A MAIDEN's blush is a pure,
delicate and beautiful hue, indlca-
ting womanly modesty. Nl,health
aud i'll look have caused many la
dies to resort to artificial means
of imparting this delicate hue, but
nothing equals the pleasing t'nts
Of nature. However, there Is a
means by which nature can be
brought to your assistance, which
will mantle your cheeks with beau,

ture, will brighten your dropping

The sugar crop of this Parish
will be short. The stand was
very bad last spring, the cane
having been injured by the severe
winter of last year, whole mats
having been burnt in the field, the
farmers were unable to plant as
much land as usual. Many cut a
large portion of their crop, three
weeks ago, in order to have seed
cane for next crop, which will be
very large if the winter continues
mid. Mr.. Areas sugar mill has
been running since two weeks,
we are made aware Of it by the
shrill shrieks of the s,eam whistle,
adapted to his sugar house boilers.

We would be pleased to know
the name of a man Or woman who
has never had headache, and who
was never subject to constipation,
As these are universal troubles. a
little advice might not 60 amiss.
Many noted physicians assert that
it is useless and even hazardous
to always be examining your stom-
ach with nauseating purgative
pills, as they sicken and debilitate.
Use a mild purgative, one that
will cool the stomach and act
upon the liver and bowels with
ease and effectiveness. Such a
remedy is Bailey's SALINE ApEEI-
ENT.

Notwithstanding the severity
Of the last cold snap cattle are
looking well. It was apparent
that they were suffering during its
prevalence, nevertheless, should
the weather continue mild, we
must snlmise that there will be
no loss amongst them from the
severity Of the present winter.
The grass has been damaged to a
great extent, and it has lost its
green color. ...
