For the Commercial. ROSA LEE. BY DUDLEY WILLIAMS. In Beauty's realm she sweetly dwells; 'Twere joy her lovely form to see; Her tender lips, like fairy bells, Can raise the twig or bend the tree. Yet ’tis not Beauty’s charm alone, That strikes the trembling keys of love; Nor music from a rosy throne, That bends a seraph’s ear above. Within her heart, there throbs a smile For eyes ablaze with pleasure’s glow— A tear of pity for the vile— Of sympathy for grief or woe. Within its flesh-ribbed prison cell— The ideal of her soul is bound; Loves mighty power, what mind can tell ? It makes a monarch kiss the ground. Sweet vision I Wingless, angel form— Fain would I pledge my life to thee; A shelter through Life’s wintry storm — A loving heart for Rosa Lee. JRoitie Markets.

'’tfij HAVE YOU TRIED JURUBEBA ARE YOU Weak, Nervous, or Debilitated? ARE YOU SO LANGUID that any exertion requires more of an iffortthan you feel capable of making ? Then try JUKUBEBA, the wonderful tonic and invigorator, which acts so beneficially on the se cretive organs as to impait vigor to all the vital forces. It is no alcoholic appetizer, which stimulates for a short time, only to let the sufferer tall to a lower depth of misery, but it is a vegetable tonic acting di rectly on the liver and spleen. It regulates the Bowels, quiets the nerves, and gives sueh a healthy tone lo the whole system as to soon make the invalid feellikcanew person. Its operation is hot violent, but is character ized by great gentleness; the patient experiences no sudden change, no marked results, but gradu ally his troubles “Fold their tents, like the Arabs, And silently steal away.” This is no new aud untried discovery, but has been long used with wonderful remedial results, and is pronounced by the highest medical author ities, “the most powerful tonic and alterative known.” Ask your Druggist for it.
