..If We Knew." If wo knew tho woe and boart-ache Waiting for UH down tho road; If our lipa could taste tho worm-wood, If our backB could feel tho road W.-.rdd ir? Vrooio lu-?iij iu wiBuing For a time tjiat ne'er can be? Would wo wait in such impationco For our ahips to como from sen? If wo knew tho baby fingers Pressed against tho window pane, Wonld bo cold and Btiff to-morrow Never troublo ua again; Would tho bright oyes of our darling Catch the frown upon our brow? Would tho print of rosy fingers Vox UB then as they do now? Ah, thoBO little ice-cold fingers, How they point our memorio* back To tho banty word? and acliona Strewn along our backward trackl How these little hands remind ns, Aa in snowy graco they lie, Not to scatter thorns-but roses - For our reaping by-and-byel Strange wo never prize tho music, Till tho Bweot-voicod bird ?R flown; Strange that wo sbonld slight the violets, Till the lovelv llowera aro gone; Strange that Bummer skies and sunshine Never seem one-half BO fair, As when winter's snowy pinioiiB Shuke their white dow u in tho air! Lipa from which tho seal of silence None but God eau roll away, Never blossomed In ouch beauty As adorns tho mouth of day; And sweet words that freight our memory With thoir beautiful perfumo, Como to UB in sweeter accenta Through tho portals of tho tomb. Let us gather up the sunbeams Lying all along our path; Lot us keup the whear and rosea, Casting out tho thorns and chafT; Let us find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of to-day With a patient hand removing All tho briars from our way. Tm? FIRST WILD VIOLET.-Wo found it yesterday. Not on a sunny slope, nor in a thicket sheltered from tho fierce North wind, but by tho sido of a fallon log, buried deeply in decayed wood and dend leaves. It looked up strangely at us from tho yellow tangled grass. The blue eyes filled with rain tears, the flexile stem bending to the earth-winter, decay and desolation around. Tho un? lucky herald of capricious spring was evidently mourning its uutimely haste. It munt have been an ambi? tious violet, always pushing itself in the lead, tiodiug it had overtaxed its own strength, and had better have remained a little longer in safe ob? scurity. Foolish flower! could you not have thrown a tendril up here and there, to seo if tho earth was prepared for your reception? There aro many things very beautiful, and good, and truo, that aro lost because the world is not ready to welcome them. All truths struggle at first through a kill? ing mist of error, shivor in an uncon? genial atmosphere, and seem to wither and pass away. But, like our little violet, they revive at a moro fortunato Beason-a season when all eyes seo their beauty, and all lips hymn their praise; when they wreathe the ampborio at festivals, crown the triumph, sanctify the grave. Tho world had been slow to comprehend tho revclatiou, but now it only won? ders how it existed without it. Wo looked at tho violet with these thoughts passing through our mind, a Dd was suddenly struck by tho pecu? liar shape of tho hillock on which it grew. A little examination con .vineed us that it was a grave. Ono of those lonely waysido graves, so common since tho war, where somo poor soldier dying, on a hasty march, was thrown in tho ground, without even a board to mark his resting place. Whether he died in tho grey or tho blue, what matters it? Homo ouo bad mourned and yearned for bim; some one had questioned Heaven with hot, passionate tears for those poor unhonored ashes-some one would have watchedttand tended his resting-place, us lo#u alone can watch and tend. Hut there stands the sentinel flower, mourning with droop? ing form and heavy tears. There, too, it or its drooping sisters will stand, until tho woodland is lush with blossoms, tho breezes play among the full-leaved trees, and all the light ond i-?!- 0f a Southern summer forest dooks the lonely way? side grave, now only watched by the first wild violot. [iVew Orleans Times, Feb. 23. Tho largest organ in tho world is said to be in the little city of Frey burg in Switzerland. When in ftill play, it pours forth a tempest of sounds through a forest of pipes 7,800 in number, slinking tho wall and the foundations of the old church iu which it stands.

TUE LIFE OF THE FLESH ?S PURE BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in? ventor of tho Queen's Delight establishes the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. Tho Palo and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Fares. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers, ('rippled Rheumatics. Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of Headache, so common in this country, ia owing entirely to the humors of the blood* Very many other diseases may bf traced to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exauthcmr or F.b vurc, a rash or eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter, Goitro or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sores, St runion's Ulcers, Ao. These cannot bo cured without purifying the blood. Now as to tho remedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish such positive sad extraordinary cures as Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. You may take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not bo cured; and, as a proof of it, look around and yon will observo the country, throughout its length and breadth, is Hooded with compound Sarsa ?iarillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to to blood purifiers, and yet we seo to-day moro evidence of impurity of thc blood than ever. Why is thin? Simply because these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth? less medicine. Tho Queen's Delight is a new compound, and is now tho great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by tho profession, patronized by tho highest dignitaries of thc land, endorsed by everybody. In the brief period of twelvo months, ovor 3,000 cases have been treated so suc? cessfully as to entitle it to bo tho wonder of tho ago. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, restiveness, want of vital force. Low spirits; it is moie invigorat? ing and strengthening than all the com? pounds of bark ?ir bitters. As a liver invigorator, il is of inestimable value. As a stimulant, it is safer and surer than all tho rum and whiskey lonies of tho day, and if you value your lifo and health a pin's fee, avoid these quickening stimu? li! nts tn tho grave ano Use the Queen's Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Qu< en's De? light. This is not the Extract, of Stellin gin or Queen's Delight, nor is it a Coin pound S\ rup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsa? parilla and Queen's Delight, but simply Heinitsh's Queen's Delight ia the trade mark.
