A VALENTINE.'I
! •
Go. Valentine. I do not darei
To go my myself and speak . __^
The word which, like the morning air.
Shall tinge this Rose’s cheek.
And when you see the scarlet tint > ^
Across her features climb,
Betraying in a blush a hint
How she accepts my rhyme.
Know this: if I her heart have won,
Her lips shall part and tell;
If I have lost, your day is done—-
A swift match, and farewell.
Go, then, and while I madly hunt
In love’s devouring fire, 1 i
1 live if she one word return^
* )r else, like you, expire.
—Frank 1>. Sherman, in Harper's.

A Paris masher, in hard luck, entered

recognized him and whispered in a tone
of surprise: “Can Monsieur think of

“Well,” said the discomfited dude,
“You’re here, ain’t you?” “Very true,”
the waiter said, with an air of pride,
“but I never dine here.”
The Most Widely Read Author.
The author whose books have the
largest sales in the United States is a
Bt. Louisian, and the chances are that
there are not 100 people in the city who
have ever heard of him, His work is
uot that of a genius. It is hack work,
pure and simple, but he makes more
money than Howell, James, Mrs. Bur¬
nett or any other American author or
authoress. This author’s name is J. W.
Kuell, and one of his books has been sold
to tlie extent of 1,000,000 copies. The
books he has written are never heard of
in the literary world; the literary review¬
ers pay no attention to them. They are
sold by subscription all over the coun-
|ry. ,.iat is They wisely are calculated usually bound to sell in the a book styl«
where the contents certainly would not.

but he hasn't enriched literaturee to any

Value of Earth Worms.
The weight of earth worms bring to the
surface yearly is enormous. Darwin esti¬
mated that worms, by swallowing earth
for the sake of the vegetable matter it
contains and forming castings, bring to
the surface as much as ten tons* of earth
per annum on an acre. Worms are great
promoters of vegetation by boring, per-
foiatino- and loosening the soil, and ren¬
dering it pervious to rains and the fibres
of plants, by drawing straws and stalks
of leaves and twigs into it, and, most of
all, by throwing up such infinite numbers
of lumps of earth called worm casts,
which form a fine manure for grain and
grass. The earth without worms would
soon become cold, hard-bound, void of
fermentation and consequently sterile;
this has occurred in many cases where the
worms have been either accidentally or
intentionally destroyed, and tjie fertility
of the soil thus lost has only been re¬
stored when the worms had again col¬
lected auu resumed their fertilizing work.
The Alexandria Library.
A Vienna journal says that the story of
the burning of the Alexandria library by
the Mohammedan conqueror is a myth,
and not an historical fact. The state-
ment thus appears: “The investigation
of the famous Fayum collection of Egyp¬
tian manuscripts, bought by Archduke
Rainer, and deposited in the Imperial
Library, Vienna, has been progressing for
some two or three years. The work has
been rich in important results, including
the discovery, by incontrovertible evi¬
dence, that the story of the destruction
of the Alexandria library is a fable.”
$2,500 Reward for n I.ost Cat.
The equivilent in English money of London $2,500
was once offered by, an old lady m
for the return of a favorite cat which had
strayed or been stolen. People called her a
“crank,” and perhaps she was. It is unfortu¬
nate that one of the gentle sex should ever
gain this title, yet ninny do. It is, however,
frequently not their fault. Often functional
derangements will apparently change such a suf¬ wo¬
man’s entire nature. Don’t blame
ferers if they are “cranky,” but tell them to
use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
is an infallible remedy for “female weak¬
nesses.” It will soon restore them to their
normal condition. It is Warranted to give
satisfaction in every case, or money paid for
it will be r eturn ed.

That Tired Feeling
Has never been more prevalent and more prostrat¬
ing than now. The winter has been mild and un-
bealtbful, influenza epidemic and fevers have visited
uearly all our homes, leaving about everybody in a
weak, tired-out, languid condition. The usefulness
of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is thus made greater than
ever, for it is absolutely unequalled as a bullding-up,
strengthening medicine. If you have never taken
Hood's Sarsaparilla trj- it and you will realise Us re-
cuperativa powers.
Tired Feeling
“My health was very poor last spring and seeing
an advertisement of Hood’s Sarsaparilla I thought I
would try it. It has worked wonders for me as It
has built my system up. I have taken four bottles
and am on tbe fifth. 1 recommend It to my acquaint¬
ances.” John Matthews, Oswego, N. V.
“I was very much run down in health, had no
strength nnd no Inclination to do anything. I have
been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla and that tired feel¬
ing has left me, my appetite has returned, I am like
a new man.” C hai ncey Latham, North Columbus,

The marked benefit which people In run down or

which there must follow a reaction of greate'V
weakness than before, but possessing just those
elements which the system needs and readily seizes.

A BAD SPELL.
A merchant’s clerk wrote a check for forty dollars, and spelled the numerical
adjective “ f-o-u-r-t-y.” His employer directed his attention to the error, with
the remark, “ You seem to have had a bad spell this morning.” To which the clerk
replied, “Sure enough ; I’ve left out the “g-h.” Let us hope the clerk will still
further amend his orthography, meanwhile, if anybody is suffering from a “ bad
spell ” of headache, superinduced by constipation, over-eating or other indiscre¬
tion, let that person ask his druggist for Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
They are entirely vegetable in composition, and are prompt and effective In
action. They are specific in all derangemeuts of the liver, stomach and bowels.
They are strongly cathartic or mildly laxative according to size of dose. Un¬
equaled as a Liver Pill. Smallest, cheapest, easiest to take. One tiny, Sugar-
coated Pellet a dose.
