All, here is another of the aston
ishing female farmers-a curly-hair-
ed blonde in Pittstield, Massachu-
setts. She manages a farm, plants
and digs potatoes, hoes corn, can
swing a sythe, and is great at driv-
ing horses; she feeds the stock, does
the dairy work and draws the wood
in winter. Last week, when the
quicksilver was down to zero, this
noble virgin was seen starting for
the woods with her horse and sled,
"the rosiest, heartiest, healthiest
and happiest young woman in Berk-
shire" 1t is stated that she is not
engaged" ;" which demonstrates to
our mind that Berkshire young gem
tlemen are sadly deficient in COM

Our Memphis contemporaries are
calling for State Convention to re-
wise and amend the Constitution
The rough estimate of the cost of
another convention is S1SO,OO0. The
question to be decided is whether
amendments TO be made win be
worth so much money. One of the
"crying necessities" for a conven-
ton mentioned is the repeal of the
pOll-tax qualification for voters, to
eyade which a bill has to be passed
at every sessiOd of the Legislature,
suspending the law for two years
more. This can be kept up indefi-
nitely, which shows the absurditv
of the poll-tax qualification, or else
that the Legislature has power TO
suspend the whole Constitution at

Father, Thou knowest best,
This thought is all my stay
l see but just the step ahead,
Thou knowest ali the way.
To me, as on l walk,
The way seems all obscure,
But Thou wilt guide my trembling feet,
And make my footsteps sure.
Fen though the darkness falls,
And hides the path from view.
Thy rod and staff direct me still.
And will my strength renew.
Father, the way seems long,
Ny strength Is very weak:

And words Of comfort speak.

JOY in God is happiest of all ioys'
There are other sweets, but this is
the virgin honey dropping from the
comb. JOY in God is also most
elevating joy. Those who joy in
wealth grow avaricious: those who
10Y in their friends, too often lose no.
biltiy of spirit but he who boasts in
God, grows in God. 1t is a solid
joy, and he who joys in God has q
good reassn for rejoicing. He has
arguments which will justify his
joys at any time. He who reioices
in God shall never be confounded
or ashamed, world without end. 1t
is an abiding joy. III rejoice in the
sun it sets, If in the earth, it shall be
burned up; if in myself, l shall die;
but to triumph in one who never
fails, and never changes but lasts
fOrever-this is a lasting joy. In a
word, it is celestial Joy. 1t flows
like the river of God, which rises
at the foot of his throne, and waters
the celestial streets, while trees on
either side bear all manner of fruits.
Blessed is the man whose nature
strikes its roots deep into the banks
of this river-he shall bring forth
/ his fruit in its season, his leaf sha Il
not wither, and whatsoever he doet b

The Excellence OF Tennessee Iron,

\ gentleman, who is now greatly
advanced in age, says that he has
kept an account of the explosions of
steamboat boilers in the United
States since 1872. Six hundred had
exploded, causing the loss of 5000
lives. Out of all the boilers that
exploded none were made out of
Tennessee iron. He says that he
has never heard of a boiler made
out of Tennessee iron that has ex-
ploded. It's durability, elasticity
and strength is unsurpassed by any
iron that the world has ever pro-
duced.-hnOcCiHe Press &c Herald.

The great end of prudence Is to
give cheerfulness to those hours
which splendOr can not gild, and
accumulation can not exhilerate.-
Those soft intervals of unbended
amusement, in which q man shrinks
to his natural dimensions and
| throws aside the ornaments and dis
guises which he feels IN private to
be useless membranes, and to
lose all effect when they become IA
miliar. To be happy at home is the
ultimate result of all ambition, the
end to which every enterprise and
labor tends, and of which every de-
sire prompts the execution. 1t is.
indeed, at home that every man
must be known by those who form
a just estimate of his virtue or fe-
/ licity; for smiles and embroidery
are alike occasional and the mind is
often dressed for show in painted
honor and fictitious benevolenee.

De The. Ohio Democratic
State convention met on the
9Th inst, and nominated a full

William Allen, and for Lieuten-

The convention planted itself
fairly and squarely on a straight
out Democratic platform; On the
side ofequality in taxation, JUS
tice to the farmer and laboring
man, and in opposition to rings,
the Credit Mobilier fraud, the
congressional salary grab, Ce-

Railroad Bonds,

Mr. John M. Bass, of Nash
vile, President of the Nashville
Life Insurance Company, was in
our city this week, negotiating
with Col. L. d. Myers, President
of the Duck River Valley Railroad
Company, for the bonds of said
road, to be issued at an early day.
We understand tina: the terms
have been agreed upon; and,
while the Nashville Life has made
itself secure, has at the same time
been very liberal towards the new
railroad. Mr. Bass has agreed to
buy twenty thousand dollars
worth of bonds, at par valuation,
or lend the railroad Company
that amount of money, or, as
much as fifty thousand dollars, if
necessary. Some anti-railroad
men have been predicting all the
while, that the bonds would not
be worth anything, and that no
money would ever be raised on
them. 1t must be agreeable to
the President and Directors to be
able to thus dispose of their
bonds, even before they are pro-
vided. We understand that the
same company is negotiating for
some of Marshall county's bonds
on the same terms.
The Nashville Life Insurance
Company deserves great credit
for putting its money out here, and
by 50 doing rendering great SER
vice TO the State by aiding in such
important and valuable internal
improvements. The very people
who pay the money into the
Company, are getting the use OF
it, and it nevsr goes out of the
State Columbia Herald.

BI Beast Butler is out in a
lengthy defence of the congress
sional back pay business-a-
vowing himself the originator
and promoter of the grab. y
He is especially severe on those
congressman who returned their
share Of the plumber, and those
who accepted it and gave it to
charitable objects on the ground
that it was not honestly theirs
to keep. As to the latter class,
he argues, and correctly too, we
think, that if it was not theirs to
keep, it certainly was not theirs
to give away. The letter is a
compound of brazen effrontery,
ribaldry and blasphemy, and if
it can possibly better his chances
for governorship of Massachu-
sets, we are sorry for the state
of morals which must exist
there.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured By Its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophisd and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with q pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep 1t clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling Oh, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and prevents tho forma-
ton of dandruff, which Is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which mako
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found 50 desirable
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
