several specific rheumatism cures without
being benefited. About one year and six
months ago he read in this paper of a
case somewhat similar to his which was
cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some

the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi-

trouble and enjoys better health than he
he has had since his boyhood.

GOBLETS AND GLASSES AND MUGS.
Talk not of goblets made Of gold
In Duke of Alya's reign;
Nor how your fathers lorded them,
And Spanish mobiles boarded them
When reckless rovers boarded them
With lust for golden gain!
They re only put up there for show,
SO cease you to explain.
Your ancestors oft caught for them
The deuce from those who sought 10
Who cursed and swore and fought 70
Upon the Spanish Main!
And pouf! for all your famous glasses
Lined on the Sideboard there!
Twas Fashion who first vaunted them,
At once her fools all wanted them,
In glass shops hourly haunted them
To find some cut more rare!
Though champagne fill them to the br1m,
They're less to me, l swear,
Than those poor fools who keep DER them
A nightly vigil; weep DER them,
And, lastly, fall asleep DER them,
Beneath some dinner chair!
So no! my Gretchen, buxom lass,
| want no tricky wine,
But amber nectar cling to me,
Whose rich bouquet shall bring to me,
Whose spirit-lcyc will sing to me
From out the mug divine!
So here's your toll-a kiss-away,
You Hebe from the Rhine!
No gOblet'S gold means cheer to me,
Let no cut glass get near to me!
Go, Gretchen, haste the beer to me,
And put it in the stein!

Elector John Cicero, who fourished tow
ard the end of the Fifteenth century, each
ruler has, when possible before dissolu-
