IRON TONIC AND BLOOD
PURIFIER,

The only preparation of iron in solution in
which the iron has not been oxidized or rusted
Everyone knows that iron in most any form
is a good tonic; but when you have prepa-
ration of iron in solution, in which the iron
has not been rusted, you have superior ar
ticle. Iron when oxidized or rusted has most
of its life or virtue destroyed.
This preparation is as limpid and trans
parent as spring water, and readily assimi-
iates the food taken into the stomach, the
only means of reaching the blood, and in that
manner penetrating every part of your system
If your physician prescribes tonic for you
call his attention to this preparation, and he
will tell you that it must be the best.
This preparation has been tried and tested
by competent physicians and pronounced the
best, and not single individual that has used
it to our knowledge but says that they have
been greatly benefited. Besides, it has made
cures in cases that physicians had treated for
years without success. tits a certain remedy
in anemia, nervousness, dyspepsia, chills and
fevers, and all diseases incident to malaria.
Female diseases, kidney and urinary or
gans, lost vitality, impotency, rheumatism,
and in conyalescence from debilitating dis
eases, and, in fact, III oil cases requiring a
tonic, it is the best.
Send for circular with home testimonials to
our office, 1O3 Hanover street, Baltimore, Md.

BY Z. T. WRIGHT.
Ich sehe Oft um Mitternacht.
Wen ich mein Werk gethan,
Und Niemand mehr i'm Hause wacht,
Die Stern, am Himmel an.
Oft at the hour of midnight,
When all my work is done,
And slumber deep has fallen,
Save me, on every one,
sit alone, and gazing
With wistful, straining eyes,
Istrive to count the star-gems
That sparkle in the skies;
But as try to number
These bright CLEANS ofthe night,
Their brilliant flashes, blending.
Sport with my dazzled sight.
As meadow lambs in grazing,
Oft wander to and fro.
With neyer-ceasing motion
They seem to come and go.
Some, ranged in shining columns,
Move on with stately tread;
While some, like strings of jewels,
Form circlets DER my head.
Nights spangled arch is glowing
With radiance far and wide;
My soul is filed with splendor,
And still unsatisfed.
The sky seems but a curtain
ofdeep and gorgeous hue,
And the moon and stars but flashes
OF Heaven shining through.
And deep within my bosom,
My heart, in fervent strain,
Cries: God has better things
Than all earth's joy-or pain!"
seek at last my pillow,
But find not sleep nor rest,
For a strong, unsated longing,
Yet fills my throbbing breast.
A longing for grandeur
Not found in earth or air;
A whisper comes: within thee!
Life's grandeur must be there"

A little thoughtful attention, how happy
it makes the old, They have outlived
most of the friends of their early youth.
How lonely their hours Often their part
ners in life have long filed silent graves
often their children they have followed to
the tomb. They stand solitary, bending on
their staff, waiting till the same call shall
reach them. How often must they think
of the absent lamented faces; of the love
which cherished them, aud the tears of
sympathy which fell with theirs; now all
gone. Should not the young cling around
them, cheering their gloom with songs and
happy smiles? ~ aA

of terrible suffering to poor Claude.
Hour after hour Ora sat by his bedside
ministering to his wants and soothing
his pain with the gentleneas and devo-
tion Of an angel. But, at last, she knew
that her labor Of love was ended.
Claude was getting well.
don't know how 1 should have
done without you, my dear" declared
Mrs. Lytton, when Ora spoke of leaving
them. "Your help has been simply in
valuable. Name any return that is in
my power to grant and you shall have
it, with my fervent gratitude besides"
But Ora shrank back, blushing pain
fully, for Claude's handsome eyes were
fixed intently upon her face.

replied. "If have your gratitude and
Mr Claude's-that Is all ask
"I shall never forget your goodness,
my dear GIRL" said Claude simply,
taking her hand for one moment. But
there was something in the glance Of
bis blue eyes that set her heart to beat
ing wildly.
Ere another week had passed she hal
left the village to begin her new life as
a governess.
"A gentleman in the parlor to see
you, Miss Page" announced one of her
pupils, looking in at her half.oFen door
and vanishing again ere Ora had time
to ask question.
A gentleman! Who could il be?
She went downstairs wonderinga little
nervously, for her visitors were few
indeed. But when she beheld Claude
Lytton, radiantly handsome, standing
before her, she thought she must be
dreaming.
"My dear little angel of mercy" he
said, taking her hand and pressing it
tenderly to his lips, 81 told you would
never forget You, but | didn't quite
know then how impossible that would
be, even il I had wished to-"
And then he told her how he had
learned to love her, and Ora soon after
ward returned to her humble home,
the very happiest girl in the universe
But its lowly roof did not shelter her
long, for she soon became Claude's bride
and is now the honored and accomplish
ed mistress of Lytton Hall.
And her mother is no longer the

vided for for life, and is now treated
with marked respect on account Of her
