over when the ink is brown, the paper
yellow with age. and the hands that traced
the friendly words, lip folded over the

she realizes that she was once belle and
a Beauty, aud behoIis her former self in
mirrYr much mors congen;al to her
taste than the one that confrents her in
her dressing room. The "widow indeed
derives sweet and solemn consolation
from the letters of the beloved one, WHO
has journeyed before her to the far off land,
from which there come no messages, ind
where she hopes che day to join him.
No photographer can SO wildly recall to
the memory of a mother the tenderness
and devotion Of The children who Lave
left her at the call at Heaven, as the epis
tolary outpourings of their fiIial love. The
letter Of true son or daughter 10 true
mother, is something better than an i'm
age of the features; it is reflex of the
writer's soul.
Keep all loving letters, burn only tie

to say it is "full ofgood i ings," as that

Professor takes occasion to tell us what
he thinks about that wonderful fact, Ami.

ible for his facie pen to eucidate its mys-
teries more satisfactorily.
The article on Tobacco we heartily

use the weed scientifically, but to those
who would oppose its use in a scientific
reasonable manner. Both sides, can finl

tents in detail but advise every body to
examine for themselves.
