THE ORPHAN.

Out in the cold of a winter's night, Far from a parent's prayer ; Out in the closing, gloomy light, Oh, pity the orphan there. Hark ! does he pray ?— on the cold street he stands ; List ! what aoes he say? " Oh, God !" he pries, and clasps Ins hands, While swift fall the shadows grey. " Oh. God, if Thou in the Heaven above Wilt list to the orphan's ciy, Wilt Thou take me up in 'I bine arms of love To that beautiful home on high ? For oft when I dream its glories I see, I behold its streets of gold ; Oh, Christ, in Thy mercy have pity on me, Or I die out here in the cold." Out in the dreary winter night, Ragged, poor, and alone ; The passers head not his sorry plight, Nor hear the orphan's innan, And clown he sink* iv the fleecy scow 1 At the close of this winter day, Praying to God to succour him, His spirit fled away. Portobello, April 11. — James M. Peebles.

The Darlington, Wis., Journal says editorially of a popular patent medicine. "We know from experience that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy is all that is claimed for ifc, as on two occasions it stopped excruciating pains and possibly saved us from an untimely grave. We would not rest easy over night without ifc in the house." This remedy undoubtedly saves more pain and ■uffering than any other medicine in tha world. Every family should keep it iv the house, for it is sure to be needed sooner or later. For sale by all leading chemists.
