AS we journey along the road of life we
find the time filled up with busy cares and
ceaseless work; we are apt To forget the
simple things that once gave us such dear
delight when the heart was young and ten.
der and full OF promises as fragrant AS the
blossoms whose perfume guided our wan
dering feet 10 their abiding place.
Is it not ruey We do forget these "sim.
Pile things" The real world of every day
presses down upon us. The we'll springs
of tender heart are choked up, Alas,
we do forget 1t is we'll that there should
be a "TecumSeh" to remind us of them, to
freshen the hearts and recall the sweets of
the long agone:"-
Why need We forget, as the time passes
on, the old loves that would help to make
the sky more radiantly beautiful, the bloom
of the roses more lovely, the evening of
life something that calls not entirely for
regrets and bitter repningS.
All, why indeed? But youth is An icon

The rustling of happy leaves, the glad
blossoming of flowers, the rich flood of bird
song cannot keep pace with the wild young
ardor, the eager glow and impulse of our
nature, the plans laid, the new schemes be.
gun the restless joy of climbing from one
height to another, the grand things to be
done and dared, the lovely imaginings and
delicate fancieS.
And manhood is engrossed in business
cares, while old age forgetS until, per
chance, as "Tecumseh" truly remarks
there comes
A moment when the swift electric chain
of memory is touched by an old song, u
mothers lullaby, the fragrance of once
familiar blossom, and the spring time airs
blowing over the meadows again; the fair
brave dreams with which you started out
in life come back with tlutter of their
white wings; the tears gather and you
once more hear the sweet prayers that fell
from a mothers lips: the loving Counsels
that came from a fathers heart, and you
stand in the long ago with the old hopes,
longings and aspirations, tender hearted
boy again;
And you bring out the cold letters, that
breathe the perfume of vanished past
and read them over
The years will come back full of elo.
quent and pathetic voices-old friends that
helped you over the rough places, that
cheered you on with hopeful words, that
stimulated your ambition, and gave you
love and comfort Can you ever replace
them in your heart, those who helped to
shape your life and influence for good
your destiny? All those memories take
your thoughts away from self, keeping the
heart more tender, more humane, more
generous?
Oh, the old loves! Could we all see the
pathetic and poetic side of them, AS TIE
cumseh" does, one couldn't have too many
of them. Can one have too much of
good thing as Shakespeare, TecumSeh's
illustrious predecessor hath it Therefore
let us take his advice and "recal often
those old-time memories of faces we have
loved" and in our ecstacies let us not for
get the gallant "Tecumseh," and sigh with
the poet, with all thy faults we love thee
still" Price 81 per annum

1t is certain Col Plumb will never SET
the canal atire by his speeches in congress
or out of it. As public speaker he is
vastly the inferior OF Mr. Cullen, who is
not by any means a speaker; and in 20
minutes would put any audience in the
world asleep with his tedious slowness of
speech md the mounting of his words
His matter is good except when he gets TO
the windy part Of political talk where he
is complete failure In thi, line of

say less than most men who .peechify

Somehow in thinking of Gen, JAS Te-
cumseh Cunningham our mind runs con.
stantly on the wheel of fortune so busy last
week. Perhaps because we have been so
stepped in the poetry of Tecumseh's con

the life of us, escape the poetry of the
wheel-the very poetry of shape amt mo-

But, in spite of his assurances, the
lurking terror never LETT Lucy's eyes,
though weeks sped safely by, and nothing
occurred to alarm her. Every sudden
noise made her start; the sight OF a
strange figure on the road banched her
roses to paleness. Except for this fear
fulness, she proved an excellent "hel,"
in all ways-quick, neat-fingered, sweet
tempered. Old Barbara wondered how
the farm had ever got along without her,
and John in his secret heart wondered
also. 1t never should be without her
again-on that he was firmly resolved.
Lucy" he said one dav, three months
after she became his inmate, I'm tired
of seeing you jump and culver, and scut-
tie up stairs whenever the peddler or rag
man comes along. It's bad for you. and
it worries me almost to death. Now,

Study Your Work.

No class of men bring so little profess
sional knowledge and capacity tor study
ing and systemizing their work to aid
them as the farmer, Yet, as we look
abroad upon the vast amount Of plan
ming necessary to success upon farm
and the vast and varied resources at the
command OF the farmer, this fact seems
strange If broadness OF purpose and
variety Of material for labor require a
broad and varied knowledge upon every
branch relating to a subject, then. certain
". il would seem that the farmer should
be equipped with all the professional
knowledge it is possible for him to ac-
quire But, as a complete course OF study
Is impossible for many, they should famil-
iarize themselves with their work by care
ful and painstaking study. By close OBJ
servation Of every varying circumstance
that falls to their notice. BY noting every
new idea that appears IN agricultural pa
pers, and also by stepping out OF the usual
course and trying something new that
NAV seem to them to be an improvement.
DO not take everything for granted, or
believe that just the methods that did
well for our ancestors are still the best
for us. But strive TO keep abreast OF the
times by careful study and such expert
ments as are within your reach.-O1tord
Democrat.
II is pleasing to note that within the
past lfw years the farmer OF Maine has
availed himself, to certain extent. OF
the constantly increasing facilities for the
extension of the knowledge most nearly
connected with his welfare. Probably no
other vocation has made such rapid strides
as has agriculture under the hands OF the
farmer of this State. From the crudest
methods Of agriculture he has raised
it by experiment, observation and IN
yestigation, until it has taken front
rank among the various branches OF
manual labor But this is not enough
New DAYS bring new ideas, and the
future Of the agriculturist presents new
phases as startling as any known in
the past. In addition to the various
papers, the State has published nu-
merous works on this subject and particu-
larly adapted to the wants OF the Maine
farmer Much may be obtained from
these. but like any other class OF work
personal investigation is of the greatest
practicable value.

Wells.

1t is supposable that wells are worn
principally for ornament, and not for use,
as they are too fragile to afford any ma
terial warmth They may cover some de-
fects, or may improve personal appear
ance in certain cases. They are of no real
advantage in any respect, as it seems to
me. and are Objectionable in two particu-
lars at least. 1t is impossible tor the
wearer to secure pure air. as the veil pre-
vents the free supply, while it retains IA
part of the foul gases thrown off by breath
ing. This is not natural breathing.
Again, they must impair the sight, as
the eye was not made to be thus blinded.
Natural sight is secured when perfectly
free from all distractions, even the usual
glasses being disadvantage, taxing the
ewes more than natural sight The prin-
cipal advantage of glasses-as a neces-
sity-is modifying the intensity of the
light, to be worn only when that light is
too glazing, producing pain. Ia advanced
age, the eye-lens may become so changed
as to demand a magnifying lens to enable
the aged to see ut all, yet sight is more
fatiguing than when no obstacle is placed
between the eye and the object seen, if
that object can be placed where it may be
seen at all. While the magnitiers must
be used in certain cases, there is no posi-
tive necessity for the wells, tor animals,
for men or women, beyond the demands
of fashion. often exceedingly tyrannical
in its degrees. | will add that the eye
suffers more. from the absence of a good
light than from excess. though the ex-
tremes in both cases should be avoided.
Just to the extent that the veil darkens,
rendering the sight labored or imperfect.

1t is composed of the most efficacious
Alternative. diuretic, and tonic drugs known
in pharmacy. among which are the
genuine Honduras SarsaRarilla, Yellow
Dock. StilIingia, and the Iodides of PotaS-
sum and Iron.
1t is a highly concentrated medicine,
scientifically and honestly compounded so
as to secure TO it the highest degree of
activity and perfect uniformity.
1t has received the hearty endorsement
of the leading men in the medical profess
sion, who recognize it as a standard phar-
macenical preparation, and prescribe it
in their practice.
1t contains no poisonous minerals or
other dangerous drugs, the use of which
for temporary effect in the many crude
and cheap mixtures sold as alternatives,
produces effects on the system often worse
than the diseases they are offered to cure.
1t costs no more than any other, but
would still be the cheapest blood-purify-
ing medicine in the world, even were its
price three times greater, since it is the
only one that does real, lasting good"
