An Excellent Medicine.
Safe and Sure.

MR.. H. r. STEVENS.
In 1872 your VEGETINE was recommended to me /;
and, yielding to the perSuasiOns of friend, con-
scented to try it. At the time l was suffering from
general debility and nervous prostration superin-
duced by overwork and irregular habits. Its wonder
full Strengthening and curative properties seemed to
affect my debtated system from the first dose; and
under its persistent use rapidly recovered, gaining
more than usual health and good feeling. Since then
qualified Endorsement as being safe, sure, and pow
erful agent in promoting health and restoring the
wasted system to new life and energy. VEGETfNE is
the only medicine use, and as long as live never
expect to find better.
Yours truly,
w. H. CLARK,

When George d, Prentice arrived
in Louisville, it was not as a bril-
liant young journalist, looking for a
position in which to shine, but as a
drunken loafer, utterly uncertain
about place in which to sleep. In
this condition he met and made
friends with fellow who was as near
a tramp as any that existed in that
day, and who was known as a
"strolling tinker" or a travelling
member of tin pots. They made a
day Of it, to the extent of the funds
they had, and such credit as they
could get, at the risk CT boots applied
to their coat tails. Night came on,
and George D. Prentice bewailed his
lavish and open drinking, which left
him without the means to get a bed.
The tinker said, with the lordly hos
pitality Of very tipsy man, "You
shall go home with me-"
George assented to his Sooner
longerme," and arm in arm they
started for their "home." The man
seemed to know where he was going,
and soon reached an obscure street,
not far from the Ohio river. He
paused at a shed, let down bar, and
again mumbled'out his word, which
could be divided in "come-er-'l ong-'
crime" Then he at once rolled the
bar, and fell into some straw, and,
Prentice following, there were some
small squeaIs and some loud and an
CRY grunts, as Of disturbed swine.
Prentice shook his friend, who was
already asleep, and said "See here,
is this your home 2"
eyes, sir-ee," said the sleepy
tinker.
at sounds and smells like a hog,
pen," said the half.sobered Prentice.
"What-er that-they'll have to
stand it," said the fellow, and went
to sleep.
Prentice was still too drunk to
know how to get out again, but he
lay and thought. His thoughts were:
Here am /, man of good educa-
ton, and of good parents and well
brought up. | have been enjoying
myself and living high, and having
good time. Let's see how high |
have got: ! am out of clothes, out
of.money and out of character-th
three outs and l have arisen to be
the companion Of strolling tinker.
That's my outing and elevation.
Now what have 1 got into-let me
see? Oh, see, or rather smell-in-
to hog-pen. If / ever get out, I'll
quiet and serve God for better
wages"
He did quit, and became the first
journalist and wit of the Southwest.

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
The D9'unE0rd.

Give me drink, the drunkard said,
! viii not take the temperance vow
Too long this dark ming life I've led
For you to try to save me now;
And could not, with my mad brain,
Share OF the joys of life again.
TOO many evils clasp my heart
For me TO rend the bonds apart;
For me to try to see the dawn,
That breaks beyond the gloomy river,
When the soul from earth S gone
Back unto the Eternal Giver,
Disgraced end lost for evermore.
l shall not walk the sun bright plain
And it is useless to deplore
That which l cannot have again.
There was a time when could claim,
Away back in the by-gone years,
A happy heart and honored name;
l then had no fOrboding fears
And all the world was full of light
And life to me was dear and bright.
But in the tempting glass I found
The demon that my soul has bound
The demon that has led me on
From crime to crime through sin and gloom
TIL every JOY loved is gone,
And must meet fearful doom,
And never more can hope to hear
Fond words from love-lips kindly spoken;
But must await in doubt and fear,
Until the last frail link is broken.
Non pompouS man now riding by,
With trotting bays and carriage fine,
Who never gives one plying sigh,
First gave to me the tempting wine.
My earnings helped to place him there,
But now l cannot ride with him
I'm lower than his classes are,
And my eyes are red and dim
VIII he be punished less than
In the great eternity?
lie took my hard-earned gold away,
And made me what am to-day.
Rool Mary wept and prayed for me.
And, broken hearted died at last;
Her grave is down beside the sea,
And l can only mourn the past;
Can only in my grief await
The coming of darker fate.
God knows | did not wish to be
The wretched being / am now;
The serpent cinging fast to me,
And shame and sin stamped on my brow,
And in my heart pail of gloom
That dark and fatal makes my doom.
