A Word to Our Readers.

When you read of a remedy that
will cure all diseases, beware of it;
but when you read of pure vege-
table compound which claims to
cure only one certain part of the
body and furnishes high proof that
it does this, you can safely try 1t,
and with the assurance that it will
help you. This is just what War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
does. 1t cures all troubles OF the
lower portion Of the body and none
Others. 1t will not help the tooth
ache, ear-ache or consumption, but
it will put your body in e vigorous
and healthy state where you can
enjoy life and appreciate its good
things. Try it.

thought that in.such a cabin, under
such conditions, hope could have
kindled in the breast of any boy
high and divine ambition? Who
would have thought that the head
of great nation could ever trace
to such home as this, the coal
that lit up a flame that fifty years
afterward shone with an imperish-
able glory? Let us reverence insti-
tutions that open the avenues of
greatness to all alike. What Kin
died in this boy's bosom the first
light of hope ? Books. Wherever
this boy could borrow books he
borrowed them. II he could not
associate with the great who were
living. he could live with the
mighty dead. "IfI have seen fur
ther than other men," said Sir
Isaac Newton, "It is because
have stood on the shoulders of
giants" This boy stood upon the
shoulders of the illustricus dead,
and from that rude log cabin, with
its clapboard roof. he saw fame's
proud temple shine afar, and its
hospitable doors seemed to open
before him. Lincoln sleeps immor-
tai. But it was denied to the mother
who gave him birth to see him
rise to greatness, or even to suspect
that he could rise above the hard
conditions in which he was born.
Heaven compensates. Let US hope
that while the ashes of the mother
repose here her spirit looks down
with blissful ecstacy upon the
country to which her illustrious
son rendered services which history
will Keep fresh forever.

There are societies In England
and in our Eastern States which
provide help and encouragement
for girls and women in cultivating
themselves, by reading at home
books which shall improve their
minds and give them the pleasant
feeling Of Increasing knowledge.
BY correspondence on given
subject between the woman who
desires to know and the woman
who already knows. sympathy is
established and help is given.
An American society, whose head
quarters are in Boston, Mass, has
had great and widespread success,
but Is, as yet, little known among
US. There is already an agency
here, consisting of several ladies in
and near San Francisco. These
ladies are prepared to furnish lists
Of books which are at once attrac-
tive and instructive, and we give
below some of the rules and the ad.
OtC6o AOt tdto bRtb vi thO
Many entertaining books contain
valuable Information and, If we'll
selected, with a wise plan for pur-
suing one subject conlinuously,win
produce strong impression, so that
works on the same topic will be
relished even if they are of a more
serious nature. 1t is not easy to
select among the macs of books
known only by their titles, such as
will be best to read, and this society
proposes to meet that want. In re-
sponse to a demand in various parts
of the country, it Issues now new
set Of lists, preparatory to those in
the original programme. Useful
reading is not only an occupation,
to be recommended for those who
have plenty of leisure, but re-.
freshment to those whose
daily practical duties are la.
borious. and in either case
1t Is found to contribute to
the health of the lady as we'll as of
the mind. The benefit of such help
for those who have young children
about them asking eager questions
and needing sympathy, is obvious.
In the seventh annual report of the
Secretary, Miss A. Z. Ticknor, of

students for the past year was SS7,

These ladies not only plan out the
work of the students to suit their
