My Little Bo-Peep.

My little Bo-Peep is fast asleep, And her head on my heart is lying, i gently rock, and the old hall clock Strikes a knell of the day thats dying : But what care I how the hours go by, Whether swiftly they go or creeping ! = oe Not an hou uld be but dear to me, | When my babe on my arm is sleeping.

Her little bare feet, with dimples sweet, From the folds of her gown are peeping, And each wee toe like a daisy in blow, I caress as she lies a-sleeping ; Her golden hair falls over the chair, its treasures of beauty unfolding, | press my lips to her finger tips ; That my hands are so tightly holding. |

; ick, tock, tick, tock ; you may wait, old } clock,

It was foolish what I was saying ; Let your seconds stay, your minutes play Lud bid your days go all a-Maying.

O Time! stand still—let me drink my fill Of content, while my babe is sleeping ; | As I smooth her hair, my life looks fair, | "a And to-morrow—-I may be weeping.

‘ Crow Courts.

Mr. Romanes, in discussing the question of animal intelligence, cites several instan ces in which jackdaws, rooks and crows have been seen to hold what may be called ‘ a formal court for the trial and punishment of offenders.

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments ——— to females, at the Invalids’ Hotei and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt- ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman’s peculiar maladies.

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimo- nials, received from patients and from physi- cians who have tested it in the mere aggra- vated and obstinate cases which had bat their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended asa “cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman’s peculiar ailments.

_As a powerful, invigorating ionic, it imparts strength to the whole gystem, and to the womb and its appendages in particular. For overworked, “ worn-out,” _run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,”’ house- keepers, ae, | mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest er boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.

As @ soothing and strengthening nervine, “Favorite Prescription” is une-

ualed and is invaluable in allaying and gub-

ulng nervous excitability, irritability, ex- haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms com- monly attendant upon functional and organie disease of the womb. It induces refreshing seep, an relieves mental anxiety and de- spondency.

Or. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a Jogitimato medicine, carefuily compounded by an ee and skillful physician, and adap to woman’s delicate organization, I¢ is purely vegetable in its composition and cor harmiess in its effects in any condition of the system. For morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys- pepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in small CGoses, wili prove very beneficial,

“Pavorite Prescription” isa posi- tive eure for the most complicated and ob- stinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions,

rolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, ‘female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, ineemrestion. om weptasion ot the womb, in-

ammation, pain an nderness in ov accompanied with “internal heat.” am As a regulator and promoter of func- tional action, at that critical period of change from girlhood to womanhood, “ Favorite Pre- Scription” is a perfectly safe remedial a ent, and can produce oa. good resulta. It ig apa efficacious and yaluabls in its effecta when taken for those disorders and derange« ments incident to that later and most critical period, known as “ The Change of Life.”

“Favorite Prescription,” when taken in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce’is puraative Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, idney and Bladder . Their combined use removes blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and scrofulous humors from the system.
