Pleasure for a Child.

Douglas Jerrold wrote thus pleas
antly OF child-life: BLESSED be the
hand that prepares a pleasure for a
child, for there is no saying when
and where it may again bloom
forth. Does not almost everybody
remember some kind hearted man
who showed him a kindness in the
days of his childhood. The writer
of this recollects himself, at this
moment, as !. bare-footed lad, stand
ing at the wooden fence of q poor
little garden in his native village,
where with long eyes, he gaZed on
the flowers which were blooming
there quietly in the brightness of a
Sunday morning. The possessor
came forth from his cottage, he was
a wood cutter by trade and spent
the whole day at work in the woods.
He was coming into the garden to
gather flowers to stick in his coat
when he went to church. He saw
the boy, and breaking off the most
beautiful of his carnations, which
was streaked with red and white, he
gave it TO him. Neither the giver
nor the receiver said a word, and
with bounding steps the boy ran
home. And now. here at distance
from that home, after so many
events of so many years, the feeling
of gratitude which agitated the
breast of that boy expresses itself
on paper. The carnation has long
since Bithered, but it blooms
afresh.".

slurs on Women.

OF all evils prevalent among
young men, we know of none more
blighting than to speak lightly of
the virtue of women. Nor is there
anything in which young men are
so thoroughly mistaken as the low
estimate they form as to the integ-
rity of women. Not of their own
mothers and sisters, but of others,
who they forget, are somebody else's
mothers and sisters. AS a rule, no
person who surrenders to this de
basing habit is to be trusted with
an enterprise requiring integrity of
character. PLAIN words should be
spoken on this point, for the evil is
a general one, and deep rooted. If
young men are sometimes thrown
INTO the society Of thoughtless or
giddy women, they have no more
right to measure all other women
by what they see of these than they
have to estimate the character of
honest and respectable citizens by
the developments of crime in our
police courts. Let our young men
remember that their chief happiness
in life depends upon their utter
faith in women. No worldly wis
dom, no misanthropic philosophy,
no generalization, cover or weaken
truth. 1t stands like the record of
God itself-for it is nothing less
than this-and should put an ever
lasting seal upon lips that are wont
to speak slightingly of women.

What a Man Cannot Afford.

A man cannot afford to be I'M
faithful under any circumstances; a
man cannot afford to be mean at any
time; man cannot afford to do less
than his best at all times and under
all circumstances. No matter how
wrongfully you are placed, and no
matter how urjustfully you are
treated, you cannot for your own
sake, afford to use anything but
your better services; you cannot af-
ford to lie 10 a liar; you cannot af-
ford to be mean to mean man,
you cannot afford to do other than
deal Uprightly with any mar, no
matter what exercises may exist be-
tween him and you. No man can
afford to be anything but a true
man, living in his higher nature and
acting from the highest considera
tiOns.

How to Learn.

Dean Stanley: Two things to-
gether are the very model of a good
scholar. First, you must listen;
you must hear; you must be silent;
You must be attentive. We can
never hope TO gain real wisdom or
knowledge unless we are willing to
be taught, unless we look ont for
instruction, unless we fix our minds.
He who is always talking without
listening to what others say; he
who is always asking questions
without waiting for an answer; he
who allows his mind to wander
from one thing to another; he who
thinks he is wiser than his teach
ers, and cleverer than his compan-
ions: he who does not look up to
what is above himself, whether old
or young. is not learning as Jesus
Christ learned. We must also be
good askers of questions.

Little courtesies.

The art of living together pleasu-
rably is greatly promoted by the
habitual exchanges of the little
courtesies of this life; they are new
er unimportant, never unacceptable,
are always grateful to the feeling in
every household. Shall brothers
and sisters be less careful of the
feelings of one another than those
of a stranger? And between a hus-
band and wife, should there be less
effort at gentleness of department.
suavity of manner and courtesy of
expression, than is extended to out
siders, who have no special claims
and may never be seen again?
Shame upon any member of any
family who neglects those affection
ate attentions and those suavities of
toward the members of
household, and even TO the lowest
Servant, which cannot fail TO ele-
waite the giver, and TO draw from
the receiver those willing and spon-
taneous reciprocities which of fam
lily associations g little heaven be-
low.

The Quiet, Independent Farm Life.

The literature of farm life has a
large number of readers outside of
the farmer profession. There seems
to be a sort of fascination for read
ing agricultural works by druggists,
physicians, chemists, merchants,
clergymen and others. Agriculture
and the sciences are so closely con
nected, to study one the other par
TALLY occupies the thought. The
agriculturists have the most noble
and generally interesting pursuit of
all the callings known to city or
country life. There are but few IN
any of the professions who do not
cherish a hope for farm life during
the latter portion of their lives.
The love Of nature, broad acres of
scenery covered by wild and cul-
tured vegetation, the pure air and
water of the farm, produce a life
lasting impression of purity and
contentment in life, which has in
duced many towns people to retire
to the farm for permanent rest from
the tolls and hustle of town or city
life. The history and experience of
such men in their old age could
generally be of great and lasting
service to young men. The young
man who hates the farm leaves it
and makes his abode in town, will
sooner OF later in life hate town life,
and if able, return to a happy coun-
try home, at once hateful but now
bright and inviting.
Judicious industry on the farm
will soon relieve a man of pressing
want or poverty, and place him in
a position of easy independence,
with a quietness of life and sober
ness of thought known only to
farm life. Order and system are
essential on the farm, and no good
farmer will allow them to quit or
leave his place; ip fact, the young
farmer should form an early &C
quaintance with them, and make
them his companion.- R.of SIN the

Mr.. Il. z. Stevens Providence.
Dear Sir.-I have been great sufferer from

never shall forget the first dose. I could real
ize its good effects from day TO day; l was
getting better. After had taken some or
8 bottles ! could sleep quite well nights. /

some 10 bottles / could walk from one part

She says she has not had any neuralgia for
eight months. l have given it to one of my
children for Cankef Humor. | have no
doubt in my mind it will cure any humor; it
is great cleanser Of the blood; it is safe to
give q child. l will recommend it to the
world. Ny father is so years old, and he
says there is nothing like it to give strength
and life to an aged person. l cannot be too

All diseases of the blood.-If Vegetine will
relieve pain; cleanse, purify and cure such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect
health after trying different physici ans,
not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer
you can be curedl Why is this medicine per-
forming such great curesl 1t works in the
blood, in the circulating fluid. IL can truly
be called the Great Blood Purifier. The
great source of disease originates in the
blood: and no medicine that does not act di-
rectly upon it to purify and renovate, has
any just claim upon public attention.

What it Pays to Read.

Ones physical frame-his body,
his muscles, his feet, his hands-is
only q living machine. 1t is the
mind, controlling and directing that
machine, that gives it power a1d
efficacy. The successful use of the
body depends wholly upon The mind
upon it's ability to direct the will.
If one ties his arm in p sling, it
becomes weak and finally power
less. Keep it in active exercise,
and it acquires vigor and strength,
and is disciplined to use this
strength as desired, just as ones
mind, by active exercise in think
ing, reasoning, planning, studying,
observing, acquires yigor, strength,
power of concentration and direc-
ton.
Plainly, then, the man who exer-
cises his mind in reading and think
ing, gives it increased power and
efficiency, and greater ability TO di-
rect the efforts of his physical frame
his work-to better results than
be can who merely or mainly uses
his muscles. If man read a book
or paper. even one be knows TO be
it helps him by the effort
to combat the errors. The combat
invigorates his mind.
OF all men, the farmer, the cult
vator, needs to read more, to
strengthen his reasoning powers, so
that they may help out and make
more effective, more profitable, his
hard toll. There can be no doubt
that that farmer who supplies him
self with the most Teading-the
most Of other mems thoughts and
experiences-will in the end, if not

AND USEFUL IMPORTATION.
Health Items.

Lemons used during this season
of the year are said to be beneficial
to the health.
Those who would have perfect
digestion should not drink anythin g
at meals. Drinking should always
be done before, after or between
meals.
Milk is especially pernicious in
all of those complicated and OBJ
scure cases of indigestion to which
the phrase nervous debility" is US
ually applied.
The dyspeptic person should
avoid hard water as he would hard
drugs, for all the hard waters on
earth are only drugs in solution.
One of the great and increasing
evils of imperfect mastication is
decaying teeth. 1t Is a law of all
vital organizations that every struc-
ture or post must do its work or
die.
Corsets are the degeneration of
one sex as well as tobacco and
liquor are the enemies of the other.
The most prevalent error in pri-
yate houses is insufficient ventila-
ton of bed rooms. Young children
and infants, though born with fair
organizations, are often rendered
puny and scrofulous by sleeping in
unventilated rooms.
The sugar insect, which is the
cause of that tormenting skin affec-
ton known as "grOcers' itch," is
found in nearly all the brown sugar
of commerce. More than 100000
have been found in a single pound
of ''merchantile' sugar.
The error of regarding dyspepsia
as a local disease, instead OF con-
stitutional infirmity, leads to the
mischieyous practice of local medi
cation. Dyspepsia is but a name
for universal physical deterioration.
Water drinking should be accor-
ding to thirst. 1t is a mistake to
load weak stomach with cold wa
ter on the theory that it is tonic.
AS a habit, it is well to take tum
bier, or part of one, of pure soft wa
ter after dressing in the morning.
The only method which has
proved effectual for preventing or
curing consumption is to keep the
lungs expanded as much as posi-
bic. For this purpose, breathing
tubes, spirometers, hlow-guns, lift
ing machines and other gymnastic
contrivances, have been found use
full.
1t is said by those who have ia
ken pains to inform themselves on
the subject, that there is no coun-
try in the world, civilized or savage,
where bad teeth are so generally
the rule, and good ones so rare an
exception as in the United States.
We have in the United States 3d.
600 drug shops and $4,000 physi-
clans furnishing the supplies and
prescribing the doses, hence, in
view of this fact, it may be a fair
question for a debating society as
to whether there is more dyspepsia
produced by drug medication than
all other causes combined.
If seats were properly construct
ed persons would sit upright, for
the reason that it would be the
most comfortable position. 1t would
be painful to sit otherwise. The
chairs. benches, sofas, pews, or 9th
er seats, should fit the small OF the
back, the curves of the hips and
the whole length of the thighs, as
accurately as a well made shoe is
shaped to the foot, or harness to
the body of horse.

bone, which fracture ran into q running sore,
and having used everything could think Of

want, ALBEIT VoS RoEDER.
at is unnecessary for me TO enumerate the
diseases for which the Vegetine should be
used. / know of no disease which will not
admit Of its use, with good results. Almost
inuumtr able complaints are caused by pois-
onous secretions in the blood. which can be
entirely expelled from the system by the use
of the Vegetine. When the blood is perfect
eddy cleansed, the disease rapidly yields; all
pains cease; healthy action il promptly re-
stored, and the patient is cured.
