work. The moving spirits in this organiza-

One hundred and twenty five such have join
ed the club. They hold public meetings
which are addressed by those who were once

IMMEDIATELY.-If every family knew the
value of Miss Sawyers Salve, they would i'm
mediately purchase box and never be with
out it. If your Druggist is out of this Salye
and negects to keep supplied, send seventy
five cents as directed in another column, and
say you saw the advertisement in this paper.
Not among the least of the invaluable prop
critics of Miss SAwYER's SALvE are its bene-
scalp in five or six different parts it promotes
the growth Of the hair, prevents its turning
gray, and on bald spots, it produces new
growth of hair. No lady should be without
this invaluable article as an indispensable
cosmetic for the toilet 1t eradicates dandrutf
and disease from the head, and blotches and
and pimples from the face. TT
TWENTY YEARS YoUSGER.-To say that
hundreds of maids, wives and widows losk
twenty years younger than they are in con-
sequence of the complexional freshness de-
rived from the use of Hagans Magnolia Balm,
is simply to state an absolute fact, which
might be promptly verified by direct testi-
mony if ladies were as willing to tell their
ages as to use the best means of making
themselves lovely. Nature sometimes, but
very rarely, crowns the charm of perfect fea-
lures with complexion of exquisite clear
ness; but even then time soon begins to make
inroads upon the velvet cheek, the fair white
brow the ivory bust, the rounded arm. TIC
preserve the glory of woman unblemished
even after the meridian of life has been
passed, it is only necessary to use daily this
cooling healthful vegetable preparation.

ThankSQiVinu.

BY the combined orders of President
Grant and Gov. Perham, to-day will be
observed rs Thanksgiving in Maine. Its
principal amusements tor the boys will be
eating geese and turkeys and shooting
each other in cunning expeditions. The
girls will dine with the old folks, and
get themselves up tearfully in frills and
furbelows for the evening dance, mainly
for the purpose of seeing who can look
the most bewitching. The old folks will
sit around after dinner, drink tom and
Jerry, and tell how lively things were on
Thanksgiving day when they were young.
All there are no such boys and girls now,
and no times like the old times Probably
the young folks Of now-a-adays think diff
terently,
We trust that to our readers generally
the day will come with all its time honor
ed observances in full array. There
should be the family gathering about the
festive board-the grandparents, parents.
children, uncles, aunts, ncphews and
neices; the huge Drowned turkey in the
centre, tlanked by lesser fowl; the smok-
ing plum pudding; and more characters
tic of the occasion than all, the real old
style pumpkin pie. That pastry com
pound is the very essence of the occasion
What says Whittier when he sings OF
Thanksgiving and lis associations, rs on
ly Whittier can p
All! on Thanksgiving Day, when from East and
from West.
From North and from South, come The pilgrim
and guest:
When the gray-haired New Highlander sees
round his board
The old broken links Of affection reStored
When the care weared man seeks his mother
once more.
And the Worn matron smiles where the girl
smiled before:
What moistens the lip and what brehtens the
eye,
What calls back the past, like the rich Pumpkin
Pie?
To one and ALL whether the eatherers
around the old hearth-stonc, or the wan
derer in other lands, we wish u happy
celebration Of the day, and terder mem
cries of Thanksgivings long gone into the
silent past.
