Indigestion

S not only distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years l suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
mad strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until / commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla l could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, 1 found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life >,

Where Walters Profit.

Delmonico's walters in the Twenty
sixth street restaurant are Just now
looking forward to the annual sale of
the furnishings of the building. They
expect to add to the attractions of their
own houses out of their purchases, or
else make handsome profit by reselling
to dealers the things they buy. When
the season closes the employees of the
restaurant receive notice that a sale
will take place, and that they alone will
be admitted to it. When the auction
begins the carpets, linen, curtains, and
the like, which have been in use
scarcely year, are knocked down to
the highest bidder. There is an un-
written law that any one who buys for
any other than himself shall be deprived
of all future advantages of the sales,
and therefore the men are anxious to
act with entire fairness.
As the auction is conducted for the
interests of the employees of the famous
restaurant, the bargains to be obtained
are at times great. Expensive curtain,s g
which show the wear of season
slightly, are disposed of as low as So a
pair, and there is q legend to the effect
that one year the heavy moquette car
pet in the restaurant was sold to a lucky
bidder for $lS He trotted it off to o

-&1Sh the Silent Bush-boy alone at my side;
When the sorrows of life the soul oercast.
And, sick Of the present, cling to the past;
When the eye is suf.used with reSretful tears,
From the fond recollections Of former years:
And shadows OF things that have long sine
fed
Fit over the brain like the ghosts Of the dead:
Bright visions of glory that vanish too soon;
Daydreams-that depart ere manhoods noon;
Attachments-by fate or by falsehood reft;
Companions Of early days-lost or left;
And my native land-whose magical name
Thrills to tine heart like electric flame;
The home of my childhood, the haunts OF m,
prime;
All the passions and scenes of that raptuou
time,
When the feelings were young and the work.
Like the fresh bowers Of Eden unfolding Il
view;
All-nll now forsaken- -forgotten-foresone!
And Ia lone exile. remembered by none
My high aims abandoned-ny good deeds un
Awenry OF nj that is under the son-
With that sadness of heart which no stranger

Afar in the Desert love to ride,
With the silent Bush-boy alone by my side.
When the wild turmoil of this wearisoine life
With its scenes of oppression, corruption, and
strife
The proud mans frown, and the base mans
fears,
the scorner's laugh, and the sufferers tear
And mnlice and ineanness, and falsehood and
folly,
Dispose me TO nlusing and dark melancholy;
When my bosom is full, and my thoughts are
high,
And my soul Is sick with the bondman's sigh
Oh then there is freedom, and JOY, and pride

Afar in the Desert love to ride

Away. away, from the dwellings Of men,
BY the wild deers haunt, by the buffalo S glen
BY valleys remote, where the oribi plays,
Where the gnu, the gazelle, and the harte-beest
And the kudu and Gland unhunted recline
BY the skirts of gray forests oerhung with wild
vine,
Where the elephant browses at peace in the
wood,
And the riyer-horse gambols unscared in the
flood;
And the mightiest rhinoceros wallows at will
In the fen where the wild ass is drinking his

Afar in the Desert / love to ride
With the silent Bush-boy alone by my side;
Away, away, in the wilderness vast
Where the white mans foot hath never passed,
And the quivcred Corunna or Bechuan
Hath rarely crossed with his rowing clan;
A region Of emptiness. bowling and drear,
Which man hath abandoned from famine or
fear;
Which the snake and the lizard inhabit alone,
With the twilight bat from the yawning stone
Where grass, nor herb nor shrub takes root,
Save poisonous herbs that pierce the foot;
And the bitter melon, for food and drink,

A region Of drought, where no river glides,

Happy Homes.


Here's health to the wives and the mothers
Who sit in our households to-day;
Who are glad when they brighten for others
The hours that go drifting away.
May their eyes keep the light of the gladnese,
Their hearts hold the fullness Of bliss
That banishes shadows and sadness,
And what need we ask more than this?
But-how can this happiness be kept?
What shall protect those We love,-those who
make a Heaven of the Home,-from the
ravages of disease that is often worse than
death,-that is, in fact, a lingering death?
The question is easily answered: DR.. Pierce S
