THE EVENING STROLL.

Dear wife, iipon this gentle aipht, Whils earth *nd he*ven are still, And Phoebus droops his banner bright BrtMad the western hill. Come, puce with me the solemn glade, Whose bhadowß veil the cheek Of mauy a blushing modeat maid Tnat heard her lever spsak. Though Ihou and i are past the prime, And we v.n more can know The bliss that breathes from summer time And sets young heart* aglow, Yet age hath not ua chiliad, and we Iv others' joy c-in share, And bless, beaeath their trysting-treo, You j outhful, Living pair. See wheie they pace in Uviudd grace, And eyes that cannot *cc The spreading grove, the purp!a sky, Or any things that be Save ouly each the other's- eyes As, bending now to kiss, They taste— wha*; prudence ne'er denies— The Ursi fruits of Love's blis3. Thi i scene so fair, this calm so deep, alight make us half believe Tbat Heaven bad raited from their long sleep Young Adam atsd his Eve. E'en so they paced that gardoa old Ia careless toadaess free, Strong in their love's firm faith and bold I a spotless purity. Thrice happy pair ! may life oa ycu fche*? oaly fruitful shower , ; May no-lung mar the p*.*o:or Ye vnvv within these bowel-, , May eaoh to each, be stfu^lcvjr fri^ud, Faithful, where'er ye pum, And when Life's caequer'd journey ends May Heaven iecelve ye home ! fanuaiy 1898. — H.

Mr Rolt' Snojydoa, Orauge, N.S.W., writea on July 27, 1897 : — "I ruusb in justic9 to you send au acknowledgment re the benefit I h»ve received through taking Clements Tonic. I can candidly tell you that for general debility (trom which complaint I have suffered for years although only a young man) I have found Clements Tonic to ba the only reliable remedy, although I tried numerous others. I alao suffered (being a plucabor) from lead poisoning ; my left hand became iuoeulated with lead. I suffered terrible pain for three months, but I am very pleased to state that after taking Clements Tonic for about four weeks my hand, was as well as ever, and I have not suffered the slightest inconvenience since ; therefore as a remedy for debility and blood purifier I can with all faith recommend Clements Tonic, i am well known here, also in other colonies, andl c»b confidently assert that Clements Tonic i< unsurpassable, I naver miss an opportunity to recommend it to others. — Yours gratefuUsv.
