Countless millions of cubic feet ot mala-

more generally in the Fall than at other
Seasons and some of which, in low

safeguard against these complaints, as evi.
denced by the experience OF long series

Tending IL against the causes of sickness,
whether constitutional or casual. Nature,
IS every patholog1st knows, is the most
determined enemy of disease, and the par

instances the consequences OF the efforts
she makes TO conquer the foe. The great
object, therefore, OF preventive treatment,
is to reinforce the system, and il is accom-

the use of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. This

MY SAINT.
by NELLY M'KAY HUTCHINSON.
This tiny old woman In faded black gown,
with her funny pug noss 50 saucy and
quaint,
so trim and complete from her feet to her
crown
You'd scarcely believe It, but she is my
saint.
Tho clear brown eyes grown heavy with
care.
The little brown hands the worse for wear,
The thinning strands OF her silver hair.
Are sim to my heart unspeakably fair.
Many a year have we Journeyed together,
I often Respondent, quite heart-sick and
she bTa7ely defying the stOrmiest
weather
Herself sweetest sunshine-my glorious
saint
Never a care have 1 borne alone,
Never in solitude made my moan;
Nearer and nearer the tie hos grown,
Flesh OF my flesh Is she, bone Of my bone.
The beauty that dwells in her wrinkled
Old face,
This poor, silly pen Of mine never can
It's halo from Heavens natural grace
For the soul that looks out from the ey es
OF my saint.
Early and late, by night aud by day,
Whether i watch or whether pray,
That soul stfll iightens my tollsome way,
It's truth M evangel, its love my stay.
