Mr.. Ii. r.. STEPHENS:
Dear Sir-This is to certify that I had
been suffering from Rose Cancer on my

all my friends had given me up to die, when
heard Of your medicine, Yc.ctno. recon-
mendcd for Cancer and Cancerous Humors.
l commenced to take it, and soon found
myself beginning to feel better; my health
and spirits both fclt the benign influence
which it exerted. and in few months from
tho time commenced the use Of tho Vcge-
tine, tho Cancer came out almost bodily.

ALL DISEASES OF THE BLooD.-If Vegctine
will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure
such diseases, restoring tho patient to perfect
health after trying different physicians, many
remedies, suffering for years, is it not concl W
svc proof, if you are sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in tho blood. in
the circulating fluid. 1t can truly be called
the Greet Blood Purifier. Tho groat source
of disease originates in tho blood; and no
medicine that does not net directly upon it, to
purify aud ronovatc, has any just claim upon
pnblic nttention.

TURNING GRAY.

L'to's sands are ruoning fost away;
Tho bouyapt step Of youth is gono,
The falling hair is turning gray,
Aud time seems now to hurry on
More fectly than in days of yoro--
Before the heart booamo it's prey
Before twas saddeued to tho core
Yes, turning away! Age comes like snow.
AS stilll-and oarves each oareworn line;
It's wrinkles on the brow will grow;
The hair with silver streaks will shine;
The eyes their brightness lose, the hand
Grow dry aud tremuloua and thin;
For life, alas! is quickly spanned,
And Death its gates soon closes in.
Ahl turning gray! We fain would hide,
The sign how long with Time we've been,
Those deepened wrinkles side by side,
Gut by the sorrows we have seen;
For feeble beats the heart as years
More thiokly cluster on our head
AS Autumn rain drops hang like tears,
On some fair flower that's nearly dead.
Like perished petals from the flower,
Our hopes and widest joys are laid;
Burn only for day or hour,
Sweet gambols by the fancy played,
AS ago comes on, we long for rest,
As saints near shrines will long to pray.
But still we love that time tho best
Before the hair is turning gray.

BE KIND TO YoUn WIFE Friend,

follow example, and throw off, with tho
care of tho world, your soilcd garments and
be clean and tasty. When you take your
paper to read, do not read to yourself and
leave her to lonesome thoughts while sew
ing or mending but remember that she, too,
has been working hard all day, and is still
working. Read to her whatever interests
you, so that her opinions may grow with
yours and that she may comprehend some-
thing besides love stories, Of which too
many have read more than they should.
