Cupid and Cycling.

+ The wheelmen took her hand in his, save it) a loving squeeze, the while her warmth of paasion riz a whole lot of degrees. He cried, 'My love oonsumeth me ? My breaefc is all on fire ! 'Tis love as bouudless as the sea—love that can never 'tire.' * See how '.my frame' is all convulsed with eighs I can't conceal. If my advances are repulsed to ruiu I will wheel. "Think nob I am a 'crank,' or that my brain is oub of ' gear,' or thokt I'm talking thtough my hat; I'm honest and sincere. ♦I do nob ' pedal' out my love to every girl I meet, as pedlars hawk their wares who rove along the buiy street. ' If you should scorn my earnest plea, how • iad'lV be niy lot INo * hsnd'il bar' my misery from being over wroughfc. 'Bub if to hear me you will deign and take me for your ' hub,' how smooth will run affec tion's 'chain,' withoub a j*r or rub.' This quaint proposal won the dear, ioto his arms she fell, and now the happy day draws near, when he will " ring the belle." — The Hub.

"Given up for Dead. Restored to Perfect Health" Only three bottles cure severe lameness from rheumatism, flesh is regained, eyesight improved, and natural health returns. Ayer's Sarsaparilla "I have been a great sufferer from rheumatism and liver complaint, and Was very lame. "My brother, who -was very ill, was given up for dead by the doctors.* But Ayer's Sarsaparilla put new life in him, and he and my father, hearing I -was so ill, recommended this medicine to me. Before I had taken three bottles I felt improved. My lameness began to leave me and I began to feel like a hew ■woman. I also regained much flesh witfcn"l had lost. Strange though it may seem, my eyesight, which had become weak, gradually became stronger, until it was perfectly natural." This testimony from Mrs. Mary Bright (whose portrait is here given), of Cor nish Town, Cobar, New South Wales, must strongly impress all who read it. It tells of the wonderful power of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to drive disease out of the system. How could a testimonial tell more? How could a remedy do more? Put your confidence in Ayer's Sarsaparilla, "The World's Greatest Family Medicine. 91 Because other medicines have failed should not discourage you. One great medicine is left for you—Ayer's Sarsaparilla. <Jt acts directly on the blood, takes out all impurities. AVER'S Sarsaparillst! r% I l»l 1 IP That ■Cures.
