Night Is tho time for dreams: Tho gay romance of life, When truth that Is, and truth that scorns, * Blend in fantastic strife; Ah! visions leas beguiling far Than waking dreams by daylight are! Night is tho time for toll: To plough the classic field, Intent to flnd tho burled spoil Its woalthy furrows yield; Till all Is ours that sages taught, That poets sang, and heroos wrought. Night is tho time to weep: To wet with unseen tears Those graves of Memory, where sleep The Joys of other years; Hopes, that were Angela nt t heir birth, But died whon young, llko things of earth. Nhcht Is the tlmo to watch: O'er ikm 111's d,irk i>vohukv, To hall thto Plotnden. or catch Tho full moon's oorlleat glance, hom< sick mind Night Is tho tlmo for euro: Brooding on hours misspent, To seo tho scepter of Despair Como to our lonely tent; Like Brutus, midst hlo slumbering host, Summoned to dlo by Cresor'n ghost. Night Is the tlmo to think: When, from the eye, tho soul Takes flight; and on tho utmost brink T Of yonder starry pole Discerns beyond tho abyss of night Tho down of unereatod light. Night Is the tlmo to prny: Our Saviour oft wlthdrow To desert mountains far away; So will his follower do,? Steal from tho throng to haunts un Iro l. And commune Micro alone with God.

Tho first cost of an article does not necessarily determine its cheapness. For instance, a sack of "Clifton" Hour may cost you a little moro than other so-called patent Hours, but it will bo cheaper to you in the end. Whj V Be cause it will not only make moro bread to the sack, but tako less lard and soda to make It. Order a sack of "Clifton" and make a lc?t for yourself. It will prove the tru'h of this statement.
