BoORAMPooTRA Observation-Disclosures, OF
the Appiedore House, used to tell good sto-

rance in New Hampshire. He kept shop III
Portsmouth, and as there was no prOhlblt7ry
law there then, he had bar supplied with the
best Of liquOr--and the term best meant It
then, because there were no adute:ated funds
to drive men crazy. As novelty, I4ai gten
made compound Of various liquors Which he
favored with lemon and sugar, and ehrlsteDed
it BoorampOotra Lemonade. 1t required
a pretty well regulated head to stand more
than one glass of it. One day a man came in
from up the river, whom he knew as Il new
light in the then new temperance cause, and
said he had heard the Boorampootra lemonade
well spoken of, and wished a specimen, as he
was very dry. Laighton filled him large
sized tumbler, which the man drained to the
last drop, with sigh of satisfaction, as he paid
the six cents, then the highest price for blbu-
lants. He left the store for down town, but in
about twenty minutes he appeared again, his
face rather red, but whether it betokened war
or peace Laighton couldn't tell. He accord
ingly stepped inside Of his counter and waited
orders. He felt reassured when the voice,
unctuous and mellow, addressed him:
Mr. Laight'l, want another glass o that

come is less than it would be in any other de-
nomination. The unities are fundamental
The diversities are superficial. There Is a COM
mon parentage, common history, common
share in great traditions, and in the renown OF
great men. Spirit and aims are essentially the
same. The work to be done is the same; the
instrumentalities for doing it are the same :
The Articles of Belief are unassaied; the
Greed is one for all, the catechism, the ordl-
nance, the symbol. Both parties use the same
weapons to keep at bay or defeat the same
foe Both have at heart the same interests
intellectual, spiritual, social There is no po-
litical breach for both profess the ancient 10y
atty to republican government, and to the cause
Of personal liberty. The grounds OF difference
were never veey deep, never touched the sphere
of vital religion. The occasions OF dispute have
passed by, and the questions in dispute have,
some of them, probably become obsolete. At
all events, the Committee, in their report, say
they have.
We shall watch, therefore, with more than
usual interest this new negotiation. The re-
suits of it show, better than anything el>e can,
how much truth there is in the belief that the
prevailing disposition among Protestant sects
is toward unity We shall see to what extent
vital considerations prevail over incidental ones
how much stronger faith is than feeling
principle than passion, the law Of attraction,
which draws men and communities together to
a common center for a common purpose, than
the law of repulsion, which multiplies the
sects. Should the attempt succeed, it will
hardly predict success to other attempts made
at greater disadvantage. Should it fail, it will
demonstrate the fact that individualism has
not done its work by greas deal, but must
run itself out much further before its recOll

How TO DRESS WELL-In an old number
of AU the Year Round, we find the following
" AS you look from your window in Paris, OBJ
serve the first women who pass; forty have
noses depressed in the middle, a small quanti-
ty of dark hair, and a swarthy complexion; but
then, what a toilet Not only suitable for the
season, but to the age and complexion OF the
wearer. How neat the feet and hands How
we'll the clothes are put on, and more than all,
how we'll they suit each other !"
We have often said the same thing In other
words. Before our English women can dress
perfectly, they must have the taste Otthe French
especially in color. One reason why we see
colors ill-arranged in this country is, that the
different articles are purchased each for its own
imagined virtues, and without any thought of
what it is to be worn with. Women, while
shopping, buy what pleases the eye on the cOun-
ter, forgetting what they have got at home
That parasol is pretty, but it will kill by its
color one dress in the buyer wardrobe, and be
unsuitable for all others. To be magnlhcently
dressed certainly costs money but to be dress
ed with taste is not expensive. 1t requires
good sense, knowledge, refinement. Never
buy an article unless it is suitable to your age,
habits, style, and to the rest Ofyour wardrobe.
Nothing is more vulgar than to wear costly la
ces with a common delaine, or cheap laces with
expensive brocades.
What colors, we may be asked, go best to-
gether? Green with violet; gold with dark
crimson or lilac pale blue with scarlet; pink
with black or white and gray with scarlet OF
pink. A gold color generally requires warm
tint to give to it. Gray and pale blue, tor IN,
stance, do not combine well, both being cold
colors White and black are safe wear, but
the latter is not favorable to dark or pale com
plexions. Pink is, to some skins, the most be
coming; not, however, If there is much colo
in the cheek and lips and if there be even
suspicion of red in either hair or complexion
Peach-color is perhaps one Of the most elegan
colors worn. Maize is very becoming, particu
larly to persons with dark hair and eyes. Bu
whatever the color or material of the entir
dress, the details are all in all; the lace rount
the bosom and sleeves; the flowers; in fact
all that furnishes the dress. The ornament
in the head must harmonize with the dress. =
| If trimmed with black lace, some of the SAM
should be worn in the head, and the flower
that are worn in the hair should decorate th'
dress.

Beside the trout stream. quick and coeI,

And. lit by love. the earth shone fair
As sunset on troplc sea.

Shape dropping cypress and dark yew;
For sorrow, on the track of youth,
Comes swiftly with uuhagging wing,
AMI manhood brings to light the truth

Joining the beauteous with the sad.

To teach that God would have us glad,

The Cost of Weeds.

The most extensive crop grown by
farmers is weeds. 1t is not easy to es-
,timate their cost, but we know that il
amounts to many millions of dollars an
nually. Iftheir value is anything, the
farmer has seldom been able to appre-
ciate it. The question of weeds becomes
every year more serious, and their spread
more appalling. Some of the best farms
of the country have become so INFESTED
with weeds as to yield but poor returns.
If our present system of culture is to
continue, no one need expect TO rapidly
grasp a fortune at farming.
The eradication of weeds, when they
once get possession of the soil, is some
what discouraging to the farmer, espe-
cially when neighboring farms
are growing weed crops that fur
nish innumerable seeds to be waited by
the wind and deposited upon the land.
There is scarcely q farmer but fully I'M
derstands that large crop of useful
plants cannot be expected from ground
overrun with weeds, and yet many pay
but slight attention to subduing these
pests. They increase from year {"
year, until the land becomes so ioui
that even this very condition of things
is deemed a sort of excuse TO let thehi
take possession Of the soil. ihey De-
