Little shoes aud Stockings!
What a tale ye speak,
Of the SWOLLEN eyeball
And the tear-wet cheek!
Of the nightly vigil,
And the daily prayer;
OF the buried darling,
Present everywhere, ~
Brightly plaided stockings,
Ks Of the finest wool; W
Rounded feet and dainty.
Each, a stocking full:
Tiny shoes of crimson,
1--~s Shoes that evermore
Will awaken echoes
From the toy-strewn floor.
Not the wealth of Indies
Could your worth eclipse,
Peerless little treasures
Pressed to whitened lips;
As the mother muses.,
From the world apart,
Leaning on the arrow f
That has pierced her heart.
Head Of Aaxen ringlets, r--.-l
Eyes Of Heavens blue,
Parted mouth-a rosebud t.t| 50.
Pearls just peeping through.
Soft arms gently twining
Round her neck at eve,
Little shoes and stockings
These are dreams We weave.
Weave her yet another
OF the world of bliss,
Let the stricken mother
Turn away from thisl
'g Bid her dream, believing
Little feet await,
Watching for her passing
Through the pearly gate

Halsey'S Forest Pills

THE FOREST PILLS neither grippe nor weaken
l. the system. This is because they contain no
deleterious drugs minerals, but are extracts OF
plants which are as wholesome as the food we eat.
A CURE Is CERTAIN, and they cure without
weakening the system or affecting the bowels but
slightly. except in full doses, when they purge
thoroughly but without gripping pains, or pr' ducns
weakness.
1T Is FOLLY to use gripping, drastic purgatives
such drugs weaken and destroy the tone of the
stomach and bowels. Never weaken the system.
The stronger the vital functions, the more power
have they to throw of disease when assisted by a
