unfulfilled. Once, on a burning desert's sands, With lips afire, there dying lax One who toward home, in distant lands, Had striven a weary way. Beside him fell his empty gourd. Its last cool drop of water gone: His hands held, wildly clutched, the hoard Of gold that years of strife had won. With frenzied eyes to Cod he tinned And wept and prayed a fever-crazed, Wild plea for water; but still burned The unanswering sky that o'er him blazed. ?"Allah, thou heed'st not my prayer! Must thou my treasure, 'ere thou'lt hear.'" Then through the arid desert air His gold be scattered far and near. Tain, vain?not all his gold could bring Tho water that his lips had prayed. And so he died, faint murmuring Of streams where he in boyhood played. Ah, little better than him dead On fierce Sahara' arid plain, Are those who fairest pathways tread With hearts whose dearest wish is vain. Who dream by day and weep by night For some one gift they ne'er can hold, Though they the glitter and the light Of earth's supremest treasures fold. E'en as it is a King will sigh Beneath bis. crown, and envy much The laughter in a peasant's eye And wish his crown were changed to such. Dcatii <>r Col. Kl?n. "WiNNsr.ono', December 12.?Col.

Stephens' Cousin. I am first cousin of the late Ex-Governni Alexander 11. Stephens, and have been postal clerk on different railroads since lHfjS'. For ten years I have been a .sufferer from a cancer on my face, which grew worse until the discharge of matter became profuse and very offensive. I became thoroughly disgusted with blood purifiers and pronounced them humbugs, as I had tried many without relief. Finally I was induced to use B. B. 13., which was about the 1st of February, and continued its use until the latter part of April. The offensive discharge decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer disappeared. It improved my general health and I rapidly gained llcsh and strencth. The discharge gradually de creased and the cancer became less and less in size until nothing remains except a star to tell the talc af a once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me since 1 have com menced the use of B. B. B. bear testimony of my great improvement, and the scar on my face shows that it cured the cancer. I find that B. B. B. conies squarely up to what it is recommended, and I cannot say too much in praise of this wonderful medi cine. I luve tried them nil but B. P.. B. stands at the top as a blood purifier. The above is copied from thu Athens, (Ga.) Banner-Watchman, being the volun teer language of Mr. .lames A. Cieer, which Editor Gantt indorses: "Mr. Greer is an honest, uprigh! citizen of Athens, who had a bail cancer, and his numerous rriends thought that lie could not live very long, as the cancer was grad ually sapping the foundation of his con stitution, but now looks well and hearty. ". Agni list IS. Several physicians have pronounced my disease blood poison, caused by paint or lead in the paint, but they could not cure me. Last summer I used eighteen bottles of a largely advertised blood medicine, which did me no more good than so much water. 1 have used only two bottles of B. B. B. and am proud to say that I have received greater benefit from them than from the eighteen, and am now rapidly recovering. There is no question about the superiority of B. B.
