sually severe and protraced winter has caused
a great loss to stock raiscrs. There has not
been feed enough in the country to keep stock

country from starvation. Even in sections OF
the country where there is scarcely ever fail

laid up, they are suffering very material losses

who had large number Of cattle, was losing
them constantly-that when he left home his

FANNY FERN on DREss.-It is my opin,
ion, after all that is said, that women dress
much more with an eye to their own sex,
than to the other. What man, unless he be
a dry goods merchant, knows whether wo-
man wears Honiton or cotton late? What
man else knows the value Of the dainty
handkerchiets with which ladies so oStenta-
tiously polish their pretty noses? W hat

rests upon it, computes its value to a trac-
ton. Yes-women dress much more for

THE MA1DEN's PRAYER.

BY J. @. WHITTIER.
She rose from her delicious sleep
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in q tone as low and deep
As loves first whisper, brcathed prayer
Her snow white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast,
Just swelling with the charms it hid.
And from her long and flowing dress,
Escaped bare and snowy foot,
Whose steps upon the earth did press
Like a new snowflake, white and mute;
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that light and matchless form
And humb.y prayed to be forgiven.
On, God, If souls unsoiled as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne;
Ii she upon her bended knees,
Our l,olcst and purcSt one;
She with face SO clear and bright,
VIC deem hor some stray child OF light;
If she with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day in her young years,
Must knccl and pray for grace from Thee,
What far, far deeper need have We!
How hardly, If she win not Heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven!

WORTH THE EXPERIMENT, TELL YOUR WIFE,


"Ies, the only way IS, to tell your wife
just how YOU stand. Show her your bal
ance-shcet. Let her look over the items
You think it will hurt her feelings. No. it
will not do any such thing. She has been
taught to believe that money was with you,
Just rs little boys think it is with their faith,
ers,-terribly hard to be reached, yet in
exhaustble. She has had her suspicious
already. She has gussed You were not SO
prosperous as you talked. But you have 50
betoggcd your money affairs, that she poor
thing knows nothing about them. Tell it
right to her, that you are living outside OF
your income. Take her into partnership,
and I'll warrant you'll never regret it.
There may be slight shower at first, but
that's natural.
Let her See your estimate, when YOU
come home again she will show you that
you have put her bills too high. True, she
had rather costly bonnet last winter, but
it is ';iust as good rs ever; few shillings
will provide it with new strings and retlt 1t
lttlc-the shape, she says, is almost en-
actly as they wear them now." And you
will be surprised to see how much less en-
pensive she can make your own wardrobe.
She will surprise You with new rest-llot
exactly familiar, somehow, looking as if in
another shape you had seen it before,-yet
new as q vest, and scarcely costing dollar
where YOU had allowed five. Old cravats
will experience renovation in her hands:
coming out so rejuvenated, that no body but
those who arc let into the secret would slls-
pect that they are old friends in new shapes.
The dressing gown that YOU were going to
buy-out of What forgotten chest she has
gathered the material you cannot imagine
but there it is, comfortable and warm, and
just the thing that YOU wanted for the long
winter evenings that are coming on as fast
as the almanac will let them.
You will find wonderful change in her
tastes and appetite. Whereas, she always
fancied what was little out of season, or
Just coming into market-now if beef is
dear, she thinks boiled mutton is delightful
as tender rs chicken. If lambs rise, and
fish are plenty, she thinks a Striped bass, or
a fried sole good occasionally.
Before YOU have thought much about it.
YOU will find yourself spending most of
your evenings too, so full of Domestic en-
ioyment, and fireside pleasures, that you
will look with wonder on the record of last
years expenses, and marvel that you found
time or relish for the costly entertainments
that seriously taxed your pocket. If too,
like many, your outgoes threaten to exceed
your incomes, be sure and tell your wife Of
It. Not in i tone or manner that will lead
her to think you don't want her to buy what
is really necessary for winter, hut just as ii
YOU wanted counsellor in the day Of your
trouble. And if she does not come up,
heart and soul, and most successfully, to
your relief, put me down for no prophet.

POETS LOVE PLAIN WOMEN.

A poet, who writes in the Golden Era OF
San Francisco, says:
We like homely women. We have al.
ways liked them. We do not carry the Pc
culiarty far enough to include the hideous
or positively ugly; for since beauty and
money are the only capital the world will
recognize in women they are more to be
pilied than admired; but we have chlval-
ric, enthusiastic regard for plain women
We never saw one who was not modest,
unassuming, and sweettempercd, and seldom
came across one who was not virtuous, and
had not good heart. Made aware early
in life of their want of beauty by the slighted
attentions of the opposite sex, vanity and
affectaton never take root in their hearts !;
and in the hope of supplying attractions
which 4 capricious nature has denied, they
cultivate the graccs of the heart instead OF
the person. and give to the mind those ac-
complishmcnts which the world SO rare Y
appreciates in woman, but which arc more
lasting, and, in the eyes of men OF sense,
more highly priced than all personal beauty.
See them III the street, at home, OF in the
church, and they are always the same ana
the smile which ever lives upon the face is
not forced there to fascinate, but rs the spon.
tlneous sunshine reflected from Il kind heart
u flower which takes root in the soul and
blooms upon the lips, inspiring respect in
stead Of passion, emotions of admiration IN
stead of feelings of sensual regard. Plain
women make good wives, good mothers,
cheerful homes. and happy husbands, and
We never see one but we thank Heaven that
it has kindly created women of sense as
well as beauty. for it is indeed seldom te-
| male is found possessing both. To home!y
women we therefore lift our title in res,
pect; the world will extend the same cour.
tesy to beauty. San Francisco has but few
plain women, but all suchwe intend to make
lte.subscribcrs to the Golden Era, i'll view
of their worth to society.
