UNSEEN. _ ’ At tfee spring of as afltir in the great north tower, High up on the wall, is an angel’s head, And beneath it is carven a lily flower, With delicate wings at the side outspread. They say that the sculptor wrought from the fc e Os his youth’s lost love, of his promised bride, And when he had added the last sad grace To the features, he dropjecd bis chisel ahd died. And the worshippers throng to the shrine below, And the sight-seers come with their curious eyes, But deep in the shadow, where none may know Its beauty, the gem of his carving lies. Yet at early mom on a midsummer’s day, When the sun is far to the north, for the space Os a few short minutss, there fails a ray 'Through an amber pane on an angel’s face It was wrought for the eye of God, and it seems That He blesses the work of the dead man’s hand With a ray of the golden light that streams On tlie lost that are found in the death less laud. [London Spectator. GOLDEN WORDS FROM “THE GOLDEN AGE.” It is observed that each person is competent to be something which no one else can do. The further we get on in life the more noticeable does this become in reference to ourselves and others. The idiosyncracy, the aptitude is felt at first only as a vague yearn ing. Inevitably, in one or more points, our interests will clash with those of our neighbors, even when we are carrying out what we deeply feel to be our appoint ed life-work. This clashing begets skepticism. We ask ourselves again and again whether it can really lie our duty to conflict with and pain others. By and by we learn from experience that if, in doing right, we give pain, it is not our fault. No more our fault than the feeling of pain is the fault of him whom we affect disagreeably. The doctrine of fatalism has in it much that is incontrovertible, and and may well be instanced to this connection. By doing bravely and Unswervingly what we feel drawn on to do, we are sure to be doing well, no matter how great the hue and cry raised against us. Indeed, a disturbance caused by any line of action is diiect testimony to the power and efficacy of such action. The lesson taught by history in this regard is one of the first to bo distilled from dry, isolated facts for the behoof of youthful learners. Co OPERATION OF THE WIFE—No man ever prospered in the world without the co-operation of his wife. If she unites in mutual en deavors,or rewards his labors with an endearing smile,with what con fidence will he resort to his occu pation, meet difficulty and en counter danger, if he knows that he is not spending his strength in vain, but that his labor will be rewarded by the sweets of home ! Solicitude and disappointment en ter the history of every man’s lift, and he is but half provided for hit voyage who finds but an associate for happy hours, while for his months of darkness and distress no sympathizing partner is pre pared. The value of advertising was never better shown than in a re cent case at Montreal, where, while a pnnter on the Witness was setting up an for a lost canary, the bird flew »ti at the office window. In an advertisement of a baker's business for sale, the following appears: “Death the sole reason for leaving; the proprietor gone where ovens are not needed.” The life of an honest man is a beautiful poem; and every human being who reads it feels better, stronger, more hopeful for it. The retrospection of past mis fortune, like shade to a picture gives to our present bliss greater force and brightness. The way to procure insults is to submit to them. A man meets with no more respect than he exacts. If you want a thing done, send i a man to do it; if you want it done well, go and do it yourself. There is nothing so effective in briuging a man up to the scratch as a healthy, high-spirited flea. There i*» no courage but in in nocence; no constancy but in an honest cause, \\ hat did Adam first plant in the garden of Eden ? His foot.

Vinegar Bitters nre not a vile Fancy D.'ink, i ade of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and k efuse Liquors, d.tc’ored, spiced, and sweetened to please the taste, called *‘ Tonics,” “ Appetizers,” *■ Restorers,’' &c., that lead the tippler on to druiib enness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of California, free from ail Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the Great lliood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Per fect Renovator and Invigorator of tlie System, car rying off all poisonous matter and reste.ing the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy of administration, prompt in their action, cer tain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms ot disease. No Person can take these Blftors ao cording to directions, and remain long unwell, pre v. I. I their bor.es are not destroyed by mineral poi son or other means, and the vitai organs wasted bevot.d the point of repair. Dyspepsia or In<li<reslion. Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of tlie ( best. Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Had Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dys pepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and < te bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Far i'Vmnlc Uomplnint s, in young or old, m:,:ri. d or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or t!

Dyspepsia or Indiges tton. Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, I Leases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, wh'ch is generally produced by derangement of the Digestive Organs. They arc a Gentle Pnre;ntlve ns well ns n Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving ('.mgestioa or Intlammaiion of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases.

Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever n tine or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short tune by the use of these Bitten. One Bottle in sueli cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever vox find its imparities bursting through the skin <n Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores ; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins : cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the biood pure, and the licaith of the system will follow. GrMtefiil thonsnnds proclaim Vtisrcsn Bitters the most wonderful luvigoraut dial ever sustained the sinking system. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distmguislied phy siologist: There is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthyele meuts of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No system of Medi cine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. Mechanical Diseases.
