THEY MET. 
ROBEKT TURNEY. 
They met—’twas at the garden-gate; 
The moot) shone bright—the hour was late; 
No prying eyes were round to see— 
And he was there, and so was she. 
They wandered through each well-known walk, 
They talked the talk all lovers talk. 
The moonbeams peeped through bush and tree- 
And she was there, and so was he. 
“ Thou art my life, my soul.' 1 he cried; 
’■There lives not on this world so wide 
An Angel without wings like thee 
And he was there, and so was she. 
And from her lips these accents fell: 
" My love for thee words fail to tell; 
’Tie boundless, dearest, as the sea 
And she was there, and so was he. 
Sweet moon, ’neath thy inspiring rays, 
What pranks mysterious Cupid plays; 
A moonshine little god is hr— 
And he was there, and so was she. 
“ Hector—good dog!’’ the old man said, 
“ Yon maudlin lool should be in bed. 
My noble hound, I’ll cut thee loose; 
We'll cook yon midnight-wanderer’s goose.” 
" Adolphus, fly !” the maiden cried, 
" Here Hector, with mouth open wide. 
And eyes that glow like balls of fire. 
Comes, followed by my wrathful sire." 
He shook the dew-drops from his boots; 
Like meteor through the air he scoots; 
But Hector rushes like the wind. 
And grabs the Dying man behiud. 
A growl—a rip—ah! never, never. 
Did pants from ties so quickly sever; 
Freed from his clothes. Adolphus starts. 
And o'er the fence like lightning darts. 
The modest moon still brightly shone; 
Such sights she oft has gazed upon; 
Such Bights, while Time remains, she’ll see— 
And she was there, but where was he?

Incurring a Tremendous Risk. 
They Incur a tremendous risk who sojourn or 
emigrate i o reside In districts where malarial dis¬ 
ease is prevalent, without medicinal means of 
fortifying their systems against the periodic 
scourge. The danger to bilious subjects, and to 
those who lack bodily stamina, Is particularly 
serious. A preveutivo and curative agent or 
known anti-malarial efficacy should be frequent¬ 
ly used and constantly kept at hand by such per¬ 
sons; and on none oan they rely with such cer¬ 
tainty of protection audaid as lioatetter’s stom¬ 
ach Bitters. This grand specific roots out every 
vestige of tup malarial pr4son from the system, 
and endows it with an amount ol vital activity 
and repelling power t hat nullifies the influence 
of miasma, ft also prevents and remedies disor¬ 
ders of the stomach, bowels and liver, which are 
particularly prevalent In malarious regions, and 
Is a Incomparable general lnvigorant.
