Spring
Medicine

The popularity which Hoods Sarsaparills
has attained as Spring Medicine Is simply
wonderful. 1t is recognized everywhere as
the leading preparation for this season, and
no other article in the market begins to reach
the sale which this medicine has gained. Any
druggist will confirm this statement Hoods
Sarsaparilla has reached this position OF the
peoples favorite spring medicine, because II
does all that is claimed for it. 1t contains
those properties which are known to medical
science as powerful in removing poisonous
impurities from the blood, and by their tonic
effect to restore waste tissues and drive away
weakness and debility.
81 am having good trade on Hoods Sar-
saparilla now, and those who use 1t think II
the best blood and tonic remedy on the
market" j. F. HITE, Owensboro, Ky.

SHEPHERDSTOWN w. VA, FRIDAY, MARCH 6. 1891
The Washerwoman's Song.

In very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap,
Worked a woman full ofhope;
Working, singing, all alone,
In a sort OF undertone,
with a saviour for friend,
He will keep me 10 the end
Sometimes happening along,
heard the semi-song,
And often used to smile,
More In sympathy than guile;
But I never said word
In regard 10 what l heard,
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her TO the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee
Working all day long was she,
AS her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long,
with the Saviour for friend,
he will keep me 10 the end
It's song do not sing,
For scarce believe a thing
Ofthe stories that are told
Ofthe miracles OF old;
But know that her belief
Is the anodyne OF grief,
And will always be friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor AS poor could be,
But her spirits always rose,
Lick the bubbles In the clothes.
And though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
Ola Saviour and friend
Who would keep her to the end.
have seen her rub and scrub,
on the washbcard in the tub.
While the baby, sopped in suds.
Rolled and tumbled in the duds;
Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in spools;
She still humming Of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root In human needs;
And | would not wish TO strip
From that washerwoman' lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that songs can bring:
For the woman has friend
Who will keep her TO the end.

Thoughtful Speaker DOughton.
(Morganton Herald. J

In the House of Representatives at
Raleigh Messrs. Houk of Burke, Biddix
of Mcdowell, Phillips OF Watauga and
Patterson of Caldwell have seats close
together to the left of the Speakers
chair and under the galleries. The seats
are comfortable enough, but they are so
located that it is Impossible to see the
many beautiful ladies who frequent the
galleries without very uncomfortable
twisting of the neck. The Legislature
had only been in session few days when
1t was discovered that several Of the
gentlemen Damed above were suffering
from muscular trouble which kept
their heads constantly turned over their
left shoulders, and their chins pointin &
to the ceiling. The matter was called to
the attention of Speaker DOughton, and
he acted with that promptnesS and decls-
ion which is one of his we'll known char
aeteristics. A large mirror was placed
on the wall to the right Of the seats oc-
cupied by the Representatives named
directly opposite the galleries where the
ladies congregate, and set at an angle
that while rejecting all the faces that ap-
| peared above it was in full view from
| the seats of the gentlemen named. Since
that time all the trouble has disappear
ed and it is noticed that when one of the
| quartette mentioned rises to address the
Speaker, he invariably strokes his must
ache and smiles into the mirror.
