Bright Boy-"Talkiti'." - The fact that good health, strong mus cles and .sound .nerves ,are attainable should encourage everv invalid to an earnest endeavor in the right direction. Remember all disease owes its origin. more or less, to a luck of iron in the blood. Iron in the blood means health streinrth and viuor. Analyze the blood of an invalid and little or no iron will be lund. Healthy men's blood is full of iron. 1 he best method ol supplying this lack oi iron is by using Brown s Iron Bitters, a sure cure for dyspepsia, general debility, weakness and all wasting dis eases. liable ocean of space are comix isei of the water of l-ovo Whoever iovus taost WHtelv and warmly is most iu harmony witn trie uutven. Love is tbe key to success lo love your work is to excel in it To love observ- mgly and nobly any worthy object or aim is to eventually obtain and at tain it Love is at once an ecstasy and an agony. It is the bridge whereon. -we are compelled to walk continually to iid iro, between neaven ana hen, dui vr back to heaven. ... Wheu the bridge breaks or its tim bers rot away, then are we precipitated into hell, and unable to Hud the door to heaven again, for tbe only way to go is over the bridge of Love. lie w ao loves greatly nates leeoiy. All stroii: emotions proceed from and de rive ueirstrength from Love. If Love ases his own force there is nothing left for Hate. It is only when Love grows indolent and sleeps that Hate is uabied to 'Steal his garments . of sirengtb and sully forth lo do evil. but even then he has not his elder and divine brother's power; for he was Aired by man. and Love was fa thered by (J iid. tKnl espoused nothing and said. "1 love," and Love was born to rule the universe. Afterward nothing con ceived and bore bv man a misshapen creature, called Hate, but at- one glance from the divmo eyes of his nobly born oroiner lie tails vanquisu ed at the feet of Love. TV love is to become wise with the wisdom of ages, yet to become as little child in humility aud subjec tion. To love enables us to lead an army into tbe jaws of death, and to serve as a menial at tbe reel or ouo so loved. To love is lo know happiness but not - contentment rapture but not peace, exhilaration but not satisfac tion ; for contentment means inertia, peace means stagnation, and satisfac tion means satiety, and these three can not exist where loveis. Loveandaction are coexistent and there is no repose where love is, but there is rest even in its restlessness, ecstasy in its mis ery, hoiie in its fear, joy in its sorrow. and sweet in its bitter.
