THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never initiated or cossnterfsited This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy insstated is of the highest value.
 As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best andsmostssv family med icine on earth, many limitations sprang up and began to steal the notices in which the press and people of the country had express ed the merits of H. B ,, and in every way try ing to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead. expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B.. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to B., with yariously devised names in which the word "Hop" or Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believesthey were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pre- tended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and, especially those with the word Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or commercials. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned against dealing in imita- tions or commercials.

Coming Home at Last.
BY WILL CARLTON.

ron the proposed removal of the remains of John Howard Payne te this country.] The punishment was overlong,
 But it will soon be past. The man who wrote Homes sweetest song
 Is coming home at last For years hls poor abode was seen
 In foreign lands alone, And waves have thundered loud between
 This singer and his own. But he will soon be journeying
 To friends across the sea- And grander than of any king
 His welcome here shall be- He can not come with cheerful brow,
 And step of conscious pride; .us He will not hear the tributes now
 That fall on every side; And when we tell hlm how his rich Sad strains our hearts have sought, He can not tell the price at which The yearniLg words were bought! And silently this man must come Unto the waiting throng- .... Who gave trumpet voice to Home, And thrilled the world with song He wandered OCT the dreary earth,
 Forgotten and alone: He who could teach Homes matohless worth Nicer had one of his own. Meath winters cloud and summers sun,
 Along the hilly road, He bore his great heart, and had none To help hlm with the load; And wheresoever in his round
 He went with weary tread, His sweet pathetic song he found
 Had hoated on ahead VI. -1rT. -" .,-tEg . He heard the melodies it made
 Come pealing OCT and OCT, From royal music bands that played
 Before the palace door; He heard it's gentle tones of love
 From many cottage creep, When tender grooming mothers strove
 To sing their babes to sleep; And wheresoe'er true love had birth
 This thrilling song had flown .e But he who taught Homes matchless worth
 Had no home of his own! The banishment was overlong,
 But it will soon be past The man who wrote Homes sweetest song
 Shall have home at last And he shall rest where laurels wave
 And fragrant grasses twins; His swsetiy kept and honored grave |. Shall be @ sacred shrine. And pilgrims with glad eyes grown dim
 Will fondly bend above The man who sang the triumph hymn
 Of earths divlnest love.

A queer tragedy was enacted the other week in village of the Vaucluse called Cheval Blanc. Ten years ago an Italian navvy, who had been working on the railway then in course of construction, was tried for manslaughter, the witness who was mainly instrumental in securing his conviction being peasant belonging to the village of Cheval- Blanc. The nav " was sentenced to ten years' penal servi- tude, and on leaving the dock he declared that when he had served his time he would come back and take his revenge. About 8 fortnight ago he re-appeared in the vil- lage and, meeting the wife of the peasant, told her that she might consider her hus- band dead man. She ct once gave in- formation to the gendarmerie of his pres ence In the district, but he eluded the searen made for him and made his appear ance at the farmhouse inhabited by the peasant on Sunday morning. The man was still in bed, and when he looked out of the window and recognized the Italian he took up gun which he kept by his bedside, and fired two shots, killing his would-be murderer on the spot. The Italian was armed with revolver and . long knife.
