The Latest Sensation i'll Milaz..
And now it is certain that Milan has as
sumed metropolitan airs, also that her
young ladies are up to the times. One of
the most unlocked for events occurred
Wednesday-an elopement well planned,
well executed, the old folks completely
out-witted, the young folks have it all their
own way, and get off in good style.
Among the many fine looking young ladies

he didn't even pay for. On the one

learned that the young folks had secured

1t is to be hoped a good ending may

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need, comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalations, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing q
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading t. intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

Sensible Economy.

Renovators of gentlemen's clothing
have multiplied amazingly. 1t is
only few years since all the estab-
lishments of that kind could have
been counted on the fingers of the
right hand. Now they number le-
giOns, and nearly all of them appear
to be busy. Clothiers DO not find
much comfort in this, but for all that
it is healthful sign. People are
economizing, and many of those who
have had their last winters suits
done up at a cost of a couple of dol
lars are surprised to find h Ow well
they look, aud how few people tell
them from the bran new article.
Ladies, too, are engaged in turn
ing their old dresses, and so skillful
is the hand of the expert sewing
woman that only the most intimate
friends, and those especially inquisi-
tive about other peoples dlesses, are
able to detect the economical ruse.
All these things are an indication OF
an advance in the right direction, OF
a departure from the highways OF
extravaganza and folly to the plaiaer
paths OF economy and good sense.

DemoraIizing Country Homes
The New England farmer who does

The New England farmer who does
better than the average is generally
the one who, in addition to the farm
work, makes little something every
summer by his city boarders. These
are swarming out into every nook OF
the back country, and the discovery
of place not frequented by them at
once calls them to it. And these
strange birds from the city are dis
turbing wonder to those among
whom they settle.
Often it happens that the board
err is by no means so well off In point
of money as the farmer; yet all from
the city are classed alike, and each
is known to be rich. That they can
afford to go off in the country, and
spend five or six dollars week FOR
board, is to their admirers sufficient
evidence that they have nothing to
do, and roll in wealth. The influence
of this example of leisure is thor
oughly disquieting. Boys and girls,
and the older people, too, come to
hold that sort of life as the especially
happy and comfortable. Of course,
if people from the city do live this
way, it follows, i'll the local logic,
that to go to the city means of itself
to enter upon easy circumstances;
and so the country ambition is fired,
and fired more strongly, it seems to
US, than writer's have considered. As
this boarding spreads over a wide
area each year, and is all the while
seeking out the cheap, and so the
unfrequented places,it is but natural
for its influence to be all the time
spreading.
To counterfeit this, home must be
made more attractive in the country.
Society alone will not accomplish it;
but living together, SO that by asso-
citation great deal of farm work can
be done collectively, instead of sepa-
rately, by each household, will fur
nish more time, and so more oppor-
tunity, for attention to living, apart
/ from working. That would not be
far from an ideal community where
the necessities of life pressed suffi-
GENTLY hard to crowd the drone
away, yet where each, if so minded
could be sure of healthy work, make
fair subsistence, live among equals
of common tastes and works, ant
have time for moderate amount o.
association and self-improvement
AS it is to-day, the boys are running
off from home, and the lands arr
passing into the hands of temporar,
tenants, who skin the ground clos
for few years, and then leave it
