effected a revolution In the healing art. and
proved the fallacy of several maxims which
have for many years Obstructed the progress
of medical science. The false suppositon
that Consumption is incurable" deferred
physicians from attempting to find remedies
reconciled themselves TO death without
they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is now
proved, hswever, that CONSUMPTION can be
cured, and that 1t has been cured in a very
great number Of cases (some Of them, appa-
rently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same
medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both.

Bat the kiss of all kisses is the eli
matte one--the lovers one-the first
touch Of lips together that are hence
forward to be all in all to each other,
and for this kiss who would not ask for
fresh lips2 Who cares for lips that have
been common to lovers before2
1" ] always meant to be the FIRST conner
in woman's heart. Fresh lips or none
for me. 'Tis a sigh from man s
heart; more pitiful in that he is strong
and not young. Into his pure heart and
life one day pair of wistful blue eyes,
two rosy lips and a girlish voice crept
in, but crept in only to make for them
selves a grave in the before unbroken
ground, where, Nesting down in its
depths, they were left to he undsturbed.
1t is the old story--other lips pressed
hers after, as they had before his turn
and still another had the better right to
weep over her cofin-but she,' in that
hour past, had crept in and buried her
self in one mans heart forever. How
many lives we know not of are lowering
over an open grave, into which has
nestled the form of something loved the
best
Common sense dictates that we must
not expect too much of mortal man or
woman. We are all tainted with the
original sin, and total depravity has
been catching disease for some time.
| doubt not that, though the number
may 5e small, there are more fresh girl
lips to be kissed to day than fresh manly
lips to kiss them. What man has right
to demand more than he can giye2
Alasl but the girls do not echo the cry
They know there is little use to expect
fresh lips and, wise 10 their generation,
cease to ask for them. They take the
goods the gods offer them and ask not
who has had them before. Thank
God, there are men who can ask for fresh
lips, May blessings rest on the pure,
rosy ones that shall be lifted to meet
theirs in the olG'iashioned belrothal
kiss. jean Gold.

Lord Minto says, in his Life aud Lei
ters;' "A strange adventure once oc.
Cured to Lady Elliott, when her car
riage was standing at the door Of one OF
the great London shops in crowded
thoroughfare. While her sister who ac-
cnmpanled her, was speaking to shop
mau at Que windov Of the carriage, a gen
tleman perfectly well known to her as
member OF society rode up to the other
at which she sat, aud stcoping toward
her, but without sign of recognition or
2 deprecatory or explanatory word,
spatohed her purse from out the car
riage-basket aud rode of with it at full
speed. Lady Elliott negercaw It again.
In after years she was wont to tell the
story as an instance Of the desperate
courses to which the gambling mania OF
the day drove its victims; but not even
to her children did she ever con6de the
name Of the individual who had placed
himself at her mercy aud was saved by
her silence from overwhelming dis
grace.
