TWICE A CHILD. 
BY D. T>. REYNOLDS. 
An aged man eat in a porch alone, 
His time-bowed head upon a staff reclined; 
Faint on his sense fell childhood’s gleeful tone, 
His ears alas I were dull, his eyes were blind. 
Spring's early growth or green was on the ground; 
Spring’s softest zephyrs swayed the trees full-leaved; 
Spring's wild bird songs gushed through the fields 
around, 
And glimmering waters slowly sunk and heaved. 
Yet faint the old man's throbbing heart, and slow 
The tide of life dragged feebly through his veins; 
The songs he heeded not, nor felt*the glow, 
But sighed In very consciousness of pains; 
And stooping lower, marked upon the sands, 
And dreamed, and lost hie weariness in dreams 
Which led him backward into distant lands, 
To snn himself in Memory’s blessed beams. 
Around him gathered visionary forms, 
His best beloved peopled his solitude; 
Nor heeded he that all, engulfed by storms, 
Like wrecks upon Time’s troubled waves were 
strewed. 
He felt the pressure of a loving hand, 
He heard a voice of accent soft and low; 
And flitting near were all his household band— 
Thought, love-entranced, swayed round them to and 
fro. 
Yet, wandering still down life's uneven way, 
He stretched his aged staff into his youth, 
And passed through childhood's gate out Into day, 
Laden with wealth of childhood's faith and truth. 
A path broke forth, far up Heaven's glorious steep, 
A path so radiant that our pilgrim smiled; 
And shining ones catne down to guide his feet 
Who'd been but once a man, but twice a child.

GROWING STRONG. 
BY MART HARTWELL. 
[Concluded from page 372 last number.] 
The days went by, as the first days of such hap- 
pineEB do, like a golden panorama. The girl 
went about her home, brighter and lighter- 
hearted than ever, till it seemed that the sun¬ 
light of her own inner world overflowed the 
whole domestic sphere. No one but her mother 
knew the cause, for her joy seemed too sacred 
to impart to others, even to Maggie; though her 
heart sometimes smote her with a suspicion of 
ungratefulness for this. 
Just two weeks after her betrothal, Maggie 
came one day, with a very long face, and bine 
eyes swimming in tears. Nettie could sympa¬ 
thize with her girlish tronble all the more 
readily now, but her lips were cleft with a ring¬ 
ing laugh as she entered her complaint. 
“O Nettie, I wonder if men were made only 
to be a pest! After I went and engaged myself 
to Walter Jones, and was so good to him, he 
got jealous just because I went riding two or 
three times with Fred, and didn’t refuse the 
bouquets he sent me. And Walter says 1 must 
cease 6uch intimacy or break oil our engagement. 
Just as if he has a right to control me, before I 
getfmy head in the yoke t And then be went 
off, 60 stern and cold that I couldn’t tease him a 
hit; and I’m afraid he’6 angry with me. What 
shall Ido? It would ’most kill me to lose him. 
I think after all, I like him lots more than I do 
Fred,” 
What wonder Nettie Jennifer could not re¬ 
veal the secret depths of her nature to such a 
volatile little piece of humanity! 
“ I would send for him and apologize, prom¬ 
ising to offend him no more.” 
“Dear me ! that would be just as good as giv¬ 
ing up to him, and I shall not be dictated to by 
any man!” 
“Maggie, this man haB a right to question 
your conduct. How should you like it, if he 
were to flirt with every girl iu town, quite indif¬ 
ferent as to your feelings?” 
“ 0 men have lots of priveleges they won’t 
allow us women! They go where they please, 
and say what they please; but we poor little 
victims must do as they say. O, Nettie, that 
just reminds me of something I heard to day 
about Francis Albin! It’s such a pity, when 
he is so killingly handsome and attractive! But 
I suppose the handsomer a man is, the more he 
thinks he can trespass.” 
“What have you heard?” asked Nettie, 
calmly. 
“fused to think you liked him a little, and he 
has been so attentive lately, I thought that may¬ 
be you ought to know— but I don’t like to say 
it.” 
“ Go on,” said her friend, quietly. 
“ Why, he was seen la6t nLht—oh! 60 intoxi¬ 
cated; just reeling against the fence! Why, 
how pale you are! But don’t it make one’s 
heart ache to think he could throw himself 
away so?” 
Ah ! little did the butterfly think how the 
heart of that true girl beside her ached. Nettie 
rose and walked across the room to a table 
where some breadths of pretty silk lay. 
“ How are you going to have the sleeves cut 
for that dress ?” queried Maggie, bounding to 
her 6idc. “01 saw such a love of a pattern that. 
Mrs. Norton has just received, and I’ve ordered 
my new barege cut so 1” 
“ I have not thought about it,” the girl an¬ 
swered steadily. 
“Well, you come down this afternoon, and 
my drees will be sent home, then you can Bee 
them. But I must run right home now, and do 
as you* say about Wat. TaR. You’re such a dar¬ 
ling, and always know better than I. Bye bye.” | 
Humming a fragment of the latest opera, the 
little chit hastened away, just as free from care 
as her little head was from the thought that she 
had carried pain to the heart of her friend. 
While Nettie stood, half stupifled by the su¬ 
perhuman exertion she had made to control her¬ 
self, old aunt Nancy Osbourne called, and Mrs. 
Jennifer showed her into the sitting-room, 
where her daughter was; the girl could not 
escape for fear of betraying herself, so 6he sat 
quietly down, and listened to the garrulous old 
lady’s talk. Aunt Nancy was something of a 
gossip, aDd she uurolled her knitting work 
prepared to do justice to the characters of all in 
the village. But she was a kind-hearted old 
soul, and her cloak of charity was of ample pat¬ 
tern, so that people did not suffer much when 
she named their failings. 
Nettie knew it was coming. She shrank in¬ 
to herself when his name was mentioned, and 
aunt Nancy went into detail about “ that young 
Align as was studying law with his uncle, the 
judge, and was seen real drunk around last 
night; and she saw him staggering up his 
uncle’s steps. She wondered the Judge didn’t 
keep a tighter rein on him, but reckoned he was 
head-strong, like other young men, and had bis 
failings. It was a drtflle thing, though, that he 
got intoxicated, such a likely, 6mart young 
man.” 
Nettie had borne the blow before, Bhe bore 
it now. Her mother glanced toward her, to 
meet a smile so unnatural and ghastly, that her 
lips parted as it to cry out. But she only replied 
to their visitor with some corresponding remark, 
to bailie her penetration, then said to her child; 
“ Will you go and order dinner, Nettie ?” 
The kind intention was understood; and 
Nettie slipped from the room like one in a 
delirium. 
Hours after, her mother stood at the locked 
door, while she was Btill kneeling just where 
she had sunk down on first entering her room. 
Rising, she went to the door, but did not open 
it. 
“ Mother, I cannot see you now.” 
“Very well, darling, when you want me I 
will come;” and Mrs. Jennifer turned away, 
feeling her child’s pain as only tender mothers 
can. 
Nettie Jennifer struggled. She had not 
idolized her hero, but she had loved him with 
her first and only love. It had not occurred to 
her that he might have vices and evil habits. To 
her he had been all truth and devotion and 
purity. And she was so pure herself, that she 
never thought of searching for evils in others. 
There are many women like Nettie Jenni¬ 
fer, and thert; might be thousands more. Why 
are there not? O women of America! Instead 
of giving our smiles and our toleration to vice, 
why do we not shrink, shuddering, from it? 
Women arc women no longer, when they exer¬ 
cise their influence only to smile men down to 
destruction, when one noble principle acted out, 
one wordless appeal to the god-like part oi their 
natures, would lift them to a realization of a 
true and noble life. 
* Nettie Jennifer struggled, and she gained 
the victory. She saw no one until evening. 
Then Francis Albin called. He waited iu the 
parlor lor some time, but she came at last, very 
calm and self-controlled. He met her with a 
constrained manner, in which shame was strug¬ 
gling with some stronger emotion. She walked 
quite across the room with a slow, wavering 
gait, and turned the jet of gas up to the clear 
blaze, then looked toward him once more; 
“Fbancis!” 
0 how her counsel to Jimmy rushed hack on 
her mind:—“Be gentle, pitiful to theerriDg.” 
It would have been no more than just if in vir¬ 
tuous indignation she had flung her ties from 
her, and told him she would not bind herself to 
one who bade fairly to become a besotted in¬ 
ebriate. Womanly tenderness and outraged 
pride had been struggling all that day, hut God 
had given her the victory. 
“Nettie,” he said, with his face paling under 
that sad, steady gaze, “ don’t, for God’s sake, 
don’t look so! I know you have heard of it, 
and I don’t blame yon for shrinking from such a 
wretch. Bat let me tell you how I came to 
make a brute of myself. My father”—he 
clenched his hands madly—“has died, and in his 
will it is revealed that I am only his child by 
adoption, that there are other and nearer heirs 
to his property, and that I, after being thwarted 
and domineered over all my life, am left a pen¬ 
niless young lawyer, hardly started in my pro¬ 
fession, I may he a natural son, for aught I 
know—the vilest thing that treads the earth! 
It maddened me, and I rushed from the house 
to seek forgetfulness in anything — anything! 
Tt, seemed to me that I could not come io you 
for sympathy. If I bad done so it would have 
been better, I should been saved the sin of 
drunkenness, even if I should have only met 
your loathing; for believe me, Nettie Jenni¬ 
fer, though 1 often taken wine, no one ever be¬ 
fore saw me intoxicated.” 
He was walking the floor excitedly, with arms 
folded tightly. 
“I know I am too vile to touch one 60 pure 
as you,” he went on; “jl was a idol for thinking 
there was one woman in the world who cared 
for me. I suppose that 1 have disgraced myself 
in your eyeB beyond redemption. Nettie, for¬ 
give me for thinking you could trust your hap¬ 
piness in such hands as mine. Just, try to forget 
me!” 
“ Francis !”—there she stood before him, her 
hands folded, and her figure expanding with 
some lofty inspiration, like an angel of light to 
him who stood so far in the shadow—“you 
have done wrong. You made a brute of your- 
self, whom God created for a noble purpose. 
You know you are a man with intellect and soul 
greatly superior to many others. Whatever 
your parentage may be, God had need of you; 
hut iu tills, your first great trial, and with all 
your native strength of character, you still have 
proved yourself, for the time, unable to cope 
will) your fate. Now jou are a beginner in the 
world, with great paths of usefulness open all 
around you. Choose one, and walk in it, and 
grow strong. Francis Albin, I am a woman, 
but I see all this; I see, too, that you can still be¬ 
come a man,—in the best sense ot that term and 
if yon need love to help you iu your work, you 
have all a woman's heart can pour out; for, hav¬ 
ing plighted my faith to you, I will be true till 
death, and to no other man will I ever give ray 
hand. But you have falleu from your lofty pe¬ 
destal, and must redeem your manhood. This 
hour take up your new life, trnstiug in God, and 
grouting strong in virtue and right, and true man¬ 
liness !" 
He looked »t her with a long absorbing look: 
“Nettie Jennifer, will you wait for me 
three years?” 
“ I could wait forever, Francis !” 
“ Three years ! You are the noblest woman I 
ever met. I <xpeeted contempt and scorn, such 
as other women would give, but this is rare wo¬ 
man-love, and I will deserve it.” 
“ Other women do not always have such ob¬ 
jects {is call out the grandeur of their natures!” 
“ God bless you, girl!”—his eyes grew humid 
a moment, and he drew nearer to her. 
“In three years, Nettie Jennifer, if God 
spares my life, I will return to you—a man. 
Your influence shall keep me from evil, your 
love shall be my guidrag star. 1 am going away 
from here to-night, and shall struggle as only 
one with my hope can struggle. I do not fear 
that you will bn false to me; if you can cling to 
me now, you will surely be true in the future. 
Good-bye now. Grant me one favor,” be drew 
her white, calm thee nearer his, “ it will be a 
talisman to me.” 
She did not resist, and he kissed her on the 
cheek once; and then, after looking into her 
eyes like one who was looking his last, he turn¬ 
ed and went ont of her presence, to “grow 
strong” in his life-work. 
Perhaps you may think Francis Albin was a 
rare type of manhood; but remember, it olten re¬ 
mains with you, O! woman! to touch the heroic 
springs of a man’s nature, and awaken his bet¬ 
ter impulses, or to wed him to his vices by 
angry protest, or Indifferent sanction. 
Nettie Jennifer waited. She, too, had much 
to do, and worked faithfully to make hereelf a 
true and noble woman. So she went abont her 
daily duties, quiet and unostentatious, exercis¬ 
ing over all with whom she came in contact, the 
influence of a strong, forcible Christian char¬ 
acter. 
Maggie Wilder assumed the name, and 
bowed to the authority of Walter Jones, and 
walked the path of wifehood, pouting and laugh¬ 
ing, alternately, as those of her nature do, with 
May-day petulance. 
And, sister-women, there are many of ns, with 
deeper minds and feelings than Maggie Wild¬ 
er’s, who have played the coquette. How 
cruelly teazing we are, if we find we can lay our 
lingers among a man’s heart-strings! With 
what a feline cruelty we tweak them, just to 
see how he 'f'll bear it, and how much he cares 
for us! O American women, for shame! When 
our sex departs from the straight path of candor 
and forbearance, what can we expect of the 
sterner nature of man ? 
Nettie Jennifer waited. Working patiently 
in her home, comforting father and mother with 
daughterly care, and sympathizing with and re¬ 
straining head-strong Jimmy, In his boyish diffi¬ 
culties and perplexities. Francis wrote to her, 
and this correspondence was her great happiness 
during those three years of waiting. He was a 
rising young lawyer, and was enthusiastically 
spoken of by many noted in the profession. 
And, in the fullnes of time he came, a strong, 
fully-developed man; a man of whom Nettie 
Jennifer, in her meekness, hardly felt worthy. 
But be, not half so happy in the clustering hon¬ 
ors of his calling as in the crown of fulfillment 
he was to receive, took with her the vows that 
made them one, and thought, as he clasped her 
weak girlish hands, how nobly they had held 
him back from vice and ruin; how truly they 
had clung to him, helping him in his work by 
quiet and unconsciously mighty pen-strokes, 
through the years of toiling and “growing 
Btrong!” 
HUMOROUS SCRAPS. 
Mrs. Grundy is opposed to gambling. She 
calls for a Red Sea, like that of old, to destroy 
Faro and all his hoists. 
An incurable old bachelor, who rejoices in 
his infirmity, describes marriage as a female des¬ 
potism tempered with puddlDgs. 
What Is the use in sighing and weeping as 
we float down the stream of time ? Why make 
the voyage of life a wailing voyage ? 
Although it is desirable that the rank and 
tile of the rebels should disperse, It is full as well 
that the leaders should hang together. 
A shrewd little fellow who had just begun to 
read Latin, astonished the master by the follow¬ 
ing translations “ Vir, a man ; gin a trap— 
Virgin , man-trap."

" It was early in the spring of 1855 that this compound 
was originated. A member of my family was afflicted 
with an Irritation of the throat, attended with a disagree¬ 
able cough. 1 bad for some months previous thought 
that a preparation having for lt« basis tlio Inside bark of 
white pine might be so compounded as to bo very useful 
In tbe case of the throat and lung*. To test the value 
of It In the case alluded t.o, I compounded a small quan¬ 
tity of the medicine that I had been planning, and gave 
It In teospoonful dosoa, Tho result was exceedingly 
gratifying. Within two days tho Irritation of the. throat 
was removed, the cough subsided, and a Bpeedy cure was 
effected. Soon after tills, 1 sent Borne to a lady In Lon¬ 
donderry, N. II., who had been Buffering for sonic weeks 
from a bad cough, occasioned by a BUdden cold, and bad 
raised mucus streaked with blood. She soon foond rc- 
llet, and sent for more. She took about ten onucea of It 
and got well. J. B. Clark, Esq., editor of the Manchester 
Dally Mirror, made a trial ol the same preparation In the 
case of a severe cobl, aud was cured Immediately. He 
.was ro highly pleased with the results, aud so confident 
of biicccbb attending Us gales If plneed before the public, 
that he finally persuaded mo to give It ft nemo and fend 
It abroad to benefit tlio suffering. In November, 1865 ,1 
first advertised It under tho name of Whlto Pino Com¬ 
pound. In two yours from that time there bad been 
wholesaled in Manchester alone one hundred dollars' 
worth, where It took the lead of all the cough remedies 
In the market, and It still maintains that position. There 
Is good reason for all this; It 19 very soothing and healing 
In It* nature, 1 b warming to the stomach, and pleasant 
withal to the. taste, aud Is exceedingly cheap. 
“ As a remedy for kidney complaint*, the White Pine 
Compound stand* unrivalled. It was not originated tor 
that purpose; hut a person In using it lor a cough, was 
not only cured ot the cough, but was also cured of a kid¬ 
ney difficulty of ten year*’ standing. Since that acciden¬ 
tal discovery many thousands have used It for the same 
complaint, aud have been completely cured,” 
The above was written by Dr. Poland In 1860. Since 
then, as In Manchester, tho White Pine Compound has 
taken the lead of all Cough remedies, as well as prepara¬ 
tions for the cure of Kidney difficulties. In every city, 
town, village and hamlet, throughout tho New England 
StatcB. 
The past, year has given a great opportunity to test the 
virtue of tho White Pine Compound. It has been an un¬ 
usual time for coldB and coughs, and very largo quantities 
of the White, Pine Compound have been sold aud need 
with the happiest effects. It speaks well lor the Medicine, 
that, the people liviug where it Is prepared are high In its 
praise. 
One bottle of this Compound Is generally sufficient to 
remove a bad cough, and frequently 1 have known per¬ 
sons to have a cold entirely removed In two days, by us¬ 
ing less than half a bottle. From one to two teaspoon- 
fuls Is a largo dose, 1 sometimes put a little whlto Bugar 
aud hot water with it, when taken on going to bed. 
The limits to which I pnrposcly confine myself In this 
circular will not allow of that full expression which X 
would like to give In favor of the White Pino Compound. 
It Is universally admired by all who nsa It,—It has at¬ 
tained to such a popularity among thosu whose opinion 
Is valuable indeed that vanity mny possibly In part 
prompt me to record more here than hurried people will 
have patience to read; so 1 will stop, by merely recom¬ 
mending to all who need a cough or kidney remedy to 
test tho virtues of tho White Pine Compound.

The White Pino Compound, advertised at length in 
our columns, Is uot only as to It* name Inviting,but Is a 
highly approved medicine. Dr. .1 w. Poland, theinveu- 
tor, ha* the confidence of the many who know him, a 
confidence which he enjoyed while laboring usefully 
many years as a Baptist minister. Ills experience as a 
sufferer led him to make experiment* which issued In Ids 
medical discovery,— Boston watchman amt lie Hector. 
The Editor of the Muchcitcr Dally and Weekly Mir¬ 
ror, In a leader of the Dally, thus writes of tbe Compound: 
“The Whlto Pino Compound I* advertised at mucU 
length In our columns, and wc arc happy to learn that, 
the demuud for it ia Increasing beyond all previous ex¬ 
pectations. It la the very best medicine for concha and 
colds wc know of, and no family- that hnsODce used It will 
over bo without it. We speak from our own knowledge 
It Is sure to kill a cold, and pleasant as It Is stirs. The 
f ree test Invention* come by accident, anil It is singular 
lint, the WhRe Pine Compound, made for coughs and 
colds, should prove to bo the grout.-st remedy lot kidney 
dinii-ultlea known. But so Ills. We cannot doubt It, so 
many testimonials come to us flout well-known men. Be¬ 
side*. the character of Hr. Poland Is *ueh, that we know 
that In: will not eoiiiib unnoo what N wrong, For years a 
Baptist clergyman; studying medicine to Hud remedies 
for nls allmrni*, with a delicate, consumptive look,stand¬ 
ing with one fool upon the grave, he made, the discovery 
wlii' M lutxtuYcri hlniaoK and called out fium hundreds oi 
others the strongest testimonials possible. We have 
known l>r. Poland for years, mill never knew a more con- 
nCleutlous, honest, upright man, ami arc glad to state that 
we believe whatever hu says about his White Pine Com¬ 
pound.” _
