Henry Clay's Great VaIedictory.

John F. Coye writes of Henry Clay's
farewell to the Senate in the September
Ladies Home Journal, regarding it as
the most dramatic event ever witnessed
in the United States Senate. Almost
from the opening words of the famous
valedic:ory the vast assemblage of peo-
pie were in tears, and the "Great Com
moner" was frequently interrupted by
the sobs of his auditors "The scene was
indeed impressive as Mr.. Clay pro-
nounced the concluding words Of his
farewell to public life," says Mr..
Coyle. "He stood for moment after in
reverential attitude, while all about him
strong men, swayed by the magnetic
power of the great orator, wept in
silence. The hushed suspense OF intense
feeling and attention pervaded the
crowded assemblage as the famous
statesman, with lowering eyes. resumed
his seat. For several moments the
silence was unbroken; senator's sat as
if in the shadow of some impending
calamity; men of all parties seemed
equally overcome by the pathos and
majesty OF the great statesman's fare
WE'LL
"As Mr.. Clay rose to leave the cham
Der after adjournment, which directly
followed his address, and after he had
said farewell to all the other senator's,
he encountered Mr.. Calhoun. The eyes
of the whole assemblage were fixed on
these two old friends and old political
antagonists. There was pause in the
demonstration which awaited Mr.. Clay
the moment Of suspended anticipation
was almost painful. For five years they
had been estrangtd, and the only words
which had passed between them had
been those harshly spoken in debate.
But now, as they met, the old time came
over them. They remembered only the
political partnership OF twenty years
standing. The intervening differences
which had chilled their hearts toward
each other were forgotten. The tears
sprang TO their eyes. They shook each
other cordially by the hand, interchanged
God bless you and parted. The re
leased suspense which awaited this tear
full scene found vent in shouts and cheers
which were taken up by the crowds out
side the Senate chamber, expecting Mr.
Clays appearance. He was surrounded
by the waiting thousands on his way to
his carriage, and throngs followed him
even to his hotel"

The Poster Girl.
lAfter The Blessed namoze,

(After THE Blessed Damozel.O
The blessed Poster girl leaned out
From pinky.purple heaven.
One eye was red and one was green;
Her bang was cut uneven;
She had three fingers on her hand,
And the hairs on her head were seven.
Her robe, ungirt from clasp to hem,
No sunfowers did adorn;
But heavy Turkish PORTER
Was very neatly worn;
And the hat that lay along her back
Was yellow like canned corn.
1t was a kind of wobbly wave
That she was standing on,
And high aloft she flung scarf
That must have weighed ton;
And she was rather tall-at least
She reached up to the sun.
She curved and writhed, and then she said
Less green of speech than blue:
Perhaps am absurd-perhaps
don't appeal to you;
But my artistic worth depends
Upon the point of view"
saw her smile. although her eyes
Were only smudgy smears;
And then she swished her swirling arms,
And wagged her gorgeous ears.
She sobbed q blue-and-green checked sob,
And wept some purple tears.

PaIne's Celery Compound Restores Health to

PaInes Celery Compound Restores Health to
COL Frank q. Noyes.
There is foolish harmful notion among
many elderly persons about the 'inevita-
BILE feebleness Of old age"
They make serious mist axe in thinking
their rheumatism or their failure in
strength an effect of old age instead of
the sluggish circulation, impure blood
and disordered nerves that are so quickly
remeded by Paine's celery compound.
Col Frank G. Moves of Nashua, N. H.,
who was department commander G. A.
r. in 1896, made no such mistake and
today he is vigorous man of 60. He
gives his carefully considered estimate of
Paine's celery compound in the following
letter:
Gentlemen-Several months ago friend
gave me bottle of Paines celery COM
pound tor my personal use. l was not
then, and had not for some time prior
been in my customary vigor. The cause
may have been that | had reached and
was passing the climacteric of mans life,
which comes frequently after one arrives
at the age OF 60. At all events, | felt
stronger and more vigorous alter had
used for a while this compound. Conse-
quently have taken it regularly since
then, and have consumed six or eight
bottles oft. | am glad to say that, so
far as can judge, l am as we'll as ever,
strong and vigorous.
Sincerely,
FRANK G. MOVES.
The disheartening part of every vaca-
ton is that it's good effects do not last.
The improved appetite and the encour-
ing gain in weight disappear as rapidly
as the glow and tan from the cheeks. A
vacation, with its changed scene and air,
is undoubtedly good thing. but it won't
cure rheumatism, neuralgia, heart
trouble, dyspepsia, nor any OF those dis
eases that are deeply seated in the system.
Paine's celery compound will do what
no mere rest or vacation can do.
A thoroughly WORKOUT, "unstrung"
nervous condition, brought on by months.
ifnot years, Of needless living, depends
for renewed health on purified blood,
regulated nerves, sound sleep and perfect
assimilation of iood-this is what Paine's
celery compound never tails to do.
Cities and towns are full of men and
women, back from their vacations, who
feel even more discouraged than when
they set out, because they find themselves
slipping back to their old, seepless, Ian
guild, nervous condition. Sitting in the
sun is a good thing as lar as it goes but
there is worldwide difference between
the sun-burned counterfeit appearance of
health and the real purifying OF the blood,
and the genuine Strengthening of the
nerves that invariably follows the use Of
Paines celery compound.
fyou have thus tar tailed to get rid OF
nervousness, sleeplessness, heart palpita-
ton, or impure blood, you have not yet
used Paine's celery compound. What
this greatest of all modern remedies has
done may be learned from any physician
of good standing or from detailed &C.
counts in the most authoritative medical
journals of the country.
No remedy in the world ever had such
an army OF enthusiastic friends as Paine S
celery compound, because no remedy ever
made so many people well.

Tarred and Feathered,

A man named Williams, 80 years old,
an ex.convict, was tarred and feathered
a few days ago at Bondville. The family
of Dwight Bowen received partial support
from the town. Williams has been very
attentive to the Bowen girls. He was
warned not to continue his visits, but he
persisted in going to the house, and
while there In the night the building was
surrounded and tour men entered.
Williams drew revolver and fired two
shots at them, but without effect. He
made fierce resistance, and the women
fought their assalants, but they were
beaten back and Williams was dragged
out of doors. stripped OF his clothing,
bedaubed with tar and feathers, carried
on rail for mile and told to leave the
town. He has attempted to have his
assailants prosecuted but thus far with
out success. Bondville is in the town of
Winhall, Bennington county.
