A reporter upon Western paper, speaking
OF certain fair creature, remarked that the
profusion and color of her hair would lead one
to look upon it as though it was spun by nim-
BILE fingers of the easy hours, as they glided
through the bright June days, whose many
sunny rays of the light had been caught in
the meshes, and were content to go no fur
ther. This is better than saying the girl's

ed to run their worthless potions against

cannot understand what foundation there is
for its amazing popularity. The explanation
is simple enough. The reputation of the world
renowned tonic is founded upon a rock, the
Rock OF EXPERIENCE. All its ingredients are
pure and wholesome. How then could tricks
ters and cheats expect to rival it with COM
pounds of cheap drugs sand refuse liquor, or
with liquorless trash in state of acetous fer
mentaton? OF course the charlatsns have
come to grief Their little game has failed.
Their contempt for the sagacity of the COM
munity has been fitly punished. Meanwhile
PLANTATION BITTERs seem to be in q fair way
of eventually superceding every other medici-
nal preparation included in the class to which
it belongs. In every State and Territory of the

rheumatism, and all ailments involving a de-
ficiency of vital power jyS-eod1w&w1t

and physical debility, gravel, diabetes, reten-

these ailments promptly subside by an occa-

Is THE mind a ponderable or an imponder-

scribable something which cannot be grasped,

When we reflect that power of endurance
can be impaired to the brain, and that weak

cannot but conclude that the subtle power is

Of all the water in his system, the

weigh about forty pounds. If this

bones and ashes about seven or
eight pounds. OF the forty pounds
of dry matter, one-lifth Of it at least
is mineral matter. The material
burned up was the flesh, fat, vessels,
nerves, brain, DC, and which con
tanned about one pound and half
per cent. Of mineral matter. The
most Of the inorganic material is
contained in the bones, and without
this material no bones could exist.

THE MODEL WIFE.

Rev, DR.. A. A. Willis, in recent
lecture delivered in Brooklyn, de,
scribed the model wife of ancient
times. Among other traits of hel
character, to which he referred, was
her industry, He said:
She was the model woman Of that
period, for this aye and for all age,
TO come. Costumes and customs had
changed, but all the essential iea.
lures Of womanly character are as
fitting now as then. The speaker
then read the description Of her IT,
the Book Of Proverbs, and remark
cd that all that human genius had
laborcd for centuries to embody in
marble, on canvass, or in the pages
Of poetry, for conception Of that
which was true and graceful and
beautiful in woman, we might chal-
lcnge the whole world to bring Il
picture Of woman worthy to be com
pared with this. The whole picture
was lighted up with the glow Of a
most cheerful activity. She not OH
~ superintended the duties Of her
household, but worked with her
own hands. The daughters of mod
ern society might here find Il use
1ul hint. The idea prevailed, now
a-dayS, to Il great extent, among
young ladies, that work was de-
grading; that it belonged to com
mon'pcople. The modern idea Of wo-
manly beauty was an etheral crea-
turc, with fair features and a frail
body, supported by whalebone. The
hearty, vigorous, blushing rose used
10 be the emblem Of beauty, but it
Is now the lily, even though lily
white be made accessory to such a
result, 1t might be truly sad of
them: They toll not neither do they
spin, yet Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these
The idea Of domestic industry being
vulgar is one Of the conceits of mod
crn days. Neither rich nor poor
were exempt from the divine law
that industry was hcalthful and
proper. You, ladies, TO be model
wives should be INDUSTRIOUS

SMALL FARMS PROFITABLE,


At a late meeting of the Norfolk
Farmers Club, Gen. B. F. Butler
made the following truthful remarks
in regard to small, well-tilled farms
He alluded to the small farms OF
France, and said that nation is not
as large as our State Of Texas, but
France produces moro wheat than
we do in the whole of the United
States, small as she is. How is that
done. She has about the same mum.
Der of inhabitants that we have, and
yet in 1868 her product "of wheat
was three hundred and fitymillions
Of bushels against two hundred and
forty millions Of the United States.
We talk about providing for all the
markets of the world, but i'm 1865
we sent to England nine million
bushels Of wheat, while France sent
eleven millions dollars worth of but
ter to spread on the bread made
from the wheat sent by the United
States. These statistics will teach
YOU three things: First, that to car
ry on any kind Of business, especial
~ farming, needs great personal
thrift and economy; secondly, for
farmers to have fair play a lower
rate Of taxation is required; and last
~ that small farms are much more
profitable than large ones.
