Spring Medicine

Why does everybody take spring medi-
cine? For three good reasons, viz: /
Because one bottle of lood-purifer taken
at this season viii do more good than two at
any other ll-Bccause the blood is IN
more impure condition than at an! other
season. lll-Bccause the system Is so
weakened by this impure state Of the blood
that il has not sufficient vitality to withstand
the debiitatIng effects Of spring weather.
Hence, hy common consent, people seek re-
lief in medicine The combination of
Hood, SarSaparilla. commend~ il to our
Judgment as good spring medicine and
blood purifier. Such thing as Sarsaparilla,
Yellow Dock, Mandrake &c. compounded
by competent druggists like Messrs. Hood
\ Co., warrant us IN suggesting that all IN
need Of 4 medicine OF this Kind give Hood
Sar>aparIlia trial.

"God moves in a mysterious way"

One great and indeed we may saJ
principal cause of the running out oil
meadows is late cutting. 1t is nol
generally known that timothy in ripen.
ing its seed requires the same ingredi-
ents rs DOES wheat-most notably
phosphorIc acid-and being remarka Bile
for lis great abundance OF seed is, on
that account, more exhaustive 10 the
soil than perhaps any other crop. This
fact-its enormous yield Of seed-shows
conclusively that instead OF resting the
land, as many suppose, it really ex-
hausts 1t as rapidly as does wheat itself.
In no case, therefore, should timothy
meadows be allowed TO ripen their seed
or get out of bloom before being cut.

aimless, inactive life had become par
of bis nature. He was thoroughly
awake now; all his dormant energies
we're springing into lite. He would
never again be the idle drone he had
heretofore been.
"A yues,' he said, as he bent over her
aud touched reverently the braids oil
her brown hair, Agnes you have spok
en- the truth, l am living like poltroon
upon the fortune my father amassed
for me. Little teacher, your words
shall not be in vain. When leone to

Indeed l have no right 10 ask any

Gently, reverently, he raised her
hand to his lips, then walked quietly
away.
Five years the seasons came and
went and with them came changes 10
Agnes home. Her mother was dead
and she was all alone.
No word had ever come directly from
Ralph. She had heard Of him in the
busy city as a rising young architect.
Her cheeks glowed when she heard bis
praise, although she believed he had
forgotten her. For year she
had been teaching in distant city,
where she received better salary.
FIVE years from the time he first met
her she returned 10 her native village
TO visit her friends and the grave of her
mother.
She was walking slowly along the
green lane that led from the village 10
the cemetery, unmindiul Of the violets
and ruttercups that raised their tiny
heads and looked pity iogly at her.
Size was very lonely this bright spring
morning. There were traces of tears
upon her face, and her lips quiveed
like those of grieved child. Tbs was
her moment Of weakness; she would be
strong again by and by.
A gentleman was coming up the
lane. A stranger. she thought. Un
consciously she found herself a3miriDg
his tall manly form, and finn resoiute

her own weakness that attracted her
attention and drew forth her admiration.
