EFFECT.

Mr.. II. h. SrEvkNs:-Dsdr Sir-I have used the
great blood remedy, VEGETINE, and feel 1t . duty
to acknowledge the great benefit 1t has done me.
In the spring Of the year ls62 I was sick from gen.
eral debility caused by o~verwork, want Of sleep
and proper rest. ] was very weak and much
emacisted. I tried many remedies without re-
ceiving any benefit from any Of them, until was
persuaded to try EGErIEE Before / had taken
this one week my improved condition gave me
renewed hope and courage. continued to take II
every day, gaining more strength, until l was
completely restored to health. The effect Of this
remedy, in case Of general debility, is Indeed
marvellous. ELIZABETH A. FOLEY,
May 8, 1871,

VEGETINE
PuritieS the Blood and Restores the
Health.
GENERAL DEBILITY.

In this complaint the good effects Of the vEGx.
FINE are realized Immediately after commencing
to take u, as debility denotes deficiency OF the
health from debility like the vEGETINE. Itis
nourishing and strengthening, purir es the blood,
regulates the bowels, quiets the nervous system,
acts directly upon the secretions, and arouses the
whole system to action. 1t has never failed IN
this com plAint.

TIE SWEET, SWEET HEART.

a maiden fair as forest flowers in spring
Sweet as a mayhower drenched in sun and rain
Once in her doorway ali day long did sing
A little tune of siRple words and vain:
''If one true heart did beat for love of me,
And only me, how sweet then life would be-,
All, wooing voice I, Oh, words so passion sweet!
You bind two lovers in your golden snare;
The red, red rosebuds Irvine about their feet,
And in the maiden's fair. housekeeping hair
One snow-white rose-a kiss in ~bfossom-lies,
Type of the white soul laughing through her eyes.
oh, red rose in the garden of her cheek!
oh, white rose in the beauty of her hair.
On, honeyed words that lovers learn to speak
oh. dainty maiden, listening, unaware
What specious mask Of winsome look and smile
Deceit may wear when eager to beguie.
EedE the red rose AID the sunset burned,
When late the lover rode upon his way,
With lingering slances ~ofttsnes backward turned
"Oh sweet, sweet heart, " he sang, some happy
day
shall RETURN But from that day she wore
In her fair locks tie snow-white rose no more.
V,
When summer dies must not orr roses die?
Then faded leaves bestrew the frosty ground
Like false, dead hopes," The maiden once did
sigh,
While underneath a somber cap she bound
The loye-locks. crowned with rosy bloom OF yore-
Locks that loves kiss would brighten never more.
