ADVICE TO GIRLS.

Somebody gives the following advice
to girls. 1t is worth volumes of fiction
and sentamentalism; Men who are
worth having want women for wives.
A bundle of gew. gaws, bounded with a
string Of flats and quivers, sprinkled
with cologne and set in carmine saul
cer-this is no help for man who ex-
poets to raise family Of boys on bread
and meat. The piano and lace frames
are good in their places, and so are rib
bons, frills aud tinsels; but you cannot
make dinner of the former nor a bed
blanket Of the latter; and awful as
such an idea may seem to you, both
dinner and bed. blankets are necessary
for domestic happiness. Life has its re-
alilies as well as fancies; but you make
it all decorations, remembering the tas-
sells and curtains, but forgetting the bed
stead Suppose man of good sense,
and Of course good prospects, to be
looking for a wife, what chance have
you to be chosen? You may cap him
or you may trap him, but how much
better to make it an object for him to
catch you. Render yourself worth
catching, aud you need no shrewd mother
or brother to help you find market.

Heavier the Cross.

Heavier tho cross, the nearer Heaven;
No cross without, no God witilm
Death, Judgment from the heart are driven
Amid the worlds false glare and din.
Oh, happy he with all his loss,
Whom God hath set beneath the cross.
Heavier the cross, the better Christian;
This is the touchstone God applies,
How many a garden would be wasting,
Unwet by showers from weeping eyes.
The gold by fire is purified;
The Christian is by trouble tried.
Heavier the CROSS, the stronger faith
The loaded palm strikes deeper root;
The vine juice sweetly issueth
When men have pressed the clustered fruit
And courage grows where dangers come,
Like pearls beneath the salt sea foam.
Heavier the cross, the heartier prayer,
The bruised herbs most fragrant are,
II sky and wind were always fair,
The sailor would not watch the STAR
And David's Psalms had meier been sung
II grief his heart had never wrung.
Heavier the cross, the moro aspiring;
From Wales we climb to mountain crest
The pilgrim Of the desert firing,
Longs for the Canaan Of his rest.
The dove has here no rest in sight,
And to the ark she wings her flight.
Heavier the cross, the easier dying;
Death is friendlier face to see;
To life's decay one bids defyng,
From life distress one then is free.
The cross sublimely lifts our faith
To Him who triumphed over death.
Thou Crucifed the cross carry,
The longer, may it dearer be;
And lest faint while here tarry,
Implant thou such heart in me;
That faith, hope, love, may flourish there
Till for the cross my crown woar.

The Laborer.
By W. D. GALLAGHER.

Stand up--erect Thou hast the form,
And likeness of thy God who moro
A soul as dauntless mid the storm
Of daily life-a heart as warm
And pure as breast e'er wore.
What then ? Thou art as true man
AS moves the human mass among;
AS much a part of the great plan
That with creations dawn began,
AS any of the throng.
Who is thine enemy the high
In station, or in wealth the chief
The great, who coldly pass thee by,
With proud step and averted eye
Nay nurse not such belief.
If true unto myself thou vast,
What were the proud ones scorn to thee?
A feather, which thou highest cast
Aside as idly as the blast
The light leaf from the tree.
No :-uncurb'd passions, low desires,
Absence Of noble self-respect,-
Death, in the breasts consuming fires,
To that high nature which aspires
For ever, till thus Checked
These are thine enemies-thy worst
They chain thee to thy lowly lot;
Thy labor and thy life accurs'd.
o, stand erect, and from them burst,
And longer suffer not !
Thou art thyself thine enemy
The great what better they than thou 2
As theirs, is not thy will as free
Has God with equal favors thee
Neglected to endow?
True wealth thou hast motifs but dust !
Nor place, uncertain as the wind
But that thou hast, which, with thy crust
And water, may despise the lust
Of both,-a noble mind
With this, and passions under ban,
True faith, and holy trust in God,
GU art the peer Of any man.
Look up, then that thy little span
OF life may well be trod

lOus contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec.
ton of the country, that the public scarcely need to
be informed Of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitutions
and invites the attack Of enfeebng or fatal diseases
without exciting suspicion of its presence. Again,
It seems to breed infection throughout the body and
them on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hdeous forms, either on the
surface or among the vals. In the latter, tuber-
Giles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver or it shows
its presence by eruptons on the skin, or foul ulcer
atoms on some part of the body. Hence the occa-
sional use of bottle of this iSdrsdpdriUa is adj.
visable, even when no active symptoms of disease
appear. Persons afflicted with the following com.
plants generally find immediate relief, and, at
length cure, BY the use G, of th5s S4RS1pdRih
letter, Salt Rheun,, Scdtd Head, RinDWo,m,
Sore Eyes, Sore Ears, and other eruptons or
visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the
more concealed forms, as Dgspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia,
and the various UIcerOuS affections Of the muscu-
lar and nervous systems.
Syphilis or VeneredL and Mercu1idI Diseases
are cured by it, though long time is required for
subduing these obstinate malades by any medicine.
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. LeucOrrhGa or Whites, Uterine
UlcerdtiOnS, and female Diseases, are COM
monty soon relieved and ultimately cured by its
purifying and nvigorating effect. Minute Direc-
tons for each case are found in our Almanac sup.
piled gratis. Rheurnatisn, and Govt, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
In the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Intian,-
nation of the Liver, and J0ul,dice, when arising,
as they often do, from the ranking posons in the
blood This SARSAPARILLA Is great re-
storer for the strength and vigor of the system.
Those who are LanDuid and Listless, Despon-

symptomatic of Readiness, will find immediate
relief and convincing evidence of its restorative
power upon trial.

Arkansas INCIDENT.

While Kansas was undergoing phle-
botomy, a quite conspicuous character
lived and edited newspaper in Leaven-
worth, named McLain. He was dissat-
isfed with the exist condition of par
ties, and undertook to organize new
one, for that purpose
ANNOUNCING A MASS CONVENTION
of the people, irrespective of party, to
be held at Big Springs, On the day APP
pointed Mac was there, but the 'people"
were not to any considerable extent.
Mac waited patiently for the mass to raj
", but in vain. At last in disgust, he
mounted a convenient barrel and, adj
dressing the half dozen or so Of curious
spectators, said "FcllOw-Citz in
my judgment this meeting has Aunked i
Ineraupon he descended, and falling in
" II some jolly democratic friends, rode
down to Lawrence. On the way they
made stoppages at occasional groceries, y
and took frequent pulls at their TASKS.
Arriving at Lawrence on Sunday, all
pretty full, they stopped at hotel, and
Mac soon fell asleep in his chair, When
he awoke, it va, dark, and
FEELING THIRSTY
he started out for drink, He made for
the first light he saw, suppoSing it to
come from some bar-room, and brought
up at a Methodist church. 1t happened
that just about that time Jim Lane, who
had fallen from grace, thinking to "make
his calling and election TO the United
States Senate sure was seeking read
mission to the Methodist fold. Hog
Johnson, so-callcd, was a somewhat no.
torious Methodist political preacher Of
Lawrence, and happened to be the pas
tor Of the flock into which the thirsty
Mac had strayed, and Jim Lane was on
the "anxious seat. Mac listened with
true decorum to the proceedings, unit
finally Lane arose, and, protesting &
"godly sorrow for sin, promised to live
"Soberly, righteouSly," for the future,
and proceeded, as was his wont, to make
NEAT POLITICAL HARANGUE,

THAT LITTLE LAME AGAIN.

A beautiful young damsel, who de-
lighted in the rare and euphoneous ap-
pellation of Mary, possessed a diminu-
tive creature Of the genus Ian, kinuS,
whose capillary appendage was as white
as particles of CONCEALED moisture COM
monty called snow. Everywhere that
Mary peregrinated, the little quadruped
was inclined to accompany her. He
followed her to the Literary Institution
one day, proceeding Numerically OPP
posed to the rules thereof for it melted
the members of the youthful generation
to loud ordinations and frolicsome in
fantile gambols, to see one of the genus
lam kinus where only the genus homo
were accustomed to congregate. Then
the pedagogue unanimously excluded
and communicated him, but still he
fingered in the vicinity of those hallow-
ed precincts, in patient waiting until his
visual organs were gladdened by the APP
pearance of the aforesaid Mary. Then
without delay he propelled himself rap
idly toward her, and trustingly laid his
chronological developments upon the
prolongation of her shoulder, as if to
say: 81 am no longer faint-hearted.
