NOBODY!

Left there nobody's daughter,
Child of disgrace and Shame
Nobody ever taught her
A mothers sweet, saving name.
Nobody ever caring
Whether she stood or fell,
And men (are they men p ensnaring
With the arts and the gold of hell!
Stitching with ceaseless labor,
To earn her pititul bread;
begging crust OF q neighbor,
And getting 4 curse instead!
All through the long, hot summer,
All through the cold, dark time,
Grow white as the frost's white rime.
Nobody ever conceiving
The throb of that warm, young life,
Nobody ever believing
The Strain of that terrible strife!
Nobody kind words pouring
In that orphan hearts sad ear.
But all OF us ignoring
What lies at our doors, so near!
o sister down in the alley
Pale, with the downcast eye,
Dark and drear is the valley,
But the stars shine forth on high.
Nobody here may love thee,
Or care ii thou stand or fall.
But the great, good God above thee,
He watches and cares for all.

Dear Sir,-l have sold great deal of your
excellent remedies, and prefer to sell them
before others, because they give good salts
faction to those who use them. Thear such
remarks as ''Sages Remedy completely alred
me; it is splendid thing" or, "Perce's
Discovery is Just what wanted; feel bet
ter than [ ever did" One OF our celebrated
singers uses it tor Strengthening her voice,
and says "there is nothing equals it ;" and
so might give scores of remarks said about
your preparations. A clored woman was
using your Discovery, and after taking three
bottles was completely cured. She, being in
the store, said to me, 81 don't want no doc

covery; 1t beats all your doctors" And so l
migi so on.
