ABOUT BrLIousNEss.-A clergyman comes
in to see me a dozen times year about his
aiIiousuess. Biliousness is common mala-
DIV. know great many people who are
bilious. They have no dyspepsia, they never
had symptom of dyspepsia in their lives /;
they are only biioms.
Now this word biliousness is G sort of res
pectable cover for piggshness. People are
not bilious who eat what they should.
Reader are you bilious (Rather hard
question after the above hard word). Let
me prescribe for you. If you fellow my pre-
scription, and don't get we'll, write me, and
in the next addition | will announce my err
ror.
First, on getting up and going to bed drink
plenty of cold water.
Eat for breakfast, until the bilious attack
passes, little stale bread. say one slice, and
a piece as large as your hand of boiled lean
beef or mutton. If the weather is warm,
take instead a little cracked wheat or oatmeal
porridge.
For dinner take about the same thing. &c
without your supper.
Exercise freely in the open air, producing
PRESENTATION, once or twice a day. In a few
days your bilieusness is all gone. This re,
salt will come. even though the biliousness
is one of the Spring sort, and one with which
you have, from year to year, been much OF
fiicted

ale, whisky and dozen other Spring medl-
zines, are simply harharous.-Dto LesciS-

when 10 Plant Strawberries.

We receive many inquiries on this point
The best time, by far, is early in spring, or
Just when the plants commence growing
If the ground is in good order and the work
we'll done, not one in a thousand need fail
They will begin to grow at once, and if the
sort is productive, like the Wilson, will bear
small crop the same season. But two
things are important. they must be kept per-
fectlv free from weeds. which are not to be
allowed to grow an inch high, and the run
ners must he cut once week during all the
latter part of the season. as fast as they push
out 1t is well worth while to leave one row
with the runners on, in order to see the great
contrast in the vigor Of the plants in autumn
and in the size and excellence of the fruit
next year. The second best time to set out
the plants is about midsummer. or during the
half dormant state Immediately after bearing
Take up the youngest we'll rooted plants
trim the roots to two and half inches long,
take off all the old or full sized leaves, spread
out the roots like an umbrella and settle the
earth about them hy means of quart or two
of water. Then mulch an inch thick with
fine old or fresh manure, which will keep the
ground moist and prevent it from crusting af-
ter watering. If this work is we'll done,
not more than about one in fifty will fail.
Spreading out the roots like an umbrella
helps to insure their success and from our
own experiments, the plants nearly double
their growth for time as compared with
those which are set in narrow hole made
with dibhle. The removal of the large or
outside leaves lessons the amount Of moisture
required to keep up the freshness of the
plants, ard when the new half-opeaed leaves
which remain have expanded. the plants be-
gin to grow vigorously. Even in times of
severe midsummer drought, we have been
quite successful by this mode, and the plants,
making strong growth all the rest of the
season, bore fair crops the following year.
The third time is in autumn. The earlier
the better. in order that the plants may get a
strong foothod before winter, and escape the
effect of its rigors. Late planted beds should
never be left unprotected through winter, but
should be partly covered with coarse straw,
or still better, by evergreen branches. Soft
compact straw or leaves will smother the
plants and do more harm than exposure

HAIR REsroRERs.-A correspondent Of the
Country Gentleman, Il. F. b., ITO Milk street,
Boston, says - he has under his care "two
invalid ladies. One has been paralyzed on
the right side for nearly three years, and has
been utterly helpless most Of that time. Her
vision had been very imperfect; her knowl-
edgd Of past events has utterly departed from
her recently she appears to be recovering
her recollection, and can count with tolerable
accuracy as high as 90" lie attributes her
prostration entirely to the use of q popular
hair restorer. "The other case is not so bad.
but bad enough. For the past year, her eyes
have been an occasion Of constant torture.
The retina has become so sensitive to light
to make dark room indispensable. Wheels
of burning fame revolve constantly before
her eyes, attended by lightning-like flashes.

victim to the poisonous lead contained in the
same popular nostrum."

NUMBER 81.
YOUNG MEN.

Our young men are growing up badly.
There cannot be more melancholy sign OF
evil tendency and the impatience of honest
work which characterize our juniors. They
forget that it was the hands of their fathers
which laid the foundations Of the magnificent
structure of empire into tho possession OF
which they are coming. They forget that
what was begun in labor can only be c9ntin-
ued by labor. They forget that the State
cannot even be kept in repair, but will rot
and crumble to ruin without labor. Ii is not
so much lack of industry in our youth. as inn
patience Of small results. recalctrancy
against step-hv-step processes, that has
brought them to this condition. The misno-
mer--sa eminently Yankee in its inception
Of labor, saving machines" has wrought u
palpahle and most Injurious deceit upon them.
They Lave come to consider man also ga
meant to be a "lahor-saving machine" and
that it Is an iEdignitv and waste of time and
capital for the American Young man to put
his hands to any task. He will not pillow,
unless by steam, nor NOW, nor rake, nor
grub save by horsepower. He looks down
upon trades; ne sccrns a?prentlceships; and
the manual tasks which cannot be avoided he
is anxious to delegate to immigrants, TO shea
then Cainese," or to some other RtinS terrG,
who are not yet innoculated with American
ideas"
Our young men seem entirely to forget
that the "labor-saving machine" is not meant
for the miser, but for the husbandman that
its end is not to spare muscle. but to econo-
mize it; that it has no other object. in short,
than to make the results of labor larger. and
enable it's effects to be seen at q greater dis
lance. The block-and-tackle at the granary
door is not meant to save the young man his
labor in hosting, but to enable him to hoist
ten bushels or ten barrels, where now he can
only hoist one. And tho American man can
never becomea Collaborating machine" with.
out becoming at the same time lazzaroni. q
curse to himself and to his nation. Yet the
disposition to shirk honest labor, to hunt for
shortcuts and by-ways to riches, to substi-
tute trick for endeavor, and "cuteness" for
skill, is one of the worst signs of the time.
an alarming evil of daily increasing proper
tions, of daily more rapid spread. The cry
ing need of this age, AMI this land, is skilled
labor for town and country good mechanics,
good farmers. Instead of trying to supply
this need, our youth are engaged in wild
scramble for "easy places" for public Office,
clerkship and the like the means of fortune
and independence are at their elbows. hut
they grasp so eagerly and selfshly at the
shadow that the substance escapes them per-
petually. y Washington Patriot.
