Only of Me.
She never grace * crowded balU ,
White fevered wa'tzm ' thrill ;
She hevcr dreams of nmblo hall *
And VA < calii at her will ;
She dances where the waterfalls
Are leaping wild and frre ,
Then sinks to Mcep In cottage walls ,
And only dreams of me ,
She never glanres down the iitreel
From phaeton or coupe ,
She does not know the mode to greet
A lover at the tilayi
1 hit from the loaded hay my awcet
3 ! Oft tees the swallawn * oar ,
And well * he know * and flies to meet
My footstep * nt the door ,
'Ho let the statesmen pas * me by
And win the noisy game ,
And let the soldier's banner fly
Acro-fl tlio road to fame.
Wealth , too , may go ; for what care I
* ? Beneath this dome of blue ,
If I can gare In Maggie' * eye
And know the loves me true ?

An effort is now being mn < lo to enlarge

In Industrial calling at Huntsville , Aln-

on the line that will bo uursaod in the high

roatcd a tendency of the population to

The Secret
of the universal success of
Brown's Iron Bitters is sim
ply this : It is the best Iron
preparation ever made ; is
compounded on thoroughly
scientific , chemical and
medicinal principles , and
does just what is claimed for
it no more and no less.
By thorough .and rapid
assimilation with the blood ,
it reaches every part of the
system , healing , purifying
and strengthening. Com
mencing at the foundation
it builds up and restores lost
health in no other way can
lasting benefit be obtained.
