Mr.. w. Z. Clarke, OF Providence, X. L.,
SEINE years ago made concerning his Kidney
medicine, Hunts Remedy, the strong state
ment that il was never known TO fail. y
How did he dare TO say so much? How
did he know 1t 20 be the truth? Becudse
Hunts Remedy, the great kidney and liver
medicine, proved itself TO be 3 positive
cure for BrightIs Disease of the Kidneys
and he knew that medicine that would
accomplish that, would cure any ailment OF
the Kidneys, Bladder, liver or Urinary Or
gsns. And time has proved the statement
strictly true.

Within the garden wall he sat,
And softly strummed on his guitar
And fixed the air with dulce6 strain, ~

The beauty that mine eyes beheldl
But no, I'll have to let that stand W.

How she his love repealed.
She listened as his song arose
Above her washtub's sullen roar.
IT'S awful sad" she said. i" but then

1t sounds so like dads snore."
A moment more she listened there
Aud caught the words the singer sung:
My heart Is sad and pants for thee"
His heart is sad and pants for me-,
And dashboard down she flung.
Then down the cellar stairs she ran
Sweet smiles her face chased o'er),
And, quick returning, brought to view
A chain and dog-a bulldog, too
And quick threw ope the door.
The moon had rose above the hill
Bright scene to fill the poets heart
When through the night a cry of pain,
A rush of feet, n fall, and then
The dog has done his part.

For me? Some clothing from that mani

AFFECT Poverty and Suffering in Ireland.

WASHINGTON, Mayo.
AS result OF inquiries made at the State
Department, it has been learned that the
subject of Governor Buffers recent letter to
Secretary Folger-namely, pauper immlgra-
ton from Ireland, has for some months
been under consideration in that depart
ment. A number of reports relating thereto
have been received, and among the most
interesting is one from Consul-General
Merritt, of London, giving the results of an
investigation made at his request in March
last by United State Consuls in Ireland.
The Consuls generally agree that the dis
tress prevailing at present is not exceptional
in its character, and that published
accounts TO the contrary are eXag-
gerated. In the poorer agricultural
districts the situation of the peasantry is
miserable, and abject poverty is the rule,
but sad as it is, it has been the same
for years and has become the normal condi-
ton of life. 1t may be safely assumed that
the much-talked-of starvation point has
not been reached, however bad the situation
may be, and that local and Government
authorities have abundant means to relieve
actual necessity. The prospects of the
amelioration of the present condition in the
immediate future are most discouraging.
