BE CAREFUL FOE NOTHING.
Why art thou cast down, 0 my soul ?
Uplift thee, and be strong,
Thy care upon thy Maker roll!
Thy sadness doth Him wrong.
Beneath his eye
Thy goings lie ;
The God who rules above
His child doth know and love.
Come, gaze on yonder vaulted sky ;
Say, can thy glance embrace
The worlds wherewith the Lord most high
Hath sown the fields of space ?
Though skill of thine
And strength combine,
Yet never shall thy hand
Create one grain of sand.
Thy Helper is the Lord of all,
He marks thy slightest sigh ;
A thousand means, at His higli call,
For thy defence are nigh ;
Safe in His care
No storm shall bear
One hair from off thy head,
Though nature quail in dread.
Thou formed’st man of earthly mould,
Almighty ! by Thy p 'wer ;
Not Solomon, in gems and gold,
Could match Thy simplest flower ;
Thy single word
Sufficed, O Lord,
To fill heaven’s boundless sphere ;
And lo I I faint and fear !
The worlds which run their course on high,
This blossom sweet and fair,
The stars in voiceless harmony,
Yon leaflet falling there, —
Shall these obey
One law, one sway,
And I aside be thrown,
The sport of chance alone?
Then with thy cares, my soul, have done;
Thy giief beclouds thy view ;
How shall not He who gave His Son
Give food and raiment too ?
The life is more
Than roof and store ;
No fear lest thou His child
Be from His care exiled!
Long as I live, my hand in Thine,
I to Thy side will cling,
For life is gain, O Guide divine 1
While safe beneath Thy wing;
Lo 1 all is well ;
Each iil shall tell
For blessing, moulded still
By Thy controlling will.
If Thou give ear when I aspire,
I’ll praise Thy tenderness ;
And if Thou cross my heart’s desiie,
I wi.l Thy wisdom bless ;
All-gracious One,
Thy will be done I
Thy love I know, I see ;
And I can trust in Thee !
And when Thy solemn call I hear,
And yield my latest sigh.
Then, 0 my Father, draw Thou near,
And give me grace to die I
So while at rest
Upoc Thy breast
My spirit Thou shalt keep,
My dust in he. pe shall sleep.

An ox that had been eating fermented

A Parisian dentist, who lives in the

An exchange gives two reasons why
tin kettles should never be tied to dogs’
tails. First, it is cruel to the dog; sec

third—that it is damaging to the ket

An Irishman has defined nothing to be

“Shut your eyes, and you’ll see it,” said
Pat.
Why is a doctor better taken care of

It is a bad sign to see a Communist

“Patty,” a lady called to a little girl
who was in the pallor, “did you tell your
mother that I was here ?”
“Yes, ’m,” answered Patty, demurely.
“And what did she say?”
“She said, ‘Oh, that dreadful woman

BEAUTY SLEEP.
Sleep obtained two hours before mid
night, when the negative forces are in
operation, is the rest which most recup
erates the system, giving brightness to
the eye and a glow to the cheek. The
difference in the appearance of a person
who habitually retires at ten o’clock and
that of one who sits up till twelve is
quite remarkable. The tone of the sys
tem, so evident in the complexion, the
clearness and sparkle of the eye, and the
softness of the line*, of the features, is
in a person of health, kept at “conceit
pitch ” by taking regular rest two hours
before twelve o’clock, and thereby ob
taining his “beauty sleep ” of the night.
There is a heaviness of eye, a sallowness
of skin, and an absence of that glow in
the face which renders it fresh in ex
pression and round in appearance, that
readily distinguishes the per son that
keeps late hours.
Habit, climate, constitution, calling,
and age, all regulate the duration of the
period of sleep necessary for different
persons. People of phlegmatic temper
aments, invalids, and young children,
require more sleep than they who are
active, who think quickly, more rapidly,
and are of a nervous cast of mind. Il
is estimated that eight or nine hours'
sleep is about the fair - proportion which
every person should have who values his
health, or expects his intellect to be in
good condition. A person can easily ac
custom himself to five or six hour’s of re
pose, but the operations of the system
will languish in a degree proportionate
as they are deprived of their natural
rest.
The necessity of sound and refresh
ing sleep to all is greater than the need
of food, drink, warmth, or anything else
that nourishes and preserves the body.
Repose taken at the right time affects
the system very differently from that ob
tained later in the night. Sound sleep
from ten to six will keep the body and
mind in a very different state from that
where rest is only taken from one unti.
eight in the morning.
Light, thoroughly ventilated bedcham
bers, are indispensable for all. No one
can be vigorous in constitution whose
sleeping apartment is not cleanly and
well aired.
It is important to acquire the habit of
retiring early, as only persons of a low
order of intellect can, like cats and dogs,
summon sleep at will; and there is no
thing so powerfully controlled by habit
as this state of unconsciousness. Tin
art of procuring sound and refreshing
sleep at w r ill has never been learned, but
the greatest thinkers upon the subject
maintain that the closer the mind can be
concentrated on one monotonous sound
or sensation, the sooner it will find obliv
ion. The murmur of the ocean, the cab
of the katydids, the low r , sweet voice of
woman will often soothe the mind to rest,
and woo soft slumber to the restless
couch.
“Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care.
The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath.
Balm of hurt minds, great Nature's second
course,
Chief nourisler in life’s feast.”
Persons constitutionally wakeful should
partake plentifully of lettuce, onions, cel
ery, and other vegetables having sopor
ific qualities. A hop pillow is very sooth
ing to a sleepless temperament. The
peacefulness of a fair conscience; the
music of a sweet “Good-night” from a
beloved companion, and the baptism of
a blessing sought, are the best recipes
for sound and healthful slumber.
A POOR JOKER.
Minister Schenck's jokes are not ap
preciated in England. Schenck met a
son of Ben Holliday some time ago, and
afterwards meeting a gentleman named
Christmas, be conceived a pun. Said the
General: “ I think I have met a relative
of yours —a Mr. Holliday.” “I think
not,” said Christmas; “I have no rela
tives of that name.” Subsequently
Schenck told the story at a dinner-party,
and the guests each glared at his neigh
bor, and no one saw the joke. At last
one noble lord feebly laughed, and said:
“Ah! yes, very good, General. Ah, were
they —ah —related, you know ?”
AN EXAMPLE.
A writer in the Californian delivers a
Sunday-school address, of which the fol
lowing passage is an example:
“You boys ought to be kind to your
little sisters. I once knew a bad boy who
struck his little sister a blow over the
eye. Although she didn’t fade and die
in the early summer time, when the June
roses were blowing, with the sweet words
of forgiveness on her pallid lips, she
rose up and hit him over the head with
a rolling-pin, so that he couldn’t go to
Sunday-school for more than a month,
on account of not being able to put his
best hat on.”
If a young lady wished a young gent
to kiss her, what papers would she men
tion ? No spectators, no observers, and
as many times as you like.

Iron in the Blood
FIpI
MAKES THE WEAK STRONG.
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect
ed Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Nature’s Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures ‘’a thousand ills,” simply
by Toning up,lnvigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The en
riched and vitalized blood per
meates every part of the body,
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derful success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar
rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills and Fevers, Humors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility or a loio
state of the system. Being free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects are not fol
loived by corresponding reac
tion, but are permanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and new
life into all parts of the system,
and building tip an Iron Con
stitution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
tvealc, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women; anil
invalids cannot reasonably hes
itate to give it a trial.
