THE SUMMER ENDED.
Gather up your roses, sweet with breath of June,
All the .'till glories of burning August noon ;
.-carle: hearted strawberry, robins chirp and trill.
Jlonej-breath of meadows, bleating on the hill;
All your light and music, all your wealth of
flowers,
All the jeweled treasures of your moonlit hoars,
All the joy of living when the days are long,
Perfume, gladness, beauty, laughter, lore and
song ;
Ar.J bear them, radiant Summer, o'er the hills
away '.
Monty autumn Cometh in the morning gray
Mm the green leaves dancing glows the fruity
red;
Ghostly grows the harvest noon: Summertime has
fled !
ilo then, vanquished Summer ; go to some again !
Beauty is immortal nothing dies but pain ;
LuJ. ami bird, and blossoms, thou shalt yet re
store :
Only the lost love that returns no mors !
THE MINISTER OF MOHTCLAIB.
It was no ue ; the letters danced before
his eyes, the world seemed wavering and
uncertain in those days. He laid his book
d.,wn and began to think of the great trou
ble which was shutting him in. When the
Mark specks first began to dance between
l.i:u and hs paier, months ago, he had not
thought about the matter. It was annoy
inz. to be sure, but he must have taxed
bis eyes too severely. He would work a
li: de less by lamplight spare them a while
and lie should be all right. So he had
feared them more and more, and yet the
j-pecks kept on their elfin dance ; and now,
fur weeks, the conviction had been growine
on him slowly, that he was going to be
blind. lie had not told his wiffi yet how
c mil hu bear to lay on her shoulders the
burden ul his awful calamity? Oh, it was
ten !i:ird !
And yet. was it too hard ? Dared he say
s ! he, 'iod's minister who had told oth
er s'lfferers so many times, that their clias
tvniiK's were dealt out to theui by a kind
Father's hand, and that they should count
u!l that brought them nearer to Hiai as joy
ous nut grievous.
Yet, speaking after the manner of this
W'irld, his burden seemed greater than he
c.iu'.d bear. What could he do a blind,
helpless man? He must give up his work
in life let another tike his ministry ait
helpless in the darkness. Heaven only knew
how lung. Could he be thus resigned ?
Then suddenly a flash of hope kindled
hit iky. There might be help for him.
This gathering darkness might be souic
iliin; which science could remove. He
would b suie of that before he told ?Iary.
And then he became feverishly impatient.
He must know at once, it seemed to him
iie called his wife and tol - her, with a man
ner whieh he tried to make calm, that he
was going out of town the next morning, on
a little business. She wondered that he
wa so uncommunicative it was not like
Liiu but she would not trouble him with
any itietioni. She should know it all
sometime, she knew; still she thought
there was something strange in his way of
speaking.
The minister strove hard for t'.v5 maslery
of his ow n spirit, as the cars whirled him
along the nrxt morning, towards the tribu
nal at which he was to receive his sentence,
lie trid to think of something else, but
found the effort vain. So he said, over and
over, as simply as a child, one form of
words :
''Father, whichever way it turns, Oh,
Eire me strength to bear it."
Holding fast to a prayer, as to an anchor,
be cot out of the cars, and want into the
street. What a curious mist seemed to
-tirround all things! The houses looked
like spectres through it ; the people he met
seemed like ghosts. lit had not realized
I n di-feetive vision so much at home, where
K had come on him gradually, and all ob
jects were so familiar. Still, with an effort
lie could see the signs on the street corners,
and find his way.
lie readied at last, the residence of the
distinguished oculist for whose verdict he
lud ecmie. He found the parlor half filled
:li people, waiting like himself. lie was
a'e 1 for his name, and sent in a card on
wlii'-li was written. "Rev. William Spencer,
Montelair." Then he waited his turn. He
'isrel not thiuk how long the time was, or
what suspense he was in. He just kept his
simple child's jin-er in his heart, and stca-di'-d
himself with it.
The time came for him at last, and he
lu'.Iowed the boy who summoned him into a
little room shaded with green, with green
furniture, and on a tablo a vase of flowers.
The stillness of the cool-seented air refresh
ed him. He saw dimly, as he saw cvery-l"'.!-r
that morning, a tall, slight man, with
a kind face aoJ quiet manners, who addres
him by name, invited him to sit down,
a"d then inquired into his symptoms with
'' h tact and sympathy that he felt as if he
"is talking with a friend. At last the doc-t'-r
a-kej lim to take a seat by the window,
and have his eyes examined. His heart
!'-at chokingly, and he whispered uuder his
breath :
"Tliy will, Oh, God, be done; only give
n.e strength."
I'r. Gordon was silent for a moment or
two it seemed ages to Mr. Spencer. Then
be said, with the tenderest and saddest
Vlce, as he felt to the utmost all the pain
be wai inflicting :
'"I cannot give you any hope. The inal
a;ly is incurable. You will not loose your
ght just yet, but it must come soon."
J'he minister tried to ask how long it
would be before he should be blind ; but his
tongue seemed1 to cleave to the roof of his
mouth, and he could only gasp.
Dr. Gordon understood, and answered
very kindly, that it might be a month, pos
sibly two.
He stood up then to go. He knew all
hope was over. He paid his fee, and went
out of the' room, and out of the house. It
seemed to him things had grown darter
since he went in. He hardly knew how to
find his way to the cars. It was two hours
past his dinner time, and he was faint for
lack of food. He got to the station some
how, and waited for the train' to start for
Montelair. All the way home he kept
whispering to himself "one month, possi
bly two" as if it were a lesson on the get
ting by heart of which his life depended.
He heard the conductor call out Montelair
at last, and got off the cars mechanically.
His wife stood there, wilting lor him. She
had been anxious about him all day.-
"Oh, William !" she cried, and then she
saw his face and stopped. There was a look
on it of one over whom some awful doom is
pending ; a white, fixed look that chilled
her. She took his arm, and they walked
on silently through the summer afternoon.
When they reached home, and she had ta
ken off her bonnet, he spoke at last.
"Mary, come here, let me look at you. I
want to learn your face by heart."
She came and knelt by him, while he took
her cheeks between his hands and studied
every lineament.
"Are you going away?" she asked, after
a while ; for his fixed, silent, mysterious
gaze began to torture her.
"Yes, dear, I am going ; going into the
dark."
"To die?" she asked.
"Yes; to die to everything that makes
up a man's life in this world," he answered
bitterly.
"Mary, 1 am going blind. Think what
that means. After a few more weeks, I
shall never see you again, or our children,
or the dear, beautiful world where we lived
and loved each other. The whole creation
is only an empty sound, forcvenuore ! Oh,
God ! how can I bear this?"
"Is there no hope?" she asked with cu
rious calmness,' at which she herself was
amazed.
"None. It was my errand to town to
day to find out. I have felt it coming on
for mouths, but I bad hoped against hope,
and now I know. Oh, Mary, to sit in dark
ness until my death day, striving for a sight
of your dear face ! It is too bitter; and yet
what aui I saying? Shall my Father not
choose his own way to brine me to the light
of heaveu ? I must say, I will say, His
will be done."
Just then the children came romping in ;
boyish, romping Will ; shy, merry little
May.
"II ush, dears," the mother said softly;
"papa is tired. You had better run out
again."
"No, Mary, let them stay," he interpos
ed, and then he said, so low that his wife's
ears just caught the whisper, "I cannot see
them too much in this little while."
Oh, how the days went on after that !
Every day the world looked dimmer to the
minister's darkened eyes. He spent nearly
all the time trying to fix the things be loved
in his memory.
It was pitiful to see him going round over
each Well known, wed loved scene, noting
anxiously just bow those tree boughs, stood
out against the sky, or that hill climbed to
ward the sunset. He studied every little
flower, every fern the children gathered ;
for all creation seemed to take for him a
new beauty and worth. Most of all he
stud icd the dear home faces. His wife
grew used to the dim, wistful eyes following
her so constantly; but the children wonder
ed why papa liked so well to keep them in
sight ; why he did not read or study more.
There came a time at last, one Sunday
morning, when the brilliant summer sun
shine dawned for hint in vain.
"Is it a bright day, dear?" he asked,
hearing his wife moving about the room.
"Very bright, William."
"Open the blinds, please, and let the sun
shine in at the east windows."
Mary Spencer's heart stood within her,
but she commanded her voice, and answer
ed steadily :
"They are open, William. The whole
room is full of light."
"Mary, I cannot see; the time has come.
I am alone in the darkness."
"Not alone, my love !" she cried in a
passion of grief and pity, and teuderness.
Then she went and sat down beside him on
the ted, and drew his bead to her bosom,
and comforted him just as she was want to
comfort her children. After a time her
tender caresses, her soothing tones seemed
to have healed his bruised, tortured heart.
He lifted up his head and kissed her, his
first from out the darkness in which he
must abide, and thro sent her away. I
thiuk every soul, standing face to face with
an untried calamity, longs to be for a space,
alone with its God.
Three hours after that, the church bell
rang, and as usual, the minister and his
wife walked out of their dwelling, save that
now he lcaued on her arm. In that hoar
of seclusion, he had made up bis mind what
to do. They walked up a familiar way, and
she left him at the foot of the pulpit stairs,
and went back to her pew in front. He
groped up the stairs, and then rising in his
place, he spoke to the wondering congrega
tion.
"Brethren, I stand before you as one on
whom the lather's hand has fallen heavily.
1 shall never see you again in this world
you, iny children, for whose souls I hare
striven so long. I bae looked my last on
your kind, familliwr faces on this earth see
to this that I xal'JS none of you when my
eyes are unsealed again in' Heaven. Grant.
6b, Father, that of those whom Thou hast
given me, I may lose none."
There was not a' tearless face among1 those
which' were' Hf ted toward him as he stood
there, with his sightless eyes raised to Hea
tec, his hands outstretched as if to bring
down on them the blessing for which he
prayed. Some of the women sobbed audi
bly, but the minister was calm. After i
moment hi said :
"My brethren, as far as possible the ser
Tibes wilrpfdteed as usual"
Then, in a clear1 voice, in which there
seemed to his listeners' ears some unearth
ly sweetness,1 he recited the' one hundred
and thirteenth' psalm, commencing :'
"Out of the deep have I cried unto Thee,
Ob; Lord ; Lord, hear my voice 1"
Afterwards Ire gave out the first line of at
hymn, which the congregation sang. Then
he prayed, and some one said whtf heard
him, that the eyes closed on earth were
surely beholding the beautiful vision, for
he spoke as a son beloved, whose very soul
was full of the glory of the Father's presence.-
The sermon which followed was such a
one as they had never before heard from
his lips. There was power in it ; a lervor.a
tenderness which no words of mine can de
scribe. It was the testimony of a livine
witness who' has found the . Lord a very
present help in time of trouble.
When all was tfve'r, arid he came down
the pulpit stairs, his wife stood again at the
foot, and he took her ftrnl and went out
silently. He seemed to the wiitirfg congre
gation as one set apart and consecrated by
the attainting of special sdrrow, and they
dared not break ihe holy silence around
him, with their common light speeches.
r or three years more his voice called them
to pursue the better way ; arid then his own
summons came to go ttp higher". In those
three years he had sown more seed and
reaped more harvest than some men in a
long lifetime. He did his work faithfully,
and was ready when the hour came for him
to go houie. Just at the lasti when those
ho loved him best stood weeping at his
bed-side, they caught upon his face the ra
diance of light not of this wdrld. He put
out his hands with a glad cry
"I see; I see out of the dark into the
light."
And before they could ldok with awe or
wonder into each other's eyes, the gletry had
begun to fade, the outstretched hands fell
heavily, and they knew that the blind min
ister was gone "past night, past day,"
where for him there would be no more dark
ness.
HOW ICEllF.IUiS ARE FOHMED. Mr. Dun
more, who accompanied the Bradford art
expedition last year to Greenland, says, in
the Philadelphia Pliotografthcr :
The glacier comes moving slowly down
from the mountains, a great river of ice
thousands of feet deep, sometimes ten miles
wide, to the ford or bay at the foot of the
mountain. The Alpine glaciers roll dowu
into the warm valleys, and there, warmed
by the sun, melt away like a piece of wax
before a candle, and form brooks or rivers.
But in Greenland they cannot do that, it
is too cold. Therefore, as the ice at the
mouth of the glacier is pushed forward to
the water's edge, it must break off in pieces
and fall in ; and such pieces are icebergs.
When they break off the glacier is said by
the natives to "calve," or "an iceberg is
born."
I jan give you no idea of what a beautiful
sight it is to see an iceberg break off; but
we, who have seen it, will never forget it.
Think of a mass of ice as big as the space
of ground covered by the city of Boston fal
falling into the sea, and of the tremendous
crash that ocours when it breaks away from
its fellows, and they give it a parting salute
as they groan and howl their last farewell.
Now see the waves leap up forty feet into
the air, washing and . lashing the glacier
with spray, and sweeping everything away
not strong enough to bear the shock ; then
watch the new-born berg as it rocks in the
sea like a huge porpoise, up and down, drop
ping here and there portions of itself, which
dive down and reappear in all directions,
and you can imagine faintly what it is to see
a glacier "calve an iceberg." It is a long
time before the trouble of the waters end,
or before the new-born babe ceases to be
rocked, and still enough to have its picture
made. It is a sight one never tires of.
The next day our party started to go on
top of the glacier. It was very hard to get
on to with our cooking utensils and photo
graphic traps, it was so very steep. We
travelled six miles on the top of it. The
sight was grand from there. It was about
two miles wide, and the length of it we
could not tell, as it was hundreds of miles
The depth of it was from five hundred to
eight hundred feet. We made a few pic
tures, ate our dinner up there, and then
started back.
Is Yont Name Brown? Captain
tells an amusing occurrence witnessed by
him on board a foreign steamer. A gen
tleman most distinguished iu manners, and
formerly as great in diplomacy, was pacing
ud and down the upper saloon, when he sud
dnly stopped in front of a large full-length
mirror, and, alter gazing at tne ngure pre
sen ted for a moment or two, inquired, in a
very pleasant and affable tone : "Is your
name Brown? No answer. Uuestion re
neated louder: "Is your name Brown ?"
Still no answer. Ouestion again repeated
louder still: "Is your name Brown?" No
answer. "Well," said tha questioner, "you
arc cither no gentleman or very deaf." The
ealoon was in a roar.
The Double Elopement.
The little village of iu- - was one of
the many mining towns in the- ftiteriof of
California, and in this village dwelt Dr.
Hammond and his family. They were noted
for their kind hospitality, and for the interest
they took in the general affairs of the village.
So it very often happened that their on
ly daughter, Artie, was the befle of many
little social parties. There t was that she
repeatedly met a young man' by the name
of Charles Cavey. and his fancy for Miss
Artie's pretty fancy blue eyes, and dark
brown curls, kept him constantly by her
side.
But what I was going to tell you was
this that the Doctor had made np his
mind to spend the summer up near Lake
Tahoe, so be cculd have a fine time hunt
ing and fishing during the heated term,
and, as a matter of course, he wanted to
take his family with him, for he could not
think of leaving them down there in the ter
ribly hot weather of the summer.
Now Artie did not like this idea at all, so,
after having a good cry about it, she came
into the parlor where Mrs. Hammond sat
and said :
"Now, mamma, this is too bad ; just to
think of us going away off up into the
mountains, where wecau'tsee anything but
Indians and sage brush. I shall die, mamma,
I know I shall, If you take me away off up
there."
"I ? No, my dear," said Mrs. Hammond,
gently, "and to tell the truth, Artie, I shall
be glad to get you off up there where you
can't do so much running around. I am
about sick of this going all the Mine. "
"Well, lam not," said Miss Artie, with
an independent toss of her pretty head as
she weut off to the window. She had not
stood there long before she saw some one
coming up the liule lane which led to the
bouse. Then she turned to her mother, and
said :
"Oh, mamma, Charley Bavey is coming
her?."
"Yes, just as I expected,- you cannot
think of anything but Charley Bavey, now,''
said Mrs. Hammond, as she left the room.
She coon heard Artie and Charley talking
very low together, so she began to wonder
what they were Paying, and finally she
weut to the door to listen. She heard Charley
say:
"Yes, darling, I will come with the buggy
just at dark to-morrow, so we con go aud
get married in a short time. Your folks
won't think of such a thing until it's too
late."
"But, Cbnrley, suppose papa won't for
give us, said Artie.
"Oh, there's no danger but he will ; and
j'ou'll go, won't yon. Artie? Only think
what a heavy, lonesome life it will be with
out you, darling."
As Artie looked up into a pair of very
loving basel eyes, she smilingly said, "Yes,
Charley."
"Now, good night, darling, and by this
time to morrow night, you'll be my own dar
ling little wife."
Saying this, Charley kissed her, and was
gone.
Now, as Mrs. Hammond had been listen
ing all the time, she heard everything Char
ley said. So she said to herself, ironically,
"your dear little wife by thistime to-morrow
night. Oh, yes, we'll see about that."
But when Artie came out her mother was
sitting at the table, sewiug. She looked up
and asked :
"Well, Artie, has Charley gone so soon ?"
"Yes, mamma," was all Artie said, as she
left the room.
The next day passed off at last, and just
at dark a buggy drove up to the front
gat.
"Now," thought Mrs. Hammond, "I'll
show them a trick that's worth two of
them."
So she put on Artie's cloak and hat and
ran down to the gate. A gentleman very
gallantly helped her into the buggy, but
ucver spoke a word.
"Well," thought she, "he's afraid to
speak for fear Artie's father and mother
would hear him. Ahem!"
So away they went, and Mrs. Hammond
sat there thinking what a nice trick she had
played on Artie by running off with Charley.
Then she began to wonder if this was the
way he treated Artie when they went out
riding; and next, what would the doctor
say? But what puzzled her most was tbat
they were going in the opposite direction
from what she had expected. So at last
she said :
"Well, Charley, had'nt we better go
home?"
Imagine her surprise to hear the doctor's
voice answer her :
"What I Maggie, is that you? What in
the name of all that's good, bad, and indif
ferent, are you doing here?"
"Oh, doctor, I thought it was Charley 1"
"Well, I'd like to know where you were
going with Charley at this time of night?"
"Well, the fact of it is, Maggie, as I sat
on the poi ch last evening, I overheard Char
ley and Artie talking about running off to
get married, so I thought I'd just save
Charley the truble, and take Artie out for
a ride. I began to think she was keeping
very stilL"
"Doctor," said Mrs. Hammond, "that is
just what I heard, and my object in gojng
with Charley was the same as yours was in
taking Artie off."
"We are a couple of pretty fools to be
eloping in this way ; but here we are at
home again."
Saying this, the doctor belped his wife
out of the buggy, and they went into the
house. One glance at the empty rooms
convinced them that Artie was gone,
they could easily guess where. So they
made up' their mind t-0 make the best of if,
and wait for the runaways to corue home.
And the next morning,- when Mr. and
Mrs. Charley Bavey came home to implore
forgiveness for running off to get married,
they could not understand the mischievous
twinkle in Dr. Hamaiond's eyes, as he very
readily forgave them, and said :-
"Certainly, children-;- t ran off with
mother once and didn't know it"
Charley and Artie looked from one to the
oCher, and asked :
"How? when? where?"
The doctor only laughed, and shook his
head as though the story was too good to
tell, and that was all they ever could get
out of him.

The bladder is eomposed ef varices eeverings

Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upr or

urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently occurs
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac

rious reactions. II they ere neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect
the bodily health and mental powers, as eur fleh

Philadelphia, Ta., Feb. 25, 1867.
U. T, HELMBoi.n. Druggist:
Dear Sir : I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment ef the most eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician ia
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I had used all kinds ef ad
vertised remedies, and had found Iheui worthless,
and some quite injurious; in fjet, I despaired ef
ever getting well, and determined te use ne rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was ooea posed of buchu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
uiy physician as an excellent combination, and,
a ith his advice, after aa examination of the arti
cle, and conwltiog again with tbe druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its ia about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the first bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt
much like writtfigyow a full statement of my case
at that time, hut thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore eoncluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect euro,
knowing then it would be of greater value to you
and more satisfactory to we.
I asu now able to report that a care is effected
after ating the remedy for five months.
I have net used any now for three months, and
fed as well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Duehu being devoid oi any rnplcaunt
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the
system. I do not mean to be without it whncver
occasion may require ita use in such affeotions.
