I Wait for Thee.
The hearth is swept, the tire ie bright,
The kettle singe for tea;
The cloth is spread, the lamp is light,
The muffins smoke in napkins white,
And now I wait for thee.
Come home, love, come—thy task is done,
The sleek ticks listeningly ;
The blinds are shut, the curtain down,
The arm-chair to the fire-side drawn,
'The boy is on my knee.
Come home, love, come—his deep, fond eyes,
Look round him wistfully ;
And when the whispering winds go by,
As if thy welcome steps were nigh; '
He crows exultingly.
In vain—he finds the weloome vain,
And turns his glance on mine
So earnestly, that yet again
His form unto my'heart I strnin,
That glance is so like thine.
Thy task Is done-'-'we miss thecitiere,

THE CRUCIBLE ;
Or. Tests of a Regenerated State, designed to bring to light

True. By Riff. J. A. GOODHUE, A. M. With an
Introduction by Rev. E. N. Bilk, D.D. 12mo. Cloth,
$l.OO.
This volume cannot fail to' stimulate relighaus• thought
and discussion. It presents novel, original and startling
views. It places within the Christian fold many who claim
no place there; cuts off from it isiany'who consider them
selves entitled to all its privileges, and applies tests of
.spiritual obaracter which are vitally distinct from those
wnich are current in the popular religion of the day. It
Is one of the books to be read, marked and Inwardly
digested.

by the Press, for our felloweifijust what we do for
Calvary congregation - every Sabbath; that is, to expound,
explain and preath to them the Word of the Living (kid.

where there is no pastor or evangelist to open his mouth
and show the way of salvation and into the crowded vil
lage of miners, farmers, and tiaiidrishi, l where as yet there
is no house at worship, we desire to send the Hammiest,' to
~open to them the Scriptures, and preach unto them Jesus.
It is well knOWn that's large'number'of the half million' Of
souls that are on this coast; do not attend• anj church or

Aware of the folly which leaJa certain weak minds to

writer of this volume has endeavored to depict a character
purified and ennobled by early trials, not TITITIECIId or eaeg•
Berated; a character which has rte coutitarpart around us,
in many a happy home.
She has .endeavored to ehow that , although denied by
.Providence those natural the, io sweet when hallowed by
true piety, she may still' gather' around her a circle of
loving hearts; who reverence her name and, rejoice In' the
sunlight which she everywhere creates.
Let our sister'ffillths and 'Aunt' //Wye' learn that 'there
is no need of Isp•doge and Pet cater, to engross their affec.

their hearth green, their spirits young and Joyous, let them
freely with youth, ministering 'to their happiness,
soothing their troubles, and directing their young ' steps ;.If
they would be saved from gloomy discontent, let them
frequent the homes of the poor and suffering, and they

DR:' R. A. WILSON'S 'PILLS.
Having retired from the practise of medicine, I may be
permitted to gay that it has fallen to the lot of but few
persone to have enjoyed so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my own has been for the last •thirty
lor forty years.
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
tad of my having been twice, sines 1880, associated with
Dr. R. IL Wilson ' in the practice of medicine , (in both a
period of five yeare,) enables me to judge fully of the merits
of Ids Oh.
Bo convenient, so efficient, and yet so Safe, did I esteem
these pills, that for the last five years in practice; for the
cure of chronic diseases of whatever name. and those of
females in particular, I base need more of them than all
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must
fall in some instances, but in my hands there has been less
di/appointment and more satisfaction in tie administration
of this one remedy than of all others—its good effects
sometimeequite astonishing me.
if my patient ref/aired a safe aperient medicine; either
.before or after paranition, the Wilson's Pills were just the
thing I wanted. ,
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
wish costiveness, or inactivity of the liver, constituted tb.
,disease of my patient, the pills were just the thing I
wanted.
If I treated a cue requiring an emmenagegrie, the Wil
son's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
If palpitation headache, flushed countenance, or other
difficulties indi cating a disturbance of the circulatory and
secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
Thai!, without respect to the names disease might happen
to wear at the time I have bad it under treatment, particu
lar indications or symptoms arising were always most '
promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes
apparently opposite ones, in which I have need those pills,
should be cured more readily by them' than by any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it is so, is as clear to my mind as that a great many
persons should become thirsty *from as many different
miles, and yet all require that common and greatest or all
•blessings; water, in quench their thirst.
In conclusion, it Is due the reputation of medicine and
the public to say, decidedly and nu - conditionally, that the
Wilson's Pills' are the - Only combioatia I have ever met
with in mytenrg course of practice that really 'possess any
thing curative or specific for sh,khriadache:
