A HAPPY FAMILY.
by MRS. NJ L. RAYNE.

1t was Sunday. Mr.. Skinner was
tired, and thought be would lie down on
the sofa in the back parlor and rest.
People never learn by experience, and
be Was ma exception to the common
rule.
He lay down and crossed his feet with
parade hardly justifiable under the
circumstances. His wife came in and
saw him.

on that lew sofa with your ooots on, and
o.. my goddess! your head on that lace
tidy had done up only last week. You
are the most inconsiderate man ever

Adams Fall.

Ever since Adams fall, which subjected
human nature to diseases of the flesh, there
has been demand for a blood purifier.
We all realize the fact tha at upon the purity
and vitality of tho blood depend the health
aud vigur Of the whole system, and that
disease Of various kinds is often only Il sign
that nature is trying to remove the dstur b.
ing causes hence a reliable blood purifier is
of greater importance to the people than is
generally supposed. We are pleased To say
that Hnnd's Sarsaparilla bears unmistakable
prnnf of being this sort OF medicine, and
we think it worthy of trial.
