woman's Dream.

When woman really loves a man
she pictures to herself the day when
he will come to her with some great
grief and sob with his head in her lap
until he arises comforted and strong.

Rural Retreat times. [volume] (Rural Retreat, Va.) 1892-1918, 1903-02-27

Away and away see them wind whenever
| shut my eyes,
Like delicate countless threads to bind our
manifold destinies,
For over the circling world they go where
dominant man has gone,
And the human tide in its ebb and flow
the way of its will has worn.
The rigid highways straightly pass by the
fields unreconciled,
But the wanton path over dimpling grass
escapes like joyous child;
For nature tenderly decks the way Chat
leads to her secret heart
As a mother would tempt her babe essay
the first few steps apart.
And the footpaths dance over hilltops cool,
dividing the golden broom,
Lovingly nearing the peaceful pool and the
humming clover bloom.
Fern-waves ceaving in woodland deeps
with the thrush and the veere
near)
Where the lovely figue of the wild flowers
keeps it's rhythm thro out the year.
Rural Retreat times. [volume] (Rural Retreat, Va.) 1892-1918, 1903-02-27

They are always to the ferry, the forge,
the mill, or the changing factory s
gate,
Or the market town up over the hill. or
the fields where the mich cows wait;
For under the joy that moves as so, like an
innocent child's at play,
Are the human need and the human woe
that walk in the paths to-day.
Bird and blossom have made them sweet
scent of the fragrant soil
But each was carved by the patient feet OF
age-long daily toll
Like leveled lances point the rays as the
bent forms come or go,
Nor heed the hush of the dawning days
nor the peace of the evening glow.
Little can nature, mother dear, with her
softest vile or play,
The listless brow of the toiler cheer who
has wrought from break Of day.
But we, we follow the pleasant way oil
pains we have never borne,
Reaping the joy Of the footpaths gray that
labor's feet have worn.
The Criterion.

 Deans Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills from common backache to dan- gerous diabetes.
 A. T. Mtenour, owner of the wood yard at 125 East Cork Street, Win chester, Va, says: Ever since l had La Grippe I have been sufferer themselves apparent in racking pains through the region of the kid neys and across the small of my back. The pains were always se- were, and sometimes so sharp and biting that they compelled me to take to my bed. The kidney secre- tions furnished further evidence of disorders. They were off color, ir- regular, and painful of passage. Added to this there was an annoying weakness. The newspaper advertise ments of Doan's Kidney Pills attract. ed my attention, and l procured box of that remedy at Franck Baker & Sons drug store. The relief l eX- perienced was magical. The pills lifted me from my bed of sickness, placed me on my feet, and made me a well man. I can work as well as ever. Doan's Kidney Pills, I believe, saved my life. They are great remedy to stop kidney troubles re- sulting from colds"

COMMUNING WITH NATIJRF

Close beside the sparkling brook whose silvery waters danced merrily in tbe ll1n7 light and rippled joyously over the gojfen sands, they sat in silence George and Laura drinking in the glorious beauty of the ,ns' tic scene and communing with nature in one of her chosen shrines.

 Hon. H. w. Ogden, Congressman from ington, D. C., says the following of Pe- runa, the national catarrh remedy:
Newport weekly independent., 1903-04-03

can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh remedy. Mrs. Elmer Fleming.
 Trent Cntnrrh In Spring.
 The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the favora ble weather of spring.
 As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
 Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Olii1.

THE SIGNS OF SPRING
Have Commenced to Make
Their Appearance in
Raleigh.

The signs Of spring are now beginning
to make their appearance. The farming
classes of our people are not coming to
the city much to do their trading and
are now kept busy at home breaking
ground for their crops. OF course this
causes a falling off of trade among a
certain class of merchants. The plant
inG of garden spots in the city has COM
menced and you can already see a few
onion sprouts and other early vegetables
peeping from under the ground.
The spring trade has well opened up
and the millinery stores are kept busy
trimming hats for the bright-eyed
damsels to come out looking bright and
lovely on a Easter morn. The old rustic
seats in the capitol have been moved to
their accustomed places and already the
frequent visitors to that RENDEZVOUS have
begun to congregate and pass an after
noon in pleasant conversation with each
other.
The chain to the capitol well is being
often heard to rattle as the thirsty man
draws up a bucket of pure we'll water to
quench his thirst.
The nurses rolling the baby carriages
have begun to occupy the parks.
You can see young men come out with
freshly creased pants carrying with them
the scent of gasoline, showing plainly
before breakfast exercise with the
fat iron over a pair of last years trous
ers.
The blue grass lawns are beginning to
have a fresh appearance and fruit trees
arc beginning to bloom.
Many fishing parties have already been
to the ponds and returned with bounti-
full supply of the finny tribe consisting of
white perch and other varieties.
These are only a few reminders of
Gentle Spring" which has taken hold
in Raleigh but many others are in evil
dence. such as that tired feeling so COM
mon among certain classes.
