Boys Using Tobacco.

A strong and sensible writer says
a good, sharp thing, and true one.
too, for boys who use tobacco. 1t
has utterly spoiled and utterly
ruined thousands of boys. 1t
tends to softening and weakening
of the bones, and it greatly Injuries
the brain, the spinal marrow, and
the whole nervous fluid. A boy
who smokes early and frequently,
or in any way uses large quantities
never known to make a man of
much energy, and generally lacks
muscular and physical as well as
mental power. We would particu-
larly warn boys who want to be
anything in the world to shun to-
bacco as most baneful poison.
1t igjures the teeth. 1t produces
an unhealthy state of the throat and
lungs, hurts the stomach, and blasts
the brain and nerves.

Sunshine in Parlors.

The horror of sunshine, by no
means too abundant in this region,
has more to do with the fear OF dis
colored curtains and carpets than
it ought to have, especially among
the rich. What signifies the fving

pared with the giving a proper vel

the sun, that makes all things beau
tiful? There are few sights in your
wn-house more cheerful than a
sudden burst of sun into the room,
shifting the floor into so many win
dows, and making the roses on the
very carpet look as if they felt it.
Let them fade in good season as
the others do; and make up for
the expense, dear fashionable peo-
pie, by staying little more at
home, keeping better hours, and
saving the roses on your cheeks

To Parents.

This is good advice to most par
ents; Nothing can discourage a
child more than a spirit of fault
finding, and perhaps nothing can
exert a more baneful influence upon
both parent and child. If your
little one through the day, has been
obedient, and you say to him, MY
son you have been good to day and
it makes me very happy, and if,
with a more than usually affection
ate voice, you say Good night. my
dear child a throb of suppressed
feeling fills his breast, and he re-
solved on always earning such ap-
proval. If your grown son OF
daughter has accomplished some
difficult piece of work, rendering
you some essential assistance; OF
has climbed some steep in the daily
drill of study; or has acquired some
new accomplishment or added grace
or better than all, has gained the
victory over some bad habit or be-
setting sin, acknowledge it, see it,
praise them for it,"

Leaning on God.

Resting on an arm of flesh seem
to be the hereditary disease of
Gods people. They fly first to
this and then to that. but forget
their true and only resting place.
The simple walk of faith, trusting
and leaning alone upon the Invisible
how difficult it is to bring ourselves
to it. We would have some favor
ito child to lean upon, or husband,
or wife, or friend. Our abilities, or
something or other that we cannot
see and handle shall be the golden
calf which we set up and say, These
be thy gods, o Israeli Here is a
great difficulty, then to wean us
from crutches, which are promoters
of spiritual lameness.
/ have never met with a child
that had any fear about the nurses
power to hold it up. She puts her
arm about it, and it trusts itself
with her, leaning wholly upon her.
But we appear tobe afraid of leaning
hard upon God; we cannot leave
ourselves with him-we don't throw
ourselves right back on the Divine
bosom. Yet there is no true rest
to ourselves till we do. AS long as
we are trying to support ourselves
in some measure or degree, we
have not yet come to the rest of
faith. / have known people who
went in the sea to learn to swim, but
they never dare take their feet of
the bottom, and / do not see how
they can swim while they also en-
deavor to stand on their feet.
Standing and swimming cannot
be managed at the same time. So
there are souls that would fain trust
themselves to the goodness of God,
but they cannot be content without
an early prop. They cannot quite
cast themselves upon God and trust
in the stream of his abundant faith
fulness; they cannot walk by faith /;
they must have some way or other
of clinging to the flesh. Oh, for
grace to be willing to believe in God.

Farming a Dull Business.

Talking with a very bright and
ambitious young woman, a farmers S
daughter, where we stopped over
night, she said farming was a dull
sort of life. "Yes" said a young
man of twenty-five years, "there is
no incentive to work; it is all hum
drum, routine, and hard work-no
relaxation of effort and nothing to
stimulate the mind.'
"What nonsense" we replied.
There is everything for stimulus.
Each farm is world itself, about
which those who have lived upon it
know little or nothing, comparative
ly. Suppose, for example, we were
to ask you how many kinds of
grasses-real grosses-grow on the
farm could you tell us with their
correct names, habits and history?
Suppose We ask you how many
species of plants are indigenous on
your farm, and the names of these
plants, time of towering, color of
flowers, soil and locality in which
they grow-could you tell us? Sup
pose we were to ask you how many
speices of birds visit your farm
every year, the time of there arrival
and departure, there habits while
with you, their names and habits
while absent from your locality the
the balance of the year-could you
tell us? Suppose we ask you how
many species of insects are to be
found on your farm-their names,
history, habits, whether injurious
to you or not, upon what trees or
plants they live, when and how Of
ten they appear, and how long they
stay-could you tell us? Suppose
we ask you to show us specimens
of the grasses and other plants, the
birds, insects, etc, which may be
gathered within your boundary
fences, could you show them to US?
And yet, if you were to undertake
to acquire the knowledge we have
by these inquiries you
would find your life too short; yet
the knowledge you would gain, the
interest you would soon take in it,
and the knowledge of your own i'm
potency YOU would acquire would
prove to you that it is not the farm
that is the dull place, but it is you
who are dull!Moor's Rural Ne,c-
Yorker, !

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, 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 on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton 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 proper
ties, 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 a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR-DREssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

sets, says, "The constituents are

this particular, and when they discover an
exception to the rule, they are not slow in
