she has added to her possessions, and
now she has q little farm of thirty-fve
acres. With her still resides her con-
slant and ever true companion, Miss
Emma Shaw, between whom and her
self there exists a singular and most de-
voted attachment. Miss Farman's
widowed mother, in her declining age,
finds a comfortable home with her
affectionate daughter. The three con-
stitute this happy little household.
Miss Farman has one sister, a young
lady who is engaged as a teacher N the
public schools in this city.
Miss Farman has received numerous
letters from the admirers of her writ
ings in the East, and has had several
earnest solicitations from wealthy peO-
! ple of Boston and New York to spend
| the summe with them at their summer
| residences. It must be particularly
gratifying to her when she looks back
on the years that she passed IN this
city overcoming apparently insurmount-
| able difficulties, entirely u~nrecognlzed
by II c~itizens,'to thlnkthat she is now
the recipient Of the most tiattering con-
gratulations from the Eastern Hterat.
Michigan has furnished the literary
world with but few novelists, and among
the number Miss Farman Will rank with
the foremost. Her new book is a novel
entirely complete within itself, and is
said to be her best effort. It will meet
with a rapid aud extensive sale in this
section, where the story Of her literary
life is known. That she is d~eservedly
entitled to her hard-earned success Is
the verdict of all.

the truth of which We have read and
thought. Shirk no work. Take and do
that which lies next your hand. Aim
to live the life which bears, of right, the
name of Christ. Your time to show
what you are will come, and if you but
wait, and SOW, and pillow, the "set time
will dawn" when you are fit. Be sure,
though slow. Take time to make haste
to do, to dare, and of course to will
that's your wish. You would laugh at
the sight of all the dim and weird things
you have half or more in mind, could /
put them forth in full shape and dress.
The world of hope, the life of youth-1
lived in that world and knew it in part.
Gourds sprang up there, fast and rank,
that have gone down and left not a
trace. Bright are these dreams. You
would dash back if L could lift up the
vail that hides days and months to come,
and show you the wrecks that will be
made on life's main, while your bark
runs its course. All me, it is a sad, sad
sight to gaze on-that of the wreck of a
young man., to drink it all in, to feel
and know the keen bite of those words,
the most sad of sad words from them
What might have been!" For you
and yours God grant the way be found
in the spring time, "the truth" be felt,
and the life be known. Ask God tC
guide you in the path you are to tread
ask his grace-the work Of his grace,
may it dwell in you. Trust him thus
and for life or death all things are
yours. You cannot fail. You canno'
fail.-B. ". Pearson.

Father
BY OLIVE THORNE.

Father Jut-Tooth is a droll fellow
who Ives in the land where goats climb
trees. He dresses in a thick suit of
ashes. carries mis- tobacco behind his
ears, and for ornament, wears the tail
of Il COW.
HIS wife wears an apron of skin, with
a fringe of iron rings aud beads and
bells and the largest house in the vii
lage IS q hospital for cows.
Queer people, did you say ? Yes, they
are queer, 1 must admit and it would
be hard to believe what we hear of them
only that travellers have seen them and
written books about them.
Bu: lei me tell you more. He is called
Father Jut-Tooth by the Nubians, be-
cause Of a singular custom his people
have Of breaking off, or filing to q point,
he Two lower front teeth, thus leaving
the upper ones to grow out till they are
very prominent. Why they should
think this an improvement upon Ma
lures way of arranging teeth nobody
knows but their fathers set the fashion,
and they dutifully follow it. And let
me tel you that the most savage tribes
in Africa are as much slaves to fashion
as we and it is even worse with them,
because the fashion is not simply the
CIT of clothes, but mutilation of the
body, breaking off teeth, pressing heads
out Of shape, stretching the lips till
they IooElike q ducks bill, tattooing new
patterns in tie skin, and boring holes
through the flesh.
Father Jut-Tooth dresses in a suit OF
ashes, rs l said, and rubs it well In, SC
that f ne is a poor man, and obliged tC
use wood ashes, he is changed from his
native bronze color to a fine gray /; but
ii be be rich and can afford the luxury
of a more expensive sort of ashes, he
will be q rusty red. The use of the
ashes IS to keep off insects, and for the
same purpose he sleeps in a bed of the
same ashes.
His fayorite ornament, | told you, II
the tail of a COW but he does not dis
dam other tails, such as a goats, an(
the chief of his tribe has quite an as
sortpent of tails, with which to var,
his dress.
Then. like all other Africans, he ha
his ears pierced in several places, ant
iron rings or bars to put in. And wors
than that, his upper lip is pierced, a
iron bar is fitted in, and, as you'll no
bo surprised to know, he is tattooed i
stripes like the rays of the sun, goin
from The top OF his nose across his fore
head and temples.
But this singular gentleman is nc
yet fully dressed. He has ivory ring
on the upper part of his arms, and if h
is r.ch, iron rings or bracelets from e
boz to wrist, besides immense irO
chains, sometimes as many as foul
around his neck, and fastened on, too
SO that they cannot be taken off.
His hair is probably shaved close
his head, though a traveller tells of OF
dandy who had thin hair about s
inches long, which he had trained wit
great care, till it stood up all over h
head IN locks, and pointed like tongu,
of flame. The peculiar material whic
he used on it had dyed it of a rusty r.
color, and the observer frankly says
looked like a fisnd.
As for clothes, the less said Of tbs
the better. He calls a man who wea

And when corrections rod, p~erchsnce,
You'd have the WIchin feel,
He wriggles on: of wi-dom's ways
As slippery OK an eel.

Supreme within the house;
No doors are banged-the child appears

And scamper UP and down the street

SPAIN'S + RULER.

81 NV - CLHH
Don Alfonso IS q youth OF seventeen
years, not strong either in BODY or
mind. He is universally regarded il
Spain as illegitimate. He has no claim
whatever upon the throne except that
he is the son of his mother, who was as
bad q woman as queen. Her mother
was like herself, and her father, if pos
sible, worse. For four generations the
line is utterly corrupt and worthless.
Since Charles III. no n can point to
q good reign, We may almost say to a
good action, of a Spanish sovereign of
course we except the unfortunate ez-
pertinent of Amadeus of Savoy, who
was a gentleman at least. But Charles
". and his son Ferdinand were not
gentlemen in any sense of the word.
They were cowardly, t~reacherous, I'M
truthful, weak, and personally dlshon-
est. Queen Christine and Queen Isabel
were rot ladies; it is not possible to
call them so without casting derision
upon the name. They were unfaithful
rulers, unfaithful wives, not honest even
in money matters. Both the Kings and
both the Queens we have mentioned
broke their word SO frequently that no
one could trust them. Their public
character was as bad as their private.
We do not accuse them of being the
cause of all the misery of which Spain
has suffered for the last century. Even
the best of Kings, like Charles III. for
instance, could not make Spain happy.
But it is as clear as day that these
sovereigns, while doing no good have
done infinite harm to their unhappy
kingdom. Their i~ncapacity as rulers
was as evident as their immortality as
individuals. Their acts were as noxious
as their example.-NeW York Tribune.

Blaine was in at the death in
Connecticut. He seems to have a
tide of blunders upon him just now.
He blundered in either not def
antly assaiing the Administration
when he assailed its measures, or
in not accepting its policy and
championing its authors. He blum
dered when he allowed his head to
be, bnred to Administration blows
by becoming the centre Of Presi-
Dental movement i'll dubious cir
cles in Philadelphia, and he blum
dered when, after having been
bounded by the Presidents organ,
he yielded q halfway obedience to
the arrogance of power by repeat
ing old-time sectional speeches in
Connecticut. He should have gone
there to 60 through with the party
force bill, third term md all-
or he should have staid at home,
for in the wreck that followed his
campaigning there he is blamed by
both sides for having been either
cold or hot. If Blaine were run
ming anyone else for tho Presidency
he would need to be told that o
Presidential candidate can afford
to be silent most times, and can
afford to speak sometimes, but can
never afford to speak and mean
nothing; and when for want of
something sensible to say, he de-
clared that he desires the Republi-
can party to fight its battles on the
issue of eternal sectional hate-"to
stand, as he says ''in '76 and 80
and 'S4, and in many other cam
paigns. where our brothers stood
from '61 to '65," he fairly gets
down to the political level of averge
