I will - paint with the skill of a master, And many shall pause to see This wonderful piece of pain tins, So like the reality. 1 will paint yourself, rumseller, As you wait for that fair young boy, Just in the morn of manhood; A mother’s pride and joy, He has no thought of stopping, But you greet him with a smile, And you seem so gay and friendly, That he pauses to chat awhile. I will pamt you again, rumseller; 1 wyl paint you as you stand. Holding a glass of liquor, Sparkling in either hand. He wavers, but you urge him: “Drink: Pledge me just this one. And he lifts the glass and drains it, And the hellish work is done. And next I will paint a drunkard, Only a year has flown, But into this loathsome creature The fair young boy has grown. The work was sure and rapid; 1 will pamt him as he lies In deathlike drunken slumber Under the wintry skies. 1 will paint the form of the mother As she kneels ut her darling’s side; Her beautiful boy, who was dearer Than all the world besidt; 1 will paint the shape of the coflin And label it one woid—lost. I will paint all this, rumseller; 1 will jmint it free of cost. the sor BEDON ITEMS * Bedon, May, 21).

Diefanbach of New York, in a paper en titled “Observations on the Etiology of Cancer.” read before the Bureau of Sanitary Science and Public Health during the session of the International Homeopathic Congress at Atlantic City, discussed this subject r According to a special dispatch to the Philadelphia North American, Dr. Diefan bach advanced the argument that chipping Break, Scorch or Bum Will Last a Lifetime of the hard-coated dishes used in preparation of meals allowed minute but dangerous particles of foreign matter to become mixed with the food, these being taken into the stomach, where the cancerous growth is caused by abrasions which they make in the walls of the organ. “1892” Pure Aluminum Ware saves doctors' bills.
