if nil; Mi li We b?Dt to-day o'er? coffined form, And our toara foll softly down; Wo looked our last on the aged face, Wita itu look of peace, ita patient grace, And hair Uko a ?ihrer crown. Wo-touched our own. to tue clay-cold, hands, ? From life's long labor at rest; , . And among the blossoms, white and sweet, We noted a bunch of golden wheat. Clasped close to the silent breast. The blossoms whispered of fadeless bloom, Of a land whore fall no tears; Tho rlpo wheat told of toil and oare, Tho patient waiting, tho trusting prayer, The garnorod good of the years. We knew not what work his banda had found, What rugged placea his feet; What cross waa his, what blackness of night; We saw but the pease, the blossoms white, I ? (And tho bunch of ripened wheat. As each goes up from the fields of earth, Boarlng tho treasures of life, God looks for eomo gathered graiu of good, From tho harvest that shining stood, But .waiting the reaper's knife. Then labor well, that in death you go Not only with bloat oma sweet Not bent with doubt and burdened with fears, And dead, dry busks of the watorcd years But laden with golden wheat. SERMON- BY THE REV. HENEY WA ED BEECHER.-The Bey. Henry Ward Beecher preached yesterday from the text: "And He, bearing His oross, went forth."-John xvii, 19. The reverend speaker said that ancient artista had rep? resented Christ bearing the cross as erect, almost triumphant, but the modera had reversed thia, and showed Him as down oast and despondent, sinking under the heavy load. In other words, ancient art showed Him as bearing His oross, modern art as being overborne by it. The an? cient ideal was tbr 'rue one. Christ de? spised Hil sufferings, and, iustead of weakly yielding to them, trampled them under foot. The history of Christ's life was an enlarged history of every man. Men begin low down in the senses, and by dint of learning, and tears, and trou? ble, rise above their lower nature. The asoent is gradual and laborious. No man can rise and not suffer. The price of greatness ia humility and pain. It was not possible even for Christ himself to work ont the problem of Ii uc??u salva? tion without suffering. Many people think that in order to be Christians they must voluntarily subjeot themselves to torture, and deny themselves of the things whioh go to make life pleasant. This is a mistaken idea. A man should not suffer outside of his duty. God uses troubles as whetstones to sharpen men's consciences with. When tho knifo is once'sharpened the stone is useless until it gets dull again. Some well meaning persons imagine that they are doing God's will when they cut away all tho edge. This is the way tho ascetics do. Manhood is the most precious fruit of all tronble. There is bot one tree that bears true manhood; an " it is the cross. There are many ways of carrying tho cross. Tho true way is to bear it cheerfully. Many drag their crosses behind them as though they were fetters or clogs. Others mauufaoturo littlo crossos out of the lightest timber they can get, nnd not unfreqnently they aro covered with em? broidery. This is what they call "glori? fying the cross." The true cross must be a real cross, and it must be honestly borne. A DEATH-BED SERMON.-A gentleman died last week at his residence, in one of our up town fashionable streets, leaving 811,000.000. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, in excellent stand? ing, a good husband and father, and a thrifty citizen. On his death-bed, lin? gering long, ho suffered with great agony of mind, and gave continual ex? pression to his remorse for what bis con? science told him had been an ill-spent life. "Obi" he exclaimed, and his weeping friends and relations gathered about his bed, "Oh! if I could only livo my years over again. Oh! if I could only be spared, for a few years, I would give all the wealth I have amassed in n life time. It is a life devoted to money getting that I regret. It is this which weighs mo down and makes mo despair of the life hereafter!" His clergyman endeavored to soothe him, but he turned his face to the wall. "You have never reproved my avaricious spirit," ho said, to the minister. "You have called it a wise economy and forethought,' but I now know that riches have been only a snare for my poor soul. I would give all I possess to have hope for my poor soul!'' In this sad state of mind, refusing to bo consoled, this poor rich man bewailed a life devoted to the mero acquisition of riches, All knew him to bo a professiug Christian and a good man, as tho world goes; but the terror and remorse of his death-bod administered a lesson not to be lightly dismissed from memory. He would have given all his wealth for a single hope of Heaven. [Ne io York Star. lu an ancient manuscript, said to huvo been sent by tho Government of Judea to tho Senate of Rome, is found tho fol? lowing description of our Saviour: There lives at this time, in Judea, a man of singular character, whoso name is Jesus Christ. The barbarians esteem him as their prophet, but his followers adore him as the immediate offspring of the immortal God. He is endowed with such unparalleled virtue aa to call back the dead from their graves and to heal every kind of disease with a word or a touch. His person is tall and ologuotly shaped, his aspect amiable and reverend. His hair flown in those beauteous shades whioh no united colors eau match, fall? ing in graceful oorla bolow his ears and parting on the orowu of his head. His dress is that of the sect and large; his cheeks without snot save that of a lovely red; his nose ana month are formed with exquisite symmetry; his beard is thiok, ana suitable to the hair of his head, reaching below his chin and parting in the middle; his eyes aro bright and se reue. MOTHKU. - Lamartine telta a utory that exquisitely illustrates, a motbor's love. In some spring freshet, a river wildly washed ita shore Hod rent away a bough whereon a bird had built a cottage for her summer hopes. Down the white and whirling stream drifted the green branch, with its wicker-cup of unfledged song; | and fluttering beside it, as it went, the mother bird. Unheeding the roaring river, on she kept, her cries of agony and j fear pieroing tho pauses of tho storm. How like the love of the old-fashioned mother, who followed the child of her heart all over the world. Swept away by passion that child might be, it mat? tered not; bearing away with him the fragments of tho shattered roof tree, though ho did; yet that mother was with him, a Ruth through all his life, and a Rachel at his death. Rothschild and tho Arshbishop of Paris mot at a pnblio dinuer, some time since, and arrived at the same moment at the door. Neither wished to enter first-the Jew showing respeot, tho Ca? tholic tolerance. Finally, tho Archbishop cried out: "M. Rothschild, you are tho son of Moses; I am tho servant of Jesus; you have tho precedence of ago. The Old Testament is moro venerable than the New." And the banker went in first. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, for all the Pur? poses ol a Laxative Medicine. PERHAPS no ono medicine is BO univer? sally required by every body as a cathartic, nor was over any be? fore BO universally adoptod into use, in every country aud amone all class?e, as thiB mild but efficient ?purgativo PILL. Tho -' obvious re.iHon is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those who have tried it, know that it cured them; those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does onco it does always-that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composi? tion. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures aro known in every neighborhood, and wo need not publieh them. Ad iptcd to all ages and conditions in all climates; containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug, they may bo taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coatiug preserves them over "fresh and makes thom pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their ute in any quantity. They oporato by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action-remove the obstructions of thc stomach, bowels, liver and othor organs of tho body, restoring their irre? gular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, euch derangements as are the first origin of disease. Minuto directions aro given in thc wrapper on the box, for tho following complaints, which theeo PILL8 rapidly cure: For Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Listlessness, Languor and Loss of Appetite, they should bo taken moderately to stimulate tho stomach and restore its healthy tono and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symp? toms. Bilious Headache, Sick Headache, Jaun? dice or Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bi lious Fevers, they Bhould bo judiciously taken ! for each caso, to correct the diseased action or remove tho obstructions which cause it. For Dysenterry or JHarrha-a, but ono mild doso is generally reqnirod. For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Back and Loins, they Bhould he continuously taken, as re? quired, t.> chango the diseased action of the system. With such chango those complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings, they should bo takon in large and frequent doses to produce tho effect of a drastic purge. For Suppression a largo dose should bo taken, as it produces tho desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take ono or two Pills to promote digestion and relievo the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restoros tho appetite, and invigorates tho system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious de? rangement exists. Ono who feels tolerably well, often linds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their cloansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. Dr. J. C. W BR & CO..
