READING THE MILESTONE.
I stopped to read the Milestone here,
A laggard school-boy, long ago;
1 came not far —my home was near-
But oh, how far I longed to go!
Behold a number and a name—
A Anger, Westward, cut in stone;
The vision of a city came,
Across the dust and distance shown.
Around me lay the farms asleep
In hazes of autumnal air,
And sounds that quiet loves to keep
Were heard, and heard not, everywhere.
I read the Milestone, day by day; ,
I yearned to cross the barren bound,-
To know the golden Far-away,
To walk the new Enchanted Ground!
— Don. Piatt

the warm weather comes on, create an appetite and
promote healthy digestion. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is
the most popular and successful Spring Medl ine.

peculiar merit.
“For five years I was sick every sprint, hut last
year took Rood’s Sarsaparilla and have not seen a
sick day since." G. W. Sloan, Milton, Mass.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
"For n Amt class spring medicine my wife nml I
both think very highly of Hood’s Sirsaparilla.
We both took It last spring. It did us a great deal
of good and wo felt better through the hot weather
than ever before. It cured my wife of sick head
ache, from which she has suffered a great deal, aud
relieved me ofadUsy, tired feeling. I think every
one ought to take something to purify the blood
before the hot weather comes on. and wo shall cer
tainly take Hood’s garsaparll a this spring.” J. H.
