DESPAIR.

Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through the cypress trees!
Who, hopeless, lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marble play; '-
Who hath not learned, i'm hours of faith,
The truth, to flesh and sense unknown,
That life is ever lord of death,
And love can never lose its own.

Reason my guide, but she should sometimes

Partially by the waysidc, while traced

Around me. She should be my counselor,

Impulses from deeper source than hers,
And there are motions in the mind of man
That she must look upon with awe.-Bryant

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folliclcs are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophicd and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
OF fouling the hair with n pasty sedi-
mcnt, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inJu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted,
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

Not long since man bet large sum
that he would offer to sell genuine two-franc
pieces for one franc each ON the Point Neuf,
Paris, and would not be able to dispose of
half a dozen in the course of ten hours. OF
course he won his bet, for every one sus-
pected his coin to be counterfeit. AS the
wager became universally known, a scamp
recently took his stand on the Point Neuf
and offered two-franc pieces for fifty centmes.
To people disposed to examine, he whis-
pered: "They're genuine-please buy-I
am doing this to try and win wager.o All
his coins were counterfeit, and he had dis

The slave trade is as yet very far from
being extinct. Between July l, 1869, and
January 1, 1872, the English squadron off
the East Coast of Africa captured twenty
four regular equipped slavers. On these
vessels were found over seven hundred ne
groes. The figures afford no idea of the real
state of the traffic. The slavers have largely
forsaken their old hunting grounds on the
African coasts, which are carefully guarded
and very dangerous, and find easy and unn-
terrupted pursuit of their nefariOus trade in
the South Seas. The reports which come
from there are simply appalling, and have

and having doors cut to fit the shape of the
holes. Literature finds place in a leaning

General WashingtOn's Farm.

The farm of General Washington, at Mt.
Vernon, contained in his days 10000 acres
OF land in one body-equal to about fifteen
square miles. A great portion of it was a
vast valley or basin surrounded by a range
OF hills; third of it was a neck of land on
the Potomac river, with Little Hunting Creek
bay on the east, and Dogne Creek bay on the
west. These creeks are navigable for about
two and half miles up from the river chan
mel, and certainly would have afforded the
General great facilities, as they now do our
farmers, in boating and landing manure or
fertilizers on the ground, but it is not proba-
BILE that the General did anything at this.
1t was divided into farms or fields of conve-
nient size, by deep bitches, which may be
traced now, and showed that one of them
contained as much as 500 acres.
These fields were situated at distance of
two, three, and five miles from the mansion
house. The walls of sixteen square barn
are now standing, and quite curiosity. 1t
was made of brick and quite large, situated
three miles from his residence. He had two
grist mills on the place, one run by water
power, having, judge, twelve-foot wheel.
and race two miles in length. The mills,
the foundation walls of which are standing,
were at the head of the Dognc Creek bay,
and it is supposed that boats ran right to the
Hill uOOE. Ie Quiet mill Is SalQ 10 nave
been propelled by oxen or horses. The Gen.
eral delighted to visit the farms above spoken
of every day in pleasant weather, and was
constantly engaged in making experiments
for the improvement of agriculture.
Some idea of the extent of his farming
operations may be formed from the following
facts: In 1877 he had $50 acres in grass,
sowed 600 bushels of oats, 700 acres of wheat,
and as much more in corn, barley, potatoes,
beans, peas, &C., and $50 acres with turnips.
His stock consisted of 14O horses, 1I2 cows,
236 working oxen, heifers, and steers, and $50
sheep. He constantly employed $50 hands,
and kept "a plows going during the whole
year, when the earth and the state of the
weather would permit. In 1880 he slaugh-
tered $50 hogs q hope not the "Virginia Pine
Roosters'') for the use of his own family, and
for provisions for his negroes, for whose
comfort he had great regard.
Ut the ten thousand acres, but two hundred
now belong to the mansion, and the Wash
lngton farm has been greatly reduced. But
small portion of this is now cultivated.
