Keeping on the Farm.

The census tables suggest thoughts to every true patriot. In the older States the cities arc growing rapidly, while the country population is dimin- lshing. The young men leave the farms and crowd the stores of the city. Many farms are deserted, and houses are going to decay, while in the cities thousands of young men are vainly seeking for en- ployment.
 One reason for the desertion of the country is that young men grow weary of monotonous life. Farm-houses have few papers and fewer books no public libraries are within reach, and there are no lectures or concerts. It is all work and no play, and the young men long for more variety in life.
 A farmer of superior intelligence and refinement, who has kept all his boys at home, tells how he has done it.
 My eldest is near twenty one, and the other boys in the ighborhood younger than he have left their parents. Mine have stuck to me when 1 most needed their services, and I attribute this result to the fact that I have tried to make their home pleasant.
 "I have furnished them with attract i've and useful reading, and when night comes, and the days work is ended, in- stead of running with other boys to the railroad station and adjoining towns, they gathered around the oraat Iamn and became interested in their books and papers,"
 If farm houses are made attractive to young people they will cling to them, and think little of emigration. Pleasant homes, with little amusement to relieve hard toll, will hold the sons to their fathers occupation.

Why He Objected.

We may dislike to be obliging, but it is hard to lend the money we have saved by prudence, to others who waste theirs by extravaganza. What they borrow is quite likely to go the same way.
 A few days ago we heard brief con- versation between two men, neither of whom was recognized by his voice and we could not see them but there was something of moral to it that is too good to be lost. So here it is:
 "How are ye? Just the man 1 was looking for. Got fifty spot about you :? I'm in hard place."
 "Yes, have fifty dollars about me. But what do you want to do with 1t ?"
 II want to borrow it, of course."
 "Yes, I understand so far. But what use do you want to make of the money P
 "Why, to pay bills with. What else could it be for ?"
 "But what kind of bills ?'
 "Living bills. I can't raise money enough to keep, even if I find 8 more fortunate fellow to borrow of, for credi- tors are urgent"
 "But wait moment. Ought to lend you fifty dollars? Your income is as large as mine. I don't smoke you do. I walk you ride. My wife does her own work; yours keeps two girls. My wife makes her own dresses, all but the fitting; yours has Boston dress maker for fortnight at a time, at cost of $s3 day.
 "Stop your nonsense. Let's have the money, for I'm in hurry p
 "Not quite so fast. I am getting along in years; my wife and I are trying to lay up little as we go on from year to year. Is it my duty to draw from these savings to aid you? If circumstances were reversed, would you lend me fifty dollars ?''
 "Well, perhaps I wouldn't; but I wouldn't preach you 8 moral lecture. Good-day. ."-Salema Register.

Rest for Headaches,

Dr. Day says, in late lecture "Whatever be tine plan of treatment de- cided upon, rest is the first principle to inculcate in every severe headache. Rest. which the busy man and anxious mother cannot obtain so long as they can manage to keep about, is one of the first remedies for every headache, and we should never cease to enforce it. The brain, when excited, as much needs quiet and repose as fractured limb or an inhamed eye, and it is obvious that the chances of shortening the seizure and arresting tho pain will depend ou our power to have this carried out efec- tually. It is practical lesson to keep steadily in view, in that there may turk beh1nd 8 simple headache some lesion of unknown magnitude which may re- main stationary if quietude can be main tained.
 There is 0 point worth attending to in the treatment of all headaches. See that the head is elevated at night, and the pillow hard for, if it be soft, the head sinks into it and becomes hot, which, with some people, is enough to provoke an attack in tue morning if sleep has been long and heavy"

One Word Covers the Advice

Which should be given to nervous, slender, and facilitated pcrsons-In0igordte Seda- tives, opiates, appetizers, are comparatively useless. The system must be built up with q genuine tonic in order to the recovery of vigor and tranquility by the nerves. A course, sys- tematically pursued, of the leading invigorant Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, should be re- sorted to by those who suff r from weak nerves and general debility. The stomach. always more or less dyspeptic in eases of nervousness and loss of v.ta ity. is toned and regulated by ttis medicine until the organ acts with precision akin to that of steady going piece of mechanism.

Appetite and sleep are then regained.

Baby Farming.

The Rev. Henry Morgan has been personally Investigating Boston's wick e1ness. One of his latest fields was ba- by farming. He says that woman kept nursery adjoining popular ho- tel. Sne procured barrels of cold vic- tuals fer her babies from the refuse of the hotels. The infants cries disturbed d the Lotel boarders, and the proprietor petitioned for her removal. She went to another place, leaving three dead babies in her bureau drawer. Her old mother complained, hefore they moved, that sine couldn't sleep lii the same room witL the dead infants, so tIey Were put out doorJ .sud covered up i'll a wash-tub. The Board of Health were put on her track, when, fearing trouble, she ap- piled for license, which the Board of Aldermen refused to grant. A powerful official took up her case, demanding she be licensed, and 1t was done. She was again ordered to move, and simply went to central locality, where her business increased. At last she was arrested, but the only penalty WAS fine of $1 and costs.

About Presents.

It is hardly necessary to say that un- married ladies should not accept pres- ents from gentlemen not related or en- gagged to them, as every well bred per son is aware of the fact. There is rule to the effect that, in presenting book to friend, the name of the one to whom you give 1t must not be written in it un- less requested. This rule is better hon, ored in the breach than in the observance when the giver of the book is it's author. Our tokens O. love, says Emerson, are, for the mos part, barbarous, cold and lifeless, because they do not represent our life. The only gift is portion of myself. Thereforo, let the farmer give his corn, the miner a gem, the sailor coral aud shells, the painter his picture, and the poet his poem. Mere costliness does not constitute tn soul of pres ent 1t IS tue kind feeling that it mani fests which gives 1t it's value. Those who possess nobl3 natures do not make gifts where they feel neither affection nur respect Their gifts are bestowed uut of tue tullness of kind hearts.

A Rat Story.

l remember, writes correspondent of the Hartford Times, when it was cus- tomary for girls to spin wool, flax and tow. Now, think, there are not many who can tell spinning wheel from a street car. We spun our wool on a jenny, and oiled the spindles every morning. On taking the bottle, we would often find the oil nearly gone examined the shelf where it stood, and found traces of oil, as if it had been tam- pered with. AS the bottle was found standing, concluded that rat must have stood on his hind feet, while his brother rats dipped bis tail in the bottle), as it was short necked), and in this way all got feast. The Kennedys of Hartford made my jenny.
 Nov, will tell you something more about cunning rats that were raised in my native place. Wben was young, I called on an old aunt one day, as usual :; says she have found where all my eggs are gone. Come this way and I will show you. She opened a cellar door which WAS just opposite the window. There you sec is my egg dish which was several feet from the foot of the stairs. l knew there was no cat there, therefore concluded to watch and see what kind of varmint it was stealing nay eggs as soon as I put them in the dish. It was not long before several rats came, slowly along, looking very suspicious. One of them lay down on his back, and the others managed to get an egg where he could hold it in his paws. Then they drew him out of sight. The old lady was so truthful, none doubted her word.

There are several ways of expressing the same sentiment. For instance, By

the same sentiment. For instance, By ron writes,-
 "Ihat all-softening, overpowering knell,
 The tocsin of the soul, the dinner bell" But the philosopher Billings, who uses bad spelling to set forth good sense, thus speaks of the bells rival
 The dinner-horn iz the oldest and most sakred horn tbare iz. It iz set tew musik, and plays Home, Sweet Homo y about noon. 1t has bin listened tew with more rapturous delite than ever any band haz.
