Which is the Strongest?

The Persian king sat on his throne;
Around him, file on file,
The lords of all his mighty zone,
From India to the Nile.
With gold and gems resplendent shone,
And smiled to see him smile.
"Now tell me-" said he, half in scorn,
(which is the strongest thing
Woman or Wine, or Truth sky y-born,
Or PerS1a's mighty King?
Who answers best, purple vest
Shall have and golden ring"
Then spoke the first and said; cred wine
OF all is strongest far.
1t fills the heart with joy divine;
Life brightens like IA star;
The rich and poor embrace benign
And all men brethren are"
Then said the second, bowling low,
"Earth's strongest is the King.
He says 'Go forth; his armies go;
They fear no living thing.
They smite the foe with deadly blow,
And home rich treasures bring"
Then said the third ''Woman of all
OF these is strongest still;
She rules the King within his hall,
And has with each her will.
What man most values, at her call
lie brings her lap to fill.
1 saw Apame sitting fair
Beside the King of the land;
She pucked the crown from his dark hair,
With air of mock command;
Then placed it on her tresses rare,
And slapped his meddling hand.
Nor frowned the King, but only smiled,
Submissive to her mind;
To her caprice he was child.
So always with mankind;
No matter how untamed and wild,
Woman can tame and bind"
ssBut Truth is stronger still; its hand
Reaches from Heaven above.
1t binds the Ages with band
OF Wisdom and of Love.
The earth stands still at its command,
The sun and stars do move.
Wine may eXalt us to the skies,
But then it biteth sore;
A wonan's sweetest witcheries
Will fade when youth is o'er;
But Truth eternal never dies,
And gladdens more and more.
The prince shouted ''Great is Truth,
And mightiest over all -
Darius said s'Oh, Hebrew Youth,
Stand first in court and hall.
All things forsooth feel Times fierce tooth.
But Truth shall never fall!''

this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
a. an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so raany OF his
distinguished successors are ooing.
The celebrated Dr. Farms ', 2rth, of
Norwich. Conn. recommends Ayers
Pills as the best of all RENEE: .es for
q Intermittent Fevers."
DR. T. e. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn, says: layers Pills are higlny
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. 1 make daily use of them
in my practice"
Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass,
says; Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice,
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use"
The Massachusetts State Assayer, DE-
A A. Hayes certitieS / have made IL
careful analysis of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles of we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
of great importance to their usefulness

no metallic or mineral substance, but
