Ladies who admire blonde hair, but are
afraid to use poisonous dyes, should use
Rhine wine, lemon juice, mucilage, jujube
paste, or maple syrup, for bathing the
head. After several applications the hair
is said to turn a much brighter color, even
turning the roots.

of the German Gazette, has taken partner
for life; a domestic partner as wife This
is good-even better than good, for it may
have the effect to settle him down little,
which he needs, physically. 1t is pleasant
to know that he has gone the way OF all
good flesh, and it is expected he will obey
at heart one Bible injunction. Only one

Discovery OF COFFEE Toward the mid.
die of the fifteenth century, poor Arab was
travelling in Abyssinia, and, finding himself
weak and weary from fatigue, he stopped near
a grove. Being in want of fuel to cook his
rice, he cut down tree which happened to be
covered with dried berries. His meal being
cooked and eaten, the traveller discovered that
the half burned berries were fragrant He col.
lected a number of these, and on crushing them
with stone, he found that their aroma in
creased to great extent. While wondering
at this, he accidenty let fall the substance in
to can which contained his scanty supply of
water Lo, what miracle the almost putrid
liquid was instantly purified he brought it to
his lips it was fresh and agreeable and in a
moment after the traveller had so far recovered
his strength and energy as to be able to resume
his journey. The lucky Arab gathered as many
berries as he could and having arrived at Alden
in Arabia, he informed the Mufti of his dis
covery. That worthy divine was an inveterate
opium smoker, who had been suffering for years
from the influence of the poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion of the roasted berries, and
was SO delighted at the recovery of his former
vigor that in gratitude to the tree he called it
Cannah, which, in Arabic signifies force And
this is the manner in which coffee was discov-
ered

Silence.

How eloquent is silence Acquiescence, con-
tradiction, difference, disdaln, embarrassment,
and awe, may all be expressed by saying moth
ing. 1t may be necessary to illustrate this ap-
parent paradox by few examples.
DO you seek an assurance of your lady-love' g
affections? The fair one confirms her foDdest
hopes by compliant and asserting silence. =
Should you hear an assertion, which you may
deem false, made by some one of whose verac
lty polteness may withhold from openly declar-
ing your doubt, you denote difference of opin-
ion by remaining silent. Are you receiving a
reprlmand from superior? You mark your
respect by an attentive silence. Are you COM
PEELED to listen to the frivolous conversation of
fop? You signify your opinion of him by
treating his loquacity with contemptuous 81
lence. Are you in the course of any negotia-
ton, about to enter on discussion painful to
your own feelings, and to those who are con-
cerned 10 it? The subject is almost invariably
prefaced by an awkward silence
Silence has also its utility and advantages
And first, what an invaluable portion of domes-
tic strife might have been prevented, how often
might the quarrel which, by mutual aggrava-
ton, has, perhaps, terminated In bloodshed
have been checked at its commencement bv a
udicious silencel Those persons only who
have experienced them are aware of the bene.
tcial effects of that forbearauce, which to the
exasperating threat, the malicious sneer, or the
unjustly imputated cupability, shall never an
swer word: Secondly there are not wanting
incidents where the reputation, fortune. the
happiness, nay, the life of a fellow creature,
might be preserved by charitable silence.

To a Young Girl.

You think you love the man who is coming
this Sunday night to visit you And he acts
as if he loved you Suppose he declares him
self, and asks you to be his wife, Are you pre-
pared to say to him, II love and will trust you
through life with my happiness, and the lives
and veal of our children?
He is jolly, gay and handsome, and all the
darts of Cupid are twinkling in his eyes, but
will those eyes always find expression from the
love Of true s1uIY
Tonight he says many pleasant things and
draws pretty pictures of the future
Does be go Tomorrow to work, which gives
promise of the ful6llmen} of your desires in
life.
Do bis ambitions and achievements satisfy
you?
Does his everyday life shine with the noble
endeavors of trustworthy mani
IF you think, and desire companion in your
thinking-one who can unlock the deepest
depths of your mind-to what strata of hu-
manity does he belong in the scale Of excel
lence and morality?
Is he doing all he can to build up future USE
fulness and happiness, in which you can share
and feel blessed
These are the questions which the experience
of after years make many women weep in bit
terness of soul that they had not thought of be-
fore they answered Eyes.

POETRY.
Marian May.

Marian May was our hamlet's pride,
Worthy queen TO be,
For of all the maids in the country side
Was none so fair as she.
Her hair was like silk, and her eyes like wine
Liquid and dark and deep;
They sparkled and danced in the broad sunshine
Or melted in rosy deep.
Lovers by scores for her white hand sighed
OF high and low degree;
And many came riding from far and wide,
Her sweethearts fain to be.
The squire had plenty of golden store
Such as for him was meet;
And he wished no better, and asked no more,
Than to lay it all at her feet.
But she put his gifts and vows aside
Laughing and out spake she,
81 never was bern for rich mans bride,
So cannot mate with thee"
The parson he came, with his face SO grave,
Gentle and sleek anG prim,
And said the best way her soul to save
Was TO take and marry him.
But she only opened her eyes full wide,
Wondering. and QuOth she,
"Were there never man In the world Deslde
You'd be far too good for me-"
The Colonel he swore right round oath
Little one, be my wife!
I've scars and pension enough for both,
If yOuli share a soldiers life
He vowed that he would not be denied
Low on his bended knee;
But she tossing her head with pretty pride,
Said, u never will wed with thee"
Robin came back from the sea one day,
Out of the distant West,
And the child with whom he used to play,
A woman he clasped to his breast
She sobbed and kissed, and she laughed ane
cried
"Welcome, my love-" said she;
''For woe and for veal, and for whate' er betide
I will fare the world through with theeW

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT The sea is the lar
gest OF all cemeteries, and its slumberers sleep
without monuments. All other graveyards, in
all other lands, show some distinction between
the great and small, the rich and poor, but in
the ocean cemetery the king and clown. the
prince and peasant are alike undistinguisbed
The same waves roll over all-thc same renui-
em by the minstrels of the ocean is sung to
their honor. Over their remains the same
storm beats and the same sun shines, and there
unmarked, the weak and powerful, the plumed
and unhonored will sleep on until awakened by
the same trump.
