SABBATH THOUGHTS. To the Friends of Patrick died Tuesday Morning, May 1J, 1877. Aged 79 years. Our old friend has passed away, never see him more; We shall i.ever hear fcotrtep, Nor see hie lovod £arm at the door; He has gone from UB forever.

To never-ending noma; Yet his memory will tie green with us As through this world we roam: His kind word and pleasant smile Are now memories of the past, We shall never see nor hear them While our mortal life does last; But If we can gay, as we are passing away Of all the bright days of our life That should bo the happiest day. He would not be contented While he lingered en this shore Waiting for the summons Which was to call him o'er; He would toll from dawn to duslc. And never murmuror complain, And therefore we should bear in mlna "Our loss is hit eternal gain." His troubles are now ended. His dtty's work forever done; He beads no more the evening bell Or the rising of trie sun; And he leaves this sweet consolation To his frlendn above the sod. That while he dwelt upon this earth He was "the noblest work of God." Friend.

Vegetine 'B now prescribed in eases of Scrofula mid other diseases of the blood, by many of tho best phy- Plcians, to its success iu curiug all diseases of this nature.

Vegetirie Does not deceive invalids into falsa hopes by mid creating a llctitious appetite, but assists nature in clearing and purifying tho whole system, leading the patieut gradually tope tfeet health. Vegetine "Was looked upnn as an experiment for by EOIUO of our best physicians, hut most incredulous in regard to its merit are now Its most ardent friends and supporters.

Hearing of Us many wonderful lures, after all other remedies had failed, I visited the laboratory and convinced myself of iti germinc merit. It id t'i'epftred from barks, roots uid herbs, each of which is highly effective, and ihoy arc compounded in such a mauuer as to produce astonishing results."
