Our Faces.

The human face Is not only "the
sensation leaves its indellible impres 8
upon the features. Every human
face, IL studied attentively, reveals
the physical and mental history OF its
pOssessor. On the crouded street OF
the city, what volumes of the e histo-
ries are open to all who would search
themi The miser with his features
drawn as tightly as the mouths OF his
money bags; the debanchee with his
sensual, semi animal face; the young
man with the future fair and broad
before him, every line OF his counto-
nance revealing energy and ambition ;
the maiden's face bright with inno-
cent love and hope,-each OF these
face histories is as legible as the
printed page before you. But there
are other faces in which we may
read sad histories-faces of work
weary women TO whom living has be-
come an irksome burden. The fatal
alphabet OF disease is written upon
every line OF their countenances.
Why will these women suffer from
those painful diseases and weakness
es peculiar to the sex, losing besides
the charm and beauty OF a bright,
beautiful face, when DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is a sure and ef-
fectual remedy? Ladies' who have
used it pronounce it to be lcomen's

Village Libraries.
Pacific school Journal. ]


The great dearth OF little v.l'a.es
scattered everywhere over this coun-
try, is something in the shape of a
library. Gathering places for the
young OF both sexes are needed.
And no gathering place can be so
generally useful, 80 free from obj'c-
ton, with SO goo tendency, both
moral and intellectual, as the library
The great curse Of all the villages Ia
this country, is that "the young men
have no place to 60"
Saloons there are ic plenty-teo
plentiful. Tho souls OF the your g
yearn for companionship, aud il they
can not get it at home. they go to the
tavern. How many teachers in their
country experience have rem Irked
the differance between the yCulg
men and their sisters The girls are
modest, intelligent, amenlb.e to in
struction, and requiring no discipline
The young men are too often awk-
ward, boorish, unwilling to study
more anxious to spend their eve.
nings at the village tavern than at
home.
The cause OF this difference is OBJ
vious. The young men. with their
moro active habits, are not satisfied
with the simple, unvarying round OF
home duties and home plea ures.
They desire other companionship,
and so do their sisters. But in their
case the desire Is an active one,
characteristic OF their sex.
We once heard Anna Dickinson
say that there was but one good way
to save human souls-and that is to
"outbid the devil for them" SO in
the case-if tho thousands OF young
men who now, rapidly aud surely,
are led to ruin, are to be saved and
led to better and more useful life,
it must be by Offering them some
thing better. and more enobling than
the "grog shop"
We repeat it-!et a library be es-
tablished in every little village. A

parents with their sons and daugh-
ters may meet every evening for con-
versation, and song, and reading-a
place to which young man may go

nobling pleasures, and from which
he may seek his couch with a clear
conscience.

II we were farming instead OF pub
lishing an agricultural paper, we
should hold on TO what stock hogs
We might lave, and buy more il we
were able. The information we re-
c-ived through our postal-c card cor
respondents from most parts OF the
State show that stock hogs are scarce.
This is somewhat surprising consid-
eIing the low price at which pork has
been selling during most Of the pack
ing season 1 indicates that owing to
the hard times and tie idce5tedn. -
of farmers they have sold off about
everything they could sell, thus keep
ing down the price during the season,
and making rise certain at its close.
Packers learning that a short crop
for summer packing is inevitable, and
that the supply will be less than usual
next fall and winter, felt safe in hold
ing the stock OF meats on hand for
better prices, which t!ey are already
getting. We think il would be rank
folly now for Western farmers to do.
