WASHINGTON, OCTOBER IS, 1886.
uJs;S,.

Why should Sir Hugo leave the hall,
; And seek the ruined tower
When night has spread her gloomy pail,
And threatening tempests lower?
Broods he upon deed OF Ill,
And though his soul is riven
BY fear, yet blood for blood we spill
His foe still unforgiven9
Say, does he fear fathers curse,
A mothers bitter scorniug9
Or are his thoughts still worse and worse
AS night approaches morningp
Does he attempt in the chill air
Revenge and hate to smother,
Because the fairest Of the fair
1s welded TO another?
No; he reflects upon no deed
OF stabbing, shooting. choking;
But out of doors consumes the weed,
AS his aunt objects to smoking.

Browns Iron Bittcrs.

So quick in its action, SO sure in its re-
suits is it, that it is known in malarial
districts as Brown's Iron Bitters, Hc Mala-
ria Specific. Its action is directly upon
the blood and liver. 1t purifes the one,
and strengthens and stimulates the other.
A pure vegetable medicine; a specific
blood purifier; 1t tones and strengthens
the whole system, giving it power to
throw off the effects Of miasma.
By furnishing the wasted and lost Gle
ments of bodily health it removes all
malarial tendencies, and, taken as a
remedy, it cures. AS a preventive, it
so fortifes and imbues the system with
health-giving properties that malaria,
feuer and chills, and Intermittent jeUcr, can
gain no hold upon the body thus pro-
tected.
