PERILs ON THE RAIL.

hour, should think We&ere just half a
mile above the Annapolis junction, and the
first thing we knew-there being no one to
whistle and wake up the switch tender
We turned off into the Annapolis road and
went down the wrong track at full speed.
Imagine our CONSERVATION when just at
this moment we heard the whistle, not a
half mile ahead Of us, Of the Annapolis

Here we're two trains on the same track ap-
preaching each other at the dizzy speed

young man with a sad smile.
"Why?" was asked.
"Because we are about to pass in our

This wonderful vegetable re-
storative is the sheet-anchor of
the feeble and debilitated. As a
tonic and cordial for the aged and
languid it has no equal among
stomachics. AS remedy for the
nervous weakness to which wo-
men are especially subject, it is
superseding every other stimu-
liant. In all climates, tropical,
temperate or frigid, it acts as a
specific in every species Of disor-
der which undermines the bodily
strength and breaks down the
animal spirits.

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 dandruf, 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. o In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a 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 PEErA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

To fell Inc heaven of my love, my love!
The waving boughs Of the alders sigh to her.
Her feet are kissed by the buttercup king!
The summer down breeze creeps softly nigh to her,
To play with her hair and to sing-to sing!
Along she VANDERBILT! Why delay?
Poor heart that is breaking for Millicent Mayi
All! Millieent May, though winter is over,
And rain and ruin are passed and gone;
Though miner has CIV II a love and lover,
The love is alone and the lover alone!
The winter has given us tears and sorrow

Let us live in the summer, love, y,.u and l.

And echo adown the valley beneath us
For a moments rest, till 1t scars above

Away away! through the new-mown hay,

Fish for the People.

1t is surprising into what favor with the
public the new art of fish-culture has so sud
denly grown. A dozen years ago, Fish Farm
ing was but a name-in fact, hardly more
than the shade of name to many well-in-
formed people. A few enthusiasts took the
matter in charge, experimental, produced
practical results, and succeeded. knowledge
of the art and business was extended, and the
whole land became anxious to enjoy the fruits
of a system at once so simple and so
profitable. There are now Fish Com
missions in most of the States, and National
Commission besides, and the work of stocking
the waters OF the Union is fast progressing.
Fish culture promises to be a most important
industry, and its value to the people will soon
be manifested in cheaper food. Salmon and
shad have been started in the rivers of the in
terror, and so fal with the most hopeful en-
couragement. They are credit to the con-
fiding gentlemen who have trusted the native
fish instincts and believed that a salmon in
the Allegheny or a shad in the Genesee would
behave just as his )ngener does in the An
droscoggin or the Hudson. A large impor-
tation OF salmon eggs is to be made from Ger
many, and new variety is to be introduced
into our waters. The stocking of lakes,
ponds, and streams is rapidly pushed, and in
a short time there will be an ample supply of
fish in all the waters of the interior.-N. Y.

tain correspondent says: Those stages are
towed by six horses, steered by tho most
elegant young gentlemen ever seen, whose
cheeks always glow with the blush of youth
and innocence, and whose eyes are always
on the alert for holes in the road instead of
the young ladies in the stage. Some portions
of the road is along hillsides, and the preci-
pice below is very frightful to many women's
nerves. and they turn pale and gasp out /:
ooh! driver, do be carefulv' and the like,
but he goes on his winding way. One lady
asked the driver whathe would do if the stage
went down the bank?
''Roll down." said he.
"Do you ever have any accidents on this
road ?" said she.
''Somet mes, but not often," was the re-
ply.
What do people say that get hurt %
Nothing, for we knock them in the head
at once" was the answer. which did not at
all reassure the lady.
