Winter is now fairly upon us, and the teams
are fastening to the lumber woods in various
parts of the country. Our advice to every man
wke goes TO the woods, be he captain, cook,
teamster, or any other man, Is to take along a
good stock OF Johnsot's Anodvne Liniment
and Parsons Prgatiue Pills. Many months
of labor lin the aggregate) may be saved by

The Marriage Question.

l have seen very many cases of the
supposed can't-afford-to-marry disease,
and examined many, and always found
the symptoms to prove another COM
plant altogether. The diagnosis had
been utterly false. 1t was don't
to-marry trouble that was affecting the
patient. This was the story: Forinosa
had dwelt in marble halls, and clothed
herself in acres of purple and fine linen.
Marriage with her means twenty thou
sand year. So / look at my two thou
sand, and can't afford to marry. Or the
story was this: Pulchra wishes to dwell
in marble halls, and elothe herself in
acres of purple and fine linen. Marriage
with her, therefore, means twenty thou
sand year. So look at my two thou
sand year, and can't afford to marry.
Formula-wise and truth-wise it is this {:
" Foolish girls wish to live idle, PAM
pered, and fashionable lives, and foolish
young men are seeking after the foolish
girls" In such complication, mar
riage loses its meaning, and it is very
natural for young man to say, al can't
afford to marry" The truth is, he can
not afford to marry after the style afore-
said, and he does not wish to marry in a
sensible style, 20 which his two thousand
would say amen. But there are other
than foolish girls in the world. There
are girls of simple tastes, modest mien,
Industrious habits and unselish hearts.
You are not apt to find them in the
highways or in conspicuous places. They
make the best wives in the world, while
the Saratoga thing makes the worst.
Look for them at home, not in society
the fzzing, bubbling cauldron, where
pride, vanity, and vapidity, seasoned
with vice, sputter into assimilation.
Find them helping in nursery, pantry, or
kitchen; not sauntering with brazen
stare on frequented promenade, OF
dwelling among French novels in the
boudoir.--H0Ward Crosby.

BLACK S1LKs.-Blsck silk costumes
have again proved to be the most popu-
lar of the season. AT various times la
dies have declared themselves wesry OF
black dresses, and have adopted the new
tints; but they have invariably returned
to black, since nothing else is at once so
distinguished and so convenient. Two
thirds of the latest importations consist
of black suits, and it is said that Worth's
costumes for Parisiennes are almost
wholly confined to black and dark green
bronze silks

Mr.. Greeley in California.

In 1859 the late Horace Greeley made
his famous visit to California, travelling
thither by way of Kansas, Pixies Peak
and Utah. He was everywhere well re-
ceived, and in the larger places in Cali
fornia was welcomed by the municipal
authorities and citizens, whom he pub
licly addressed on politics, the Pacific
Railroad, sc. Among the stories told
of that visit is one that will be recalled
with peculiar pleasure: The citizens OF
Placerville had prepared to fete the
great journalist, and an extra coach,
with extra relays of horses, was chartered
of the California Stage Company to car
ry him from Folsom to Placerville-dis-
tance forty miles. The extra was in
some way delayed and did not leave
Folsom until late in the afternoon. Mr..
Greeley was to be feted at seven o'clock
that evening by the citizens of Placer
vile, and it was altogether necessary
that he should be there by that hour. So
the stage company said to Henry Monk,
the driver of the extra, Henry, this
man must be. there by seven o'clock to-
night" And Henry answered, "The
great man shall be there" Such ride
journalist never got before. Mr. Greeley
was terribly jolted, being tossed about
the stage without mercy, and to all his
expostulations to lessen his speed Monk
would only answer, "Pve got my or
ders work for the Californy Stage
Company, do. That's what work for.
They said, Git this man through by
sewing An this mans going through,
you bet Ger-long WhooepP and he
did get through by "seving." Mr..
Monk was on time. There is tradition
that Mr.. Greeley was indignant for a
while; then he laughed and finally pre-
sented Mr.. Monk with brand new suit
of clothes.

No CURE.-We have read and heard
of a great many medical absurdities in
our day, but a "cure" for fever and ague
which is published in The Clereland Her.
aid beats them all. When the patient
feels that the chill is coming on, he is
advised to take teaspoonful of common
salt and water, and TO deposit like
quantity of the solution in each stocking
next the foot. Jones says he is ready to
bet 100000 land put up the money
that this will not cure fever and ague,
or fever without ague, or ague without
fever; aud like sum that it will not
even cure fool of folly.-N y. Tribune.
