The Vanity of Shoddy.

There is dreadful ambition abroad
to be "genteel." We keep up appear
ances too often at the expense of hon.
esty; and, though We are not rich, yet
We must seem to be so. We must be
respectable, ," though only in the mean
est sense-in mere vulgar outward show.
We have not the courage to go patient
ly onward in the condition of life
which it has pleased God to call us !;
but must needs live in some fashionable
state to which we ridiculously please to
call ourselves, and to crafty the vanity
of that unsubstantial genteel world of
which We form part. There is con-
stant struggle and pressure for front
seats in the social amphitheatre; in the
midst of which all noble, self-denying
resolve is trodden down, and many fine
natures are inevitably crushed to death.
What waste, what misery, what bank
ruptcy, come from all this ambition to
dazzle others with the glare of appar-
ent worldly success We need not de-
scribe. The mischievous results show
themselves in thousand ways-in the
rank frauds committed by men who
dare to be dishonest, but do not dare to
seem poor; and in. the desperate dashes
at fortune, in which the pity is not so
much for those who fail, as for the hum
dreds of innocent families who are SO
involved in their ruin.

No Profit in Milking too Long.

1t is generally thought best, so far as
my knowledge extends, to let dairy
COWS go dry three, or at tleastt two months.
My own experience would give three
months as about the best average length
of time cows should 60 dry before drop
ping their calves in spring; and this 1
find best. without regard to the general
health of the animal or the amount of
milk to be produced the following or af-
ter seasons. Cows that arc MIXED too
long, either get thin in flesh, and give
but little milk, and that little of poor
quality, OF. else require a large amount
of nutritious food to keep up a good
supply of milk and the animal in good
flesh. My rule is to feed literally as
long as do milk, and when COW gives
less than about two quarts of good
wholesome milk, dry her off and lessen
the feed. A dry COW needs bnt about
two-thirds the amount of fodder re-
quired by COW of the same size which
gives milk, so that there is no present
profit in milking too long, unless dairy
products are very high, to say nothing
of the damage by impairing the future
usefulness of the cow.-Country Gen
ttemdn.

For my life Is waning fast;

For my eyes are growing weaker,

Let me see its golden beauty,
Ere 1 20, in Heaven to dwell.
Call my friends around me. mother,

Let ne tell my vision, mother,
Brighter, far, than hand can paint;
Tell them how my Savior beckons
To me from the shining shore;
Have them promise there to meet me,
When 1 cross the river DER.
Give me now your hand, my mother.
Kiss me now, before die.
Meet me in that land, dear mother,
In the land beyond the sky;
Angels now around me hover,
Heavens beauties round me shine
Jesus-in thy arms shelter,
Take me to that home of Thine
Listen to the music, mother,
As it floats upon the air.

Soon III be angel there;
Do not weep when am TAKEN
See, the shining silver tide
Then she raised her eyes to Heaven.
Closed them-sweetly smiled-and died.

Poke Root

Wherever Poke Root grows, 1t has local
reputation as Blood Purifier, and for the
cure of Rheumatism. With all this local
reputation, and the praise of distinguished
Physicians (Drs. Coe, Lee, King, Wilson NJ.
Hunt, Grifits, Copeland and others,) who
have tested its medical powers; it has been
neglected by the profession at large, as much
through want Of proper appreciation Of
its merits, as knowledge of the proper way
to prepare it for medicinal use. DIR. Oliver
Crook, Ia physician who devotes his entire
I time to the duties ofhis profession has fully
tested the active medicinal qualities of Poke
Root during the Last % years, and unhesi
tatingly pronounces 1t TO have MORE MERIT
for diseases depending ON depraved con-
dition of the blood,-than any and all other
articles named in the Materia Medica. Un-
der his instructions our Chemist has COM
bined the active medicinal qualities of Poke
Root with the best Tonic Preparation OF
Iron, and we offer this preparation to the
public under the above name.

A True Hero.

A boy about nine years old was bath
ing, one day when, by some mischance,
he got into deep water and began to
sink. His elder brother saw him and
ran to save him, but lacking strength
or skill, he also sank to the bottom of
the river. As the two drowning broth
ers rose to the surface for the last time
they saw a third brother, the young
est of the family, running down
the bank for the purpose of try
ing to save them. Then it was that the
dying nine-year-old acted the part of 4
hero. Struggling as he was with death
he gathered all his strength, and cried
to his brother on the shore, ,s'Don't come
in or father will lose all his boys at
once,"
Noble little fellow! Though dying,
he forgot himself, and thought only OF
his fathers grief. His brother obeyed
his dying command, and was spared to
comfort his father when his two dead
sons were taken from the river clasped
in each others arms.
Boys, you are not called to be heroes
in this way, but You are called to con-
slider the feelings of your parents, and to
study how to avoid giving them pain.
The best way to do this is love them
dearly. Love will not only keep you
from hurting their feelings, but it will
make you sources of great joy to their
hearts. Blessed are those children
whose words and deeds make sweet
music in their parents souls!

ES~ According to the reports Of mis-
sionaries and travellers in Persia, Jew
form of religion is rapidly spreading ip tho
now unhappy country Of the ancient fro
worshippcrs. The new religion recognizes
the old and new Testament, and the .Ko.
ran, as all holy books, aud accepts as true,
points Of faith believed ID by Jews, Chris
tiaDs and Mahommedans. II IS Believed
that nearly 100, 600 persons have adopted
this new religion, as the guide Of their
lives. They practice circumcision, like the
Jews; have stated times for praying, after
the manner of the Mahommedans and
accept the leading ideas Of Christians in
relation to Christ, whom they believe will
appear again, but not bodily. They do.
not believe in the future punishment of
the wicked, but hold that they are denied
Immortality. Like the Quakers they are
non-resistant. They comuiend tho giving
Of aims, but forbid begging. They recon-
mend marriage, but forbid secoud mar
riases. Divorces are forbidden on any
ground, and no form Of concubinage is al
lowed. Men are allowed to shave their,
faces, but are not allowed to self or nsas
opium or any form of intoxicating drugs or
liquors. The wearing Of the veils by
women is discouraged, and they ara al,
lowed to sit at the same tables with meu,s
and cnjoy their society. u .S
