A TRUE LOVER.


To be sad when all arc gay;
To think all gone with one away:
To start, to thrill, then back to sink
From expectation joyous brink;
If all expression proved too weak
Till heart TO heart aud cheek TO check
Alone suiiiced that word to speak,
Which set the pcnt-up passion free.
Brought back the souls tranquility,
And laid the struggling hearts at rest,
Dropped like a bird into its nest
If this be love, as lovers say,
Dear, l have loved thee many a day.
If 10 oppose when suffering most
The path the opposition cost;
To listen with uyeTted face,
Yet yearn to close with an embrace;
To watch, To tend, to smile, to grievc,
ReprOof to bear, advice receive;
To work, to wait, TO pray, 10 live,
And TO give all, and still to give
If this be love, believe me, dear,
That | have loved thee many a year.
And if, amid the vap'rOus whirling
OF men and things that, upward curling
In cloud and mist, come floating by
From the deep gulf of memory,
One face shines out zone form, one power,
One influence quickening every hour.
A speaking profile upward turned,
Or q deep look that through me burned
If this be love, love came to me
And stays, methinks, eternally.

WHAT MADE you GO TO wAa2

BY AGAwAM.
Written for the Illinois State Register
Papa, what made you go to war;"
Said little Florence darling child:
The while she peered into my eyes
With pleading face and smiled
And Oft I've heard poor mamma saw
That she would rather far have died.
Than that you should have gone away
Our house is not as nice as those
or men who do not bear scar
Don't tease me, papa, but please tell
What made you 90 to war?
There's Mr.. Smith, he's very rich.
know IL. that's what mamma said
lie held contract through the war
Aho sold the soldiers children bread
And Mr.. Jones, you ought TO see
HIS house and grounds. they are go nice.
"nen you were shot he was at home
Shouting 'gainst peace at any price
de wasn't in the war at all,
He's got two arms and has no rank
On forgot mamma told me
He's president OF national bank.
Nor Mr.. Brown, he didn't go.
But tell so eloquently his fears
In congress, now lest people should
Be ruled by rebel brigadiers
There's General A, he went to war,
And he 1s rich, as all may see,
He was in the front-I've seen his straps;
They bear the letters, @. MD
And General B., he bore the brunt.
He says of battles direst stress
And his commission, ma tells me,
Makes him captain A. c. S.
And Colonel H., noble man.
I've often heard him brayely tell
The want and suffering that he bore
AS colonel of the G. U. L.
And Major P, the loyal man.
Who endured the rebels wicked wrath,
Has now an office and good pay
lie was orderly on the governors stsff,
But Mr.. 5. was the bravest man,
He faced rebellion's serried ranks
When he was bringing cotton out
or the Red River with General Banks.
And Colonel j., l know him well;
He's heard the rebel's angry roar,
But bravely did his duty when
He was clerk in post suffers store.
But none OF these were shot like you,
1t seems so strange, why did You gol
And none of there are poor like us?
Pa, tell me, for want to know"
I raised my eyes but still my mind
Was full of deep and troubled thought;
The child's persistent query made
Me ask myself for what fought.
Her words are true, the land is full
or men like me and men like those;
OF men who fought and marched and bled
And men who feared the nations foes.
And yet the gain and glory falls
To orderlies and suffers clerks,
Who never saw q rebel line
Aud never stormed the rebels works.
And when hear the blatant speech
About the rebel brgsdier,
From men who safely stald at home,
Or did their fighting in the rear.
l wonder at myself, and ask,
As does my child, why did l go?
And am forced to think and say,
do not know; l 60 not know.

Certificate Of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
twOyears. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-When l met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severelywith Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at a time to my bed. The balance of the
time l was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including a large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless AS to what
| suffered, the English language cannot tell
1t to any one who has not tried its realities.
The hrst application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. l used a bottle
a day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
change, though it should he death.
That all who read this may know how 1
nave Deen, l will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, I could reach around nv
leg ABOVE the knee with one hand
was reduced to a mere slxeIe-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
clutches, or tried to stand
without thems / could not raise
either foot from the floor.
l used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
| any for two months. l now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-fve
pounds in flesh. But 1 must tell you it seem.
| almost like dream. You can refer to me a.
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi
Gems of Adrian will testify to the truth Of
my statements.
