Yes, "said the mother; i
j "she is only twelve years old, and they say |
I that she is in consumption ; she is going j"
. fast. You may talk to her if you like. 1 j
must go out." The missionary went up j?
| to the bed, took hold of the hand of the )
j little girl, audsaid, "You seem to be very j1
j ill. Are you in pain!" "I am sometimes |'
; sir," she replied, "but when I pray to
Jesus I do not feel it." "And who taught ,
you to pray?" asked the missioary; for he ,
felt surprised to find one of the Saviour's i |
lambs in such a plaec. "My Sabbath >
School teacher," she replied; and then in '
her own simple way, told, the visitor that !
another little girl had taken her about '
I I
two years before with her to a Sabbath ; (
[ School; that she there learned to road the I |
Dible and to pray to Jesus; "but <>h, sir." j?
she added, as the tears started from her '
j eyes, "my father and mother are so wicked!
| tlicv drink and swear, and make me ><> j
j unhappy. l>o pray for tliein, sir." "Y os," J
said the missionary "we will both pray j'
for them; for (iod hears prayer, and he:,
can break the rocky heart. lie then knelt i
beside her l>ed, and breathed the earnest I i
desire of their ^'.arts to (Iod. When i
prayer was ended, she took from under | '
the bundle of rags which formed her pil- j'
low a small hymn-book, and read several I j
of the pleasing verses which were cheering j
the dark passage through which she was > |
passing to glory. ?
Two days after, the missionary again
went tip the dark staircase. Ilis heart
was happy, for he felt that one of his '
Master's little ones was there. The door :
was opened by the mother, in whose face !,,
lie saw the look of grief; the window was ] ?
darkened, butsufficient light remained to ; ?
show a small elm cottin, w hich w as placed [ a
in one corner of the room, partly covered ' ^
hy a ?licet. "What?" said the missionary, '
"and is she dead?" ',Ycs," said tin- mother [
"she died the night you were here. 1 j
was sitting by the tire, when she asked !
nic to listen to a hymn she was often
reading:
"Come let us join our cheerful songs,
With angels round the throne."
! Her cough prevented her from finishing
I the hymn. She lay down upon lcr bed, !
ana nnout an Hour after, she died like a j
lamb? While the mother was speaking, !
the father came in. The missionary told <
them about their child's concern for their ' '
I salvation, and asked them if they inteu- I
i ded to follow her to heaven. The appeal v
j made them sob bitterly, and they knelt j
while a prayer was offered in their b<- , .,
| half. ' j |.
! The following Sabbath her bodv was a
I laid in the grave. Her teacher, and I1
j wenty scholars from her Sabbath School, !j
followed with the mourners; and when ! jthe
clergyman had finished the burial ; j,
service, they sung the hymn w hich ush- | -j
! ered her happy spirit into the presence of si
I her Savior:? I c<
. . 1 'I
, 'Come let us join our cheerful songs, ,|
With angels round the throne." v
My dear young readers, perhaps you '
have more blessings than this little girl 1 "
had. You have kind parents, who want . *
to lead you to Jesus, and to see you hap- [ (|
| pv in him. Your Heavenly Father has 1 j,
given you a comfortable home, and a j
great many things to make you happy.
| l?ut do you love Jesu?? l>o you, like this ]
J little girl, delight in praying to Him.
I Will you seek to meet her in heaven/? J .

A very little girl who often read the | ii
Hible, gave proof that she understood her i "
obligations to obey its precepts, due ?
day she came to her mother,'much pleased, 1
to show her some frnil !.?..! I.......
given her, The mother said the friend
was very kind, and had given her a great
many. "Yes," said the child, "very, in- ti
deed; and she gave me more than that, <1
but I have given some aw ay." The mother , '
inquired to whom she had given them; | *
she answered, "I gave them to a girl w ho I .
I pushes mo oft' the path, and makes faces t
at me." On being asked why she gave r
to her, she replied, "Hecause I thought it |
would make her know that I wish to be I
kind to her, and she will no , perhaps, bo t
rude and unkind to mo again" ilrw *
admirably did she then obey the command
to overcome evil with good.
A tear stood in the eye of little Charles,
and he promised his mother to try and do i
so too. Will my little readers, under. I
similar circumstances, "go^ and do likewise"??[S.

Dr. Il<>fland's ( 'eh braird (Sermon Bitters
for flic cure of Ijver Complaint, Jaundice,
I)\spepsia, Chronic or Nervous Debility, is
deservedly one of the most popular medicines
of the day. These Bitters have been
used hv thousands, and a friend at our elbow
says be lias himself received an etleetiial and
permanent cure of I.iver Complaint from the
use of this remedy. Wo are convinced that,
in the use of these Bitters, the patient constantly
gains strength and vigor?u fact wor111>"
of great consideration. They are pleasant
in taste and smell, and can be used by
persons with the most delicate stomachs
with safety, under any circumstances. Wo

MORE EVIDENCE.
The Hon. C. 1). Ilineline, Mayor of the
City of Camden, N. J., says:
I loon.ami's (iEkmak Hittkhs.?We
lutve seen many flattering notices of this
inedicinu, and the source from w hich they
nine induced us to make inquiry respecting
its merits. From inquiry we were |>er*usiled
to use it, ami must say we found it spei-it'.c
in its action upon diseases of the liver
aii,I digestive organs, ami the powerful influence
it exerts ii|kui nervous prostration is
really surprising. It calms and strengthens
the nerves, bringing them into a state of re|K?se.
making sleep refreshing.
"If this medicine was more generally used,
ivc are satisfied there would be less sickness
is from the stomach, liver, and nervous svs
irm we grcni majority of real ami imaginary
diseases emanate. Haw them in u healliiy
condition, ami you can bid defiance to
pideinics generally. This extraordinary
medicine we would advise our friends who
ire at all indisposed to give it a trial?it will
rccoiiitncml itself. It .should, in fact, be in
[ very family. No other medicine can proluce
such evidences of merit.**
Kvidence upon evidence has liccn received
(like the foregoing) from all sections of
I he Union, the last three vesirs, the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is
more of it used in the practice of the regular
Physicians) 1' Philadelphia, than all other
nostrums combined, a fact that can easily be
established, nnd fully proving that a scientific
preparation will meet with their quiet approval
w hen presented even in this form.
That tfiis medicine will cure liver Complaint
and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after
using it as directed. It acts specifically
upon the stomach and liver; it is preferable
to calomel in all hilinus diseases?the effect
is immediate. They can be administered to
female or infant with safety and reliable benefit
at any time.

gpjjjjP
Tlif true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juicy
I prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stomnche
of the Ox, nfter directions from Baron
Liebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. S. Houphton, M. I)., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly h wonderful remedy for indepestion,
Dyspepsia, Jnundice, liver Com!
plaint, Constijintion and Debility, curinp after
Nature's own a pent, the Gastric Juice.
Haifa tenspoonful of I'cpsin, inftis.
I ed in water, will digest or desolve Five
j Pounds of Roast Beef, in about two hours,
out of the stomach,
j Pepsin is the chief clement, or Great I)/'
j posting Principle of the Gastric Juice?the
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserving
and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestines. It is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the ox, thus forming an artificial
digestive lluid, precisely like the natural
Gastric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
furnishing a complete and perfect substitute
for it. By the aid of this preparation, tho
pains and evils of Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are removed, just as they would lie by a
healthy stomach. It is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing cases of Debility, Emaciation,
Nervous Decline, and Dispeptlc ConI
sumption, supposed to Iks on the verge of
the grave. The scientific evidence upon
w hicli it is based, is in the highest degree
curious nnd remarkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
Baron l.iebig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An artificial digestive
tluid, analogous to the gastric juice,
may l?c readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of the stomach of the calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggs, will Is- softened changed and digested,
just in the same manner as they would be
i in the human stomach."
I IV- f\.kl^.-l.?t-l .
, ... 1.IKMIHI- nriuiigl oil me
" Physiology of Di^kii n," observes that "a
i diminution of the dneqnantity of the ga?I
trie juice is a prominent und nil prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; " and ho states that " a
distinguished Professor of Medicine in London.
who was severely afflicted with this
complaint, finding everything else to fail, had
recourse to the gastric juice, obtained from
the stomach of living animals, which proved
to be jvrfectly successful,"
Dr. (>rahnm, author of the famous works
on " Vegetable Diet," says : * Ft is a remarkable
fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, macerated in \\uter. impart to the
fluid the property of dissolving various articles
of food, and of effecting a kind of artificial
digestion of them in no wise different
from i he natural digest ire process.''

digestive organs, after a long sickness. Al
so, lor excess in eating, and the two frequent
