DELAWARE, 0., Feb. 16, 1877.
Ma. I1. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir.-I wish to give you this testi
mony, that you may know, and let others
know, what Vegetine has done for me,
About two years ago a small sore came on
my leg; it became a large Ulcer, so trouble
some that I consulted the doctor, but I got
no relief, growing worse from day to day.
I suffered terribly; I could not rest day or
night; I was so reduced my friends thought
I wonid never recover; I consulted a doctor
at Columbus. I followed his advice; it did
no good. I can truly say I was discouraged.
At this time I was looking over my news
paper: I saw your advertisement of Vege
tine, the "Great Blood-Purifier" for cleans
ing the blood from all impurities, curing
Humors. Ulcers, &c. 1 said to my family,
I will try some of the Vegetine. Before I
had used the first bottle I began to feel bet
ter. I made un my mind I had got the right
medicine at last. I could now sleep well at
nights. I continued taking the Vegetine.
I took thirteen bottles. My health is good.
The Ulcer is gone, and I am able to attend
to business.- l paid about four hundred dol
lars for medicine and doctors before I
bought the Vegetine. I have recommended
Vegetine to others with good success I
always keep a bottle of it in the house now.
It is a most excellent medicine.
Very respectfully yours, F

IMnuRE BLooD.-In morbid conditions of
the blood are many diseases; such as salt
rheum, ring-worm, boils, carbuncles, sores,
ulcers and pimiles. In this condition of the
blood try the-VEGETINE, and cure these
affections. As a blood purifier it has no
equal. Its effects are wondertul.

DR. STEVENS:
Dear Sir,-I fefl it my duty to say one
word in regard to the great benefit I have
received from the use of one of the greatest
wonders of the world; it is your Vegetine.
I have been one of the greatest sufferers for
the last eight years that ever could be liv
ing. I do sincerely thank my God and your
Vegetine for the relief I have got. The
Rheumatism has pained me to such an ex
tent, that my feet broke out in sores. For
the last three years I have 1.ot been able to
walk; now I can walk and sleep, and do
my work as well as ever I did, and I must
say I owe it all to your blood purifier, Vege.
tine. MARGERY WELLS.
VEGETINE.-The great success of the VEG
ETINE as a cleanser and purifier otthe blood
is shown beyond a doubt by the great num
bers who have taken it, and received im
mediate relief, with such remarkable cures.

MEDICINE,
HENDERSON, Ky., Dec., 1S77.
I have used H. R. Stevens' Vegetine, and
like it better than any medicine I have
used for purifying the blood. One bottle of
Vegetine accomplished more good than
all other medicines I have taken.

and Herbs. It is very pleasant to take;

A long stretch of velvet lawn,

It does not matter. for his partner,

seems strange her name can come hal

so hard and firm a mouth.gr
"'Maud' to my friends, sir, get

He leaves her, and saunters in
to the sh.rubbery, following a lit- the

the brook. Then he throws him- fac
self at full length upon the soft,
moss, and thinks better things of
the girl who has befooled him. Ge:
Half an hour later there is a rus- sac

He pointed to a low, rustic seat, ac

measure strength, they look into Y0
each other's faces-his pale, de- ha
termined ; hers passionate, resent- 7
ful. Then Gerald turns his head no
away, lest resolution should fail. h
His tone is low, but full of fierce, bl
suppressed energy :
"You have not played with my fai
love for months. Maud, without ga
learning what it is. It comes be- an4

happiness."in

the little town of Sorthwick, an
archery ball is being held. The
committee, in view of his father's
recent death and his own social
ruin, had decided not to send the
customary reminder; but Gerald,
with a poor man's morbid sensi
tiveness, misinterprets the kind
ness. With an impatient move
ment, expressive of'disgust, tosses
away the half-smoked cigar. It
alights on the soft turf of a small 1o
croquet-ground and lies smoking. ti
Then with a curious smile, he p
crosses and picks it up carefully. 1]
"I had forgotten myself," he ti
mutters : "the last of the box, and h
a brand I am not likely to taste c,

So, with the cigar between his ti
teeth, he passed through the gate, fj

The music grows distinct as he h

bitterly. t]

bowling-green at the great doors a:
of the Assembly Rooms, to which 6
heated couples come from time to 01
time to inhale the soft, pare air, r,
and perhaps draw inspiration from tj
the moonlight. At length he sees b
her, leaning on Captain Hall's t<
arm, and laughing gaily. h
A bitter imprecation rises to his h
lips, but he suppresses it. "Are
you content now, stupid ?" he c4
asks himself, d
A bird twitters on a bough near
him, and by force of subtle asso- n
ciations, in strange mockery, the x

once startled Maud by a -per- a

cooing; it was when they were
most friendly, before Captain a
Hall's advent. h
It shall be your signal when a
you want me, and I am talking to
disagreeable people,'.' she had said. i~
He wondered whether she would a
remember the incident, and a wish
grew upon him to try the ex-s
periment.b
Thbey had ceased talking, Maud a
and her partner, and were gazing a
straight toward him; but there i
was safety in the shadow, he b
knew.a
"Coo-o-o!I" A soft note, thrice a
repeated.
He saw Maud start violently, o
and tremble. Captain Hall though t C
it was with cold. 1
"The night air is too chill," he r
said ; "let us return."
"No, I cannot leave the moon
light; but you may fetch my n
wrapper, if you will be so good."
The watcher beneath the treesr
saw him vanish; saw Maud's y
gloved hand pressed to her heart, i
as thbough to still its beating. Then a
he marveled for a moment whether i

a white figure glided towards him
through the moonlight, heedless 1;

He drew her into the shadow. o
"Say good-by to mc, Maud."
There was a gtreer tremor in the
voice.
"Good-by ?" she asked, wonder- .
igly.
"I leave England to-morrow.
Will you not bid me good-by, my a
lost darling ?"i
Captain Hall appeared in the
door way at that moment, search
ig with great astonishment forc
his partner, but they were happily y
unconscious of the fact, for two
bare arms were around Gerald's t
neck and a sweet voice was whis- e

"Love-love will you not stay, .e

One of the most peduliar features
f this Exposition is that just about
ie time you imagine you have ex
ored its wonders pretty thorough
r; you suddenly come upon a sec
on that you have never seen or
eard of before, and wonder how it
>uld possibly have escaped you.
I commenced rdy tour of inspec
on on the first day of May. In
ct, I was pretty familiar with the
ailding some weeks before that,
ad yet, during the past week, I
ave seen things which have filled
te with wonder to think that I
>uld have wandered about through
ais Exposition and never have
en them before. As you cross
2e magnifice4t bridge which spans
e Seine between the Trocadero
ad the main building, a number
f beautiful stractures lie imme
iately to the right. The little
'rincipality of Monaco has raised
a elegant little Oriental kiosk and
ied it with ceramics and curious
bjects of art. You will doubtless
collect that it was to this place
ie gamblers went when they were
anished from Baden-.13aden, and
)-day it is the great gambling
ouse of Europe. When I first
eard of the Monaco exhibit I ex
ected to find faro boxes, packs of
rds, sweat cloths, roulette tables,
ice boxes; and you may guess my
urprise to discover one of the'
.ost beautiful exhibitions of cera
.ics in the entire Exposition, sur
>unding fountains and flowers,
ad other objects of beauty and
't.
Beyond the exhibit of Monaco, is
special exhibit by Spain, and jusO
ere let me say that Spain has made
magnificent display in a number
F other departments. The build
g of which I am now going to
eak is the Spanish exhibit of
ines, and remarkable as it may
em, is composed exclusively of
:ttles. The building is quite large
iad imposing, only a little distance
if a party of wild Arabs fresh from
e. desert sands lay easily about
eneath the shadow of their tents,
d looking as we imagine 1shmael
tust have looked, the first born of
brahamn. Entering the door at
ce you are dazzled by a scene of
riental splendor*; gorgeous pil
rs of glass and arches of chrystal
ise before you, flashing and
littering with millions of colored
ghts. The arches and pillars are
odeled after the grand palace of
e Aihambra. You turn to the,
ght or the left and, multiplied by
1ie chrystal reflectors, you look
iarough long avenues of beautiful
ches where the li'ght, multiplied a
ionsand times, flashes and breaks
diamond coruscations till you
el that you are standing in fairy
nd. Over your head hang multi
des of glittering stalactites of the
urest white, of the. brightest of
rystal and of the most emerald
reen, purple, yellow, violet .'and
tultitudes of shades for which art
as not yet found a name, add to the
onders of this enchanting palace.
ou have been inspecting this mar
ellous building some time before
ou begin to realize that you have

rs of wine, roof of wine, walls of

ectural genius it has excited gen
ral wonder, and even among this
ssemblage of works gathered from
very portion oi the globe, this un
iue exhibition of Spanish wines
as been considered one of the
Arvels of the Exposition.
