At church I sat within lier pew,
O pew !
Cut there I heard
No pious word—
I saw alone her eye ofhluc !
I raw her Ikhv her head so gracious,
O G radons !
Tim choir sang,
The organ rang—
And seemed to 111! the
I could not hearihe Gospel law—
O law !
My future bride
Was by my side—
I found nil else a mighty bore !
And when periled forth the organ's thunder!
O Thunder !
I fixed my eyes
In mute surprise,
On her whose beauty was a wonder.
1° me that maiden was most dear—
O Dear !
And she was mine.
Joy tr.o divine—
for human words to picture here.
Her love seemed like a prayer to bless me—
O Bless me !
Betore she came,
My lile to tunic—
My rarest joys could'but oppress me.
1 lie service done, we sought the shore—
O Shore !
And there we walked,
And sadly talked—
More sadly than e’er before.
1 o me she seemed a type of goodness—
O Goodness !
But on that day
I heard her say
Plain words whose very tone was rudeness.
We strayed beside the tide-mill’s dam—
() Dam !
She jilted me,
And now I see
’1 hat woman’s love is all a sham.

tory would be dishonor is scaredv,
perhaps, to be hope] for, but at
least it may be said that two public
men coming at the same time to a
generous and straightforward reso
lution have it in their power to
break through the cobwebs of tech*
nicalities and trickery. ] heir coun
try, we are sure, would not forget
so noble a service. The presiden
tial elec;ion, the formal
result, showed a popular majority
of some 300,000 votes for the dem
ocratic ticket, and the withdarwal
of the republican candidates would
only give effect to the will of the
people It would be for the advan

übly go to pieces, but which in op
position may hope speedily t<> re
new its strength. The ratification
of republican p >!i y by a demo

important gain, and it is certain
that Mr. Tideo will be as

The Turk iti
■ 1
Every duty and every interest of
Christendom seems to demand that
the Turk be driver* out of Europe.
But who is to do this de and ?
None other can than the Great
Powers, and they are so divided in
opinion and interest that they de
mand hut peace until a more fitti’ g
season, that all may get a share of
the spoils. There is but one pow
er that knows clearly what it
wants. \\ ith unshaken consisten
cy the | to 1 icy of Russia has pursued
its way iu this Oriental Question.
As all roads were said to lead to
Rome, so has every ray of Russian
policy lound its concentric point in
Constantinople. Since Genera! Ig
natieff became the emhas ador of
the Czar at the Ottoman Porte, he
has been trank in the Russian poli
ey of restoring the. uujfcyw the
gieat Sclavic race. stlie sole
aim of Russian policy in this mat
ter of the Provinces, as Prussia 1 <1
on i,. the unity of Germany, and
Piedmont in that of Italy ; and the
desire is a natural one. Gortsclia
kotl and the leading Russian states
men ol the day care comparatively
little fi r the advance cT liberalism
1 or democracy within their territory
\\ itn them the piinciple or nation •
ality, so lately the cry of dema
gogues, has been taken up with cn
thu.-iasm, and they now prefer the
march under the tri-color of Pan-
Sclavism to that of ihe Cross against
die Crescent. They leave the re
ligious phase of the.'tjuestion entire
ly out of sight,—to them he is a
Russian who speaks the idiom, and
is therefore a member of, their na
tionality.
The theory of Christianizing the
Turk sounds well, but it will fail
in practice from the fact that tente.i
of what little gravity lie has lies in
Asia and n*t in Europe, and had
belter be transferred thither. Con
stantinople, though on European
soil, throws all the weight of its in
ilueuce into Asia, anl looks now on
its European possessions as a sort
ol forlorn hope to be maintained
only through the mutual jealous
of the Western Powers. The sc •-
nery presented by the Rosphdrus D
said to be the most beautiful in ihe
world; the combination of land
scape and vegetation, of sea and
mountain, of magnificent and at
tractive architecture, is nowhere
richer, more luxurious and charm
ing than from Kilios to the Prov
inces Islands and Pera. Rut with
in the last four hundred years since
the rule of the Turk began, there
have been more ruins than habita
tion, more beggary than gold or
diamonds, more tilth and squalor
than general comfort. And if such
is the case at Stamboui, the center
ot wealth and power, what can we
look lor in the distant Provinces?

Why Advertise.
People sometimes ask why doe-
Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, X. A’,
spend so much money in adver
tising his family medicines, which
are so wed known and surpass all
ether remedies in popularity and
sale. It is Well know that A. T.
Stewart considered it good poiicv,
and undoubtedly it paid him, to
spend man/ hundred thousand
delta rsin advertising his goods, yet
nobody questioned the excellence
of his merchandise. The grand
secret ol succe-s lies iu offering on
ly goods which possess meri to
sustain themselves, and tin n
through liberal and persistent ad
vertising making the people thor
oughly acquainted with their go >d
qualities. Men do not succeed in
amassing great fortunes, cstabli h
ing a thriving and permanent bad
ness, and founding substantial in
rtitutions like Dr. Pierce’s Grand
Invalids" Hotel at Buffalo, which
costs over two hundred thousand
dollars, unless their business be le
gitimate, their goods meritorious,
and their services which they rea
der the people genuine and vah: -
hie. Dr. Pierce does not attempt
to humoug you by telling you that
his Golden Medic*#! Discovery will
euro ad diseases. He say;-, ‘lf
your lungs are half wasted by con
sumption, my Discovery will not
cm e \* ou, yet as a remedy for severe
coughs, and all curable bronchial,
throat, and lung affections, I belie v •
it to be unsurpassed as a remedy.”
The people have confidence in It is
medicines because lie does n >t over
recomraend them, and when tried
they give satisfaction. Hie Medi
an! Adviser, a book of over nine
!i u lit!red pagss, illustrated by two
hundred and eighty-two engravings
au.l bound in cloth and gilt, is I
i* re 1 to the people at so moderate
a price, $1.5 >, post-paid, that it is
no wonder that almo-t o ; ,c hundred
thousand have already been sold.
