CROSSING THE DELAWARE.
Washington sat that night in the PROV
Among his soldiers brave,
On river filed with ice and snow,
And rocked by the wind and wave.
But the heroes thoughts were wandering
Away to the distant shore,
Where the enemies lights were cleaning
Through the fog, and the tempest's roar.
Then he turned his eye to his comrades,
And tears fell on his hand
AS he noticed their tattered garments
And felt how small were the band.

it, but will tend to aggravate rather than
remedy the ailment. If you are bilious,
dyspeptic, liver torpid, bowels constipated, !,
yellow with jaundice, or have sick head
ache, cure yourself with Baxter's Mandrake
Bitters, and then eat reasonably of whole
some food and enjoy it. After you are
cured an occasional dose of Baxter's Man.
drake Bltters will keep you well. Price %
cents per bottle, also in tablets same price.
