The Old Home.

There are bitter threads woven in
the lives of all, but to my mind
there is nothing SO bitter as giving
up the old home. When we look
back for the last time through the
old avenue, with it's grand trees be-
meath whose shade our childish feet
have often strayed, blithe and hap
py as the lark, or when, in our ma
turer years, we have been oppressed
with cares, how often it has been
our wont to while away an anxious
hour with the blue canopy of heav
en- above US, and dear old trees,
with the signing through them for
silent friends. And the old house
we shall never forget it, How
maIy dramas in everyday life have
been enacted beneath its roof!
There is no room but has some So
cred memory connected with it,
memories of happy hours passed
with loved ones gone 10 relms of
endless joy. And when like Ghe
sheperds of old, we see the "star of
promise" rising in the East and are
called to that bourne from WHENCE
no traveller e'er returns, the Iecol
lection of the home will be an oasis
in memory's desert.

Banged Hair and Close Dresses.

Correspondence of the Woman S
Journal. Every day l meet in the
streets Of Boston young ladies, who
would otherwise look intelligent,
reduced to the appearance Of idiocy
by peculiar method of combing
the hair down over the forehead.
This hideous detormity is evidently
copied from the patients of lunatic
asvlums and schools for the feeble
minded, This effect is shocking.
Although not fastidious, l shrink
from these ladies rs children shrink
from a hideous mask. 1t is q pro-
test against being considered strong
minded that the yonng women thus
assume the garb of idiocyY ! am
told that lady thus degraded Is
said to have her hair changed"
But it seems to me that her sanity
must be badly banged to thus de
form herself.
The present hot weather is made
more intolerable by che spectacle
of women with dresses which cling
to their forms with closeness pos
itively indelicate-dresses drawn
back by some strange attachment
behind, which letters every move
ment. If the changed" young wo-
IMAM has made my blood run cold,
the pull-back lady throws me into a
profuse perspiration out of sympa-
thy with her self-infiicted martyr
dom. Win the ladies of the New
England Woman's Club kindly in
form me why women thus make
guys of themselvesg

VegetinE
PurifeS the Blood s Gives Strength.

DU QUoN, Ill, Jan 81, 1875
Mr.. n. E. Stevens
Dear Slr-Your Vegetine has been doing
wonders for me. Have been having the
Chills and fever, contracted in the swamps
of the South, nothing iRiving me relief until
began the use of your Vegetine, it giving
me immediate relief, toning up my system,
purifying my blood giving strength; whereas
all other medicines weakened me, and filed
my system with poison; and | am satisfied
that if families that live in the ague districts
of the South and West would take Vegetine
two or three times a week, they would not be
troubled with the Chills or the malignant
Fevers that prevail at certain times of the
year, save doctors bills, and live to good
old age. Respectfully yours,
J. z. MITCHELL, Agent
Henderso.'s Looms, st. Louis, Mo.
All diseases of the bl pod.-If Vegetine will
relieve pain; cleanse, purify and cure such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect
health after trying different physici ans,
many remedies and suffering for years, is it
not conclusive proof, if you are sufferer
you can be curedl Why is this medicine per-
forming such great euress 1t works in the
blood, in the circulating fluid. 1t 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.

Home Conversation.

Children hunger perpetually for
new ideas. They will learn with
pleasure from the lips OF parents
what they deem drudgery to study
in books; and even if they have the
misfortune to be deprived Of many
educational advantages they will
grow up intelligent, if they enjoy
in childhood the privilege of listen
ing daily to the conversation of IN
telligent people. We sometimes see
parents who are the life of every
company which they enter, dull,
silent and uninteresting at home
among their children. If they have
not mental activity and mental
stores sufficient for both, let them
first use what they have for their
own households. A silent home is a
dull place for young people, a place
from which they will escape if they
can. How much useful informa
ton on the other hand is often Civ
en- in pleasant family conversation,
and what unconscious but excellent
mental training IN lively social ar
guments. Cultivate to the utmost
the grace of home conversation.

The Nashville American.

The readers of the CITIZEN will find
in the Nashville American a first-class
newspaper. In news it enjoys all the
advantages of the Eastern and Western
Press Associations, thus securing the
latest telegraphic news from all parts of
the United States and the rest of the
world. Its market reports are full, and
includes all articles in the mercantile
lists of the country. 1t has DIR. Daniel
Lee for its Agricultural Editor, who
gives it special value to the farmer.
The American iSDemOcratic, and its
discussions of the current political ques-
tions are able, and challenge even the
respect of adversaries.
The miscellaneous columns of the
American embrace all that Is interest
ing and useful, in the various fields of
human enterprise; and it can be safely
commended as a most excellent and
valuable paper in the household, the
workshop, the storehouse, and to all
people in every vocation.

men copies of which will be sent on ap-

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Little Things.

The comfort and pleasure, as
well as success, in farming, depends
very greatly on the little conven-
fences with which the farmer sur
rounds himself. Many of these
cost scarcely any outlay, Others a
very trifng amount beyond time
and labor, and of these not much,
for the necessary work upon them
may be done Oh rainy days and at
odd hours. A step ladder for the
house is one of these conveniences.
Ladders of different lengths for
trimming trees, picking fruit, or
reaching up the house or barn, are
exceedingly useful. Plenty of strong
small gates wherever enclosures are
to be gone through often Tor steps
over stile for the same purpose), as
well as large gates for the teams.
A box with, say, four compart-
ments, having bale or handle, for
holding the different sizes of nails,
is a great convenience, and saves a
deal of waste. A box for the saws,
hammer, and all the small tools, of
which, unfortunately, farmers al
most invariably have too few. Lit
tie racks conveniently placed in the
statle to hold curry combs, brush
es, etc. These are a few of the
things that come to mind, but we
dId not intend to enumerate, but
rather to suggest. Each thinking
man or boy will have a hundred
other things at his tongues end
that he knows would be useful, and
that ne has felt the need of a thou
sand times. The only trouble is
they never get right down to work
TO make them. Why not note
down these trifling fixtures as they
are forced upon the attention, or
are thought of while at leisure, and
then as occasion occurs, set about
constructing them?

yet he committed no error IN judg-
ment, and was guilty of no fault or
injustice in his whole ADMINISTERS
ton. He must have had admins
tratlve ability of the highest order
to have forced this unwilling COM
pliment from his enemies. This
compliment came too when they
were seeking his ruin. InaeXible
justice, considerate Kindness To the
poor, an unfaltering fidelity 10 all
were characteristics OF this prince
of statesmen.
He threw around his hundred
provinces the gIrdle OF Justice, aud
bound them to him by a noble phi
lsnthropy. tie looked far into the
future, and gave to his sovereIgns
counsel that would have saved them
from ruin He was faithful. He
looked to the honor of his monarch
and the good of his people. He fal
tered not in the discharge OF duty,
however unpleasant to himself or
unpalats BILE To the king. He was
no sycOphant. "He did not bow
the supple hinges of the knee, that
thrift might follow tawning." He
did not cater to the vicious taste of
wicked ruler. He did not cry
peace when there was no peace. He
was 40 man worshiper. He exposed
the faults and pointed out the doom
of an ungodly monarch. He inter
preLed the dream, though IL might
foretell disaster; he read the fam
ing mystic characters upon the plas-
tered wall, though they struck the
licentious Belshazzer dumb with
fright.
Daniel was brave. Even when
danger and calamity came he was
calm and sell poised. He was a
stranger to fear. When the palace
was filled with alarm; when astrolo-
gers and magicians were stricken
with terror in the presence of the
la SbIA AOho Aobh AAAslS GnC
wall; when the Medes and Persians
came rushing like Il storm on Il e
devoted city; when terror and dis
may filled the hearts OF all within
the great anu wealthy city OF Baby
Ion, then it was Daniel stood calm
and brave and firm, exciting the adj
miration of the mighty conqueror
and winning at once his confidence.
Then when the conqueror had cru
ely sentenced him TO be devoured
by the hungry lions, he met his fate
like man whom the most terrible
beasts OF pray could not alarm nor
devils themselves inspire with dread.
Above all, and more than all that
we have said of Daniel, he was an
hum BILE servant of the living God.
He was man of prayer. He held
con slant and close communion with
his Heavenly Father. He was de-
voted to the fear of the Lord when
all around was idolatrous. He gave
himself to prayer, when by doing so
he disobeyed his prince and brought
himself in conflict with the infiexi
bic laws of the Modes and Persians.
His firm fidelity to the true God ex-
torted even from idOlatrous lips a
decree, "That in every dominion of
my kingdom men tremble and fear
before the God of Daniel; for He is
the living God, and steadfast for
ever, and His kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed, and His do
minion shall be even unto the end.
l would that all our statesmen
were praying men, and that they
put their trust in the living God.

The farmer who relies on wood
for fuel during the winter, and who
does not draw and prepare it be-
fore the approach of cold weather,is
getting ready to endure a good
deal of discomfort. He is engag-
ing cold rooms, and late meals very
Indiferently cooked. Years ago
some one starded the story that
green wood produced, in burning,
more heat than that which was dry
or seasoned, and certain lazy peO-
pie believe the story. 1t has, how
ever, no foundation. II water is
not evaporated from wood by the
influence of the sun, it must be
driven of by heat of the fire. In
fact stick of wood is used to dry
another before it is q condition to
be burned. This causes q most
wasteful consumption of fuel, while
at best a poor and miserable fire is
kept up.-T Rural World.

Prepare for Grain.

Planter and Grange: Oats, rye
and barley sowed in September we
have found to do best. The writer
has sowed from August to March,
but has found the September SOW
ings of all these grains to be the
best.
Prepare your ground well, break
it deep and close, and make it rich,
and then SOW all the way from two
to four bushels of seed to the acre.
and you will get good results. An
average of two bushels of seed will
not be too much on good ground.
The rye patch is the necessity of
the farmer for winter grazing. 1t
will furnish grazing the entire WIN
ter, besides giving good crop in
the spring. Make the soil rich.
Seed thick. Get a mating of
sward, and your stock can't hurt it.

GOODNIGHT"
By FAITH LINCOLN.

Goodnight, o my beloved,
God keep thee till the dawn;
Through all the shadows of the night,
Unit, the shining morn.
God keep thee, o beloved,
From every dream of i'll;
Sleeps mantle gently cover thee
With foldings soft and still.
And yet know, beloved,
The deepest sleep were vain,
To Danish tender thoughts of me
From out your heart and brain.
I'd have it so, beloved,
That waking or asleep,
Ny heart should beat and throb with thine
in perfect pulsing keep.
And at the end, beloved,
When last good nights are said,
And they shall softly close my eyes,
And whisper "she is dead"
You'll not forget, beloved,
There comes brighter day,
After whose dawn no parting words
Are ever found to say.
Come nearer, my beloved,
To hear my last good night;
I'd see the smiling of your eyes,
While slowly fades the light.
o, clasp me close, beloved,
kiss me once more-good-bye-
We say our last good night on earth,
Good-morning MP on high.
