To be a girl is 10 be in the hap
piest state possible iohumaniiy;but
girls do not know it. They are
always looking forward to some
thing, wanting something a dia
mond or a beau, flattery or a new
gown. They rather envy women
a li tie ahead of them, who have
more self-possession and are some
limes jealous of some married wo
man who flirts and makes a dash.
"I'm only a young girl," we heard
one say. "Only a young girl."
Oh! be glad of it; delight in ii!
Thank heaven every morning thai
you are a young girl. We cannot
stop time. The years will slip
through your fingers like the beads
from a broken necklace after a
while; but now they linger while
you are still a girl a girl in the
home of parents, yet in the prime
of life, with young brothers and
sisters for companions. There
will never be anything better than
this in all ihe world. There are
no skeletons in your closet, no
ghosts in your reveries. Your fu
ture is all full of hope, You can
fill in the distance as you like. You
can fancy a lover coming
to you who is perfect in all things;
l and every young man is interest-
ing; because he may possibly be
j the other half of your soul. And
every new girl may be the lifelong
friend and confidante all girls
hope for. As for beauty, the life
of a girl of seventeen thinking her
self plain as some do ! In a few
years she will look in the glass
and see those fine horizontal
on her forehead, on which
scores down our troubles, and at
the corner of her eyebrows three
little pencil marks, and a little fall
in her cheek, and a mouth that does
not smile as readily as it once did;
not an old face yet, but not a girl;
then she will realie what it was to
have a girl's face! Oh, how few the
years are ! How they whirl away!
Girlhood is gone so soon ! Bui
while you have it, envy no woman
her diamonds and laces, her car
riage or her palace, her fortune or
her admirers. While one is in
one's teens nothing else is neces
sary except to realize the fact and
thank heaven for it.

SYMPATHY.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
Is the way hard and thorny, oh, my brother?
Do tempests beat, and adverse wild winds blow ?
And are you spent and broken at each nightfall,
Yet with each morn you rise and onward eo?
Brother, I know, I know !
I, too, have journeyed so.
Is your heart mad with longing, oh, my sister ?
Are all great passions in your breast aglow ?
Does the white wonder of your soul blind you,
And are you torn with rapture and with woe?
Sister, I know, I know !
I, loo, have suffered so.
Is the road filled with snares and quicksand, pilgrim ?
Do pitfalls lie where roses seem to grow ?
And have you sometimes stumbled in the darkness,
And are you bruised and scarred by many a blow?
Pilgrim, I know, I know !
I, too, have stumbled so.
Do you send out rebellious cry and question,
As mocking hours pass silently and slow,
Does your insistent "wherefor" bring no answer,
While stars wax pale with watching, and droop low ?
I, too, have questioned so,
But now I know, I know
To toil, to strive, to err, to try to grow,
To love through all this is the way to know.

INTERM E DJ AR Y.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
When from the prison of its body free
My soul shall soar, before it goes to Thee,
Thou greai Creator, give it power io know
The language of all sad, dumb things below,
And let me dwell a season still on earth
Before I rise to some diviner birth;
Invisible to men, yet seen and heard,
And understood by sorrowing beast and bird
Invisible to men, yea always near,
To whisper counsel in the human ear;
And with a spell to stay the hunter's hand
And stir his heart to know and understand;
To plant within the dull or thoughtless mind
The great religious impulse to be kind.
Before I prune my spirit wings and rise
To seek my loved ones in their paradise,
Yea! even before I hasten on to see
That lost child's face, so like a dream to me,
I would be given this intermediate role,
And carry comfort to each poor, dumb soul.
And bring man's gulf of cruelty and sin
By understanding of his lower kin.
'Twixt weary driver and the straining steed
On wings of mercy would my spirit speed.
And each should know, before his journey's end,
That in the other dwell a loving friend.
prom ton nnd jungle, and from case and stall,
I would translate each in articulate call,
Each pleading look, each frenzied act and cry,
And tell the story to each passerby;
And of a spirit's privilege possessed,
Pursue indifference to its couch of rest,
And whisper in its ear until in awe
It woke and knew God's all embracing law
Of Universal Life the One in All.
I ord, let this mission to my lot befall.
While the deciding game of the
world's series was going on, away
across the continent from Fenway
Park a crowd sat in a theatre in
Los Angeles, Cal., watching the
plays flashed out on an electric
score board. When the Giants
had victory almost in their grasp
and the easy fly ball was falling,
suddenly there was a flash. Snod
grass had muffed the ball and lost
the championship for the New
Yorks. A woman in the audience
fainted. It was "Ered" Snod
grass' mother.
Oh, these mothers who wait and
watch, no matter where their chil
dren may be ! When their sons
make a bad play, take a false step,
it is the mothers who suffer. If
sons and daughters could only
realize how they are bound up in
the very lives of fathers and moth
ers, they would play a better game.
TEACHINO THE YOUNG IDEA.
A keen-eyed but obviously scan
tily educated mountaineer led his
gawky, overgrown son into a
country schoolhouse.
"This here boy's arter learnin', "
he announced. "What's yer bill
o' fare?"
"Ou-curriculum, sir," correct
ed the schoolmaster, "embraces
geography, physiology, arithmetic,
algebra, trigonometry"
"That'll do," interrupted the
father. "That'll do. Load him
up heavy with triggernometry.
He's the only poor shot in the
family." Youth's Companion.

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn't any
sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also
benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are five letters from southern women which prove
the efficiency of Lydia li. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound.
LETTKK FllOM VIRGINIA.
EUiston, Va. " I feel it lnv duty to express my thanks to on nnd your
frreat medicine. 1 was a sufferer from female troubles and had been con
Bned in bed over one third of my time for ten mouths. I could not do my
housework and had fainting spells bo that my husbund could not leave mo
alone for five minutes at a time.
' Now 1 owe my health to Lydia E, Vlnkhain's Vegetable Compound and
Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering woman 1 want to tell her what
these medicines have done for me nnd I will always speak n good word tor
them." Mrs. Robkkt UlaNkknsuii-, Ellistun, Montgomery Co., Va.
LETTER FROM LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, La. "I was passing through theChnngeof Life nnd be
fore I took Lydia E. Pink-ham's Vegetable Compound I was troubled with
hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. I would
get up in the morning feeling tired out and not lit to do anything.
" Since I have been taking your Compound and ltlood Purifier I feel all
right. Your medicines are w orth their weight in gold." Mrs. GASTON
Blondeau, 1M1 Polymnia 8t., New Orleans, La.
LETTF.R FROM FLORIDA.
Wauchula, Fla. " .Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my aymp.
toms. headache, backache, bearing-down, and discomfort in walking, caused
by female troubles.
"I got two bottles of Lydia E rinkliam's Vegetable Compound and a
package of Sanative Wash and that was all 1 used to make me a well woman.
"I am satisfied that if 1 had done like a good many women, and had
not taken vour remedies, I would have been a great sufferer. Hut I started
in time with the right medicine and got well. It did not cost very much
either. I feel that von are a friend to all women and I would rather use
your remedies than have a doctor." Mrs. Mattik Uoonot, Box 400, Wau
chula, Florida.
LETTER FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
Martinsburff, W. Va. " I am glad to say that Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vege
table Compound has done wonders for my mother, daughter and myself.
" I have told dozens of people about it and my daughter aays that when
he hears a girl complaiuing with cramps, she tells her to take your Com
pound." Mrs. Mary A. Hockk.viikkiiv, 712 N. 3rd St., Martinsburg, W. Va.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Newport News. Va. "About five years ago I was troubled with such pains
and bloating every month ti-at I would have to go to bed.
"A friend told me to take Lydia K. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound and
I soon found relief. The medicine strengthened me in every way and my
doctor approved of my taking it.
I will be glad if my testimony will help some one who is Buffering
from female weakness." Mrs. W. J. Hlavton, lO'.'a tlnuipton Ave., Newport
News, Va.
