THE HOME CIRCLE
Come Into the Garden, Maud.*

Come into the garden, MAUD,
For the black bat, night, has flown!
Come into the garden, Maud,
/ am here at the gate alone;
And the ~woodbine spices are waited
abroad,
And the musk of the roses blown.
For a breeze of morning moves,
And the planet of Love is on high,
Beginning to faint in the light that
she loves,
On a bed of dafodil sky;
To faint in the light of the sun that
she loves,
To faint in its light, and to die.
All night have the roses heard
The flute, violin, bassoon;
All night has the easement jessamine
stirred
To the dancers dancing in tune,
Till a silence fell with the waking
bird,
And a hush with the setting moon.
I said to the lily, "There is but one
With whom she has heart to be gay.
When will the dancers leave her
alone?
She is weary of dance and play"
Now half to the setting moon are
gone,
And half to the rising day;
Low on the sand and loud on the
stone
The last wheel echoes away.
I said to the rose, "The brief night
goes
In babble and revel and wine.
Oh, young lord-lover, what signs are
those
For one that will v be thine?
But mine, but NINE" so I sware to
the rose,
"For ever and ever mine"
And the soul of the rose went into
my blood,
As the music clashed in the hall;
And long by the garden lake I stood,
For I heard your rfvulet fall
From the lake to the meadow and on
to the wood,
Our wood, that is dearer than all;
From the meadow your walks have
left so sweet
That, whenever a March-wind
signs,
He sets the jewel-print of your feet,
In ~violets as blue as your eyes,
To the woody hollows in which we
meet,
And the valleys of Paradise.
The slender acacia would not shake
One long milk-bloom on the tree;
The white lake-blossom fell into the
lake,
As the pimpernel dozed on the lea;
But the rose was awake all night for
your sake,
Knowing your promise to me;
And the lilies and roses we're all
awake,
They sighed for the dawn and
thee.
Queen rose of the rosebud garden of
girls,
Come hither.! the dances are done;
In gloss of satin and glimmer of
pearls,
Queen lily and rose in one;
Shine out, little head, summing over
with curls,
To the flowers, and be their sun.

ONLY A SUGGESTION,
But 1t Has Proven of Interest and
 Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that IL one wishes to become feshy and plump 1t can only result from the 1000 we eat and digest and that food should be al- luminous or flesh forming food. like eggs. beefsteak, and cereals; in other words inc kinds of food that make flesh are the foods which form the greater part of our daily bills of fare.
 But the trouble is that while we eat enough and generally too much. the stom- ach. from abuse and overwork. does not properly digest and assimilate 1t, which Is the reason so many people remain thin and under weight; the digestive or gans do not completely digest the food forming beefsteak and eggs and similar wholesome food
 There are thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics. although they may have no particular pain or in- convenience from their stomachs.
 If such persons would lay their pred iudices aside and make regular prac- flee of taking after each meal one or two of stuart's Dypepsia Tablets the food would be quickly and thoroughly digest ed because these tablets contain the na- tural peptones and diatase which every weak stomach lacks. and by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled to reach it's natural tone and vigor.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of flesh forming food, meat eggs, bread and potatoes, and this Is the req son they so quickly build up, strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspeptic men, wo- men and children.
 Invaids and children. even the most delicate, use them with marked benefit as they contain no strong, irritating drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful in- gredient
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubles because it Is the most reasonable and scientific of modern medicines.
 every druggist in the United States and Canada as well as in Great Britain, at 50 cents for complete treatment.
 Nothing further is required to cure any stomach trouble or to make thin, nervous dyspeptic people. strong. plump and well.
