in which Harpsr's Nagasia. would not be all
appreciated and highly welcome guest. There
is no monthly magazine an Intelligent reading
family can less afford to be without. Many
magazines are accumulated. Harper sis edited.
There is not a magazine that is printed which
shows more intelligent pains expended on its
articles and mechanical execution. There is
not cheaper magazine published. There IS
not, confessedly, s. more popular magazine IN
the world-New England Homestead

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 follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied 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 pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's 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 dandruf, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a 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 a grateful perfume.

A LEGAL MARRIAGE.

Eh r. NFNHoA
I will offer n case in point to show
the consequences of n legal marriage,
all done up in Monroe county, Virginia,
according to rule. Two gentlemen
Byrne and Acknowledgement i'm
mense estates there, and, in fact ruled
the county. MIR. Alexander had an
only daughter, beautiful, refined and
and highly cultured. He had two sons.
Mr.. Byrne had an only son. Andrew,
who from his early days showed strong
signs of wiclledness. His father was so
much engrOssed in riches and their
harassing cares that he paid little atten-
ton to his sons surroundings and gem
eral department. Andrew Byrne and
Mary Alexander received their educa-
ton at the same Academy. She had
good opportunity to observe the man
ners and morals Of young Byrne. He
was very profane and gross in his man
ners, and she detested him. There was
young man in that school-James
Shanklin-whose parents were in mod
crate circumstances, yet free from want.
They were well respected, but yet in
the plebian ranks. Studious, moral,
possessing elegant manners and n
handsome exterior, no wonder that Miss
Mary highly esteemed him. Their
/ friendship was sincere and pure, and
I from such friendship the road to ardent
love is short. At the age of seventeen
Miss Mary became the affianced Of
james Shanltlin. Her parents became
aware of this and brought her away
from school, and locked her up in a
/ strong upper chamber of their fine brick
mansion in the county town. They
then acquainted her with the fact that
an agreement had been made between
them and the parents Of Andrew Byrhe
some wears before that she shoulu oe-
coma his wife, which would hold their
estates together in connection ohs 'i''', /,
nat the control of herself in law anu
: therefore must submit to their WILL
And furthermore, she was made ac-
Iau.i,,ad with the fact that she was to
remain locked up until her marriage
AZ and that If her lover should at
tempt to steal her away death would be
his portion t1 A1l rr
Thus matters were. Andrew Byrne
was permitted to visit her in her room,
and often talked to her of their future
wealth and splendid establishment.
But he never intimated that he loved
her. In fact his association with base
women had rendered him callous and
hardened in heart, and he was incapa,

Infants Wardrobe.


Mrs. T. w. s. gives us her method Of
cutting and making an infants ward
robe, which is certainly a very good one
Why should babies be bandaged up
tightly any more than young calves, or
pigs or colts? The Chinese eschew ban
dages altogether, and they are q popular
and ancient people. Chinese babies sff
alone at an earlier age than ours do, and
it is claimed that the freedom of their
muscles from compression is the cause
of their greater strength. Mrs. :. SAYS:
~ find it unnecessary to keep the old
fashioned band on an infant more than
one week.n
/ think even the finest flannel too
rough for a babes tender skin; so nv
last baby wore next his skin a long
sleeved, high-necked shirt, made of fine
Nainsock. The sleeves made Raglan
style are much easier to put on than
when cut in the other style. Next this
shirt is one made of all-wool flannel,
with flat pearl buttons set on at regular
intervals around the bottom of the waist
to fasten the skirt of flannel, cut gOred,
and having n hem with buttOn-holes TO
correspond with the buttons on the
waists; in Winter | use two flannel waists
and skirts. If one desires, a fine muslin
skirt may be added, cut and fastened in
the same way, but ] have never used
them. Then the little slips are high
necked, long-sleeved, gored, and, when
made Of fine and pretty material, are
very attractive. A wardrobe made in
this way needs no alteration until the
child begins to walk, as the backs are all
fastened with button-holes and a string
in the neck. The suit looks very nicely,
As it never pushes up on the child, and
is always rOOmy enough, which cannot
be said of bands fastened with pins.

many persons, and every one says there
could be no Improvement. Little stock

Ored flannel, lined with Canton flannel
and fastened with three buttons, are re-
quired, and | find these shoes stay on,
without hindering the circulation, much
better than knitted socks tied with
string. No mother need fear her little
ones back will grow weak without tight
bands, which are the cause of much suf-
fering to the poor little things.-N. J..

woman. Poor Mary wept, and besought

woman. Poor Mary wept, and besought
him to relinquiSh her and marry some
other woman. She told him that her
heart was another's, and that their
welded life, if thus commenced, would
be to them utter misery, though they
might have million of money. But
he told her that hfs and lIer parents had
made up the match years before, that
there should be no fiinching on his
part, and that she had better consent at
once to their marriage, and thereby
come out of her prison.
The heart of poor Mary and that Of
her lover were wrung with deep an
guish. They could not possibly see and
be with each other, and all possible
chances of writing letters were guarded
or cut of.
Three months rolled by, and hope,
"the anchor 90 the SOUL" gave way.
Her parents and young Byrne and his
parents were inexorable. James Shank
lin, with almost broken heart, left for
Illinois. Poor AIary's health began 10
give way under her confinement, and
ut length she agreed to the marriage.
A noted clergyman was sent for from
the next county, with S1O3 marriage fee,
and many were the guests invited to
that princely wedding. When Mary
came out of her room in bridal attire
she was pale as corpse, and deep
seated anguish was depicted in her face.
At the close of the marriage service,
which, under the garb of religion, lasted
q half hour, she tainted and fell on the
carpet. She was iH tar, HoW, Mrs.
Byrnc. She kept her bed for six weeks
and never smiled again. Her libertine
husband took full license in visiting
his former paramOurs and carousing
and drinking. He left her to the care
/ OF servants, and but seldom saw her.
At the end Of twelve months she be-
came the mother of son-an heir to
immense wealth. In six months more
she passed over the river.

Aner Twenty Years.

Written on the Great Plains, Opposite my
-other'- grave, near Fort Laramie, May 5th
Adown the dead and distant years
Ny memory treaes the sands ofume,
And blighted hope a vision rears,
Enriched by soHtudes sublime.
And down the mystic, dreamy past.
IN chastened mood Hnger now,
As DER lese pralries, old and vast.
Move lines Of oxen, long and slow;
Their rough-ribbed sides and hollow eyes
And listless gaze and lazy tread,
As under clOudlcss. burning skies
Our way DER tracSless wastes they led,
But visions are Of long ago.
To-day an iron horse, ''Fhe Storm
All painting. rushcs DER the plain;
His breath with st.am = quick and warm
As on he Ihunders with our train.
Afar, the Rocky Mountains rise,
Their rugged sleeps adorned with snow,
And o'er the hiH the antelope hies
And Indians wander TO and fro.
The budlo gazes from afar,
Where crst in trust serene he fed,
And ne was wont al will to tread
Anear our wagons. sure and slow.
Fort Laramie acrOSs-away,
Beyond yon hills that intervene
Ny nem'ry sees IS on that day
Just twenty years ego twas seen.
There, in the echoing hills hard by,
Surnamed "The Black adorned by woods,
Ny mother laid her down 10 die
IN those grand, awful solitudes.
The wild coyote yet roams al VIII,
The antelope and buffalo,
The timid hare and sage-hen stlll
In freedom range, and come and 20,
While Indians gaze in scoTnful moods.
Gone are the oxen, patient hrutcs,
And drivers, with the oath and jest;
OF ruder days they were the fruits,
Aud toiling well they did their best.
Their days is past; and now, al ease,
We glide along AT rapid pace,
Gazing abroad while thoughts OF these,
The days Of y6re, take present place.
And ] am sclfforcetful too;
For through the long, eventul past,
Since last sazed upon the blue,
Arched dome above these Plains so-vast,
! fnd Of twenty wears no trace.
Ny mother sleeps, dear God, as slept
Her peaceful form when We, that day,
Laid her to rest, marched on and wept,
Too sad TO talk, too dumb TO pray.
