IT'S Buzz A BAND OF RIBBON


By sALL1E BRowNsoE GOODRICH.
lis but band of ribbon
He answered with a sigh,
"A loved friends pairing gift
He said with dowhcast eye,
As saw a folded ribbon
Over picture fair.
And wondere why it held
That lock of golden hair.
otis but band Of ribbon r.
A little silken string;
Why should q sigh be given
Der such tiny thing2
Why should bright eye pale,
Why should tear be shed
Over that little emblem
OF some bright moments hedt
Why did that proud man tremble,
Why did that strong heart bend,
Atthe mention Of q name
He only called ''friend7"
What was here in that git?
Where was the secret pOwerf
Was it but leaf
From friendships faded fower1
Or had be loved the giyer2
And did that tiny string
Remind him of an idol
Buried in youths bright springf
Was it treasured emblem
OF his loved enc, dead and cones
lingering, last memento
OF hopes forever f1own7
Was it the very ribbCn
Which held her locks so soft2
The self same little knot
He'd seen her tie so oft,
To hold the truant tresses
He 50 tenderly caressed,
A they fioated o'er his bosoIA
When heart to hearc was pressedf
Was the band, and knot, and all,
just as she fixed them On,
In the old familiar day
Those days forevs gomez
Was it the last reminder
3f fair ard heeting scenes
The only token left him
OF all that ''Inight have beenf 90
VAST the parting gift''
From her fair and gentle hand,
That tried 10 bind her lovers heart
Will that siLken nd
And will that lover keepit,
With his faith to her who gave,
Till his heart, like hers, be pulssleas,
In the silence of the grave?

HooFLAND's GERMAN BITTERs.-The Ex-
aminer Richmond, Va, says: 'Ihis is
the season of al others, in which this Bit
ters, now 50 renowned, is found so 5ene-
ficial. Added to the Ingredients which
make this Bitters both dietetic and tonic are
the qualities which invigorate the debili-
tated system, remove languor and depres-
sion, restore the appetite, and impart d
healthy action to all the functions of The
body. The mother and hoasekeeper should
never be without it, and the traveller who
packs his trunk or po1tmanteau for the
springs, should class among the necessary
articles few bottles of Roofand's German
Bitters. He viii find it an invaluable med
icine in the hour of transient derangeme1t
of the system, which is likely to be1all any
one in this climate and especially during
the summer season. It is pure, fee from
all intoxicating liquors. and for that reason
the most strictly temperate need not hes
itate to use it, personally, or in their famI-
lies"
