AN OLD SWEETHEART,
Somebody said, in tlie crowd last eve.
That you were married, or soon to be.
I have not thought of you, I believe,
Since last we parted; let me see—
Four long summers have passed since
Hien—
Each has been pleasant in its way;
And you were but one of a dozen men
Who have played the suitor a summer
day.
But nevertheless when I heard your name
Coupled with some one’s—not my own—
There burned in my bosom a sudden flame
That carried me back to the dear days
flown.
I was sitting again by the laughing brpok,
With you at my feet., and the sky above.
And my heart was fluttering under your
look—
The unmistakable look of love.
Again your breath, like a south wind,
fanned
My cheek where the blushes came and
went.
And tlie tender clasp of your strong, warm
hand
Sudden thrills through my being sent.
Again you were mine by love’s own right—
Mine forever by love’s decree;
So for a moment It seemed last night
When somebody mentioned your name to
me.
Just for the moment T thought you mine, j
Loving me, wooing me. as of old.
Ah! does I lie link of love divine
Ijoosen ever and lone its hold—
Lise it so that the heart goes free—
Free as the birds in airy flight?
These were the thoughts that came to me i
When somebody mentioned your name j
last night.”

Motherhood
M OTHERHOOD is the reward nature
bestows upon healthy womanhood.
Women whose vitality has been sapped
by disease cannot safely give birth to chil
dren. In pregnancy ami in childbirth weak
ness of the mother is revealed in the pain
and agony she suffers.
This great medicine drives out every ves
tige of inflammation and weakness, and
gives tone and strength to the delicate or
gans which mature the child. The pains of
pregnancy are banished by Wine of Cardui, and mis
carriages, which blast so many fond mother's hopes,
are prevented. Flooding, which so often occurs alter
childbirth, is corrected when Wine of Cardui is used during pregnancy.
Wine of Cardui babies are healthy babies, because, during the
months of pregnancy, the mother is able to give them necessary vitality
an< * * Wi^*these facts presented to American women no expectant
mother should be satisfied without the re-inforcement that Wine of Cardui
will give her. Every mother should be able to treat herself in her home
with this valuable medicine. . x
Wine of Cardui can be secured from any druggist at »1.00 a bottle.
Polycarp, N. C., Jan. 11,1902.

if frank will seem harsh. The style is
inflated and wordy—adjectives and ad

There is much unnecessary repetition;
the grammar is not always good—such ex
pressions as “between he and I” being
used; also “The woman whom I thought
was cold as ”kn icicle.” It should be
between him and me, between being a
preposition governing the two objective
case pronouns. In the other sentence

These guides explain the detailed and
scientific work of the skilled chemists
and just how and of what the modern
"Datent medicine” is made.
To every visitor is also explained tne
system by which every user of Doctor
Pierce's medicines receives individual
care from one or more specialists.

Oh, friends of tlie gentle voice.
Came to you the call of the Father;

SOME PUZZLING QUESTIONS FOR

I am a new subscriber of Sunny South,
and' deeply interested in the discussions i
by Urian and Otto Jem. I hope Otto ;
Jem will continue writing, and tell us I
"what become of the soul.’’
Like Urian, I was for years among the 1
list of those of inquiry and unrest. Read
works on metaphysics, science and phi
losophy. Will Urian please state where
can be gotten Joy Hudson’s “Law of
Psychic Phenomena.” Will Urian and
Otto Jem give their opinion of a brilliant
mind becoming a blank, such as Lonely
Idler wrote of?

Indorse the views expressed by an old
diplomatist and man of the world, who
advised would-be Benedicts in this
fashion.
"Never marry a charming or pretty
woman; admire her from a distance if
you like, but do not tie her to you’ by
the bonds of matrimony. Not that she
would cease to be charming after mar
riage, but her charms would fail to inter
est you greatly when you saw them every
day, and her smiles, her wit, and her
dainty dresses would eventually go to
the amusement of others.”
What men feest like in women is an
amiable sweet disposition, and a clinging
dependence on the man they love—a
sweet, low voice, an indefinable womanly
modesty which shrinks from notoriety
and most particularly a good, cheerful
temper. These may not attract a nd

"Sara, why don’t you fill this thing up?

"Like it? Good gracious. William. I
think it is the prettiest thing I evet*

Time went by and ma’s present—to pa’s
disgust—still remathed unused. One aft

company, and I heard her say:
“Ladies, William has given me a hand

They all sailed out with silks rattling
and feathers bobbing, and exclaimed and
praised the sideboard to ma's content.
