AT DEAD OF NIGHT.

At dead OF night her silk-smooth hair in two
thick streams dividing,
All over her cleaning shoulder its lustriou'
beauty Law;
She stood too long at her mirror, the con
scious smile half.hiding,
And the tall wax tapers burning made the
chamber light as day.
Slowly She lifts at last her velvety eyes to heI
mother,
Those long eyes heRvy-liddcd, with a warm
and languld gaze;
Sadder and almost stern Is the answering
look OF the other,
As the keen eyes ill with tears at thought
OF long-past days.
Her smile is fixed and grave, and her small
foottaps the floor;
"My hair was longer than yours, with that
chestnut gloss" sighs she;
"Till you, my first-born, came;" her voice
drops low and lower;
"Ah, child, you little guess what uso,''g-'s
lot must be.h
"she can think no more of self when once
she becomes mother"
"Self!-who could think OF self" the start
led maiden cries,
Beauty Is incense burning on the shrine we
raise to another"
And a woman's soul is struggling in the
beautiful Juno eyes.
"Glve? what Is woman's life but a strength
sublime for giving?
Tears and bushes and pNngs, anguish and
dread delight:
Sacred the virgins fears, from the scalcd-up
fount OF living,
And sacred the mothers prayers In the
holy silent night"
At dead OF night, in silk-smooth hair, her
slender fingers twlning,
She stands at the tell-tale mirror, with
never a word to say;
A calm, unearthly beauty on that white fore
head shining,
And the tall wax tapcrs burning make the
chamber light as day.

DIR. J. lack Taylor My son-in-law,
horn in New Orleans, and lived in many
sections Of the United States, has always
bad attacks Of Ague and Fever and MaIarial
Troubles. He tried the Doctors out West.
aud in Baltimore and everywhere but no
cure. The Doctors here told him he would
have 10 get acclimated to the place before
he could get well Of them. SO when | re-
turned home from my last summers tour,
! got him TO try your AGUE BITTERs. He
had not taken one bottle before the chills
left him, his complexion changed and ap-
petite returned; "and," said he, II am go
ing TO take DIR. TayloF's advice and take
three bottles" He took "a bottles-got so
well that he discontinued It, and has not
had chill since. and to-day he looks like
another man and gives your medicine the
praise. Says he is not afraid Of being sick,
Tor when he feels anyways bad he takes a
dose Of Ague Bitters. This is undoubted
proof Llat Agle Bitters is specific for chills
and malarial troubles. besides being blood
cleanser and perfect liver regulator, which
changes a swarthy, death-like countenance
10 health and cleaFness, as in the above case.
