The Newspaper in "a Farmhouse.
The bay.

People who live in the great thor
oughfares, where they have access to
two or three dailies and a half-doZcn
weeklies, do not fully appreciate the
value Of newspaper. They come,
indeed, to look upon them as necessi-
ties, and they as cheerfully do without
their morning meals as their morning
mail. But one must be far off in the
country, remote from the " madden
ing crowd, TO realize the full luxury
of a newspaper. The farmer who re.
celves but one newspaper week does
not glance over its columns hurriedly,
with an air Of impotence, as does the
merchant or the lawyer. He begins
with the beginning and reads to the
close, not permitting a news item or
an advertisement TO escape his eye.
Then it has 10 be thumbed by each
member of the family looking for
things in which he or she is most inter-
ested. The grown-up daughters look
for the marriage notices, and are de-
lighted if the editor has treated them
to love story. The son, who is just
about to engage in farming, with the
enthusiasm that will carry him far in
advance of his father, reads all the
crop reports, and has keen eye for
improved modes of culture. The
younger members of the family come
in for the amusing anecdotes and
scraps of fun. All look forward to the
day that shall bring the paper with the
liveliest anticipations, and if by some
unlucky chance it fails to come, it is a
bitter disappointment. One can hardly
estimate the amount Of information
which paper that is not only read but
studied, can carry into family. They
have, week by week, spread before
their mental vision a panorama of the
busy world, its fluctuations and lis vast
concerns. 1t is the poor mans library,
and furnishes as much mental food as
he usually has time to consume and
digest. No one who has observed how
much those who are far away from the
places where men most congregate
value their weekly paper can fail to
join in invoking a blessing on this
means of intellectual enjoyment.

Eyer speak in Tonea of Kindness.

Ever speak IN tones OF kindness
To the sad and weary heart,
Never let al unkind answer
Cause a bitter tear ~ start.
For how many spirits broken,
Crushed beneath world OF care
Have been cheered by kind words spoken,
CLeered their weary load to bear
None the human soul can fathom.
None its mJ steries explore.
IT'S a wonderful creation,
Launched on times eventful shore.
And while earth its wings shall ira mmel,
Few the pages we may cad,
But in glory We may view it,
When from mortal vesture freed.
Like an instrument of music
II is delicately strung.
Then never let a note OF sorrow
From its tender chords be wrung.
But may gentle words awaken
Sounds OF joy, and peace, aud love,
Such AS angel CHI oirs are breathing
10 the courts of light above.
Then e'er speak in tones of kindness
To the sorrow stricken heart,
And ne r let word or action
Cause the bitter tear TO start.
For how many spirits broken,
Bow'd beneath load of care,
Have been ch-ered by kind wor DIS spoken,
Cheer their daily cross to bear.

THE pretty Alsatian peasant hats are
very much worn by young girls. Some
times the fiat, velvet-lined brim is
caught up lightly at one side, but it is
generally worn in genuine peasant style
and the wreaths of flowers on the out
side are made to match the color OF the
Innings. A sweet little hat in this style
is Of dark green straw, faced with pale

A BashfuI Bridegroom.

Senator Sebastian, of Tennessee, tells
this story: +" When was young | was
the most bashful boy west of the AL
leghanies wouldn't look at a girl,
much less to speak to a maiden but
for all that fell desperately in love
with sweet, beautiful neighbor girl.
1t was a desirable match on both sides,
and the old folks saw the drift, and fix
ed it up. | was a gawky, awkward
country lout, about 10 years old. She
was an intelligent, refined, and fairly
we'll educated girl, in country and at
a time when the girls had superior adj
vantages. and were, therefore, superior
to the boys. fixed the day as far off
as could have it put. l lay awake in
cold perspiration as the time drew
near, and shivered with agony as l
thought of the terrible ordeal. The
dreadful day came. l went through
with the programme somehow in daz-
eG, confused, mechanical sort of way.
The guests one by one departed, and
my hair began to stand on end. felt
like fleeing to the woods, spending the
night in the barn, leaving for the West
never to return. was deeply devo-
ted to Sallie. / loved her harder than
mule can kick but that dreadful or
deal could not, | dared not stand
it. Finally the last guest was gone, the
bride retired, the family gone to bed,
and | was left with the old man. "John,"
said he, "you take that candle you
will find your room just over this,
Good night, John, and may the Lord
have mercy on your SOUL" and with a
mischievous twinkle of the eye, the old
man left the room. When | heard
him close distant door, staggered to
my feet, and seized the candle with
nervous grip. | knew that it could
not be avoided and yet | hesitated to
meet my fate like man. A happy
thought struck me. l hastily climbed
the stair, marked the position of the
landing, and the door of the bridal
chamber. l would have died before l
wsuld have disrobed in that bridal
chamber, where awaited me a trembling
and beautiful girl. | would make the
usual preparations without, blow out
the light, open the door, and friendly
darkness would at least mitigate the
horror of the situation. 1t was soon
done. Preparations for retiring were
few and simple in their character in
Hickman, altogether consisting of dis
robing. The dreadful moment had
come | was ready l blew out the
light, grasped the door knob with a
deathly grip and nervous clutch one
moment and it would be over. leaped
within, and there around a glowing
hickory fire, with candles brightly burn
ing on the bureau, was the blushing
bride, surrounded by the six lovely
bridesmaids.

the Heavenly Hue.

Blue Is naturally the most beautiful
color, or, as 1t sometimes seems, sug-
gesnon of color, that was ever crea-
ted. Unhappily the eye of the world
is more familiar with the abuse than
with the proper use of the wondrous
shade. No man or woman ever enjoy
ed Blue Monday-no man ever adored
blue stocking-and nobody likes to
be blue. And yet every woman with
any pretensions TO blonde beauty says,
with pretty pout, Blue, you know,
is my color" The man to whom she
is telling this delectable bit of news
thinks it must be true because-well,
angels wear blue. But, bless you, that
il 1t takes an angel to wear it. The
sweet girl we all know, with fair skin,
light eyes and brown hair, should avoid
all tones of blue save the very dark,
which will bring out the whiteness of
her skin, make it look shell-like and
give depth to her rather inexpensive
eyes. The only blonde who can wear
heavenly blue with good result is the
Spanish blonde, she who has, with rosy
complexion and golden hair, eyes,
brows and lashes of dark brown or
black. And she, in her perfection, is
seldom seen. In Baltimore specially
noticeable among her many beautiful
women is type that belongs to histo-
ry. The women with the pale COM
plexion, dark eyes and Titan red hair,
most blessed among women is she !
Titan painted her; Catherine de Med
lei left strand of her hair to show
that she belonged to the same order,
and Eastern sages say that Lilith, the
beautiful wife first given to Adam, was
such woman. Gust how the men OF
the East found this out is an editorial
secret.) Who dressed these women in
blue !? Not Titan, for he showed them
in deep crimson velvets. Catherine
wore gorgeous browns and royal pur-
plies, while rs to Lilith, who can doubt
her selecting the deepest green leaves
to form her tunic
These tones gid the refined gold,
while blue, cold and severe, makes the
clear skin look unhealthily pallid, the
dark eyes startled, and brings out the
glaring tints of the hair, that is in reali.
ty magnificent in its wondrous beauty.
We do not mean that our modern Lii.
it'll may not wear knot of blue rib
bons but we do mean that blue gowns,
blue feathers and blue parasol Innings
are to be avoided. Now, blonde girls,
to whom nature has given an immense
amount of common sense, just think
this all over and see if the world is not
wise, and acknowledging that, let it be
sufficient. We are willing to adore
you, collectively and individually, but
we prefer that you should be in be-
coming gown, SO that with truth on
our lips, admiration looking from our
eyes, we can say, as did dear old
Sake:
IL bard OF old the truth have told.
The sirens have raven hair
But Ger the earth, since art had birth,
They raj ut the angels fair.
