The Mason's Hope.

THE MASON'S HOPE .

BY BRO . A . C . SWAIN . When Life's fond hopes are rudely wreck'd , Upon Misfortune's rugged shore ; AVhen those we lov'd have pass'd away , And cheer our lonely path no more . 5 Tis then the Mason ' s soul finds rest ,

In one bright hope that fadeth not ; That still endureth in his breast , Though desolate may seem his lot . 'Tis then , in sorrow ' s darkest hour , He lifts his weeping eyes above ;

And by the beacon light of Faith He recognises Heaven's love ; He feels however great his trials Each chast'ning is in mercy sent , And life hath some sweet pleasure still , For joy with grief is often blent .

And though the latter shades his path , God ' s love will guide him safe through all ; AVill cheer him with the blessed hope Of joy to compensate for all ; Of joy in that fair blissful home , AVhere sorrow ' s tears shall cease to flow ; And happiness shall take the place Of trials he suffers here below .

CROSBY'S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXIR . OPIATES , Narcotics , ancl Squills , are too often invoked to give relief in Coughs , Colds , and all Pulmonary Diseases . Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief al Ihe expense of enfeebling the digestive organs ancl thus increasing thai debility which lies at the root of the malady , modern science points to CROSBY'S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXIR as the true remedy . SELECT TESTIMONIAL . Dr . Rooke , Scarborough , author ofthe "Anti-Lancet , " says : — " I have repeatedly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued Cough , Pain , ancl Irritation of the Chest in cases of Pulmonary Consumption , and I can , with the greatest confidence , recommend it as a most valuable adjunct to nn otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . " This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only allays the local iritation , but improves digestion and strengthens thc constitution . Hence it is used with the most signal success in Asthmas , Bronchitis , Consumption , Coughs , Influenza , Night Sweats of Consumption , Quinsy , and all affections of the throat and chest .
