LOVE IN A COTTAGE.

[Written fob the ' Observer.'] They took delight, in each shiny night, And arm linked in arm strolled lovinglee — While no sound was heard, save a tender word, And tne nyum, nyuvn, nyum of that he and she 5. And adown the stream of their love's young dream They gaily sailed with the flowing tide, Till he married she, and she married he, And he was a hub, and she was a bride. No more delight in a shiny night, No more nyutn-nyuras 'ueath a spreading tree — For 'tis work, work, work, and work, work, work For that toiling he and that weary she ; v "'■ And memory turns, with yearning yearns, To that happy, careles3, nyuinming time, 'Ere family cares had frosted their haira, And aged them both before their time. And the deep delights of those shiny nights Seem to them both but as old-time scenes — They must cut and contrive, to be ever alive To the burning question of ways and means ; And worry and care for ever brood there, .„ '£ ,# And take from their holidays all the zest— .& ? i For hard work must pay for a little play, Until they go to their long, long rest.

"Wicked for diBKGrMEN. — " I believe it to h& all wrong, and even wicked, for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack, doctors or vile stuffs called medicines, but wlxev a really meritorious article is madp up of common valuable remedies known to all, and that all physicians useand trust in daily, we should freely commend it. 3C therefore cheerfully and heartily oommerifl Hop Bffcterfe-£ for. tho ! good they hare dona me and my. frieuds, firmly v . believing they have no equal for family use. I will nojr< v be without them."— Rev. , WashiDston^R-Cfr^EeiaL^"
