The Marriage of Great Men.

Robert Burns married farm girl with
whom he fell in love while they worked
together in plowed field. He was IT.
regular in his life, and committed the
most serious mistakes IN conducting his
domestic affairs.
Milton married the daughter OF a
country squire, and lived with her but a
short time. He was an austere literary
recluse, while she was rosy, rcmping
country lass that could not endure the
restraint Endorsed upon her. So the sep
arated. Subsequently, however, she re-
turned, and they lived tolera5ly happy.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were
cousins, and about the only example in
the long.line af English monaEehs where.
in the marital vows we're sacfeily observ-
ed and sincere affection existed
Shakespeare loved and welded a
farmers daughter. She was faithful to
her vows, but we could hardly say the
same Of the bard himself. Like the
great poets, he showed too little discrim-
ination in bestowing ! is affection on the
other sex.
Washington married a woman with
two children. 1t is enough to say she
was worthy of him, and they lived as
married people should live-in perfect
harmony with each other.
John Adams married the daughter of
Presbyterian clergyman. Her father
objected on account of John being law
yer. He had bad opinion of the NOR
ais of the profession.
John Howard, the great philanthropist,
married his nurse. She was altogether
! below him in social life and intellectual
capacity, and, besids this. was ffty-two
years old, while he was but twenty five.
He would not take mo" for an answer,
and they were married and lived happily
until she died, which occurred two years
afterward.
Peter the Great, OF Russia, married a
peasant. She made him an excellent
wife and sagacious Empress.
Humboldt married a:poor girl because
he loved her. OF course they were hap
Ply.
1t is not generally known that Andrew
Jackson married lady whose husband
was still living. She was al uneducatcd
but amiaole woman, and ::was most de-
v6tedly attached, to the old warrior and
! statesman.
John c. Calhoun married his cousin,
ana their children fortunately were Meth
er diseased nor idiotic, but they did not
si|ince the talent of the great states rights
advocate. ..

4urest Tranq ulltZ er OF the Nerves.

The surest tranquilizer Of the nerves is a
medicine which remedies their supersensi-
tiveness by invgorating them. Over-tensioo
of the nerves always weakens them. What
they need, then is a tonic, not sedative. The
latter is only useful when there is intense
mental excitement and an immediate neces-
sity exists for producing quietude of the
brain. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
restores tranquility IF the nerves by
cudowine them with the vieor
requisite to bear, without being Jared or dis
'urbed unhealthfully the ordi nary impressions

from mental application which they would be
totally unable to endure without its assistance.

he drawn from the testimony OF business and
professional men, ltterateurs, clergymen and
others who have tested the fortifying and re-
paratiyc influence of this celebrated tonic and
neryine.

Saying and Doing.

His lirst battle; tells tie courage OF the
soldier. Many think before the battle
that nothing can brighten them. When
it begins they are panic:s stricken, and dis
grace themselves by cowardice! Col.
Chester, Of Connecticut, who commanded
q company of his townsmen at Bunker
Hill, used to tell good story Of two of
his soldiers in that battle. A large and
powerful man, standing by the side of a
pale-faced youth of slender figure, said to
his comrade:
"Mal, you had better retire before the
fight begins: you will faint away when
the bullets begin to- whfz around your

Goodnight.

The clock strikes ten: its warning sound
ReprOyes my long delay;
Yet who from scenes where bliss Is found
Would wish to hast away?
And who would stop to count the hours
Where every path is strewed with flowers,
And beautious prospects charm the sight!
Forgive my fault! Goodnight! goodnight
And O! if other words than these
4 warmer wish convey,
Ny heart the welcome phrase would sieze,
It's feelings to portray;
Whatever comfort nature knows,
Whatever blessings Heaven bcstows,
Nav these thy peaceful heart Invite
To constant joy. Goodnight! goodnight.
Sweet and refreshing be thy sleep,
And all thy visions blcst.
Angels their watchful guard shall keep.
Nor evils dare modest.
Aud in the silent midnight hour,
When fancy with her magic powcr
Paints distant forms in colorS bright,
Remember ME. Good night! good night.

The Farmers Front Yard:

Most farmers, even the poorest Of them,
have a desire for trees, plants and flowers.
They enjoy a well-kept place. II is
very rare thing to find front yard with
out some attempt at fermentation. The
shrubs and flower-beds and the grass are
often neglected and allowed to struggle
with each other in their own way. Some
work is occasionally done at odd intervals
A small spot is dug in the grass for sin
gle rosebush, another for small Spir~a
one for Lilac, another tor P,pony, and
perhaps several Others, two or three feet
across. for small beds OF flowers. In this
manner the grass plot is broken up and
frittered away by numerous single plants
or small beds scattered AL oyer the yard.
Except, perhaps for few vines: we
should set plants little away from the
house. Besides this, for unpretending
yards by farm houses, we suggest plan
which at less cost, we think, will make
the yards look better than they now lock.
The ground fer the lawn should be
nicely graded and enriched, taking care
in most cases to preserve the natural gen
tie undulatlons. In several places here
and there, depending on the size of the
grounds, set shrubbery or flowers in mass
es of not less than ten feet in diameter.
Plants in small beds cut out of turf sell
dom thrive we'll, because the grass roots
run down beneath the plants, often for
three or four feet, robbing them of moist
ure and nourishment. In the plan leave
clean open spaces tree from everything
but grass This can then be easily NOW
ed several times year.
If the land is rich and we'll graded, the
grass can be easily moved and it will
furnish crop which will be handy to
feed the horses or some other stock. Lo-
cate the trees and shrubs somewhat with
reference to making it easy to NOV the
lawn. The patches or groups of shrub
berry should be often cultivated, at least
till they become we'll established. A
nice lawn is the most beautiful part Of a
well-kept front yard.
