One never knows what will happen Before the day is done, Before the night ia ended, Or the morrow has begun. One never knows of a heartache, Or a sorrow known as death, Is waiting to olaim our loved onea And eaves as alone bereft. If we should know ooul. 1 take a glimpse Ul thintrs as they will be, . And nee our life before us stretoh, A picture for to see; Then turn a page, and see tbe grief, And sorrow written there, I'm sure we would not want to bide, And all our troubles bear. One never knows how soon our smiles Will all be changed to tears, As swift and silently the days Are gliding into years. One never knows and well it is That we should never know What is before ua ere our life Is ended here below. -S. I. 8.

Paine's Celery Compound the One Spring Reme dy That Physicians Prescribe It, erence to Anything Else in the Spring, Blood, Feeds the Brain, and Strengthens Paine'a celery oomponnd ia not a patent medioine. No clues of professional men are more conservative, more careful of giving ad vioe, or more painstaking in finding ont tbe real fact of a oase than physicians.

Paine' oelery oomponnd ia prepared, aa they all well know, from the formula of the foremost physician ol this oentury , Prof. Edward E. Pbelpa, M. D., LL. I)., of Dartmouth medical enhool.
