He offered a kiss in the morning
I coldly turned away.
For an idle word that I overheard
Had rankled a night and day,
I know in trutli it was nothing
That he would have Washed to own ;
That point and sting of the trifling tiling
Grew otit of my heart alon.
But a vexed, unquiet spirit
Weighs uo matter aright,
And the sore sm.-.rt of a jealous heart
Puts reason out of sight.
I let him go in the morning
Without the kiss he sought ;
Andthe day waslpn?, but I nursed my wrong
With many a 'bitter thought.
One bitter thought, God kelp me !
Did not enter my brain ?
That kiss of mine, by word or sign,
Would bring me so much pain.
But as the evening shadows gathered,
My heart beg in to burn
With a quickened sense of its influence,
And I longed for his return.
Leaning against the window
That overlooked the street,
I strained my ear his step to hear
In the croud of hurrying feet.
Far off in the dimest distance,
I should have known it well ;
But there came instead a muffled tread,
And the sharp alarm of tha bell.
Some griefs, thn
deep and bitter,
Find at last their cures,
But some retain the old, old pain
As long as life endures.
I did not know in the morning
When I coldly turned away,
That I should mra and mourn that kiss
Down to my dying day.

grown up in the light of parental admira

and Sidf-estesm, is surprised to find, and of

ridiculed, his blunders exposed, his wishes
disregarded, and he is made to act in a very
sorry figure until his self conceit is abused,

After practicing medicine man- ytars in this city,
during which time I have had an extensive exponent e

do recommend yours as the hest in every respect, ior
it is a near perfection as modern science tan make it.
It has many advantages over the torturing sted-hcop
Trusses, which inflict great injury on the hips and
spine, bnnirinir on other distressing aiments, tuch is
lu :iba?o, D orbld affections oi the kidneys and numb
ness in the .lower limbs, all of which are avoided by
wariny; the California Elastic Truss. It is not only a
perfect retainer, eo nbining ease and comfort, but the
pressure can be changed to any degree. It alt-o re
mains in it proper place at all times, regardless of the
motions of the body, and is worn night and day with
1 icfect case. It is superior to any of the Ltic
T-usses now in the market, while it combines the
m irits of all. 1st -It is easily adjusted on and off
with snaps, doing away with straps and buckles.
2d The universal spring between the plate and pad
prevents all irritation, which is agod-SLiid to the suf
ferer. 3d Tae pad is adjusted on and off in an in
stant, and can be changed for any other size and form
most suitable to the case. In fact it combines every
quality essential to comfort and durability, and is un
epialed in lig'.itnes-t, elast'eity, natural action, and
arthtic finish. Many of my patients who arc afflicted
with hernia are wearing them, and all shall in the fu

Dramatic Failure. Upon rtie
choosing a proper vocation or catling
in life depends the success or liiiluie
of every individual. Because a per
son wins laurels ami is successful in a
certain pursuit or calling, is not evi
dence that lie or she would be suc
cessful in every undertaking iir life.
A strong case in point is that of An
na Dickinson, the popular and suc
cessful lecturer, of whom an exchange
says :
Anna Dickinson was quite as suc
cessful on the lecture stand asshewas
absurdly niit of place on the dramatic
stage. .Her late e.fiicrimciit has been
disastrous A liule fortune, accii
mulated by years of industrious ef
fort, has been swept away, and she
is deplorably in debt'. As a last re
sort, she has decided to lecture aiffttit,
and in her misfortunes will undoulu
edly receive from t he public a kind'y
welcome lo her old field, for which
she has indisputable talent.

A Mother's Influence. A man finds he
cannot make his wav in tiie world without
honesty and industry, so that, although his
father's example may do much, he has to de
pend upon his own exertions ; he must be
honest; or he cannot attain any enviable
rank. But the tender soothings of a mother,
her sympathy, her dev-otedness, her forgiv
ing temper all this sinks deep into aennn s
heart ; and let him wander ever so wide, let
him err, or let him lead a life of virtue, the
remembrance of all this comes like a holy
calm over his heart, and he weeps that he
has offended her, or he rejoices that be has
list net to her disinterested, gentle admonition.
