Poetry .

•THE FUTURE LIFE . BY WILLIAM CULLEN 11 RYANT . How shall I know thee in the sphere which keeps The disembodied spirits of the dead , When all of thee that time could wither sleeps , And perishes among the dust we tread ?

For I shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain , If there I meet thy gentle spirit not ; Nor hear the voice I love , nor read again In thy serenest eyes the tender thought .

Will not thy own meek heart demand me there ? That heart whose fondest throb to me was given ; My name on earth was ever in thy prayer , And wilt thou never utter it in heaven ?

In meadows fanned by heaven ' s life-breathing wind , In the resplendence of that glorious sphere , And larger movements of the unfettered mind , Wilt thou forget the love that joined us here ?

The love that lived through all the stormy past , And meekly with my harsher nature bore , And deeper grew , and tenderer to the last—Shall it expire with life and be no more ?

A happier lot than mine , and larger light , Await thee there ; for thou hast bowed thy will In cheerful homage to the rule of right , And lovest all and renderest good for ill .

For me , the sordid cares in which I dwell Shrink and consume my heart as heat the scroll ; And wrath has left its scar—that fire of hell , Has left its frightful scar upon my soul .

Yet , though thou wearest the glory of the sky , Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name , The same fair thoughtful brow and gentle eye , Lovelier in heaven ' s sweet climate , yet the same ?

Shalt thou not teach me in that calmer home Thc wisdom that I learned so ill in this—The wisdom which is love—till I become Thy fit companion in that world of bliss ? —The Freemason , St . Louis , Mo .

Sung in the Joppa Lodge , Cape Town . To Thee , Great Architect of AH , We humbly bend , devoutly call , Assist us with Thy presence here , To us in goodness lend Thine ear ; Show us The Light , Thou First Great Cause , And guide our footsteps by Thy Laws ;

MASONIC HYMN ( ST . HERMAS ) .

Stretch out thc line , thc plumb-rule bring , Guage well the circle's mystic ring ; Our actions level on the square , Chisel and gavel use with care—So shall we " Perfect Ashlars be , Within the compass held by Thee .

Oh , grant us wisdom from above , With strength and pure fraternal love ; Then beauty shall our structure grace , And unity within this place For ever dwell , till , summoned hence , With Thee we seek our recompense . So mote it be . E . L . L . Cape Town , Aug . 26 , 1870 .

REPORT of Dr . Arthur Hill Hassall , Analyst of the "Lancet" Sanitary Commission , Author of " Food audits Adulterations , " & c , & c , on Mayav ' s Semolina : " I have carefully tested , chemically and microscopically , the samples of Semolina sent by Messrs . L . Mayar & Co ., 36 , Mark Lane , London , E . C . I find them to be perfectly genuine , of excellent quality , and eminently nutritious . They contain a very large percentage of nitrogenous matter , chiefly gluten , and are far more nutritious

than any other food , such as Arrowroot , Tapioca , Sago , Com Flour , Farinaceous Food , ordinary Wheat Flour , or any of the Cereals in use as food in this country . — ( Signed ) ARTHUR HILL HASSALL , M . D ., London . " - - Highly recommended by the Faculty for Infants , Invalids , & c . Makes delicious Pudding , Custards , Blanc Mange , & c . After a trial no family will be without Mayar ' s Semolina . BREAKFAST . — EPPS ' S COCOA . — Grateful and

Comforting . —The very agreeable character of this preparation has rendered it a general favourite . The Civil Service Gazette remarks : — " By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition , and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa , Mr . Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills . " Each packet is labelled— J AMES EPPS AND Co ., Homoeopathic Chemists , London . Also , makers of Epp ' s Cacaoine , a very light , thin , evening beverage . —[ Advt . ] HOLLOWAV ' S PILLS . — Youthful Infirmities . —

With symptoms scarcely perceptible at first , which this restorative medicine would radically remove , the young become prematurely enervated and debilitated . They Iose _ alike their looks , energy , and confidence . Thc general cause of this melancholy state is a disordered stomach or deranged liver , which Holloway's pills will regulate . By improving digestion and purifying the blood they work wonders .

They act so kindly , yet so certainly , upon every organ necessary for healthy digestion , that the nervous system soon recovers , and the wonted good spirits speedily return with strength , vivacity , and vigour . The most delicate may safely take Holloway ' s pills . They cause no violent effects upon the system , and gradually accomplish their end without much restriction in diet or pleasure . —fAdvt . ]

CROSBY ' S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXER . —Opiates Narcotics , and Squills are too often invoked to give relief in Coughs , Colds , and all Pulmonary diseases . Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at the expense of enfeebling the digestive organs and thus increasing that debility which lies at thc root of the malady , modern science points to Crosby ' s Balsamic Cough Elixer , as the true remedy . —Select Testimonial . Dr . Rooke , Scarborough , author of thc " Anti-Lancet , " says : "I have

repeatedly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued cough , Pain , and irritation of the chest in cases of pulmonary consumption , and I can , with the greatest confidence , recommend it as a most valuable adjunct to an otherwise strengthening-treatment for this disease . " —This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only allays the local irritation , but improves digestion and strengthens the 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 throad and chest-Sold by all respectable Chemists and Patent Medicine Dealers , in bottles at is . od ., 4 s . 6 d . and ns each , and wholesale by J . M . CROSBY , Chemist , Scarborough . * * * Invalids should read Crosby ' s Prize Treatise on " Diseases of the Lungs and Air-Vessels , " a copy of which can be obtained gratis of any respectable Chemist . —[ Advt . ]
