Complete Sets of The Living Age,

At a Large Discount.

The publishers have a small number of Complete Sets of LITTELL'S LIVING AGE, which they offer at a large reduction from former prices. As the Sets cannot be reprinted, the last opportunity is now offered not only to procure them cheaply, but to procure them at all.

The last number of the year 1872 completed the Fourth Series, and the One Hundred and Fifteenth Volume, from the beginning of the publication. The regular price of volumes has been, in numbers, two dollars per volume, or, bound in cloth, three dollars per volume. The publishers now offer the Complete Sets (115 volumes), as follows:

In numbers, or sheets, ready for binding, at one-half the subscription price, viz: $1.00 per volume; or, bound in black cloth, gilt backs, at $1.75 per volume.

A few surplus Sets of the First Series (36 volumes), and of the Second Series (volumes), remain, which will be sold separately, at the same rate, if desired. None of the Third or Fourth Series can be sold separately, and the publishers can no longer supply any odd volumes, or numbers, published prior to Jan'y 1, 1868. A few of the Sets of the First Series, only, are bound in red leather backs, cloth sides, which will be sold to those preferring them to the cloth bound sets, at the same rate per volume. With this exception, those desiring a leather, or half leather binding, should purchase the numbers and have them bound in such style as they may prefer.

It is hardly necessary to say to those acquainted with the work, that the same amount of such valuable reading cannot otherwise be purchased with three times the money for which it is here offered; and while this reduction in price places Sets within the reach of individuals possessing or forming private libraries, the attention of those interested in State, City, Town, College or School Libraries, is particularly called to this last opportunity of supplying their shelves with a complete work which it is believed no library in the country can (under this offer) afford to be without.

Applications for Sets should be made immediately.

When packing boxes are necessary in forwarding Sets, the cost of the boxes will be added to the bill.

A WINTER WEDDING.

(At Chiselhurst Church, January 9, 1873.) BY THE AUTHOR OF " JOHN HALIFAX, GENTLEMAN." IT fled away in a clang of bells,

Marriage bells,

On the wings of the blast that sinks and swells;
That bold, weak, fate-struck, suffering soul,
Whom Christ wash clean, and God make whole;
And we stand in the light of two happy faces,
Two happy hearts whom our heart embraces;
And we hear the peaceful organ's sound,
And the angry storm sweeps harmless round:
Blessed is the bridegroom though the heav-
ens are dun;

Blessed is the bride whom no sun shines on.

Mayhap, some wandering angels say,

Stop and say,

As through the gloom they carry away
That bodiless spirit to Him who knows-
He only- whither the spirit goes;

"God give them all that the dead man lacked
(As men dare judge him) in thought, word, act;
Deny them all that to him was given,

Lest earth's doors opened, shut doors of heaven."

Blessed is the bridegroom without crown or land;

Blessed is the bride with the ring on her hand.

Peal, ye joy-bells, peal through the rain,
Blinding rain;

God makes happiness, God makes pain,
Summer and winter a good tree grows,
A strong soul strengthens through weal and

woes.

"Be not afraid," says the wild, sobbing wind; 66 Weep," sigh the clouds, "but the blue is behind."

Blessed is the bridegroom under shower or

sun,

Blessed is the bride whom love's light shines

on.

AFTER THE WAR.

THEY took him at that pleasant time When summer falleth, and the corn, And now the places where he stood

Peer dimly through the misty morn;
The hillock where the roses blow
Hath never roses now to show.
The pathway to the distant town,
As ever, windeth low and high;
And yet methinks it wears a look

It wore not in the days gone by:
Maybe it is I wait to catch
No footstep, and no lifted latch.

Beside the window in the gloam
I stand as I have stood before;
I cannot sew, the light is done,

Nor is there need to ope the door; For he that used to come, they say, Has travelled on another way.

TO AN ANGEL PICTURED LOOKING THROUGH

THE SKY.

HIGH Creature, watching twirl'd
This cloudy world,

See, for a seven times seven
Refulgent Heaven,

What belts of hope and fear
Involve our sphere,
Deep gloom, with fitful flash;
And be not rash

In blame, lest One discern
Thy need to learn
How man's faint orison
Strives to His Throne.
