WOMAN.
“She ne’er with treacherous kiss her Saviour stung,
Nor e’er denied Him with unholy tongue;
She, when apostles shrank, could danger brave;
Last at His cross and earliest at His grave.”
“To think of summers yet to come,
That I am not to see;
To think a weed is yet to bloom
From dust that I shall be!
“To think when heaven and earth are fled,
And times and seasons o’er,
When all that can die shall be dead,
That I must die no more!
“Ah! where will then my portion be?
How shall I spend eternity!”
The Literary Sensation of the Hour
IS
The Confessions of
A Young Girl
By VERA
WOULD YOU care to see love revealed in a new and entrancing light, revealed by one whose very soul is burning with a divine and absorbing passion?
WOULD YOU care to have revealed to you the pre-nuptial desires of a young and beautiful woman, madly longing for her lover’s embrace?
WOULD YOU care to see passion revealed with a fire and intensity inconceivable to the average human?
WOULD YOU care to gaze into a heart throbbing deliriously with the joy of a transcendent happiness, then staggering under the weight of a nameless horror?
WOULD YOU care to study the quivering soul of a woman and watch her as she revels in wild and ecstatic emotions, the joy of bliss realized, and later gaze upon her as she sinks into the agonizing and abysmal depths of ruin and despair?
WOULD YOU like to be lifted out of your dull, commonplace self and thrilled with new thoughts, new impulses, new blood red emotions, by a gloriously beautiful woman who opens the secret chambers of her heart so that you may observe at close range the roaring volcano of love that is consuming her very soul?
Then seize this momentous opportunity and reap an experience which no other volume can afford, by reading

CRYSTAL.
Here, indeed, is a book every young man or woman should have. You must have often noticed at card parties, while sitting or standing around waiting for late arrivals to come, there are a few moments when you wish they’d start, or you wish there was “something doing.” Just at this moment is your chance to make a hit with your fortune-telling by cards. No matter how poor you are at it, the crowd will flock around you four and five deep. You will be the king bee, as it were, and you will have the inward pleasure of making the others feel like a long skirt on a rainy day—very damp. In addition to the above, “Fortune-Telling by the Magic Crystal” is gone into in detail, giving all the symbols for a correct divination of the future. “The Oraculum: or, Napoleon Buonaparte’s Book of Fate” (especially translated) is given here for perhaps the first time in the English language. A table of questions generally applicable has been compiled, and 16 pages of answers, to suit any temperament or individuality, are given. “Fortune-Telling With Dice” is very complete, giving an assorted list of 32 answers to questions for every possible throw of two dice. Get this book, study it, and use it at the first opportunity, and if the girls don’t say you are certainly IT we’ll refund the money. Here’s a chance to make a hit.
