TOO LATE
By Fit* Hugh Ludlow
fitz m'OH iA'Di.ow. JournallBt nml poet, was born
in New York In \W and dlod in Geneva, Switzerland,
In 1870. Ho wiib graduated from Union college and
studied law. but left that profession ror citltorlal work.
\.'hllo In college Ludlow wrote n number <'f well known
student song?. Ills writings Ineludcd a wide ranRo <>(
subjects, among his books being one on the opium
habit. "Too Lnto." "JJessto's School" and "Hymn of
Forbearance" uro his bint known poems.
HERE sot nn old nmn on n rook,
And uncoasing bewailed him of Feto,
That c011c?ru where we nil niusl take stock,
Though our vote has no hearing or weight;
And the old man souk him an old, old Bong,?
Never sang voice so clear and strong
That It could drown the old man's long,
For he sung the song, "Too Into! too later7 ,|.' '"
"When we want, we have for our pains V;.
The promise that If we but wait
Till the want has burned out of our brains,
Every means shall be present to sate:
While wo Bond for the napkin the soup gets-cold,
While the bonnet Is trimming the (nco grows old,
When we've matched our buttons the pattern is sold,
And every thing comes too late, - too late!
"When strawberries seemed like red heavens,?
Terrapin stow n wild dream,?
Whon my brain was at sixes and sevens *
If my mother had 'folks' and ice-cream,
Then I gazed with a lickerish hunger .'?
At the restaurant man and fruit-monger,?
But O, how I wished I wore younger,
Whon the goodies all came In n stream,?In n stream!
"I've u splendid blood horse, and- a livor
That It jars into torture to trot;
My rowboiat's the gem of the river,- -
Gout makes every knuckle n knot!
I can buy boundless credits on Parin and Rome,
But no palate for menus, no eyes for a dome?
27io?c belonged to tho youth who must tarry at homo,
Whon no home but nn attic he'd got?he'd got!
?'How I longed, In that lonest of garrets,
Where the tiles baked my brains all duly,
For ground to grow two pecks of carrots,
Two pigs of my own In a sty, . ? .
A rose-bush?0 little thatched cottage ?
Two spoons--love?a basin of pot taue!
Now in freestone I sit?and my dotage? ? ,
With a woman's chair empty close by,?close by!
"Ah! now. though I sit on n rock,
I have shared one Seat with the great;
I have sat knowing naught of the clock
On love's high throne of state;
But the lips that kissed, and the arms that caressed,
To a month grown stern with delay were pressed,
And circled a breast thnt their clasp had blessed,
Had they only not come too late,- too lab

Stomach Trouble.
?'I have been troubled with my stom
ach for the pa3t four years," says D. L.
Beach, of Clover Nook Farm, Grcen
llcld, Mass. "A fow years ago I was
induced to buy a box of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets. 1 have
taken a part of them and feol a groat
deal hotter." if you have any trouble
with your stomach try a box of these
Tablets. You are certain to be pleased
with tho result. Price 25 cents. For
salo by Laurens Drug Co.
Let tor to Moseley & Roland,
Dear Sirs: Von ask how many square
feet a gallon will cover. Depends on
condition of building.
There is a great deal of lying on this
point. Tho stock claim of lying paints
is 300 square feet, two coats. It's a lie,
as a rule.
Devoo covers '300 to 500, our agents
think. We think 300 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless, they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful: we guess 100 to 500.
The truth is found in another compar
ison. Devoo is all paint, truo paint,
strong paint and full-measure; tho
others in general are, at the best, de
luted, adulterated and short-measure.
They cover according to body and
measure. You can't paint with clay,
lime ckalk sand barytcs water or air?
no body in them. Co by Devoe.
Yours truly,
(i f. w. Devoe & Co.
P. S.- Moseley & Roland sell our
paint.
