FASHIONABLE WoMEN.-Fashion kills
more women than toll and sorrow. Obe-
dience to fashion is greater transgres-
sion of the laws of womans nature-a
greater injury to her physical and men,
tai situation-than poverty and neglect.
The slave woman at her task will live
and grow old, and will see two or three
generations of her mistresses fade and
pass away. The washerwoman, with
scarce ray of hope to cheer her in her
toll, will live to see her fashionable
sisters die all around her. The kitchen
maiden is hearty and strong, while her
lady has to be nursed like sick baby.
1t is sad truth that the fashion
tempered women are almost worthless
for all the ends of human life. They
have but little force of character. They
have still less power of moral will, and
quite as little of physical energy. They
are only doll forms in the hands of
milliners and servants, to be dressed
and fed to order. They bless nobody
and they save nobody. They write no
books; they set no rich example of vir-
tue and womanly life. If they rear
children, servants and nurses do all,
save to conceive and give them birth.
And when they are reared what are
they? What do they ever amount to
but weak scions of the old stock? Who
ever heard of a fashionable woman's
child exhibiting any virtue or power of
mind for which it became eminent ?
Read the biographies Of our great and
good men and women. Not one of them
had fashionable mother. They nearly
all sprung from trong-minded women,
who had about as little to do with fash.
ion as with the changing clouds.

Almost every day the papers chronicle
the suicide of some poor unfortunate
whose mind has been enfeebled by dys-
pepsia. over whose earthly horizon a
gloom has gathered from the untold and
unreliable agonies of this cruel complaint.
Dyspepsia is one Of the most depressing
diseases affecting humanity. 1t is cos
mopolitan in its nature-no country is
exempt from its visitations, no family
free from its attacks There is balm
in Gilead it comes in the shape of the
Peruvian Syrup. For years it has been
scattering its blessings abroad. There
is probably no disease which experience
has so amply proved to be remediable by
the Peruvian Syrup as dyspepsia. The
most lnveterate forms of this disease
have been completely cured by this med
icine. as ample testimony of many of
our first citizens prove.

JUNo's WONDERFUL TROUBLES.

Juno lived in great park, where
there was menagerie, and neither the
park nor the menagerie could have done
without Juno. Now, who do you think
Juno was She was dear old black
and brown dog, the best natured dog in
the world. And this was the reason
they could not do without her in the
park. A lioness died, and left two little
lion-cubs with no one to take care of
them. The poor little lions curled up
in corner of the cage, and seemed as
if they would die. Then the keeper of
the menagerie brought Juno, and show
ed her the little lion-cubs, and said:
"Now, Juno, here are some puppies for
you; 60 and take care Of them, that's
a good dog" Juno's own puppies had
just been given away, and she was feel
ing very badly about it, and was rather
glad to take care of the two little lions
They were SO pretty, with their soft
stripped fur and yellow paws, that Juno
soon loved them, and she took the best
care of them till they grew old enough
to live by themselves. Many people
used to come and stand near the big
lions cage, and laugh to see only a
quiet old dog, and two little bits of
lion-cubs shut in it.
1t was very pretty to see Juno play

who came to the park wanted first too

WORLDLY MINDERNEss.-Wh is the
reason that many know their shops bet
ter than their hearts, and are acquaint-
ed with the temper of their body more
than with the constitution of their souls !;
that they are so careful and industrious
in the prosecution of their worldly de-
signs. SO negligent and remiss in look
ing after heaven? What Is, or can be.
the reason of these things, but that in
ordinate love and affection they have
for money, or the things of this world,
which makes them so eager in the pur-
suit of them, that they forget they have
anything else to mind; and SO much
taken up with worldly business, that
God and Christ, and heaven and soul,
and all must give way to it? o, the
folly and madness of sinful men What
a strange, corrupt and degenerate thing
is the heart of man become, that we
be SO foolish and unwise as to prefer our
bodies before our souls, earth before
the eternal God. and the worst of evils
with all the msseries that attend it, be-
fore holiness and that eternal happiness
which is promised to it; and all for
nothing else than the love of little
pelf and trash, which hath no other
worth but what our own distracted fan
cies put upon it !-Bsshop Beueridge.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1878-02-25

To doubt at the time you pray, wheth-
er God will grant what he has promised,
is sin; but to doubt whether it is your
duty to pray because you do not yet
know if you are accepted of God, is
unquestionably wrong. You may as
well question whether it is your duty to
read the Bible, or go to public worship.
Still, however, l would remind you that
as long as you are in an unconverted
state, your prayers are only the opera
lions of self-love, which, though not
sinful, are not truly holy.-Johm Angel

PAINT FOR FARM IMPLEMENTs.

Here are some sensible and practical
hints from the veteran L. B. Miner, in
the Rural Nesc Yorker:
81 suppose there are many farmers
who never used paint brush ; and |
can imagine how their old rusty wagons.
plows, etc., look, the woodwork badly
cracked, and going to ruin rapidly. 1t
is of as much Importance to keep farm
implements we'll painted, as it is to paint
a house: and every farmer should have
an "outft' of painting materials on
hand so as to be prepared to do any job
in that line that may be necessary. All
that is necessary is a two-gallon oil can.
couple of brushes of different sizes,
and the necessary paint but that can
be bought as wanted, yet it is better to
buy a % pound keg of white lead, and
a can of oil (half boiled and half raw
as they will keep long time. For
plows, harrows, and the running gear of
wagons, you need only red lead aud oil !;
but for other colors you will require the
white lead. If you want common black
paint, use lamp black and oil; but for a
carriage body get black coach paint at
the wheelwrights, also some varnish to
finish with. You would be surprised to
see the nice work that you or the ''boys"
can do after little practice; and when
you get in the way of doing your own
painting, your keg of lead won't remain
on your hands long. Why, there is
money in paint-actually bank bills,
and gold and silver dollars For in
stance, you buy new farm wagon, and
keep it we'll painted, and under cover
when not in use. Now. your neighbor
buys one at the same time, and doesn't
paint at all for ten or fifteen years and
what is the result? Worn out, decayed
woodwork, split and cracked, must be
thrown aside, as FUSED up. while yours
is as good almost as when new. You
have found hundred dollars In your
paint; but your neighbor, poor man
has got, perhaps, to stint his family il
the necessaries of life to pay ror a new

get those two young alligators in the
other tank" said a gruf-voiced adju-
tant.
''Good gracious ~ exclaimed Juno.
"You don't think it possible ?"
''Of course it is possible" said pei
lean, stretching his neck through his
cage-bars. you'll see what comes of
being too obliging."
"We all think you are good Great
ure, Juno. said crane Indeed,
should willingly trust you with my
young crane children. but really, if you
aoiH do everything that is asked of you,
there's no knowing whose family you
may have next"
Juno went and lay down in SUM-
shiny place near the elephants house
and thought over all these words. Very
soon she grew sleepy, in spite of her
anxiety, and was just dropping off into
doze, when she heard the keeper whis-
tie for her. She ran to him and found
him in the hippopotamuss cage.
"Juno," said he, 81 guess you'll have
to take charge of this young hippopota-
mus, the poor fellow has lost his moth
err"
dear, dear!' sighed Juno. 81 was
afraid it would come to this. I'm thank
full it isn't the young alligators."
So Juno took charge of the young
hippo.-she called him hippo for short,
and only when he was naughty she call
ed him: Hip pot-a-mus, aren't you
ashamed of yourself p But he was a
great trial. He was awkward and clum-
sy, and not bit like her graceful little
lion-puppies. When he got sick, and
she had to give him some peppermint,
and his mouth was SO large that she lost
the spoon in it, and he swallowed spoon
and all. and was very i'll afterward. But
he grew up at last, and just as Juno had
made up her mind not to take care Of
other peoples families any more, the
keeper came to her with two young
giraffes, and told her she really must be
a mother to the poor scraps of misery
for their mother was gone, and they
would die if they weren't cared for i'm
mediately. These were dreadful troub
lie, and besides they would keep trottlne
after her everywhere. till the pelican
and the adjutant, and the cranes nearly
killed themselves laughing at her. Poo
Juno felt worse and worse, till when on
day she heard the keeper say she Ger
tainly would have to take care of tn
young elephant, she felt that she coul,
stand it no longer, and made up he
mind to run away. So she said good
bye to all her friends, and ran to tn
wall of the park. There she gave
great jump, and,-waked up. and fOun
herself in the sunshiny grass near tn
elephants house.
"oh, how glad l am l'' said Juno.
"What in the world has been th
matter p asked the elephant. ''You'y

So Juno went to her supper, vel

% would run away that very night.
