The Bride.
Homo journal.


Thou dear Lenette! A bride is in
deed for many days, to every one. who
does not marry her, and especially to
me, a poor neagre shew-bread, but
except one hour, the hour on the morn
ing of the wedding day, when the hith-
erto free girl, trembling in her finery,
overgrown with flowers and feathers,
soon with like ones to be plucked out
by destiny; with anxious, pious eyes,
which for the last time and the lowell
est, shed their tears ON the mothers
bosom; when standing adorned on the
scaffolding of joy she celebrates so
many partings and one sole meeting :;
and when the mother turns away from
her and goes to her other children,
abandoning the anxious girl to stran-
ger; this hour, | say, touches me.
Thou ioyfully throbbing heart, then
think, not always wilt thou beat thus in
thy sultry years of married life; but
often wilt thou shed thine own blood
that thou mayest more freely step down
the path that leads to old age, even as
the channels hunters support themselves
by the blood of their own heels. Then
do feel tempted to 60 out to the viz
gins who stand by the wayside that
leads to the church, looking on with
envious eyes, and say to them: ''Do
not grudge the poor girl SO much the
rapture of perhaps fleeing delusion.
All! like her ye see to-day the beauty
and strife-apple of marriage hanging
only on the sunny side of love, SO red
and SO soft, but green sour side, hidden
by the shade, no one sees. And if We
have ever pitied from the bottom of
your hearts an unfortunate wife who
CHANGED ten years after marriage, to
pull out of a drawer her old bridal
dress, while all the tears which
she had shed in those ton years over her
sweet delusion pressed into her eyes at
once, do We then know SO surely that it
will be otherwise with the envied one
who now fits past you SO gayly and SO
brightlY?''

See that every bottle of Aliens "Iron

Allen, ST. Paul, MINI. All others are base
frauds, gotten up to deceive the public and
defraud us. The very fact of their being
initiated is a compliment to them, for if
they had not proved grand success, there
would have been no limitations. Apply the
