That rise athwart my p^tb,
W by come ye here, your suddening gloom
my soul to east ?
Back to your haunt* ! I'm living now
lu 1 gilt of the glad To-day.
I weep no more over vanished joys ;
Back—back-.ye must not stay *
Why linger ye, with shadowy hands
That point my mern’ry back
To crumoled idols, lying low
O’er the weary troddin track ?
1 close my eyes on gloomy forms,
Aud press on the upward way.
I’ll weep no more over vanished joys;
Lack-—back*— ye skull not stay 1
And yet, alas ! with jour presence comes
A yearning—l know not why,
To list to your plamti e, mournful tones,
Thougt I press so quickly by.
I fain would live in the peaceful calm
And 1 ght of the glad To-day,
I will uot weep o’er vauished joys ;
Back-—back—why do ye stay T
Why should ye grieve, and mourn and sigh
Over things that once have beea ?
We cannot better our kindest deeds,
Nor lessen our greatest siu.
So back to your haunts, ye goblin things,
And there in oblivion stay.
I weep no more over vanished joys-*
I live in the glad To-day !

DODD’S tragedy.
Ho came into the store with a face
full of misery, and sat down upon a box
beside the stove and begun to cry. It
was a queer thing for a man like that
to do— a great, rough laborer,fifty years
of age or more. Some dreadful trouble
must have come upon him to make him
show his sorrow in that way without
disguise. The strangers stared sympa
thetically. Alter a while the propri
etor of the store went up to him and
said :
“You seem to be in trouble can we
help you any 7”
The mau did not look up; he shook
his head and said :
“No, no, no ! It’s very kind of you,
but nobody can help me. 1 suppose
you th uk I’m an old fool ; but she was
all the family I had, and she’s dead,”
and a great tear splashed down upon the
floor
“She’s dead. You can’t do me any
good row ; but if you’d come around to
my little shanty there about 9 o’clock
last night you might have done some
good — l dunno. v/hen a man is deter
mined to make a brute of himself he’d
do it, perhaps ; but if here and been some
one there to say ; “Dud, what on airth

the people looked at him with laces
that had lost a little of their syuipa.

“ You didn’t—didn’t do anything to
bring it on —whatever it was ?” said
ao old lady with a large basket on her
arm “I shouldn’t have thought it of
you ”
“Yes, I did—l did,” sobbed the man.
“If it hand’t been for me it never would
have happened. I uid love her too
Yes, I did love her Nobody could say
she’d ever a hard word from me before
in all the days we’d lived together; but
last night I’d a glass too much, and I
stopped at the butcher s down in the
village and bought a bit of steak—a
mau wants a change from pork once in
a way —and she was fond oi steak, aud
I just fetched it in and said to ber :
“We’ll havo a suppei to-niuht eh?”
and she sort of nodded and winked at
me just as jolly, and then i went out to
the well to draw water, and as a body
does when anybody is in a hurry, I lost
the bucket off, and was a terrible time
finding it, and when I went in—well
you see,l went in with an appetite—and
there sat, aud—well, I ain’t dainty, but
I couldn’t have touched that steak to
save me—and I got mad. W 11, I got
madder than I ever was before, kick
Yes, I did. If I was to for it
to-morrow, I’d haye to own up. I kick

“You brute ! kicked her because your
steak didn’t suit you ! Well may you
cry,” said the old woman with the has
ket.
“Yes’m, you can’t speak harder to me
than I feel to myself. I kicked her in
the side, and, what is more I opened
the door and kicked her out of it and.
then I jest sat down by my fire and
talked the worst kind to myself—Lord
forgive me ! and I said I d never let
her in again And then I went to Led.
•‘Went to bed anu left her out in the
cold? Never seeing whether she was
dead or alive,” said the old lady
“Yes, I did,” said the poor man, sob
bing hard, “and more than that, I went
to sleep—l slept sound, too; and what
do you suppose waked me 7 Why, her
voice—l knew it lrom a thousand. —
It was the awi'ullest shriek, and then
another, and then auothcr, and it can e

growling; and past me, all in a hurry •
as they go when they’ve boen doing i
mischief, fl.*w those dogs of Bolter’s— j
fierce devils —but they knew euough to
be atraid of me then.
“And when I saw *hem my heart
stoed still, and I swung the lantern low
again, and I savr her. She lay along
side the pond, and ber gray hairs were
dabbled in blood, and the mark of the
dog’s teeth were on her neck ; and I
jest took her up in my arms and carri
ed her along the road bone, and
brought her to the fire, and there I
cried over her and called her all the
pet names I used to call her when I
first had her a little, youm* thing; but
it wasn’t any use —she was jest as stiff
aDu cold, and I laid her on the bed,
and there she’s laid ever since. OS !
it’s dreadful !”
“Yes, and you deserve to be hung,”
•aid the old lady ; “but, now, suppose
she isn’t dead, and maybe she isn’t.—
Let us go over With you, aud stop and
fetch the doctor. Folks have been
drought to that seemed dead. Anyway,
it’s all right.”
“Well, I’ll do it,” said the man;
“but it’s no use, I know.”
The proprietor of the store called his
wife to wait on it, and he headed a pro
cession of his customers, and they all
went down to Dodd's cabin, nailing on
the doctor as they pasted his house,
and taking him with them. But when
tliy came to the lonely little house no
one cared to be the first to go in ; but
at last the doctor, as being be*t used
to such tbi ’gs, opened the door and
ntepped in. It was a mean little room,
aud furnished only with a table, two
chairs, some shelves, and a bed, and on
ibis bed sat an old gray eat washing her
face
As soon as Dodd’s eye rested on this
an’trial he uttered a cry of joy, aud
flew to her side; but she at once set up
her back and uttered a loud “Mee-ow,”
while her tail swelled to immense pro
portions.”
“Oh, l duu’t mind—l don’t nuind,”
said Dodd ;“I deterve you should be
mad at me—anything, anything, so as
you re alive. She's to ue to life again.
Glory, glory, gWry !”
“Why, you don’t mean to say yon
were talking about a cat all the while 7”
screamed the woman with the basket.—
You said she didn’t cook your meat
pn perlv, and ”
“Ma'am,” said Dodd, “I meant to
say she eat most of it for me, and tore
ami chawed what she didn’t, eat; but
she’s welcome. So that she’s alivo, l
dun t care. Though she’s weaned from
me ; L see that Our happy times are
over ; she doubts me.”
•‘Galled me iu to see a cat ) iudeed!”said
the duct- r
“Left my business for a cat!” cried
the storekeeper.
“Oit, what an old fool !” said the wo
man.
“Miaow !” yelled the attendant train
of bovs ; but old Dodd never looked at
them He liteued to none of their in
sults, and they left him doing his best,
rvitb tears in his eyes, to get that of
fended cat to take a little milk from a
saucer that he held before her lips, and

Sold as *‘ Pure Liquor.”
Cos sumers as well as retail dealers in
liquors will be interested in the follow
ing particulars aslative to the adulters
lion of liquors of every kind by the
wholesale importers of this city. From
the facts given it will be seen :
I. That fully one-half the *• import
ed ’ liquors sold here are of American
manufacture.
11. That not only the brands, but tie
stamped corks of fatuous foreign houses
are largely imitated in this country by
imposters of the best credit and stand
ing.
111. That importers regular’y adul
terate their imported liquors and sell
them to th i retailers as pure bonded li
quors.
IV. That the retailers then adulterate
them s second time, and sell them thus
doubly poiaouedacross the bar todeluded
customers.
V. That iD this imposition on the re
tailer, the importer has f he aid of the
keepers of the Government bonded Ware
houses
The ability of purchasers to judge
of the quality of samples is artfully as
certained before sales are effected, aod
the adulteration is made accord ngly.—
In nine casus out of ten the buyer is
incompetent to judge, and even when
the cask deliveied is far below the grade
of the sample selected, the buyer is
cintent to trust the marks of the bood*
ed warehouse as full guarantee that ha
has received the article wLioh he pur
chased.
An investigation of this 6yHem of
swindling, so far at least as the G'-vern
meit bonded warehouse is concerned,
has been made, and facts hafe be* n ob
tained involving many of the largest
importing houses in the liquor trade in

How to be Handsome.
Most people would like to be hand*
some. Nobody denies the great power
which any one may have who has a
handsome face and attracts you by geod
looks, even before a word has been spo®
ken. And we see all sorts of devic s
in men and women to improve their
looks.
Now, all oannot have good features
—they arc as God made them—but al
most anyone can look well, especially
with good beahh. It is hard to give
rules m a very short space, but in brief
these will do :
Keep clean—wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act freely, and it
takes caro of itself. Its thousaads of
air-holes must not be oloeed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough— not
too much The stomach can no more
work ail the time, night and day, than
a horse. It must have legulat work
aDd rest.
Good teeth ate a help to good looks.
Brush them with a soft brash, especial,
ly at night. Go to bed with cleansed
teeth. Of course to have white teeth
it is needful to let tobacco alone. All
women know that. Washea for the
teeth should be very simple. Acid will
whitens the teeth, but it takes off the
enamel stud injures them.
Sleep in a cool room,in pure air. No
ooe can have a dean skin who breathes
bad air. But more than all, wake up
mind and Soul.
When the mind is wake, the dull,
sleepy look paeses away from the eye.—
I do cot know that the brain expands,
but it seeios so. Think, and read, nut
novels, bat papers that have something
in them.
Men saj lbey cannot afford books,and
sometimes do uot even pay for a news
>apcr. lu that cave it does them little
good, they fed so mean while reading
them. if all the money spent in
self indulgence, iu hurtful in
dulgence, was spent in books or papers
for self improvement, we Should see a
change. Men would grow handsome,
and women, too. The soul would shine
out through the eyes. We were not
meant to bts mere animals. Let us have
books sad read them, and sermons and
heed them.

per right away, Landis, who shot a
New Jersey editor, lost his property,
his wife got a divorce, and he is fast
becoming a lunatic.” This clearly ess
tablishes the fact, which we have stren
uously endeavored for years to number
among the fixed and most salutary con*
victions of the reader, that the loftiest
achievement of the human mind is to
know whom to shoot.

An officer had a woodeu leg so ex
ceediagly made that it oould scarcely
be distinguished from a real one.— (
During a battle a cannon ball carried
it off. A soldier, who saw him fall
called out: <
‘ Quick ! run for the surgeon.”
“No,” replied the officer, “it is the
joiner I want.”

It is a great misfortune to have a j
fretful disposition, ft takes the fra- t
grance out of ones life, aod leaves only j
weeds where a cheerful disposition c
would cause flowers to bloom. lhe 1
habit of fretting is oQe that grows rap-. !
idly unless it be sternly repressed; and )
the best way to overcome it is to al” ,
ways to look on the cheerful side of
things.
Renovation, not Prostration.
Did any enfeebled human being ever
become strong uuder the operation of
dowerful cathartics or salivant ? It is
sometimes necessary to regulate the
bowels, but that cannot be done by ac*
tive purgatioj, which exhausts the v&til
forces and serves no good pu pose
whatever. The only true way to pro
mote health and vigor, which are essen*
tial to regularity of the organic func
tions, is to invigorate, discipline aod
purify the system at the same time
The extraordinary efficacy of Hostetler’s
Bitters in cases of debility or irrcgulari*
ty of the organ of digestion, assimula

tion, a regular habit of body, active cir
culation of the blood, and purity of all
the animal fluids are induced by tb : s
supeib tonic and corrective. It has no
equals, moreover, as a preventive of
chills and fever, types of malarial dis
ease. To emigrants aod travelers, it is
particularly serviceable as a medicinal
