Starting in Married Life.

will tell you a story of my own experience
in starting in the world. When | was very
young and very poor, | married a very poor
young man; he worked out by the day or by
the month, on the farms, and in order that the
stormy days should not consume the income OF
the fair ones, something must be done. What
should it be? He had no trade for indoor
labor, except making shingles. Then he had
no shop, and it would cost so much to buy
lumber and build one. Heretofore he had
spent the stormy days like hundreds of young
men in the country, lOunging about public
places in the village, or at some nelghbOr S.
He had formed the habit and liked it right
well.
Now, said |, "James, if we ever get any
thing ahead, the winter must not consume
what the summer yields"
True" said he, bu. what can do?"
! | heSitated moment, looked at the neatly
secured floor of our little log cabin and snow
white recess and window curtains, which, by
the way were pieced out from worn out gar
ments.
"Get neighbor Wilson to bring you some
timber, get it sawed, and make the shingles
for half "
Where" said he; here in the house?"
Yes, here in the house, said |.
Year after year passed. In our kitcheT
barrels were hooped, chairs were bottOmed
barley forks were made and sold, and used t
pack the shingles. And what of it if L did hell
him saw the small timber? All this was dom
in bad weather, and the children were growing
up enjoying the liberty Of making all the lite
desirable, whenever they were released from
their hours Of study, No one on earth love
neatness better than l. but learned, in time
to sacrifice neatness, in measure, to prOSperll
and happiness.
Husband is nervous and irritable by nature
and it will not do in all cases to try to teac
old dogs new tricks, so | have picked up afte
him, boots hats and clothing washed an
cOmbed him almost every Sunday morning
; and, as to the boys. they have made all sort
of farming implements in the house when the
could not play out of doors and whatever IL

done. | make many efforts to teach the boy

Now for the result of my course We hay

A writer in the September Sc,iJner gives
a curious instance Of history Tor fction) repeat
ing itself She tells story of an old colored
minister who, in sermon on hell pictured it
as a region of ice and snow, where the damned
froze through eternity. When privately asked
his purpose in representing Gehenna in this
way, he said: 81 don't dare to tell them people
nothing else. Why, if were to say that hell
was warm, some of them old rheumatics would
be wanting to start down there the very first
frost" Washington Irving uses substantially
the same idea Of changing the future to suit
different tastes in his description of the Dutch
town of Brock, famous for its cleanliness He
says that the most fervcnt cxhortatons were of
no avail in converting the matrons there until
the dominic pictured the heavenly city as one
Of purity that surpassed even that Of Brock
itself. That sermon converted the town.

HICKSITE QUAKERISM.--S their origin,
the Hicksites have been diverging more and
more. A few of them-the old stOck-still
dress in broad brims, scoop bonnets, and plain
cut garments of the drab hue; but the rising
generation has been gradually shedding the
old coat and putting out a more stylish and
variegated plumage. Gay birds many of them
now are. In times gone by, when any one was
little awkward in the terpsichorean art. he
was said to have quaker foot but now, in
that direction. he is said to dance like a llck

or Friends language, is associated with all that
is sweet, winning, and modest; but when you

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully. up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop.
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except In
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

MANY persons say they have
tried almost every remedy that
has been recommended for hu-
mors, and they are no better
now than when they COM
menced them, and they have
no confidence in anything that
is advertised to cure Salt
Rheum, Erysipelas, and all sim
liar humors. We would say to
these that there is now a rem
edy that as yet has never failed
OF curing those diseases. 1t acts
upon an entirely different prin-
ciple from anything ever offer
ed for them; it throws humor
out Of the blood through the

mel through which the system
can be entirely freed from them

fered, talked for some minutes.
Small now for the first time
thought best to make a move
in his own proper person. He
could hardly have been afraid
of Ralph's acquittal. He may
have been a little anxious at
the manner in which he had
been mentioned, and at the
significant look OF Ralph, and
he propably meant to excite
indignation enough against the
school master to break the
force of his speech, and secure
the lynching of the prisoner,
chiefly by people outside his
gang. He rose and asked the
court in gentlest tones to hear
him. He had no personal IN
tel est in this trial, except his
interest in the welfare of his
former School-mate, Mr.. Hart
sock. He was grieved and dis
appointed to find the evidence
against him so damaging, and
he would not for the world add
a feather to it, if 1t we're not
that his own name had been
twice alluded to by the defend
ant, and by his friend, and per-
haps his confederate, John
Pearson. He was prepared to
swear that he was not over in
Flat Greek the night of the rob-
berry later than ten o'clock, and
while the statements of the
two persons alluded 10, whether
mallciously intended or not,
could not implicate him at all,
he thought perhaps this lack of
veracity in their statements
might be ofweight in determin'
ing some other points. He
therefore suggested-he could
only suggest, as he was not a
party to the case in any way
that his student Mr.. Walter
Johnson, be called to testify as
to his-Dr. Small's exact where
abouts on the night in question.
They were together IN his office
until two, when he went to the
tavern and went TO bed.
Squire Hawkins, having ad-
justed his teeth, his wig, and his
glass eye, thanked DR.. Small,
for a suggestion so valuable
and thought best to put John
Pearson under arrest before
proceeding further. Mr.. Pear
son was therefore arrested, and
was heard to mutter something
about a "passel of thieves
when the court warned him to
be quiet.
Walter Johnson was then
called. But before giving his
testimony, | must crave the
readers patience while l go

The question has often been
asked by those interested, "can
| have my gray hair restored to
its original color, without COL
oring the skin? and can my
locks be thickened ups" We
answer "rhey can;" and would
advise you to read a treatise on
the hair which is published by
h. Z. Hall & Co., Nashua,
N. H., who send it free on ap-
plication. They are the pro
prietorS of Halls Vegetable
Sicillan Hair Renewer. We
learn from it, the hair, in a per-
feet state of health is constant
ly falling out, and new hairs
grow from the same tubes; but
in case of any disease of the
scalp, or by the use ofalcoholic
preparations, the hair tube be-
comes contracted at It's mouth,
and prevents the new folllcle
from reaching the surface.
Their preparation will create a
perfectly healthy condition of
the scalp, and, by its tonic
properties, will preserve and
strengthen the roots of the
