THE BLOOM OF AGE.-A good
woman never grows old. Years may
pass over her head, but if benevO-
lence and virtue dwell in the heart
she is as cheerful as when the spring
of life first opened to her view
When we look upon a good woman
we never think other age; she looks
as charming as when the rose of
youth first bloOmed on her cheek
That rose had not faded yet; it will
never fade. In her neighborhood
she is the friend and benefactor.-
Who does not respect and love the
woman who has passed her days in
acts of kindness and mercy We
repeat, such woman cannot grow
old. She will always be fresh and
buoyant in spirits, and active in
humble deeds OF mercy and benevo-
lcnce. If the young lady desires TO
retain the bloom and beauty OfyOuth,
let her not yield to the sway of fash
ion and folly; let her love truth and
virtue, and to close off lie she will
retain those feelings which now
make l'fe appear garden OF sweets
ever fresh and ever new.

How TO GET AN EDUCATION
Boys say often, "we want an educa
ton, but we are poor and father i,
poor, and we can't get it; SO we are
going to learn trade, or get into a
store or do something else.' Now
let me say, every boy that wants an
education, if he will bend his force
to it can get just as good one as
he wants. The way is open. Edu-
cation does not come through acad-
elnies and colleges and seminaries ;
these are helps, but it comes by
study and reading, and comparing
All the schools and colleges in tn,

and what is true OF this pursuit il

VARNIsH FOR SHOES.-lt is a bad
plan to grease the upper leather OF

Put half a pound of gum shellac-

several times day then add

hours shake it again, and add ono
ounce of lamp black. lfthe alcohol
is good it will all be dissolved in
three days-then shake and use.
If it gets too thick, add alcohol ;
pour out two or three teaspoonfuls
in saucer, and apply it with q
small paint brush. II the materials
are all good, it will dry in about five
minutes, and will be removed only
by wearing it off, giving u gloss al
most equal 10 patent leather. The
advantage of this preparation over
others is, it does not strike into the
leather and make it hard, but re-
mains on the surface, and yet ex'

for harnesses, and does not soil when
touched, as lamp.black preparations

How GEN. HARNEY BECAME

How CEN. HARNEY BECAME
POPULAR WITH THE INDIANs-It
is stated that Gen. Harvey, whom
the untutOred' sayages of the plains
persist in believing the biggest
white chiet in the country, never de-
ceived an Indian. If he made
promise, he fulfilled it; if he threat
ened punishment he more than car.
ried it out. Kind and lenient with
the good Indian, he was severe with
the bad. This course gave him
great influence. But the circum.
stance which gained him the unlim-
tied admiration of the red man is
thus related by a correspondent
with the Indian Commission
"The General, who is sixty-s
years of age, six feet three nches
in height, and as straight as an ar
row, in his younger days used to
excel every Indian on the Plains
with whom he came in contact, in
running, jumping, and wrestling
lie is known universally among the
Indians as the 'Fast Runner He
says he was never badly pressed
but once in running, and that was
many years ago, when he was en-.
camped at the MADAM village on the
Missouri River. The Indians had
brought their fastest runner and
challenged the General to run. All
the tribes in that part of the coun-
try were present, and all were liz
high glee, thinking they had a sure
thing. Gen. Harney prepared him
self, and went out about half a mile
from camp across a ravine, which
was as near as the Indians were al
lowed to come to his camp, and met
them. The indians were so conf
dent of winning the race that they
bet everything they possessed on
the result, and the officers and SOL
diers of Harney's command backed
their favl rte to the fullest extent.
The Indians would bit buffalo
robe against plug of tobacco, or q
pony against a few pounds OF sugar
or coffip. The odds they considered
in their favor.
The distance run was eight hun.
dred yards, and one from each side
was chosen to start them and as
Judges of the race, The Indian got
about fifteen feet the advantage Of
the General on the start, but sup
supposing he could beat the Indian
easily, he did not mind it much at
first, but it was long distance to
gain, and by putting forth every
nerve he only beat the Indian by
three feet. The Indian dropped up
on the ground at the end of the race
exhausted, and was so chagrined
at his defeat that he would never
, come near the General again. The
, General would only accept few
tritling things from his winnings,
but gave the rest back tothe In
dams. From that time he has been
known among the Indians as the
fast runuer,' and his influence is IN
proportion to his popularity.
