From the Maine Farmer.
Il w O w A Y S.

John Morris and Harry Stedman were
two very likely young men who did not
emigrate, but settled in their native State,
Maine They were industrious, temper.
ate, intelligent. No young lady in their
village but was happy to accept the COM
pany of either. So these two friends
brought their brides one Spring, to the
snug little farm houses opposite each
other. John married Abby Carter; his
prospects were considered the best, for
his farm was as goodas Harry's, and five
hundred dollars would clear il and his
stock of all membranes. Besides,
Abby had few hundreds of her own.
Harry's indebtedness was nearly one
thousand, and his Mary brought no dowry.
The two young women had been school
girls together, and had always called
themselves friends, now they were
mistresses of homes and their spirits
would be shown. So the two that spring
planned and arranged and settled their
surroundings.
Abby had parlor with lace curtains,
an English carpet, and hair cloth furni-
ture. Mary had none; her room was
taken for her bedroom, airy and well
ventilated, but she had sitting room
furnished for comfort, a wide easy lounge,
an easy chair she had herself we'll stuffed
for Harry's rest, u secretary and we'll
filled bookcase, table with a bright
lamp. q sewing chair. footstools, &c.
Then in both houses there WAS the kitchen,
pantry and needed milk-room. besides
Cne small room; Abby made bedroom
of il; Mary found it cool little room TO
eat in, when the kitchen was too warm.
Mary would have some flower borders in
the yard. but Abby would not waste time
so. Next winter there was bright open
fire in Harry's sitting room from morning
until night; John wished the same, but
his wife said she thought one fire enough
for two people, she could not spend her
time tending so many fires. Harry and
Mary sometimes had sleigh ride just
for pleasure; often IN evening in
company.
"Are not you and your wife going to
the Temperance supper tonight. John ?'
said his friend. ITO tell the truth. Harry,

HAIR DYE.

There are great many specifics manu-
featured and extensively advertised for
restoring the hair to its original color. "
The manufacturers of these compounds
state that they are perfectly harmless, !"
free from pernicious drugs, and sure to
make the hair grow and eventually rstore
it to it's natural vigor and color But
chemical tests prove that every one of
these nostrums are strongly impregnated
with the acetate or sugar of lead, which
is deadly poison, and very injurious to
people who use hair tonics adulterated
with 1T. There are laany modern causes
of diseases, often battling to the physicians,
which can be attrib uted to the use OF
poisonous " hair dyes"
The New York Board of Health recent
ly directed Prof. Chandler, the noted
chemist of Columbia College, to examine
several hair dyes" and to report their
chemical composition. The Professor
reports that all half-coloring compounds
contain more or less of sugar of lead, sui
phurnus extracts of ammonia, soda and
other alkalies dangerous to health. Here
is the result of Prof. Chambers expert
ments, showing the amount of lead in
several popular hair poisons.

THE LATEST Dodge.-A very ingeni-
Gus trick, by which gang of swindlers
are making money by mutilating Nation
al Bank notes of the denomination of
five dollars has recently come tc our no
tice. The dodge consists in making ten
bills out of nine, and is so managed that
there is but one pasting to each of the
manufactured notes. The nine whole
bills are taken, and from the right of the
first one-tenth is sliced off from the right
of the second two tenths, and so on to the
number nine, from which nine tenths are
taken from the right, or what amounts to
the same thing, one.tenth from the left.
Number one is passed as it is, with tenth
gone from the right the one-tenth taken
from number one is pasted to the residue
of number two, from which two-tenths
had been taken, these two-tenths are
made to answer the place of the three
tenths taken from number three, and SO
on through. Thus nine five dollar notes
are completed, leaving the original nine
with tenth gone from the left as a tenth
note. 1t will be seen that but a tenth is
gone from each bill, and in a different
place on every one, and little ingeni-
Gus FASTING makes the loss imperceptable
to ordinary observers. 1t is certain that
large numbers of these mutilated bills
have been put in circulation, and oul
readers will do we'll to look out for them
The rogues who have carried out the
fraud were cunning in selecting the de
nomination they did. Larger bills would
have been more closely scrutinized, an6
smaller ones would not be so remunera
tive. The department will not redeem 6
bill which bears evidence on its face thai
it has been tempered with, and we ad

A CHILD HERoINE-On last Thursday
evening, says a Dakota paper, man
whose name we did not learn, and two
sons of Mr.. Fargo, who resides at the
Lakes, in Clay county, went out on the
lake to have swim by the aid OF the
boat. The man could not swim, nor
could heyoungest Fargo boy, about nine
years old the Oldest boy, about thirteen
years old, could. Thus the three pro-
ceeded to put their swimming ideas into
execution. Things went smoothly until,
through a little excitement, the small
boat was overturned. This event occa-
stoned cry for help. There was no one
around the house, or near, only Mrs.
Fargo and her little daughter, about
eleven years old. This little girl, with a
spirit of herolsm equal to Ida Lewis,
rushed to the bank of the lake, jumped
into another canoe and padded out
to where the three persons were strug.
brought all three safe to shore had they
remained cool, but in their anxiety to
grasp something with motive power on
board, they capsized her little craft and
threw her into the water. Luckily for
the little heroine, she could swim AT
this stage of the game, she, with GOODNESS
and courage seldom equalled or surpassed
by men, called out to her little brother to
hold on to her, and for the other two to
hold on to their boat. She thus secured
her little brother, and swan ashore with
him, holding on to her boat. Her oldest
brother saved the man in the same way.
Thus the entire party were saved through
the GOODNESS and courage of little girl
only eleven years old.

The Chattanooga Esai'ro@l Bill.

The Governor. we perceive has ap,
proved the bill introduced at the SEES
sion of the Legislature just expired,
granting subsidy of three millions
of dollars and certain privi-
leges to the Chattanooga Railroad
Company. in furtherance of their pro-
jet to construct a railroad from New
Orleans to IIous' on, Texas, by way of
Donaldsnnviile and Vermillionville
The bill is therefore a law. AS we
have heretofore published the principal
features of the scheme, and as no ma
tcrial alterations have been made in it,,
we do not consider it necessary now to
avert at any length to the different sec
tions Of the law.
BY section first the company are au
rhorized to construct a tract or tracts
f,om the levee to Claiborne street, along
/ Ely sian Fields street anu intervening
streets.
We p.esume from this and subsc
quent provision in section II, that the
company contemplate striking the levee
at New Orleans at two points, viz
at or near Elysian Fields street, in the
lower part of the city, and at Or near
Calliope street in the upper part of the
city.
By section 4, they are authorized to
erect passenger depot On the neutral
ground of Claiborne street, between st.
Louis and Canal or between Canal and
Lafayette.
BY the same section they are autho-
rized to construct a branch line from
any point of the main tract in the par.
ishes of St. Martin or Lafayette, north
westerly towards Shreveport via Alex
audria, also branch from point on
the main line in Iberville parish, north
erly or northwesterly to point on the
Mississippi river in the parish of West
Baton Rouge.
BY section five the company are con-
frmed in previous authorization Feb
II, 1862 to erect passenger depot on
| that portion Of the levee in the city OF
New Orleans, bounded, by Canal, Delta
and Poydras streets, and line parallel
to and one hundred and fifty feet east
erly from Delta street also for the con-
struction Of a freight depot to enclose
the blocks of ground. parts of streets
and portions of levees in said city,
bounded by Girod Water and Calliope
streets, and line parellel to and two
hundred and ninety feet easterly from
Water street, (the title to private proper
ty first having been acquired.) The
rights granted by this section are to be
exclusive in favor of the company.
The grant of three millions of dollars
is conditioned upon the completion and
opening for traffic of the line hence to
Houstoa within three years from the
231 Of May, 1870.
Thrse particulars embody the main
features of the law as it stands upon the
statute book.
