"In May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began TO have sores
gather on its head and body. We ap.
piled various simple remedies without
avail. The sores increased in numbe,.
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
AT last we began the use of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. In few days a marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed a more healthy condition,
the discharges We're gradually dimin-
lshed, and finally ceased altogether.

A FANCY.

Once, wandering DER untrodden fields
Far from the hustle of the town.
Bound by the spell which fancy wields,
elm bed hill and looking down,
Saw. in the valley lar beneath.
A darksome wood. where oak trees tall
Svayed in the south winds gentle breath,
Al throbbing hosoms rise and tall.
But when reached the vale, alas!
And on the very border stood,
A mighty hedge l could not pass
Grew all about the tempting wood.
] caught within the golden ray
o. buttercups. The ripping thrill
OF brooks and 'ountains in their play
With birth.songs seemed the woud to I'LL.
And, ms I listened. on the wind
There came O voice, as one who sings:
''Oh, mortal, leave the world behind,
And scale the hedge on fnncy's wings.
Behold, thou standest on the edge,
OF That enchanted tniryland.
Thy doubts have raised the mighty hedge,
Twill vanish now ut thy command"
sighed az one who doubts his dream.
Isnw the thorny hedge grow less;
And fainter grew the mystic GLENN;
The hedge passed into nothingness,
The mist eveDtide arose,
Within barren vale stood.
The day was sinking to it's CLOSE
There was no dim enchanted wood.

gentleman desired to retire, and Of

with glaring eyes.
