VEGETINE
SAFE AND SURE,

Mr.. H. II. STEVENS.
In 1872 your Yegetine was recommended TO me, and
yielding TO the persuasions Of friend consented TO
try H. At the time was suffering from general de-
bity and nervous prostraton, supernduced by over
work and irregular habits. Its wonderful strength
ening and curative properties seemed to affect my
debilitated system from the FIRST dose; gaining
than usual health and good feeling. Since then
have not hesated to give vegetine my most unquali
hed Endorsement, as being safe, sure and powerful
agent In promoting health and restoring the wasted
system to life and energy. vegetine is the only
medicine use; and as long As live never expec.
to find better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK,

"Who speaks fer this man 2" From the great
white Throne,
Yelled in its roseate clouds the voice came forth
Before it stood parted soul alone,
And rolling east and west, and south and north,
The mighty accents summoned quick and dead:
''Who speaks for this man, ere his doom be said?''
Shivering he listened, for his earthly life
Had passed in dull, unnoted calm away;
He brought no glory to its daily strife,
No wreath of fame or genius fiery ray;
Weak, lone, ungifted, quiet and obscure,
Born in the shadow, dying mid the poor.
Lo, from the solemn concourse hushed and dim,
The widows prayer, the orphans blessing rose
The struggler told of trouble shared by him,
The lonely of cheered hours and softened woes;
And like chorus spoke the crushed and sad,
HE gave us all he could, ard what he had ;"
And little words of loving kindness said,
And ten der thoughts and help in time of need,
Sprang up, like leaves by soft Spring showers fed
In some waste corner, sown ty chance-fune
seed;
In grateful wonder heard The modest soul,
Such tribes gathered to SO blest whole.
We, by circumstance strong letters bound,
The store SO little, and the hand SO frail,
Do but the best ye can for all around;
Let sympathy be true, nor courage fail;
Winning among your neighbors poor and weak
Some witness at your trial hour to speak.
