A Printers Consolation.

Tel me, ye gentle winds,
That round my pathway play
Is there no place on earth
Where printers get their pay J
The whispering breeze went by
With accents I'LL ID with woe
A voice borne on the sorrowing air,
1t sadly answered "No"
Tell me, ye flowing streams,
That smoothly glide along,
Is there one cherished place
Where printers meet no wrong
The gentle brook replied,
In murmurs soft and low,
And, winding on it's verdant way,
1t meekly answered "Nol"
Tell me, We murky clouds,
Now rising in the west,
Is there upon the globe,
One spot by printers blest
The flashing clouds outspoke,
With an indignant glow
A voice that filed the earth with awe,
In thunder answered NO"
Tell me, hard-hearted man,
Withholding day by day,
Is there no honor in thy breast,
The printers bill to pay
Unanswering turns he round
How plain his actions show;
An uttered oath-capt sound is heard,
His actions answered "Now
Tell me, ye gentle nymphs,
Who bless LIES hours through,
Is there one sacred shrine
Where printers gain their duel
A mantling blush her cheek diffusod,
Did tenfold grace impart-
A soft responsive sigh replied;
"'Tis found in woman's heart !"
Tell me, angelic hosts,
We messengers of love,
Shall suffering printers here below
Have no redress above!
The angel bands replied:
ITO us is knowledge given,
Dehnquents in the printers books
Can never enter heaven 7"

rheumatism IL a Disease OF the Blood

The blood in this disease is found TO contain an
excess OF fbrtn. Negetine acts by converting the
blood from its diseased condition TO healthy cir
culation. Vegetine regulates the bowels which
is very important in this complaint. One bottle
of Vegetne will give relief, but TO effect per-
manent cure II must be taken regularly, and may
take several bottles, especially IN cases of long
standing. Vegetine is sold by all druggists Try
II, and your verdict will be the same as that of
thousands before you, who say: ~ never found
so much relief rs from the use of Vegetine"
which is composed exclusively Of Banks, Roots
and Herbs.
"Negetine," says a Boston physician, "has no
equal as n blood purifier. Hearing of its many
wonderful cures, after all other remedies had
failed, visited the laboratory and convinced my
self of its genuine merit. II is prepared from
banks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly
effective, and they are compounded in such a
manner as to produce astonishing results"
