1t may not be that my Dark shall drift
In Il tranquil Zone of Gains,
Perchance shall hear the wild storms lift
Their soul-inspiring psalms.
1t may not be that my feet shall find
The rose-lined path of life.
Perchance shall have to be resigned
To struggles and to strife.
1t may not be that my lot shall prove
Exempt from tolls and tears.
Perchance shall journey in the grove
OF aforementioned years.
However it be, my faith is broad,
And I'll learn to not repine,
For do believe the will of God
Is wiser far than mine.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

Its excellence is due to its presenting

beneficial properties of perfect lax-
