“2 am miserable, and ombowed down even unto
the end: Igo sorrowing uli the day long. -Psalms
ii i. verse 6.
j \V'« ary of life and weary of sin-
The ceaseless strife and worldly din :
| 8 uggling ever to act a part,
j Veiling my soul and shrouding my heart,
Hating the world, aud longing to be
Alone, at rest, untiammeleled and free,
Struggling ever in ceaseless suite
Father of Heaven. ITu weary ot life !
Weary of life that once was fair,
That precious gem, that jewel rare
Life, with its changing, sunny hours,
Its golden smiles and wealth of flowers;
Life ot my infant, childish yeais.
With its rippling smiles aud sparkling tears,
Years that knew naught of anger or strife—
Father in Heaven, I’m weary of Hie !
Weary of life that once was so bright,
With ils rainbow hues of dazzling light—
The light of my girlhood’s early days,
With the gorgeous glare of its noonday blaze;
Ah! deeming my life but one endless da-7,
Nor counting the hours that passed away,
Hours with joy and pleasure ouce rife
Yet. Father in Heaven, I’m weary of life!
Weary ot life, its sin and its crime,
Its poisoned breath and its noisome slime;
Oh! sin, oh. crime! how bitter to taste,
The tempting fruit of the desert waste!
That fruit so lair and bright to the eye,
On the lips will fade, and in ashes die—
Filling the heart with woe and strife,
Till, Father in Heaven, we weary of li,e.
Weary of life that has grown so dark,
Pining away in this prisoned ark;
Weary, dear Lord, as the captive dove,
Longing to soar to the light above—-
Seeking some spot whore my foot may rest,
From the deluge of sin iu the human breast;
Battling ever iu care and strife—
Father in Heaven, Fin weary of life !
Weary of life! shall one so lost,
No tempted, driven, so wildly tossed.
Dare to weep as Magdalen wept.
When in lowly sorrow, a sinner she crept
'And knelt at thy feet, in tears and sighs,
.lad sought b- t a glance from thy sacred eyes
The glance that dispelled all sin and strife,
When her heart was weary and sick ot life.
Weary of life, but ah! in thy love (J
I look lor a truer life above;
j That ife thaLfades not nor passes away,
| The dawning sun ol eternal day;
j The ihu ning that breaks o’er the tempest wave,
j And shines through the } ,loora of the yawning
I grave,
Cheering us on through woe and stri.e,
With the lasting joys ol a brighter life.
Weary of life and weary of sin—
'l his worldly strife and worldly din,
L -oking in hope for the promised land,
Watching the veil on its golden strand ~
Watching the veil mi misty and bright.
Throuding it- shores from my yearning sight;
Watching the hand that shall send it away,
j GL ing me lile arm endless day.

‘Lots of them,’ said J.

ate tber, if he's got as much sens** u

got any « use at all, but I’m a little t o
mart to let another et tin ni get all th
trumps on me. The widow Horry that 1
was speaki: gofis a I ttie the Imndsom
(st woman, I reckon, that ever looked a
man into fils, ands ought to be u judge,
for I’ve seen lots of pretty women in my
day. She was about twenty-five years
when 1 went up then- to w -rk just, in
the bloom of her beauty, and as full of
deviltry as a three-year old mule colt.
There was a ball over at Jenkins’ and of
course I went, for I always go when
there’s any fun g* ing on, and generally
act the fool before I get. away. Ol
course the widow was there, dress and -s
fine as Solomon’s lilies, and living around
as frisk v as a young lamb in a rye patch
I g« t introduced to her and asked her to
dunce with me, and when she flashed her
eyes at me and said 'yes, I jumped up
like 1 bad sat down on a hot griddle
Y u may talk about sensation, but when
she to k ! old of my hand and I sorter
squeezed it, 1 fed a sensation as big as j
a load of wood and ii kept running up j
a- and down my back like a pquim I with a !

There is scarcely a ci nußtinity or

where this saving is not used almost
every day of'tlie year, and altogether too

[ found in almost every town. The nter
chant has failed, aud whisky has clone it.
j The lawyer, with his brilliant talent aud

range of respectability and confidence.
. Whisky was the cause. The politician,
[ with bright prospects before him, lias

to whisky. The judge of talent, age
and respectability, is the subject of pri
vate and neighborhood talk. His ene
mies point at him with derision, and his
friends bang their heads in shame, and
whisky lias done it That kind hearted

mature, and worms in tours: "Tit re are
I hut three diseases requiring' treatment,
which are mange, cholera, and worms in

I well with lye soap, and then p >t liqnor.
j For cholera, if I know the disease, **
j soo i as you see the hog begin to droop
and try to Vomit, gag him, mid giva him
twenty grains of calomel made into a
i pill. If you have been in the habit of
I giving your hogs spirits of turpentine,
lat tlie rate of one taldespoonfnl to the
