A fine head of natural hair is certainly
very great adornment. Well brushed,
glossy, smoothly hair used to
be the ambition and the pride, or per-
haps the envy and despair of every
young lady. In latter days We have
seen strange changes in feminine opinion
on this subject. All sorts of wild and
picturesque confusion, crimps, fluffs,
ringlets, false pieces of every description,
have deiormed heads which might else
have been graceful. But bangs and
montague curls have capped the very
climax of ugliness. The prettiest and
most piquant face grows commonplace
under their spell. The brow. noblest
part of the countenance. is concealed
beneath a straight or tangled mat, and
undue prominence Is accorded to the
lower parts of the face. We wish our
girls would resolve never to wear
banged hair or montague curled hair,
unless they wish to be taken for lunatics
on tramp.
To keep the hair in good condition,
eschew pomades. bandoline and ungu
ents. Brush it frequently with clean,
dry brush. Cleanse the brush once n
week with borax, or few drops OF
ammonia. Let the hair be loose and
free at night, and in the daytime coil it
in some loose and easy way. fastening
it with as few hairpins as possible

In Harvest Day.
Thro' Farmer Gale wide fields passed

Thro' Farmer Gale wide fields passed
Just yestercvei
My wook OF halliday wna spent,
And idly on the etilc cant,
Taking my leave
OF all the fair and smiling plain,
Wood. vale and hill,
And all the homoly household hand,
CHE warm grasp OF each kindly hand
Bides with me still);
And was sad. Tho stricken grain
Around me lay;
l could but think Of silent glade
OF buds and blossoms lowly laid
Tho harvest day.
"And this is all !" sadly said
"These withered leaves
This gathered grainl Spring hours OF bliss
And summers glory turn TO this
Some yellow shcaves"
Then Farmer Gaie-that good old man,
So simply wise
Who overheard, and quickly turned,
Said, while spark OF anger burned
In his gray eyes:
"Lad, thou art town-bred, knowing naughi
Whereof thou pra,est!
For, be the flower us lair as May,
The fruit il yields in harvest day
Is still tho greatest!
"And thou-thy spring shall quickly pass; !;
Fast iall the leaves
From liie's frail tree. In harvest day
See that before thy Lord thou lay
Some yellow sheaves."
He went his way; mine; and now
hear the flow
OF busy lie in crowded street
OF eager voices, hurrying feot,
To como and 80.
Yet e'en while flashing factory looms
My hands engage,
see that iar-of upland plain
Its long, long rows of gathered grain,
Its rustic sage,
And hear them say. "I,et pleasures fair,
And passions vain,
And youthful follies, Jade and die;
But all good deeds, pure thoughts and high
Like golden grain,

That only grows
In hearts besprinkled with the blood
That evermore-a sacred flood
From Calvary flows!

Then to thy feet, oh, lot me come,

citrate their crystal wedding, their
silver wedding, their golden we'd

three children's graves they had
wept, but through all struggles of
life they kept the Christian faith.
They lived for God, TO each
other, for their children and
for everybody but themselves.
Their hair whitened and their
steps grew shorter and their voices
lrembled in the church psalm,

ones were well mated. What was
the joy of one was the Joy of the
other. What was the sorrow of
one, the sorrow of the other. At
last they parted. Three years
precedence in departure did the
Lord give her. Though deeply
sympathetic man, l never saw my
father cry but once and that was
on the day Of mothers burial
You see they had been together
fifty-nine years. In her last mo-

Father, would 1t not be pleasant

offer, of more nuts than he could gather
in lifetime, aroused within the breast
of this young squirrel the demon of the
love of gain-an evil spirit that slumbers
in the hearts of men as well as of squir-
rels awaiting Just such tempting offers
Without stopping to reflect that he did
not need barrel full of nuts, and that
he could easily gather what he needed
daily, he at once accepted the offer. But,
alas he found the lion a hard taskmaster !;
all present neloyment was now sacrificed.
He was kept toiling night and day, ex-
posed to the rain and to the sun-at times
so hungry and so faint he was afraid he
should die before his task was finished !;
but he kept his courage up with the
thoughts of the happiness that would be
his when he should have gained the re-
ward, and how he would be the envy of
of all the other squirrels when he should
retire from his labors upon barrel full
of nuts. At last, when he was old, and
thin, and gray and nearly dead, the lion
called him up one morning, and said that
he had no further use for him, and rolled
out the barrel full of nuts Oh, how his
heart bounded at the sight He was
now to receive the hard earned and much
coveted reward; and as he takes one of
the nuts in his paws, he thinks it is the
largest and finest he has ever seen. But
sad to relate, when he attempts to crack
it and to taste the fruit of his labor, he
makes the appalling discovery that he
has lost has teeth!

A Letter from a Convict.

Yes, my dear teacher, 1 can trace away
back to the days of my youth, the first
step in crime, that resulted in bringing
me here. l well remember the Sunday
morning, when | was ten or twelve years
old, that my mother, after fixing me all
up, said;
Now, Edward, you go right to the
Sunday School"
Yes, mother, 1 answered, and start
ed. When I got to the church, instead
of walking in I stood on the steps with
some other boys. Some of the boys said
e" Let us go down to the beach and have
a swim" Three of us started and went
in swimming" as we called it. Then
we went back to the church. We found
the service had begun Then it was
proposed that we go and get some Of DIR.
IS cherries, that hung temptingly
over the road, little way off. We got
up into the tree and began to pick and eat.
The Doctor saw us from his window. AT
ter we had got enough, we came down
and hung around, till meeting was out,
land then went home.
Mother said, "Have you been to meet
ing?"
Eyes, mother" 1 answered.
The next morning a constable came.
| was taken before justice and sent to
the common Jail for five days.
That was the starting point. After
that, it was easy to tell lie; it was
easy to take small things. That led me
to bad company. There were plenty
who were ready to say, Good boy; you
are brick; been to Jail" 1 thought it
grand thing. Bad company led me to
drink, and through drink I came here.
This was not all done once. Oh no.
Satan does not do his work So That
crime was done thirty years ago, but that
was the seed sown that was destined to
take root and bear fruit.
But | hope God in his mercy will let
other seed, that was sown about that time,
take root, and that, in his own good time,
they, too, will bear fruit; that the dear
mother, who I know is praying for me
without ceasing, may be able to say,
q" God be praised, my prayers are heard
at last"
But, my dear teacher, it seems a long
way off to me. l pray continually, bnt
it seems to me have been too great a
sinner But shall trust in him, and
hope, though my sins are as scarlet, they
may become white as snow, in the blood
of the Lamb. never knew what it was

The Earlier the Easier.

One day I stood at locked gate which
led to beautiful green field Between
the closed gate and the stone wall was a
small opening, but [ could not push
through it, even if it were to save my life
A band of little children came tripping
up, and one after another went up to the
narrow opening, and without any Difficult
ty slipped through, and were in the play
ground. | could not but think how easy
it is for children to get in and 1 remem-
bered the text which tells of another gate
easier for children to enter than fol-

Strait is the gate and narrow is the
way that leadeth unto life, and few there
be that find it. Hiatt. vji IA.

He's such little fellow, Uncle Joe,
to fight such big dog as thatr'
" With teeth and claws, too, and a
hundred times stronger than he"
Did you know he could beat him?''
"Of course did"
He knew just how to use his spurs,

That's it, Parry. He didn't have
much, but he knew just what to do with

Guess the dog knows it too now. He
won't chase any more of our chickens. "
Hell keep out of this yard for a
while. He's got his lesson.
So had Parry; and Uncle Joe would
not let him forget it. 1t would be a

wise than game-cock, and not to be able
to use all the natural gifts he had.
