She Could be Trusted.

NJ. Theirs: 81 can trust my little
daughter; know she tells me every
thing" said the mother, holding
up the bright, gentle face, and look
ing down at it fondly.
"Yes, mamma" was on the little
girls lips, but her eyes dropped
suddenly, and her lips were Grim
soned in a moment. A kiss on the
pretty lips, and the mother was
turning away.
Mamma" said the little husky
voice, set me whisper in your ear.
Mamma, you trust me. l must tell
you everything" and her voice was
so low that only the mother heard
it, AS she bent over to catch the
hurried words she felt the little
heart fluttering under her fingers,
she saw the face flush and pale; she
knew, too, by the culver of the
lips the struggle of the moment.
She would have kissed the lips,
the lace, and hushed the heart; she
would have stopped the trying story,
but she knew that fault confessed
was fault half conquered, and so
waited to the end.
1t was a strange, new thought
lessness the little girl recounted, of
sad step aside from the narrow
way of right. She knew better.
She had been more than half unhap-
Ply on account of it for several days,
especially as she could not gather
courage to confess it-only the
words of trust brought about the
confession. Could she say, eyes,
mamma" Rowing that at that very
moment she was covering little cor
ner of the heart where she had hid
den a fault she wished no eyes to
see?
The mother, sorry for the child's
trial, yet glad of her victory for
right, was still sad in thinking Of
the fault. Other children might
have done the same thing-other
children might have done worse
but her own fair-faced child she
could have wept before her as she
stood both in gladness and in sor
for the fault; gladness,
hat she was too true to receive
praise unworthily, too strong for
he right to allow the hardness of
he confession to overcome her.
She stopped and folded her in her
arms, saying, kiss me, Kathrina;
your fault would break my heart,
1ut that ] believe this hour you
rave conquered; you have done
Vell-now l know better than /
Knew before, that l can trust my
title daughter"

drake, Yellow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence

experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
The Agricultural Outlook.

No other nation presents to-day
such a favorable combination of re-
markable features in productive
manufacturing and commercial cir
cles as that exhibited by the United
States. While starvation stares
many people in the face, we can
feed the half of Europe with our
surplus grain and provisions; while
many a powerful nation is Deepen
dent upon imported staples for the
employment of their FORCES and
looms, we have iron and coal, cot
ton and wool sufficient to feed a
wilderness of machinery, not only
in supplying home requirements,
but the demand of foreign markets
as we'll; while the nations of Eu-
rope are struggling under the
weight and cost of heavy standing
ermies and expensive systems of
government, their financial systems
shaken by increasing imports, de-
creasing exports and orenous taxes,
here our people are enjoying free
dom and independence in the high
est degree, here we are furnishing
to the markets of the world the
achievements of American indus
tries and ingenuity as well as the
vast products of the soil, aggrega-
ting through our exports a balance
OF trade in favor of this country
amounting to the grand total of
$305, 243, 626. Peace rests within
our border; a spirit of hopefulness
tempered by stern lessons of eau
tions and economy, of industry for

pervade our population.

this nation, and especially the far
mers of America, may find much in
the situation to encourage, stimu

our soil, taken as whole, is great.
With the exception of a few
rough mountain ranges, nearly all
of which are store-houses of the
metals and Goals, there are but few
acres throughout this wide domain
that cannot be cultivated SO as to

The rainfall, IN general, is abundant
and uniform; the climate is good. |
In no other civilized country is
land so cheap and so accessible to
the industrious and thrifty classes,
and it will be many years before
our maximum production of food is
reached. Our exports of farm pro-

Passing Away.

Life is changing daily. The
teachers of this truth are many.
We hardly begin to live ere it is
time to die. We may read it in the
falling leaf. The shadow is but a
picture of life. Every time the
heart beats it says passing away"
Somebody dies and somebody is
born to fill his place every time
your heart beats. Every pain in
the body reminds US that we are
passing away. Life is uncertain,
but death, sooner or later, is sure.
1t is only a question of time how
long we shall pitch our tents in this
wilderness. The dew drops sparkle
like diamonds, but the sun soon
spoils their beauty. Above US the
flying clouds proclaim the message
passing away" and beneath our
feet the withered grass and faded
flowers tell us the same story.
Around us the whistling wind tells
US we are mortal, as it shakes our
frail frames, and within us small
still voice confirms the testimony.
With 50 many evidences of hu-
man frailty how could an attentive
observer be ignorant of the fact
that man, at his best, is altogether
vanity? Verify, I'm the midst of
life we are in DEATH" for we see
young and old falling before the
reaper's glistening sickle. With
numberless ailments and accidents
to hurry mortals to the tomb, it is
a marvel that more do not die under
the age of maturity. We are all |
marching TO the great battle field of |
death as fast as the swift-footed |
steed of time can carry US. We
must return to dust and mingle with |
our parent earth. Even the i'm
movable mountains must pass away
as well as man himself. Things of
time are ever changing, while things
Of eternity are Interchangeable. May
our passing away be like that of
,he setting sun in a cloudless sky
calm but beautiful.

Woman's Love Of Appreciation.


Woman was not made to live
alone any more than man. All the
actions OF woman, whether of use
full industry or of ornament, are
subject to the approval and pleas
ure of the sterner sex to which their
own are subordinate and on which
they are founded. To descend to
the humblest form of this feeling,
every one knows that when a wo-
man has arrayed herself in a petty
dress and new ribbons or any finery,
put OIL for the first time, although
the admiration of her female friends
may give degree of pleasure, it is
as nothing compared to the light
that comes into the eye of one
whose smallest complient is of more
value than that of a thousand wo
men and this feeling, modified by
the circumstances of individuals,
runs through the whole sex and is
part of the nature of their being,
implanted in the heart by the Di-
vine Artificer to produce the most
delicious fruits that grow in the
garden of human life.
Women by themselves require
little to be comfortable; they can
live without ostentation, hustle or
form; neither in beauty of raiment
nor in delicacy of food can they
find happiness, long as they have
it TO themselves alone. They require
to please themselves. A knot of old
maids may, to be sure, be bitterly
merry over their tea and gossip, and
despise all men with pro-
found disdain; but there is some
thing very unnatural in that enjoy
ment, nor does anybody suppose
that the respectable spinster's heart
bounds with such sweet human de
light at the compliment of her fe-
male friends on her neat room, her
pet spaniel and strong tea, as the
heart of the good wife when her hus-
band tells her how nicely she has
cooked his supper and how sweet
and pretty she looks in that new
dress. 1t matters not whether her
husband be the master of a million.

Women Eyeing Women.

The cycling of women by women
is one of the most offensive mani
festations of superciliousness now
to be met with in society. Few OBJ
servant persons can have failed to
notice the manner in which one
woman, who IS not perfectly kind
hearted, will eye another woman
whom she thinks is not in such
good society, and, above all, not at
the time in so costly dress as she
herself is in. 1t is done every =
where; at parties, at church, in the
street. 1t is done by women in all
conditions of life. The very SER
want girls learn it of their mistress
es. 1t is done IN an instant. Who
cannot recall hundreds of Instances
of that sweep of the eye which takes
in at a glance the whole woman,
and what she has on, from top
knot to shoe-top2 Men are never
guilty of it, or, with such extreme
rarity, and then in such feeble and
small-souled specimens of their sex,
that it may be set down as sin not
masculine or at least epicure. But
women of sense, of some breeding,
and even of some kindness of ma
ture, will thus endeavor to assert a
superiority upon the meanest of all
pretenses and inhict a wound in a
manner most cowardly, because it
cannot be resented, and admits of
no retort. If they but only knew
how unlovely, how positively often
sive they make themselves In so do
ing, not only TO their silent victims,
but to every generous hearted man
who observes the maneuvres, they
would give up a triumph at once so
mean and SO cruel which is obtained
at such { sacrifice on their part.
No other evidence than this cycling
is needed, that woman, whatever
be her birth or breeding, has q
small and vulgar soul.

Don't forget, my girl, that your
influence as a woman is great foI
good or evil. Upon woman de-
wolves che duty of training up the
future men of the nation. 1t is the
mother who molds the character;
under gentle influence the youthful
mind receives its first impressions.
Ia society she is queen and all men
are her subjects. Therefore she
must be careful in her department.
BY WORD or even look, she can
encourage or effectually check all
attempts at familiarity. If women,
and especially girls, would do this
1T they would show their dis
pleasure at what they know is
wrong-it would not be repeated in
their presence. Though the az
gressor might feign anger, in his
heart he would feel more true re
spect for one who had thus reproved
him than il she had passed his fault
unrebuked. And again, don't make
yourself cheap-within the reach of
all. Few young men want anything
to do with a cheap young lady. For
a wife none but a tool or rascal
will approach such a woman. Cheap
jewelry nobody will touch if he can
get any better. Cheap girls are
nothing but the refuse; and the
young men know it, and they will
look in every other direction for
lifelong friend and companion be
fore they will give a glance at the
pinchback stud that tinkles at
every turn for fascinating the eyes
of any that will look. You think
it is quite the correct thing" to talk
loudly and coarsely, be boisterous
and hoydenish in sill public places;
to make yourself so bold, and for
ward, and commonplace every
where that people wonder if you
ever had a mother, or home
or anything TO do, So be it.
You will probably be taken for
what you are worth, and one of
these years, if you do not make
worse than a shipwreck of yourself,
you will begin to wonder where
the charms are that once you
thought yourself possessed of, and
what evil spirit could have so be
fooled you.

Women are, in all enlightened
countries, the keepers of the gates
of society, and carry the keys on
their proper person. Hence society,
in it's strictly social sense, always
has been and always must be con-
ventional. Society admits only
those whom women approve.
