The Same...
 l Old Sarsaparilla.

That's Ayers. The same old sarsaparilla as it was made and
 sold by Dr. J. c. Aver 60 gears
 ago. In the laboratory it is different. There modern appli- , ances lend speed to skill and experience. But the sarsapa- rilla is the same old sarsaparilla ! that made the record-50 gears Of cures. Why don't we better it9 We'll, we're much in the condition of the Bishop and the raspberry: Doubtless, " he said, "God might have made better berry. But doubtless, also, He never did. ]" Why don't we better the sarsaparilla? We can't. We are using the san,e old pEant that cured the Indians and the Spaniards. It has not been bettered. Aud since sce make sarsaparilla com ! pound out of sarsaparilla plant, we see no way of improvement. Of course, if we were making ! some secret chemical compound we might =. But we're not. We're making the same old sar- } saparil1a to cure the same old diseases. You can tell it's the same old sarsaparitlG be- \ cause it works the some old { cures. It's the sovereign blood { purifier, and-it's Ayers.

Frank Putnam,

There was Molly, who started with me
On capital shockingly small;
Helen came. we divided by three,
And by four with the coming Of Paul.
We have hopes, as what mortal has not?
OF delights to be finally won.
We're expecting to better our lot"
As so many a mortal has done.
We have youth. Of all riches the best;
We have love, aud are grateful for that
Yet we'ra humanity hoping To test
Something finer than Poverty iat.
II we were not, the sense of tho age
Would accuse us of tagging behind;
So I'm writing this whimsical page
10 assure you we bear 1t in mind.
Yea, we're tryingihough oft we forget
To remember the duty of man
Is to Train with the dressiest set
And TO catch every dollar he can.
But withal, when the days in the bud,
And the udor of Springs in the air,
There's spirit Of bliss i'll the blood,
And our world IS exceedingly fair.
In the street it is restfu and still
Ere the rattleof traffic begins;
Ills the time when the mnsterfnl will
Is asleep and at peace with its sins.
From the view in the highway turn
To the sight of my babies asleep;
| They have many lesson to learn,
They have many duty to keep.
| As write, tile miraculous sun
Has arisen from out of the seas

For e.merces past seasons bcgat:
Though Tomorrow may prove TO he sad,
