aw ye the farmer at las plow,
As ye were riding by?
Or wearied, 'neath the noon-day toil,
When the summer suns were high !
And thought you that his lot wa3 hard,
And did you thank your God
hat you and yours were not condemned
Thus like a slave to plod?
Come see him at his harvest home
- When garden, field and tree.
Conspire with flowing store to fill
His barn and granary; ,
His heaithful children gaily sport
' Amid the new mown hay,
Or proudly aid with vigorous arm
His tasks as best they may.
The Harvest Giver is is friend,
The Maker of the soil,
And earth, the mother, gives them bread,
And cheers their patient toi!;
Come join them around their wintry hearth,
The heartfelt pleasures see,
And you can better judge how blest
The Farmer's life may be.

exclusively devoted to tbe cure of the vari
ous forms'of Nervous and Physical Debility,
the results of injurious habits acquired in
yo-.th. which usually terminate in impotenca
and sterility, and permanently induce all the
concomitan-Gf old age. Where a secret in-
firmi v exists, involving the happiness of a
life and that of others, reason and mor
ality dictate the necessity of its removal, for
it is a fact that premature decline of the
vigor of manhood, matrimonial unhappiness,
compulsory single life. etc.,have their sources

terwards ; patients, laboring under this cam-
plaffrt, will complain of one or more ortbe

pains in the back and head, weakness ot
m mory and sight, discharge from the Ure-
tha on going to stool, or making water, the
intellectual faculties are weakened, los ot
memory ensues, ideas are clouded, and there
is a disinclination to attend to business, or
even to reading, writing.or society of friends.

dizziness, vertigo, and that "thesight and
hearing are weakened, and sleep dis
turrbed by dreams, melancholy, sighing.
palpitations, coughs anr slow fever; while
some have external rheumatic pains, ana
numbness of the body. Some of the most
common symptoms tire pimples in the face,
and aching in different parts of the body.
