Barnet. ...... 90
Rev. N. R. Nichols was taken violent
ly i'll Monday of this week, with in
flammation of the bowels, and although
he was reported much better Tuesday,
yet his physicians say it will be several
weeks, at least, before he will be able
to preach, and that his attack was
brought on by over-wOrk.
On Wednesday the I'd of July, there
was pleasant gathering of members
and friends at the parsonage of Barnet
Centre, to welcome home their pastor,
Rev. R. N. Hammond, and his wife.
The house, which had stood for some
time tenantless, had been put in good
order without and within. The Ladies'
Missionary Society presented a cham
Der set, and one family gave a hand
some lounge. These and other articles
presented or provided beforehand by
the pastor, having been duly arranged
by skillful hands, and the pastors libra
ry transferred from his bachelor quarters
at Mr.. John Gilfillan's, to the shelves
of the study, nothing was lacking to
make the old house like itselfagain but
the "mistress of the manse," who now
arrives with her husband, and is duly
installed with kind greetings from all
and many good wishes. There were no
no speeches and other formalities, but
of course there were well filled tables
to give Il substantial turn to the well
come.

The Philosophy Of Wrinkles.

Time and physical suffering cause the
creases about the eyes more than anything
else. Therefore. with proper attention to
your health, you have it in your power to
avoid many of those Nervous suffering
often gives a hard look To the mouth, and
sometimes pulls it out of shape. We all of
us that are worth anything must 90
through more or less of it. But the spirit
in which we bear il will be sure to leave
its impress about the most mobile of all
the features of the face. Pain of all kinds,
anguish, agony, care, wrinkle the fore
head from temple to temple. Thought and
passion increase it perpendicularly
between the brows. All these outward
manifestations of the internal conflict that
goes on in every one of us from day to
day are, to some extent, within the control
of our will but they do not yield one iota
to all the cosmetics in the world. You
have a certain feeling, and your face takes
on certain lines, and in proportion to the
recurrence of that feeling those lines
deepen. But you may, by the exercise of
your willpower, keep that feeling in check
to a certain extent, and to a certain extent
also control the lines of your face. This
is all the preventive or cosmetic that
there is for wrinkles. So save the money
you have put aside for any other socalled
cure of them, and use it for a better
purpose. There can be no real and lasting
beauty without truth. Try to be true TO a
noble ideal all through. This is the foun-
dation. the corner stone to true and beauty.
An attractive face is not a made-up one,
it is the face of one on good terms with
his or her own soul. Yes, that is the grand
secret OF all efficacIous cosmetics for the
face. Be on good terms with your own
soul; and secondly, treat your body with
all the respect and reverence that are due
to the temple of the soul.-[Domestic
