From Michigan.

MORRIS, MICH, APRIL, IL, lSS4.
To the Editors of the Standard:
As this is the first time we have
asked for space in your valuable pa
per, we hope it will be given US. On
Tuesday, November 5, 's3 1 left my
home in Jackson Co., Ohio, for Mich
igan, accompanied by Misses Lolita
Lake and Matte Jenkins, two Of my
former and most intimate friends.
We arrived the following day at Mrs.
T. M. Athertons, Gaines, Michigan,
formerly Miss Abbie Lake Of Jack
son, Ohio,) finding her in very poor
health, and mourning the loss Of her
kind and affectionate husband, who
died August Doth 1888. The poet
may say:
"Our brothers gone! He slumbers low,
In deaths dominion bound;
In calm, unbroken peace to rest,
Till the Judgment trumpet sound" !"
Sunday the 10th we went to Mr..
and Mrs. John A. Lakes, formerly
residents Of Ohio, now living in a
pleasant home in Shiawassee County,
Mich. When we arrived there Mr..
and Mrs. Lake had gone to church, as
usual, but they soon returned, and we
had a happy greeting. I have been
in Michigan over 5 months visiting
friends, and have now commenced
months term Of school in Shiawassee
County, have taught one week. 1
have pleasant school and pleasant
place to teach. No. Of pupils 27. The
school books here are different from
the school books in Ohio, which makes
it more interesting to me. We have
a morning lesson in the testament, in
which all the pupils join in reading.
But this is only request Of the Di-
rectors, therefore it is not practiced in
all schools of Mich. I have heard
people say, they used to read the
scripture in school in olden times.
I think there is nothing amiss in
reading the scripture in school every
morning. We are required to teach
Morality in our schools, and is not
the Bible a great boon in helping to
carry out this theory? Is it not well
to remember that book is compan-
ion, and we become by constant asso-
citation, what that companion is. We
grow better by coming in contact
with the good. We rise to higher
plane as the motive influencing US, is
Of high and noble type.
Through your paper we learned
that last winter was the coolest, in
Ohio, you have had for 20 years.
think we have had a pleasant win
ter here, although we had great deal
Of snow.
Snow fell during holidays, and did
not leave us till about the middle of
March; good sleighing all that time.
But Spring has come; grass and
wheat look green, prospects are good
for a rich harvest. This is a good
wheat country, fruit in abundance. I
think this is better country, for far
mers in every respect, than Ohio.
Still, we are not in a country in which
that greatest of evils Intemperance)
does not dwell. Thursday eve, 10th
inst, there was a man in this neigh
borhood who was run over by the
train, and horribly mangled, almost
beyond recognition. He had been
drinking heavily, had lain down on
the track, and was killed by the train.
A neck Of bottle and handful of
broken glass was found near his body.
So much for King Alcohol. The man
was Catholic, Sc years of age, served
3 years in the war.

The constantly tired-out" feeling
so often experienced is the result Of
impoverished blood, and consequent
enfeebled vitality. Ayers Sarsapar-
lila feeds and enriches the blood, in
ereases the appetite, and promotes di-
gestion Of the food, and the assimil-
alton of its strengthening qualities,
The system being thus invigorated,
the feeling rapidly changes to a CRATE
ful sense of strength and energy.

Extreme Tired Feeling.

A lady tells us "the first bottle has
done my daughter a great deal Of
good, her food does not distress her
now, nor does she suffer from that er-
treme tired feeling which she did be-
fore taking Hoods Sarsaparilla." A
second bottle effected a cure. No
other preparation contains such con-
centration of vitalizing, enriching,
purifying and invigorating properties
as Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Ayers Cathartie Pills are the best
medicine that can be employed to
correct Irregularities Of the stomach
and bowels. Gentle, yet thorough,
in their action, they cure constipa-

and the appetite, and cleanse, build
up, and strengthen the system.

AYERS
Hair rVigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness Of
youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and .stimu-
lates weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is mequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MIR. P. BRIcHER writes from Kirby, o.,
July 3, 1882 " Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in short time l became
nearly bald. l used part of bottle OF
AYER's HAIR YIGoR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started a new growth,
have now a full head of hair growing Vigor-
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation should have been
entirely bald.''
j. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the 1lcArthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, says AYERS HAIR VIGOR
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
1 speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth OF of new ] hair, and and
sure cure for dandrutf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
MIR. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the
celebrated Fairbairu Fanlily'' Of SSattish
Yocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, Feb. 6,
1SSp: " Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which feeting
time procureth, have used AYERS HAIR
VIGoR, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and i'll fact every one who lives
III the eyes of the public"
Mrs. o. 4. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm
ST., ChdriestOicH Mass, Aprit H. 1882, says ::
"Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came off. 1t tlIinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGoR the falling stopped and Il new growth
commenced, and in about month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. l regularly used but one bottle
of the VIGoR, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing"
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoE. 1t
needs but trial to convince the most skepti-
cal of its value,

We mentioned, last week, the ef-
fort being made by the town author
tiles to lease for term of years the
old Jail building for municipal pur-
poses. If they should be successful
in securing the lease, there will be
some changes made in the building,
for instance, arches will be cut in the
lower rooms, front, and one used as
an engine house, and the other for
keeping hose, hose-reel, SC. Upstairs,
there are splendid rooms for Mayors
Office and Council Chamber, and, by
removing a partition, fine large
Police Court Room will be secured.
The Corporation would then pur-
chase three horses, which would be
worked on the streets in the day time
and kept in stalls prepared for them,
say, where the rear porch now is, at
night, The man who worked the
horses on the streets would attend to
them. As men are already hired to
work on the streets, this would incur
scarcely any additional expense.
This location is peculiarly fitted for
such purposes, being in the center of
town and on top Of the hill, so to
speak, giving a good outlook and
starting point in any direction. The
Corporation is already paying two
hundred dollars year for a Mayor S
Office, and will shortly be compelled
to erect a new calaboose So it would
seem much cheaper in the long run to
lease the Jail building. And we are
certain it is the best thing the Com
missioners can do to lease it. No
bodyy wishes to see the building
standing there idle.

LOATHSOME LIVING !
WOMEN AND CHILDREN LIVING LIKE
PICS OR RATS

Some tine ago we spoke Of a poor
woman who was thrust into cellar
on Bridge Street, because she was un-
able to pay the rent for any depart.
ment of the tenement, part Of which
she had been occupying. This wo-
man is the widow Of the late William
Rigdon, and was apparently far gone
in consumption. The Trustees
helped her for long time, but finally
notified her that she must go to the
Infrmary, which she did, but ran
away from that institution and came
back to town. She ever afterward
refused to go back to the Infrmary,
although admitting that Superintend-
ant Harbarger and assistants had
treated her kindly.
She occupied a room in the old ten
ement building until unable to work
to pay the rent, when she was thrust
into the cellar Of a builing on the
premises. This is low place, and
very damp. Here she was kept by
private charity for some days.
On last Wednesday Supt. Harbar-
ger called upon the woman, and per-
suaded her to go to the Infirmary. 1t
seems that the only dread she had at
going was the thought that she
would have to part from her children.
Mr.. Harbarger made satisfactory dis
position of the children-fnding pla-
ces for all but the Oldest girl, who ac-
companies her mother-and the wo-
man consented to go to the Infirm-
ary.
Mr.. Harbarger thinks that with
care the woman may get we'll.
The state of society upon the prem
ises where this woman was found is
horrible, but we have hopes things
will be kept in better shape hereafter,
as the proprietor is very pious man,
and a prominent member Of church
and possibly does not know that these
abuses sometimes occur upon his prem
ises.
