l made a plantation of the On

L made plantation OF the On
tario raspberry large and
strong growing sort of black-cap
which roots from the up-early
last spring, and the stocks set a
good many berries; but l gave
them a good handing. l also had
some fruit from the stocks OF a
new plantation of the Clarke
raspberry (red) which is propag-
ated from suckers. Ifyou want
to know all about strawberries,
go and talk with Matt Crawford,
who has charge of the grounds of
Mr.. Dodge, at Cuyahoga Falls.
Matt. is an old East Cleveland
boy and was a great prize taker
at the strawberry shows over
there. l used to bite my name
into his Margarts and Sterlings
and such; and this season l have
done the same with his new won
der, the Mormon, which is all that
a good strawberry should be. Mr..
Dodge is now the proprietor of
the other sorts, but declines to
sell any of the plants, though he
has acres of them.

How to Return a Favor.

An old Scotchman was taking
his grist to mill in sacks thrown
across the back of his horse, when
the horse stumbled, and the grain
fell to the ground. He had not
strength to raise it, he being an
aged man, but he saw horseman
riding along, and thought he
would appeal to him for help.
But the horseman proved to be
the ncbleman who lived in the
castle hard by, and the farmer
could not muster courage to ask a
favor ofhim. But the nobleman
was gentleman also, and, not
waiting to be asked, he quickly
dismounted, and between them
they lifted the grain to the herse's
back. John-for he was a gen
tleman too-lifted his Kilmar-
mock bonnet and said, .My lord,
how shall / ever thank you for
your kindness ?" Very easily,
John," replied the nobleman.
"Whenever you see another man
in the same plight as you were in
just now, help him, and that will
be thanking me-"

HAR

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
HAZE to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and siIken. 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 HA1R-DREssNG ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
lions, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massachu-
setts, says, @The constituents are

ceIlent quality; and 1 consider it

"a forfeited life. This, as have
said, is had l have long wished
for. So wonderful a privilege was
it to be in a position to give life!
My first thought was, -sWhere

swiftly enough to the cells" /

peared cruel; until, at the very
threshold of the prison, l be-
thought me thus: aHow can l

The man will die if / tell him, so
traet will be the revulsion. He
IS dead in law, and he is already
in the bitterness of death.n So,
with life in my hand, / stand be-
fore the victim in his cell. His
face is wan; his knees feeble.
His vacant eyes have no tears, but
are red ;and look as if, with dry,
hot grief, they had burned down
into their sockets. Melancholy
picture! She o.owned him as
her husband had just been earri-
ed out from the last separation
still, and seemingly a corpse, un-
conscious of the strange last kiss
which murderer had impressed
on her lips. The expectant or
phans, after their wretched fare
well, were crying over the yet
motionless form of their neither.
"My poor man, can you read o.

pardon to him too suddenly, l ad-
ded:

No sooner. had l uttered the

The Giving Deacon.

mere was good deacon in a

learned the lesson of giving from
the Bible. He.felt that it was
nus duty to lay aside one-tenth Of
the money he.received TO be
used for charitable purposes. Out
OF the fund thus formed he al
ways had money to give away,
ana he aveFvery freely. The
otner members of the church had
not learned this lesson. Thew
gave very little, and talked to-
gether great deal about the
deacon. They thought that he
gave away too much money, and
atzast persuaded, the minister to
go TO see him about it. The min

kN>3NyG stood the test Of
zzz years, with con-
0ee9@ stantly growing
reputation, based on its intrinsic virtues,
and sustained by its remarkable cures
So mild as to be safe and beneficial to
children, and yet so searching as TO
effectually purge out the great corrup-
tions of the blood, such as the scrof.
ulous and syphiiitic contamination.
Impurities or diseases that have lurked
in the system for years soon yield to
this powerful antidote, and disappear.
Hence its wonderful cures, many of
which are publicly known, of ScrOfula,
and all scroftlous diseases, Ulcers,
EruptiOns, and eruptive disorders of
the skin, TumOrs, BlOtches, BOilS,
Pimples, Pustules, Sores, st.
AnthOny's Fire, Rose or Fry

Scald Head, RingwOrm, and in
ternal UlceratiOns of the Uterus,
Stomach, and Liver. 1t also cures
other complaints, to which it would not
seem especially adapted, such as Drop
sy, Dyspepsia, Fits, Neuralgia,
Heart Disease, Female Weak
ness, Debility, and LeucOrrhoea,
when they are manifestations of the
scrofulous poisons.
1t is an excellent restorer of health
and strength in The Spring. BY renew
ing the appetite and vigor of the diges-
tive organs, it dissipates the depression
and listless languor of the season.
Even where no disorder appears, people
feel better, and live longer, for cleansing
the blood. The system moves on with
renewed vigor and new lease of life.
