THE vESPER LAND.

When evening bells are blending
Their vespers with the breeze,
Cook Ger the waste amending
OF airy summer seas,
And there tlou'lt see, dim, faint and IA,
Unbounded save by evenings star.
The isles that are not, yet that are.
The sweet Hesperides.
Here cloudy waves beat golden.
Along the rudy shore.
Here bards and heroes oiden
Dwell on forevermore.
Here dawn brings night, and night brings
morn,
But Death sounds not his hunters horn,
Nor men of life and love are shorn.
Nor sorrow strides before.
And sounds come ever winging
Across the misty miles,
Of clear-voiced poets singing
The praises of the isles,
But none may sing with them, tits said,
Save he whose lips have sometime shed
a song to live when lips are dead,
And dead their songs and smiles.
Nor thought to cease or rest
To gain the goal, God-given,
Valhalla of the west.
But still 1 strive, and still 1 fail,
Yet, yet, my heart, fear not, nor fan,
One day they'll cry to thee: "All hall"
Those spirits of the blest.

to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

slight change. The first thing noted
was tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some life left in his helpless body.
Next came a little feeling in his limbs.

The difhdent young man wanted to pro-

did not know how to go about it. He read
books on the subject, and sought informa-
ton from men who had experience; and
while the theories were admirable, in every
instance he found that the practice thereof
was different thing. He was walking with
her one evening, thinking over these things,
when her shoe became united. She stuck
out her pretty little foot with smile, and
looked down at it. He fell on his knees to
tie the lace. Then he walked on with hex.

time it happened he was ready as before.
