without undue praise, is keeping up us

From it, as well as the Democrat, we
are pratified TO learn that the business
of Jefferson has greatly revived. 1t is
always sad to see n town-a wholecom'

and honorable dealing, sink into com
parative obscurity. Jefferson deserves
well, has large capital in business as
well as in brick and mortar, and is a

CARRIERS. -Here is something from the
Book of Beauty that is strictly local here
or anywhere else. Women should read
it Z:
"a handsome leg is rarity, we had al.
most said an impossibility, among American
women The reason of this is the place
where they wear the garters. No French
woman, no English woman Of cultivation
now a-days wears her garters below her
knees. 1t is ruinous to the shape of the
calf More than this it has serious conse-
quences Of another kind. The principal
vein of the leg, vena saphenabrevis, runs
just beneath the skin until it nearly rea ,hes
the knee, when it sinks below the muscles
Now, if this is constructed at its largest point
by tight garter, the blood is checked in
its return to the heart, the feet are easily
chilled and liable to disease; the other veins,
swollen into hard blue Knots, become va
ricose. as it is called, and often break, form
ing obstinate ulcers. This is picture which
physician sees nearly every day. With
the garter fastened above the knee all this
pain and deformity is avoided. but it is still
better to wear no garters at all, and to sus-
pend the stockings by tapes around the
waist In this case, however, well-ftting
stocking is needed"

When the Hay is Down.

When the hay is down, my darling
When the hay is down
And | lean on its waves with your hand IN mine
While we watch the golden sunset shine,
And the purple shadows that come and go,
AS the dancing leaves fit to and fro,
feel that this world is all too fair,
In spite of its hours of study and care
When the hay is down my darling,
When the hay il down.
When the roses bloom, my darling,
When the roses bloom.
And we walk through their bowers hand-In-hand
Like souls that wander in fairy land,
While gales of perfume about US float,
And the song bird trills his silver note.
Oh this world is all to fair, too fair,
In spite Of study, in spite of care,
When the roses bloom, my darling,
When the roses bloom
When the stars shine out my darling,
When the stars shine out,
And the solemn depths of the azure skies
Are studded with hosts Of radiant eyes,
That mark our footsteps with loving light,
In the dreary air of the soft still night,
feel, though this world is all so fair,
That fairer one awaits US there,
Where the stars shine out, my darling,
Where the stars shine out.
