THE LEMON.

"Few people know the value Of
lemon juice. A piece Of lemon
bound upon a corn, will cure it In a
few days /; it should be renewed night
and morning. A free use of lemon
sugar will always relieve a cough.
Most people feel poorly in the spring
of the year, and so take medicine for
relief but if they would eat a lemon
before breakfast every day for week
with or without sugar, as they like
they would find it better than med
icine.

Before Marriage.
tributes,

Lovers quarrels arise from different
causes; sometimes from mere intensi.
ty of affection making undue exac-
tions, and at others from causes which,
if properly understood and apprcciat-
ed, would warn the parties OF the i'm.
possibility Of their ever living happily
together For instance, a young man
who is engaged finds his aflianced
very jealous, Whenever they meet
other ladies in society she treats him
with great GOODNESS. This chills his
ardor, and makes him discontented, SO
much 40 that he is in doubt about
marrying her at all. He has, in fact,
come to the conclusion that, if he be.
lieved she would treat him after mar
riage in the same way she does now,
he would never marry her. AS gen
eral proposition 1t may be laid down
that persons will not change essential
y after marriage. A belief that they
would have been the cause OF countless
unhappy marriages. They will be
just about the same after as before,
and, if anything, little more likely to
give way TO strong natural proclivi-
ties, Or peculiarles Of temper. If
you would not marry young woman,
provided you believed she would con-
tinue to be as she is now, without any
marked change in her disposition,
then you do very perilous thing to
marry her at ALL The same rule, on
the other hand, applies to the young
men. Many and many a girl has
made u shipSre Of her happiness
for lite by marrying a young man in
the confidence that after marrying she
would WELD such an influence over
him as to reform his wild habits. She
finds her influence diminished rather
than increased after they are married,
q d dlsagreements and misery neces-
sarily follow.

With the return of the butterflies
the tramp problem receives its annual
revival The gentry of the road have
tested fortune variously through the
winter months. Some have timed it
SO as TO be comfortably kept in Jail
until the birds and blossoms came
again many have been wandering in
warmer ATTITUDES, and "A no inconsid
erable representation have found it
possible TO follow their profession
without interruption, so mild has been
the season. But now migration has
set in again. The tramps believe the
wild goose is Il wise fowl after all, and
follow this bird of good omen South
and North. They will soon enter up
on the summer campaign with swollen
ranks and more perfect organization.
They exert an influence, and it Ger
tainly is not in the direction of social
progress or security. Their harvest
is to be found in stirring up commo-
tions in industry and society. Give
them an entering wedge and they will
undertake a carnival of blood, incen.
diarism and plunder that defies all
moral influences, and sometimes
threatens even the very majesty of
the law itself. Last year they found
this opportunity in the railroad strikes,
which they turned into riots, thereby
heaping undeserved reproach upon
honest industry and those whose pro.
tests would have been orderly and re-
spectiul, but for the fact that their
banners were captured and made to
wave over thieves and murderers and
constitute the symbols of their vile
lawlessness We hope this year that
the tramps will be made to stand
forth, with no respectable mask TO
shield their loathsome front, and then
be held responsible for theil lawless
deeds so far as the strength of cur in
can compel them to an
swell Boston Post.

Hang Together,


Frank w, Miller, a New Hampshire
editor IN his very al 10 and sensible
address at the recent assembly Of the
New Hampshire state board Of agri-
culture, says
"Farmers do not hang together a.
they should they are too jealous Of
one anothers success, II one is got
ting a good thing IN selling milk or
In raising any particular crop, they
arc Too apt TO strive TO fpoll the basi-
ness by cutting under, Or by getting
away customers, Who ever heard OF
q lawyer sneaklng aroand to get a
easS away from brother fthe craft 7
And who ever knew q rumseler TO
cut down prices to secure trade q
No, the lawyers and the rumscllers
hang together the best OF any class
know, and sometimes l am tempted
to wish more OF them could hang to
gether.
Farmers are too much inclined TO
dcpreciate themselves. II they get a
little money ahead and think TO start
q bank, they will pay clerk for tax
ing care Of the books ten times as
much as either one ofthem would dare
ask for doing the same number of
hours work Tor the clerk. When /
commenced business as u printer, !
had been told that lawyers and pbysic.
ians must charge big fees for their
services, because it had cost them so
much to acquire their education I
made up my mind that those men
who charged me big fees would have
big ices chalg ged them in return. 1t
has cost me as much to be printer
as il would have cost to become a
lawyer. Farmers need as good an
education as u lawyer, and better Of
tho two, and they should value such
an education, and realize the dignity
which belongs with it,

Warner, apropos of his Adirondack
stories in the atlantic Monthly "Mr.
Warner was onse climbing Haystack

out the trail. Now tourists usually have
a great horror of getting lost in the
woods, and Mr.. Warner was no excep-
ton to this rule, and on this occasion
all his faculties, both ply ysical and
mental were concentrated on keeping

READING. Il wish your daughters

love of reading knowing by expert

the happiest cannot be passed over
without many uneasy hours, and
there is no remedy 50 easy as books
which, if they do not give cheerful,

Loud Speaking.

Tade some sensible aud pertinent
remarks we hope none will consider
them impertInent lin reference to
tho loud, harsh tones Of American
women In conversation, lle attributes
II in measure 10 the bad training in
our large achool,rooms, where the chill
dren are required 10 "speak up"-and
proceed 10 do 50 after fashion not
easily forgotten.
The habit Of loud speaking may
with truth be said to be American,
and Is not confined, By any means,
to the women aud children. The
volume and harshness Of our average
tones, as people, can never bc ap-
preciated save by him who has studied
the phenomenon, The mother speaks
to the daughter in the next room in q
voice that would send the interroga-
ton or command clear across the
street, The father call the boys to
"come in to breakfast in stentorian
tones that star,le thepoortimid echoes
slumbering on the side Of the
buildings, aud can be plainly heard
through the whole neighborhood'
The boys snarl at each other in their
yexa'lsn until you invo!uutarily look
for their four legs, so much does their
language sound like the growl Of
angry dogs. The young farmer,
drives his balfbroken steers along the
road, shouls aud yels and screams at
the shrinking youngsters as II they had
no ears, or were three. quarters OF a
mile distant and running like mad
tie bushes. Indeed, taking
us all in all we are noisy set. Even
the hen, it is said cackling louder here
than in any other land under heaven,
and as TO the pig squealing louder
than the pigs of any other country do,
no sane man would think of denying
it for moment,
But soberlv, friends, is it not about
time for us to learn manners in respect
to this point of behaviour? Is it not
time for us TO learn the proper use of
The voice, and the methods of train
ng by which il cah be made sweet |
and pleasant TO the ear? Why should
not parents make a PORT OF this in
the education of their children, and
thus give them at least one delightful
accomplishment Z? The soft, gentle

A SHARK STORY.--The Providence

story in the April Number of the WIde
Awake. written by DR.. j. T. Payne: " He
describes the capture of Il shark, and its
dissection at sea, and says that afters-the
heart had been removed from the body
and placed upon the deck. it kept up its
contractions for period of twenty min
ules, or half an hour, just the same as
when in place and performing its office OF
pumping the blood to the various parts OF
the body We, in company with the late
Surgeon MacGregor. used to enjoy, annu-
ally, shark fishing excursion. One sea
son. we reudezvoused ut Edgartown, and
tished for the monster off Capoge.' We
caught, among others, a fellow of spendit
pluck and proportions. and decided to dis
sect him. We landed him upon an ole
wharf, in Edgarown, about four O'Clock
in the afternoon, and proceeded in trut
surgeons style. We opened him, tool
out his immense jaws, which, when open
ed, passed over to the extreme of ou
shoulders, and afterward found his heart
expanding and contracting rs if in life
though the body was devoid of blood. We
cut the heart out. placed it upon an in
verted try kettle used by whalers, an'
proceeded with our work. After we hat
finished-,it was nearly dark-we took th'

and examined that marvellous heart again
