Blood and Money.

The blood of man has much TO do in shaping
his actions during his pilgrimage through this
troublesome world, regardless of the amount
OF present or eXpectant money in pocket or
stored away in bank. IL is a conceded fact
that we appear as our blood makes us, and
the purer the blood the happier, healthier,
prettier and wiser we are; hence the oft re
peated interrogatory, chow is your blood p
With pure streams of life-giving fluid cours.
ing through our veins, bounding through oui
hearts and ploughlng through our physical
frames, our morals become better, our consti-
tuition stronger, our intellectual faculties
more acute and grander, and men, women
and children happier, healthier and more
lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the unparal.
leled curative powers, and the unmistakable
proof from those of unimpeachable character
and integrity, point with an unerring finger
to B. b. B.-Botahic Blood Balm-as far the

frenzied opposition and would-be moneyed
monOpolists.
Letters from all points where introduced are
pouring in upon us, speaking in its loudcst

from one bottle of b. B. b. than they have

A LOVE TIFF.

They had love-qnerrel. Ethan
Nash and lilly Fogg had been the
most earnest of lovers, especially lilly.
Ethan did not betray half the warmth
about it that she did, because it never
was in him; but if ever man wanted
more devotion, and affection, and all
that sort of thing than lilly Fogg gener-
ously lavished on Ethan Nash, he must
have been an unnatural and eXacting
fellow.
For some days they had been very
careful not to speak to one another.
No two people ever tried SO hard to
be entirely Indifferent each to the
other.
At last it got to be so bad that Ethan
had stayed away from lilly for two or
three weeks. How he managed to do it
was mystery, and always will be; it
can be explained only on principles of
contraries, and sulks, and oddities.
1t was getting to be rather unpleas-
ant considered in all points Of view.
There was poor lilly almost dying from
the treatment, though she never would
have entered complaint of any sort in
the ear of any living soul; her eye was
beginning to lose little of its usual
Brightness could see 1t plainly enough
and the red roses on her cheeks were
fading rather fast.
There happened to be another young
miss in the village. who had been teach
ing the district school during the sum-
mer, and had finally concluded that it
would be the pleasantest thing she
could do to stay through the winter, too,
and visit around. just at this particular
time she was staying at Squire Judkin's
house. Her name was Lucy Doane.
Lucy Doane was just the smartest
girl, in her own estimation, l think /
ever knew Having been selected to in-
struct the younger portion of the chill
dren the past summer in needlework
and alb, alb, and being considered COM
petent TO keep the smallest ones from
rolling off the benches, while asleep,
upon the floor. she somehow reasoned
herself into the complacent idea that
there was no lady in the place who
could beat her in conversation, correct
grammar, or, indeed, any of the accom-
plishments that were going.
She wore glasses with silver bows,
mitts on her hands, and always kept
her work-bag on her left arm. A per-
fectpicture of a 'school-marm" in all
the persons parts and qualities
At this particular time there was o
deep fall of snow on the ground, and
the sleighlng was glorious Bells and
bellies made the old country roads mer-
~, far and near. There were parties
without number to the nelghboring
towns, making up merry dances in

Song of a Lily.

Her fine array was wrought I'm looms Of air,
And woven by the shuttles of the sun.
In nOiseless warp and wool Of tissue fair,
And kindly Juices from the warm earth won;
And all of wandering Odors that were sweet
Were caught within her silken web of light;
And perfumed rains that wept around her
feet
Their fragrance yielded in the summer
night.
The lily toiled not, spun not yet she grew
In loneliness supreme, from day to day;
A hand Divine impaired every hue,
And clothed her in her beautiful array.
The boon of dews, and rain, and as u kiss;
Her white and suppliant petals, clasped in
prayer,
Gave silent thanks amid created bliss.
OF If such issues, spring from gifts OF thine,
II such unfoldings on thy bounty wait,
The ambient airs which nurse the life divine
My soul shall steep, my spirit satiate.
1t shall be NINE with suppliant hand to claim
The utmost boon thy treasures may hold;
Why should the lily's bloom my spirit shame,
When Earth is rich and Heaven is raining

Her Reply.

from dozen or two ~ ' "

have chosen tonight,
The CLEAN Of your eyes In the darkness, tho

like It, / ssyl Understand me, I'm free to
accept and to choose,
To trihe and torment and punish, or just to
politely refuse.
Quite candid moreover. to turn with "Real-
lyf Indeed you surprise"
With scorn on my lips and culver Of careless
contempt in my eyes.
Yet somehow II touches one oddly to break
the monotonous chain
OF stupid and meaningless phrases, and catch
a dissimilar strain,
A whisper Of something unwonted, q chord
from curious song
That sets the heart throbbing more swiftly
and hurries the life stream along.
But mark you, woman will reason, and
roses lesson their bloom,
And these are not all, light and laughter, and
crowds, and the Joy of this room:
For morning comes garish and fretful, when
gaslight no glamor may lend,
And one lies awake with the nightmare of
wondering how II will end,
For men are both tickle and foolish, and slaves

And, sometimes, as selfish as Satan-and you
are man like the rest,
So-well, though harken your pleading, and
sympathize deeply, you know,
with all OF your hopes and ambitions, and
sigh for the weight of your wo;
And much as you STR and delight me- with
dreams of future Of bliss,
deem It my duty and pleasure to answer you
frankly like this:
That love is a light or darkness, its here

And love makes a hell or a'heaven according
as circumstance rule;
And love brings sufficient Of anguish, encoun-

back at him; l sat where could see it
all; and there were others that saw it as
well. For a few minutes the friends
and acquaintance of each party were
instantly engaged in regarding their
conduct
Ethan instantly threw his eyes up at
the opposite wall, just as if there were
no such person as lilly Fogg in the
room. On her part, to exhibit proper
degree of resentment she pursed her
pretty mouth. gave her head contempt
uous toss, and acted As independently
as if she was to lead off in the dance
herself that night, and knew it
Well, and what was little strange,
too, she did lead of, standing with her
partner. who was young student of
law in the Office of Squire Docket, at the
head of the figure.
How elegant she looked in her taste
full dress and with her beautiful colorl
What an air of queenly pride she
portrayed as she smoothed down the
glossy hair OH her temples and looked
over the rustic crowd as if she knew
well enough that she was the belle Of
the evening.
Ethan stood a good way down the
floor, and 1t was noticeable what an
everlasting chat his fair psrtner-Lucy
Doane-kept up for him behind hsr
Widespread fan. Only once or twice
Ethan's eyes wandered up to where the
little figure of lilly Fogg was standing,
but Lucy Doane watched every move
ment and brought him back to his
senses again.
As for lilly, che was perfectly wretch
ed, though she did laugh and chatter SO
much with her partner, the young law
student There was excess in her
actions, and that was enough to betray
her.
Anyone with even half an eve could
see that at once. But no doubt it as
sisted to hcighten her beauty; for but
for this unhappy pressure on her pride
and her self-will, there would have been
no such suffusion about her cheeks, nor
no such imperious expression about her
beautiful eyes.

With the arrival OF Springtine
comes the desire to shed Winter

The question for you to determine,
then, is: Where can you be best
suited, not alone in the material
or style that your fancy calls for,
but in that important factor that
enters so largely into every mans
arrangements, viz: THE PRICE.
We do not claim to have a mo-
nopoly Of ALL the good things in
the Clothing line. They who do,
make a false claim, and "FILSUs

we have some of the neatest and
most desirable styles for men

our garments invariably conform
to the shape Of the average man,
so there is but little trouble about
obtaining a perfect At, as, in ad-
dition to our regular" sizes, we

our sizes daily, thereby keeping
