Not till Love comes in all his strength anil ter ror Can we read others’ hearts, not till then know A wide compassion for all human error Or sound the quivering depths of mortal woe. Not till wo sail with him o’er stormy oceans Have we seen tempests. Hidden in his hand He holds the keys to all the great emotions. Till he unlocks them none can understand. Not till we walk with him on lofty mountains Can we quite measure heights. And, oh, sad truth, When once we drink from his immortal foun* tains We bid farewell to the light heart of youth! Thereafter our most perfect day will borrow A dimming shadow from some dreaded night. Bo great grows joy it merges into sorrow, And evermore pain tinctures our delight. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Waiting; For the Buglo. We wait for the bugle. The night dews are cold; The limbs of the soldiers feel jaded and old; The field of our bivouac is windy and bare; There is lead in our joints; there is frost in our hair; The future i3 veiled and its fortune unknown As we lie with hushed breath till the buglo in blown. At the sound of the bugle each comrade shall spring Like an arrow released from the strain of the string. The courage, the impulse, of youth shall come baek To banish the chill of the drear bivouac, And sorrows aud losses and cares fade away When that life giving signal proclaims the new day. Though the bivouao of age may put ice in our veins. And no fiber of steel in our sinew remains; Though the comrades of yosterday's march are not here, And the sunlight seems pale, und the branches are sear; Though the sound of our cheering dies down to a moan, We shall find our lost youth when the bugle is blown. —T. W. Higginson in Atlantic Monthly. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like ijAbut there is really no tncic about it. ) can try it who has LanMlack and weak kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.

Every day strengthens the belief of emi nent physicians that impure blood is the cause of the majority of our diseases. Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy are sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. Skin Diseases.

Congressman Brantley Not Alarmed liy Fusion in This District. Brunswick, Ga., Sept. I.—Hon. W. G. Brantley reached Brunswcik to-day from a short visit to the upper part of the district. He is not at all alarmed at the fusion between the Republicans and Populists and says that all theDeni oerats will have to do is to keep their eyes open and get every one to the polls. The fusion, he thinks, would have been more effectual had the Pop ulists put out a candidate aud let the Republicans indorse him, but as it is now, tlie Populists, as whole, will not swallow the Republican. Some how, the idea of voting the Republican ticket does not seem to meet with the favor in tlie country districts that some of the leaders had hoped for, and lots of good old-time Democrats, who have strayed away from the Democratic fold, will now re turn to the party. Stale School Census. In 1893 Georgia had 604,671 chil dren of public school age. According to the census of this year there are now 653,250 children in the state between the ages of 6 and 18 years.

NUMBER H BABY’S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter Tells all about Her Troubles when Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores. “At tho,age of two mouths, my baby began to have sores break out on his right cheek. Wo used nil the external ap plications that we could think or hear of, to no avail. The 6oros spread all over ono side of his face. We consulted n physi cian and tried his medicine, and in the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous look ing soro appeared on baby’s arm. It grew worse and worse, and when he was three months old, I began giving him Hood’s Sarsaparilla. 1 alsn tbok Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle was finished, the sores were well and have never returned. He is now four years old, but he lias never had any sign of those scrofulous sores since he was cured, by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very grateful. My boy owes his good health and smooth, fair skin to this great med icine.” Mrs. S. a. Wboten, Farming ton, Delaware.
