And 1 regarded it half carelessly,
Eeheving that no mure upt'O this earth

But as I read, a sudden, solemn thrill
Flung tmr me a cold akin to pain;
And cords within me. never struck in vain.
Leapt Into life and swayed m soul at will.
As some slight sapling ou a wind swept hilL
It told me naught I had not known before.
That letter et a tiny, fluttering nope
Till then within m world worn heart had scopsj
For gauzy w inca, u hesse rusy texture ore
The golden glints my early fancies bore.
My lips grow pale where sneers are wont to sit.
Tears fill the e es I thought too fierce to weep;
And all my pride two wurds can overleap
For only two the letter has in it.
But potent, para!zimr- "Hease Remit."

the most of them will sell nothing but

failure Women don't drink hot drinks
in drug stores, and vt hen a man wants a
