Too sweet to BIO always moral,
Too pleasant to daily decry;
Too sunny to be always griovine,
Too precious to fling it away
Too sad TO laugh from the leaving

Life is too strange for any
To fathom-to comprehend
Life is 30 gloomy that many
Hope and look for the-End.
Life Is too tleeting to worry,
Too solemn to joke by the way
Too joyously dreamy to hurry
To-day into lost yesterday.
Life is go full Of laughter,

or meetings and paintings, that, after
All. a play it appears

ATTENTION, DoCToRs.-Every-
body knows that the life of the aver
age physician is a hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distan-
ces through mud and rain for mere
ly nominal fee. 1t is not fit nor
proper for us to condemn any phys
ician for his work, but we do assert
that his practice can be made easier,
and he can affect more cures by the
proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy
to his list of medicines. he will find
that his usefulness will be greatly
increased. Full directions for it's
use will be found in the "Ills of Life"
and he should at once procure this
valuable book. Read the following:

Words of Wisdom.

A noble heart, like the sun, show
eth its greatest countenance in its
lowest estate.
To have thought far too little, we
shall find in the review of life,
among our capital faults.
The hardest trial of the heart is
whether it can bear a rivals failure
without triumph.
The thunder of great words does
not always betoken great thought,
for many grand salute is fired with
blank cartridge.
A mans fortune should be the
rule for his sparing, rot spending.
Extravaganza may be supported
not justified, by affluence.
We seldom contemn mankind till
they have injured us, and when they
have we seldom do anything but de-
test them for the injury.
The Chinese have a saying that
an unlucky word dropped from the
tongue cannot be brought back again
by coach and six horses.
More hearts pine away in secret
anguish for unkindness from those
who should be their comforters, than
for any other calamity in life.

AN EGYPTIAN CUSTOM. 1t is
stated that the ancient Egyptians
when they Toasted always had
skeleton at the table with them.
This was for the purpose of remind
ing them that even in the midst of
mirth and revelry death was apt to
come. Let him come when he will
and he is unwelcome. The Egypt
ians sought to teach that all should
prepare for the grim monster and be
ready to follow him, let him call
when he would. The lesson can
well be remembered to-day. All
should live prepared to die at any
moment, and all should learn now
while in the full enjoyment of wealth
and its pleasures that Peruna is the
greatest remedy in the world for the
diseases to which flesh is heir. II
can be procured at any drug store.
Ask your druggist for Peruna, the
