A n amb i en t g a r m e n t enc i rc led her, W o v e n o f mj ' s t i c air,

A n d o 'e r her b r o w in beauty fe l l

L o n g threads o f g o l d e n ha i r . A net o f c l oud -wrough t s i l ve r

H e r tresses d id ensuare, A n d when I t r ied to touch hc r

She van ished in to air .

I sought her hand to c lasp i t — H e r sp i r i t -hand—in mine .

F o r there i t lay l ike a r osy shell Seen th rough the f r o thy br ine.

A n d sense-entranc ing odors

I n mists encom passed arere , F r o m flowers wh ich had fa inted

I n g i v i n g the i r breath to her .

But as I prest her a i r y hand I t seemed to m e l t a w a y ,

T h o u g h i t le f t an impress where i t t o u c h e d L i k e the kiss of a vanished day .

A n d as she floated by m e She k ind led m y r o o m w i th l i ght ,

L i k e a star that has dr i f ted ea r thward T o say to the w o r l d " Good night.''

H a d she then a " G o o d n i g h t " f o r me , D o w n on this earth so far ?

Y e s — a n d had b r o u g h t m e a lily from, heaven,

T o lay in m y bosom aud wea r . A t last to w o r d s her l i p s t r emb led ,

A s petals o f roses m i g h t When the z ephy rs s top to k iss t h em

A s they pause in w a y w a r d flight.

" Th i s l i l y pure was sent to thee B y one w h o cou ld n o t s tay ,

But just beh ind the va i l she wa i t s

Th ine i m m o r t a l i t y . " T h i s said, she smiled and kiss 'd it,

On m y p i l l o w there i t lay, T h e n into a turre t o f darkness

She f loated in c loud a w a y .

A n d when I am sad and w e a r y W i t h earth 's dull masquerade ,

I think of that n i gh t ' s swee t v i s i on A n d wha t the ange l said,

W h e n on m y restless p i l l o w She laid this l i ly o f l ove ,

T o strengthen m e f o r days to c o m e T i l l that one b r i g h t day above .

Seated one day at the o rgan , I was wea r y and ill at ease,

A n d m y f ingers wandered l i gh t l y Ove r thc no isy keys .

I k n o w not wha t I was p lay ing , Or wha t I was d reaming then ;

But I struck one chord o f music L i k e the sound of a g r ea t A m e n .

I t flooded the cr imson t w i l i g h t L i k e the close o f an ange l ' s psalm,

A n d i t l a y on m y f e ve red spir i t W i t h a touch o f in f in i t e ca lm .

P R O S P E C T U S or THE

N E W R E P U B L I C . | A t a time so momentous as the present, there is an I Imperative demand for the exercise of all thc wisdom, I heroism, self-sacrifice, charity, and the forgetting of 1 all past differences, and the sinking of al) worldly | ambition in one sublime, prayerful , determined, bro-' thorly effort to save our beloved country Trom the terrible ruin that more than threatens to swallow up our liberties, prosperity, peace. How to conquer the rebels is not all of the great problem that must be settled before there is any certainty that we, as a

. nation, have anything in the future to hope for. | The NEW REPUBLIC has two leading and distinctive objects: First, by humble and modest, but earnest

| and thorough effort, to promote, to the fullest extent : of its abi l i ty, that fraternity of feel ing among all 1 parties and classes of society, on which our salvation so vital ly depends. Second, to discuss, in a free, un-trammeled manner, but in no partisan, dogmatical, or dictatorial spirit, all of those fundamental and practical questions aud principles of Government and Human Rights which the adjustment of our national politics wil l involve.

The aim of the NEW REPUBLIC wil l be to combine earnest and energetic radicalism with a wise conserv-atism. It wil l advocate all rational reforms and seek

, to promote a greater unity of feel ing, and concert of P E N N S Y L V A N I A C E N T R A L R. R - F o o t of Cort- : n c t j o n , and comprehensiveness of v iew, among all n ml t Sf for Pliil.nl.-li.lio nn, t),.- WdH 7 4 M i ' ' "

T h r e e H u n d r e d P r e s c r i p t i o n s for the treatment and cure of over one hundred dif fer-ent diseases and forms of disease incident to this cl imate.

f£iT The Author's Prescriptions are given in the light

of the " Superior Condition," a state in which every

organ and function of the human system is transpa-

the greatest variety of cases.

THE HARBINOER or HEALTH cannot fail to awaken intense interest iu the minds of the most intel l igent of the Medical Profession, and wil l prove invaluable to the general reader, containing, as it does, informa-tion concerning methods of treatment hitherto unknown

to the world, and imparting important suggestions re-specting the

S E L F - H E A L I N G E N E R G I E S , which are better than medicine.

It is a plain, simple guide to health, with no quack-ery, no humbug, no universal panacea.

No recent magazine-paper has excl 'ed more genera? interest than the articlc in the Atlantic Monthly for August, on tho " New Gymnastics." The present work is a complete exposition of the system of which that article gave a synopsis.

The author of this work has been for many years engaged in teaching Gymnastics. The book describes and i l lustrates his NEW SYSTEM OF PHYSICAL TRAIN-ING. This system has had the practical test of long and varied use. It comprises exercises with DUMB-BELLB, RINGS, WANDS, CLUBS, kc., a l l of w h i c h a r e made perfectly clear by full explanations, while many are illustrated by pictorial represeniations of the po-r t ions of the body required to perform them.

THE DUMB-BELL INSTRUCTOR, connected with this work, is of the highest interest and importance. It-is designed for home use, and gives a great variety of Dnmb-Bell Exercises, together with a careful ly-selected progressive series of every-day practice.

TIIE PANGYMNASTIKON is a very simple, useful, an-2 cheap piece of gymnastic apparatus, upon which all

gymnastic exercises may be performed, and which can be introduced, at small cost, into any pr ivate house. It is fu l ly described and illustrated in this volume.

The " N E W GYMNASTICS" shonld be read in every family in the land where exercise is valued as a means of health. Ladies, especially, will find in i i a great var iety of easy, simple, and invigorating exer-

all of which may be practiced in their o w o homes.

Notwithstanding the great expense attendant upon the preparation of thc " New Gymnastics," by reason of the 300 illustrations contained in it, the publishers offer it at the low price of ONE DOLLAR. They do this in the belief that the work wil l be an important means for the restoration and preservation of health wherever its teachings are fol lowed, and in the hope that It may thus find the universal circulation due i ts merits.

This Salve is charged with electro-magnetic pro-perties, which have been imparted to it by a peculiar process. An aura, or aromatic atmosphere, is contin-ually emanating from it, in consequence of the posi-

tive and negative, repulsion of its atomical electro-magnetical principles, thereby rendering iUsefficiency in cases of Consumption very great.
