GladneSS Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is,
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tho
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, 1axatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with tho
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

NEGLECT OF TAYLOR.
Philadelphia and the State Itself Ignored
the Gifted Man of Letters.

Philadelphia and the State Itself Ignored
the Gifted Man of Letters
There is no character that shows
the Pennsylvania feeling SO well as
Bayard Taylor. He was a thorough
son of the soil His German and
Quaker ancestors had been Pennsyl-
vanian for many generations He al
ways felt that he belonged 10 the state
He tried to identify himself with it as
much as he could and as much as it
would let him He built himself a
home in his native valley and tried his
best to live there. He wrote novels
and ballads to describe its scenes. But
his difficulty was not merely that he
was forced to say that there was a
tyranny OF public sentiment there
which was against him. His real diff
fculties were still larger. The whole
state rejected him. Its chief city,
Philadelphia, would have nothing to
do with him. 1t seemed extraordinary
that, after the state had produced its
first great poet and its first really
gifted man of letters, of whom any
commonwealth might be proud, the
state and the city should unite in kick
ing him out of doors.
Fortunately for these children who
are so summarily elected, they are
usually of sufficient bility to be val
ued by other communities. Taylor
was of loyal and honorabl nature
He felt that he belonged to his old
home and was always trying to get
back But, undesired and appreciated
by his native state he sought sympa-
thy abroad Germany honored him
and he received more encouragement
and regard in a few years on the
Rhine than he received in his whole
life on the Delaware. New York
adopted him as her son. When he was
appointed minister to Berlin Pennsyl-
vania and Philadelphia We're silent
but New York gave him a banquet.
When his dead body was brought home
from Germany New York received him
and he lay in state, with a guard of
honor. in her city hall When he was
carried to kennett square to be buried
his native state was again silent and
seemed to be unaware that she was
receiving him into her soil. Sydney
