New Year.

I saw on the hills of the morning
The form of the New Year arise;
He stood like a statue adjoining
The world with a background of skies
There were courage and grace in his
beautiful face,
And hope in his glorious eyes.
Il come from Times boundless forever,
He said with Il voice like song.
Il come as a friend to endeavor.
L come as foe to all wrong;
To the sad and afraid | bring promise of
aid.
And the weak l will grid and make
strong.
Il bring you more blessings than terrors.
| bring you more sunlight than gloom.
I tear out your page of old errors,
And hide them away in Time s tomb.
[ reach you clean hands, and lead on to
the lands
Where the lilies of peace are in bloom :

In the days of wild cat money in the

The very name of Oliver Ames d. Son, was
synonym for honesty. 1t was current all

On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster Is tho universal standard external
remedy. To say it is 'good" plaster does
not describe it 10 is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter Of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have No good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds, lumbago.
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
ETC., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in

She has no strength for household cares,
no delight i'll social pleasure. She sits
"perked up in a clustering grief wearing
a golden sorrow" She is a wife and
mother. But she has no happiness in
either relation. She knows her husband $
life is set i'll tune and time to the minor
music of her own misery. If her child

but one answer2
Such a woman can get well if she will.
