Its ingredients are SO skilfully

it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still SO effectual as
to purge out from the system those

develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence

Lille Emerson remembered as a
beautiful dream the cosy farmhouse
opposite the ferry, on the Hill. For the
house Of Mr.. Anders, though 1t was
bounded by not fourth Of her fathers
acres, was a very Arcadia as compared
to her own.

Mrs. Emerson, in her bnstling way,
whereupon Miss Lille looked more
deeply annoyed than ever. She had
been away from home, aud in society"
just enough TO make her ashamed Of
her dowdy drudge OF a mother. And
yet it was a shame for her to be thus
ashamed; for the time had been when
no comelier girl than jeanette Rankin
had danced the hoe-down in Missouri
Flats. And everybody had thought
young Emerson the luckiest dog i'm all
the "barrens" when he secured the
prize and "toted' her across the plains
to Oregon in 40, in an ox-cart. True,
she lacked culture, but so did her hus-
band, at least at that time. But, while

tions for better opportunities than the

ceeded with her work.
"You have lovely country home,

Lille Emerson felt like a fool. She
had never read Rasselas, and she felt
ti.ai Src eden knew il. Bnt then, she
was flaltered by his show of learning, a.
we'll as by his attentions; and when, an

cows and Grace was corralling the

musical in a sentimental song to the

Before Marriage.

Lovers quarrels arise from different
causes; sometimes from meEe intensity
of affection making undue exactions,
and at others from causes which, prop
erly understood and appreciated, would
warn the parties of the impOssibility Of
their ever living happily together.
For instance, a young man who is en-
gagged finds his af1ianced very jealous.
Whenever they meet other ladies' in
society, she treats him with great cool
ness. This chills his ardor aud makes
him discOutented, so much that he Is in
doubt about marrying her at all. He
has, in fact, come to the conclusion that
If he believed she would treat him after
marriage in the same way she does now
he would never marry her.
As a general proposition, il may be
laid down that persons will not change
essentially after marriage. A belief
that they would has been the cause of
countless unhappy marriages. They
will be Just about the same after as be-
fore, aud, if anything, a little more
likely to give way TO strong natural
prOclivities, or peculiarities of temper.
If you would not marry a young
woman, provided you believe she would
continue to be as she is now, without
any marked change in her disposition,
then you do very perilOus thing 10
marry her at all.
The same rule, on the other hand, ap-
plies TO the young men. Many anu
many girl has made a sbipwreck
of her happiness for life by marrying a
young man in the confidence that after
marriage she would WELD such an in
fiuence over him as to reform his wild
habits. She fluids her influence dimin.
ished rather than increased, after they
are married, and Disappointment
disagreements aud misery necessarily
follow.
Marry no one with whom, withou
any change Of character, you are no
satisfied.
