EARNEST THOUGHTS.

Not unto every heart is G DDS good gift
VI love and tenderness allowed we meet
With love in many aspects when we lift
First to our lips fe's waters btter-sweet.
Love comes upon one with rcSistless power
OF curbless passion, oft with headstrong will
1t plays around like April's breeze and shower,
Or calmly flows, a rapid stream and still.
1t comes with soothing power unto the heart
That welcomes it Alright, or, saddcr fate,
1t wrings our being with so fierce smart
That love, we say, more cruel is than hate.
And then, perchance, when love has ceased to
bless,
Our longing hearts cry out for tenderness.
long for tenderness like that which hung
About me lying on my mothers breast;
a selfless feeling that no pen or tongue
Can Ger portray-for silence sings it best:
A love as far removed from passions heat
As from the embers of its dying fire.
a love to lean on when my weary feet
Begin to trembe and my eyes to tire.
In youths brief hey-dey fiercest love you seek,
The reddcst rose you grasp; but when 1t dies
God grant that later blossoms, violets meek,
May spring for you beneath lfc's autumn
skies!
Then may some loving ones be near to bless
Your weary way with love and tenderness.

A C0mical Story of a Kitten.

which the most of the time she carried in her
arms, was tired one day of her company and
attempted to escape. The ape strongly OBJ,

seized one of the paws of her pet, examined
it carefully, and finding, probably, the sharp
claws dangerous superfluity in so small a
being, bit them off, one by one.

No Mystery About II.

There are no mysteries or secrets about the
compromising of Browns Iron Bitters. The
preparation of iron is the only one that can
be taken without injuring the teeth or
stomach. 1t gives vigor to the feeble, life to
the debilitated, and health TO the dyspeptic.
You need not fear to give it to the most deli
