characteristics OF AmcrI-

In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the mrihcrancc Of noble works, and i'm
the advancement OF the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve TO take n high rank,
and through the united works Of millions.
the American continent is fast being
transformed from It's unframed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer.
lean people arc fast, under these influences,
developing into nervous, energetic race.
remarkable for it's vim and business quail
fications; yet there is danger that in the
course Of years these very elements may
combine TO the ruination OF the physical
character Of the people, aud leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
toretathcrs. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
TO bc on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none Of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. =. Il. Ilart-
man, and named by him PRRUNA.
Mr.. : 5. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That hc has been
troubled with general debility and dyspcp-
sia for several years; that he was induced
TO try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles OF the mad-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braccd
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful Nigor. He
ascribes his cure 10 PERUNA, and says il
Is a wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus y Co, Springfield, O.,
writes We are having good sale for
PEVUNA. II sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisac-
ton"
Mrs G. w. Nccdham. Ncwtonvile,
Clcrmont County, Ohio, says: "l have

has restored me to perfect health and

THE PRIMER.
Lesson L.

0ace there were number OF Small
Boys who lived in a Couutry where there
were no Railroads.
These Little Boys got together aud said
they would Play that they were g3iog to
build Railroad.
SO every Day they Met and played that
tEey were building Reilroad many miles
long.
Al last they got tired playing, 50 one OF
the Boys who hadn't been Playing before,
said he would Buy the Railroad from the
other Boys
He said be was rich.
He WAS a Bigger Boy than the other
Boys, and was much Stronger, and some
Of the htte boys seemed to be afraid Of
him,
50 after playing with the Big Boy a
long time, they fell out about the Price
Of the Railroad and they all got mad and
used very naughty words, and the Big
b ~ was going to Whip the Little Boys
and take their railroad away from them
FIR he was a very Bad Boy.
The L'ttle Bnys were sorry that they
Played With him, and said they wouldn't
Play al sll now.
This was al very wrong Ia these Boys
Boys never should fall out in their
Play.
God made Little Boys to lie good and
Kind and to love one another
When these Boys come men they will
have more sense, especially The Little
Boys, and GROW people will think more
Of them. y.

HOME.-What blessing it is to have
a bright and happy home, where the
vexations of business do not enter |
There is no place like home. The world
may fawn upon you and amusement's
enticing allurements steal away all
thought of that dear place. But weary
and exhausted the home couch is sought
where deep and refreshing slumbers
deaden fatigue and care. Home is the
best gift of God-it should be the gar
den of earthly happiness.

BE SATIsFIED.-"I wish could be a
printer" said a good natured, healthy
country lad to us one day last week, af-
ter listening to the silent "click, click"
OF the type. Stop, my young friend.
Wishes are often foolish, and yours in
this particular instance, ridiculously
50. Why, there's not type the cooped-
up printer sets but with it his thoughts
wander to the healthy and free farmer
boy. There is not q piece of copy he
reads, but written between the lines are
scenes of country wildness. The writer
has lived both lives and confesses the
printers is the harder of the two. So
then, stick to the farm. Learn all
about it study how to raise good crops
and farm the ''stick," to raise good
fruit, to have fair cattle and fowls.
Rather be awkard and green and kindly
with all, than cross and quarrelsome
and rough at heart. Success is geDer-
ally matter of application, not posi-
tion. Don't envy the polished but often
empty headed city boy. Stick to the
free, independent life of farmer,
weary though 1t may seem, and be a
substantial part of the hcmespun ma
terial which makes the worth and the
wealth of the country.

1t is hard to estimate the amount
of money lost during severe win.
ter like this. Everybody suffers
more or less. The farmer loses the
extra feed and the growth of his
stock, nearly all he made during the
summer The cost of living and fuel
is double what it is during mild
winter. Business OF all kind is
almost suspended. People cannot
get about to do anything, and the
railroads would be the gamers by
not attempting to move a wheel.
The same might be said about other
classes of business. One railroad
running into Chicago lost $3.50. 900 in
one day, recently on account OF break
ages caused by the blockade,
