WHAT Mx LovER SAP.

THE following poem is recognized as
one of the most charming gems pub
ished IN the English language. It's
authenticity is wholly unknown, though
it has been long suspected that it came
from the fertile brain and tender heart
Of the immortal Horace Greeley. Re-
GENTLY an Eastern gentleman offered to
deed his splendid farm, valued at
SO. 600, to any one producing a copy
Of the poem antedating the one In his
possession. Geo. T. Afford.
By the merest chance, in the twilight gloom,
In the orchard path he met me;
In the tai wet grass, with its faint perfume,
And I tried to pass, but he made no room
0, tried, but he would not let me.
So stood and blushed till the grass grew
With my face bent down above it.
While he took my hand as he whispering
said
How the clover lifted each pink sweet head,
To listen to all that my lover saidl
o, the clover in blOOm-I love til
In the high wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low wet leaves hung over,
But could not pass on either side,
For found myself, when vainly tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there, and he raised my
head,
While he closed the path before me,
And he looked down into my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from the boughs
o'erhead
To listen to all that my lover said!
o, the leaves hanging lOWly DER mel
Had he moved aside but little way,
could surely then have passed him,
And he hHlSO never could wish to stay,
And would not have heard what he wished
to say,
Could only aside have cast him.
1t was almost dark, and the moments sped,
And the searching night wind found US;
But he drew me nearer and softly said
How the pure sweet wind grew still instead,
To listen to all that my lover said.
o, the whispering wind around usi
I am sure he k7lelC. when he held me fast.
That must be all unwilling,
For tried to go, and would have passed,
As the night was come with its dews at last,
And the sky with its stars was filing;
But he clasped me close, when would have
fed,
And he made me hear his story.
And his soul came out from his lips and
How the stars crept out, when the white
moon led,
To listen to what my lover said,
o, the moon and stars in glory.
EsnolO that the grass and the leaves will
not tell,
And I'm sure that the wind, precious
VIII carry this secret so safely and well
That no being will ever discover
One word Of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lips of my lover;
And the moon and the stars that looked
over
Shall never reveal what fairy-like spell
They wove round about me that night in
the dell,
In the path through the dew laden clover;
Nor echo the whispers that made my heart
swell
As they fell from the lips of my lover.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. known through
ont malaria plagued regions, here and IN 9TH
er countries, as the surest means of disarn-
ing the miasmatic scourge. and robbing it of
its fell destructive influence. Not only does
it fortify the system by increasing its staIni-
ma, but overcomes irregularity of digestion,
the liver and the bowels, and counteracts the
unfavorable effects of over-exertion, bodily
and mental exposure in rough weather, or
occupation too sedentary or laborious, loss
of appetite and excessive nervousness. The
functions of alimentation, bilious secretion
and sleep have in it a most powerful and re-
liable auxiliary.

THOSE who have given close study to
the requirements of the human system
in the matter of food say that healthy
man requires 300 grains of nitrogen
and 1000 grains of carbon daily to re-
pair the waste that goes on during the
twenty-four hours. As meat contains
100 grains of carbon and 300 of nitro
gen in every 1000 grains, it would be
necessary to eat six and one half
pounds of meat to supply the amount
of carbon the system requires, which
would entail the consumption of great
deal more nitrogen than the system
needs. On the other hand. bread con-
tains 300 grains of carbon and ten of
nitrogen IN every 1000 grains, so that
to obtain the amount of nitrogen re-
quired it is necessary to consume twice
as much bread as will supply the req
uisite of carbon. These calculations
indicate the value of mixed diet.

With this he cut his team with his
