When Friendship or Love our sympathies move.
When Truth in a glance should appear,
The lips may beguile with a dimple or smile.
But the tost of affection's a tear.
Too oft is a smile but the hypot rite's wile
To mask detestation or fear;
Give me the soft sigh, whilst the soul-telling eye
Is dimm'd for a time with a tear.
Mild charity's glow, to u* mortals below,
Shows the soul from barbarity clear;
Compassion will melt when' this virtue is fe't,
And its dew is diffused in a Tear.
The man doom'd to sail with the blast of the sale,
Through billows Atlantic to steer,
As he bends o'er the wave which mav soon be hi? grave,
The green sparkles bright with a TVar.
The soldier brave* death for a fanciful wreath
In Glory's romantic career;
But he raises the foe when in battle laid low,
And bathes every wound with a Tear.
If with high-bounding pride he return to his bride,
Renouncing the gore-criiuson'd spear,
All his toils are repaid, when embiacing the maid,
From her eyelid he kisses the Tear.
Sweet scene of my youth! seat of Friendship and Truth,*
Where love chased each fast-fleeting year,
Loth to leave thee, I mourn'd, for a lust look I turn'd,
But thy spire was scarce seen through a Tear.
Though my vows I can pour to my Mary no more,
My Mary to love once so dear,
In the shade of her bower I remember the hour
She rewarded those vows with a Tear.
By another possest, may she live ever blest!
Her name still my heart must revere:
With a sigh I resign what I once thought was mtne, ,
And forgive her deceit with a tear. ]
Ye friends of my heart, ere from you I depart, i
This hope to my breast is most near: ,
If again we shall meet in this rural retreat.
May we meet, as we part, with a Tear.
When my soul wings her flight to the regions of night, ,
And my corse shall recline on its bier,
As ye pass by the tomb where my ashes consume,
Oh! moisten their dust with a Tear.
May no marble bestow the splendor of woe,
Which the children of vanity rear;
No fiction of fame shall blazon my name,
All I ask—all I wish—is a Tear.

THE BEST PRESCRIPTION IS
Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The formula is plainly printed on every bottle—hence yott
know just what you arc taking when you take Grove's. Imitators
do not advertise their formula knowing that you would not buy
their medicine it you knew what it contained. Grove's contains
Iron and Quinine put up in corrcct proportions and is in a Tasteless
form. The I ron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives the
malaria out of the system. Any reliable druggist will tell you that
Grove's is the Original and that all other so-called Tasteless
Chill Tonics are imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows
that Grove's is superior to all others in every respect. You
are not experimenting when you take Grove's—its superiority
and excellence having long been established. Grove s ist the
only Chill Cure sold throughout the entire malarial sections of
the United States. No Cure, No Pay. Pricc, 50c.
