AS mercury will surely destroy the

ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh

POISONING THE SYSTEM.

It il through the bowels that the
body is cleansed OF impurities. Cen
stipation keeps these polsons in the
system, causing headache, dul|ness

slightly eruptlons and finally serious
illness unless remedy is applied
DeWltt's Little E,rly kisers prevent
this trouble by stimulating the liver
and promote easy, healthy action OF
the bowels. These little pills do not
act violently but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress

The Little Leaves.

The little leaves are peeping out
Where others peeped year ago,
And they will swing and sway about
While summer breezes sweetly blow.
They'll feel the patter of the rain
And gladly glisten in the sun;
They'll shade our paths and not complain
Their duties will be gladly done.
Each little leaf that struggles through
"A happy bud upon the bough
knows we'll what it is sent to do,
Ard will not wait to question how.
And other, stronger leaves will ne'er
Go greedily to tear it loose
And fiefcely crowd it out from where

How soon my heart forgot its fear!

SENTIMENTAL CONCEPTS.
Old Age.

Old Age.
The prime of life is past, and here and there
IA yagrant wrinkle sets it's stubborn seal
Upon the face, and gray locks softly steal
Their way, unnoticed, in among the halr:
Not with offense, and so to give alarm,
But with insinuating stealth unarm
The victim.
And he looks into the glass
And notes the swift encroachment OF old
age,
Yet notes it not, for seeing. still is blind
To what it means; and as the young years
pass
The burden leaves no Impress on his mind !;
Nor grim senility his thoughts engage.
Lo! it's upon him as the swift-winged bird
Doth start the hunter with its ringing note
AS from the hedge it bursts. with noisy
throat,
All unexpected;
Or as music heard
In stance, louder grows as it draws nigh.
Then louder still, and swiftly hurries by
And dies in echo. Thus old age, the foe
OF all mankind, unheralded, doth creep
Its way insidiOus and as silent go
Its further way, not unattended, so
To lull man to his last, eternal Sleep

May.

Eve heard lots of poems Of beautiful May
How fragrant the blossoms, how lovely the
Gay;
But all these queer notions I'm sure you
would pass
If you but belonged to our bontany class.
The days are not lovely. the sky is not fair,
And the leaves and flowers drive us to de-
spair:
So when May comes to US, we sigh: "Ah,
aias,i
wish l was out of this botany class"
So We toll and we labor; we dig and we
press,
And get our herbariuns all in mess:
Till the truthful opinion of each lad and
lass
Is, they ought to abolish the botany class!
So while others are writing in elegant
phrase
Of the beauties and pleasures of wonderful
Mays,
This common decision our minds does
harass:
Mays horrid." Yours truly,
