the FARMER's GIRL.

Talk not TO me Of city bellies,
Who ne'er have felt the country breezes,
With greetings chill and cold fareweils,
At thought of which the hearts blood freezes
Whose etiquette and city airs
And small talk are enough to kill me;
But oh, for me the country lass.
Whose cordial greeting doth 20 thrill met"
o tell me not of the city girl.
The votary Of fckle fashion,
Whose cold Elusive face foretells
Hcr skill in counterfeiting passion.
Give me the happy farmers girl,
Whose merry, ringing joyous laughter
Wan send q sonnet TO the brain,
Its music sounding ever after.
Sing not song of city bellies,
Who laugh and sneer at country lasses;
They never tripped DER verdant dells,
All carpeted with fragrant grasses;
They never roamed the fiowery fields.
The leafy groves or forest shady,
For they have dressed" or ''shopped" OF
called
Or else at home have played the lady.
Give me the rosy farmers girl
Her cheeks aglow with early rising,
Whose lip is never seen to curl
With scorn ut honest toll. but pricing
Her daily walk mid rural bowers.
In beauty vieing with the graces;
The farmers girls no rogue defiours,
God bless their honest, smiling faces.

The E6eoto Of Tight Clothing on the Per

Now that rational ideas as to dress

Of like nature, II known at all, are

early to indulge in such illusory ideas.

ABOUT TRouT-FlsHlNo.

Few Hints to Young Men who Know
Nothing About tho sport.
The following rules are believed to
be comprehensive; but If you don't see
what you want ask for it. II you don't
want what you see, you don't have to.
In the first place, pick your fishing
grounds. II you can pick somebody's
trout-pond. you are apt to have better
luck. In this case do not obtrude your
self upon the owners attention. He
may have other fish to fry. Trout in
strangers private pond always bite
better at night. So, sometimes do the
dogs.
Before starting on your trout trip,
lay out most of your money on q rod.
This is de rigeur. A split bamboo one
with gold trimmings and a few dia-
monds in the butt, will do. You will
not catch any trout with it. but it Is
useful for catching suckers. of which
you are apt to do q good deal more,
any how. When you go fishing you
can hide it in the bushes and borrow a
bean pole from some country boy.
Trout are fonder OF this sort Of tackle.
Ubi bean iJi patria, is their motto.
AS to flies. don't be too fly-just mus
cous enough. You will need q brown
rain-shackle. an ensanguined ibis. a
roller process miller and shoofly. These
are to stick in your hat To fish, bor-
row some cockroaches from your hotel
and few worms from the above-said
c. b. 1t is also important to carry the
customary bottled bait on your own
hook. The fisherman who can not await
bite with baited breath will not catch
any thing, and doesn't deserve to.
In fishing. do not talk. Trout are apt
to resent such familiarity on the part
of an utter stranger. Wait and do your
talking at the supper table. where you
can introduce them to yourself-fried.
Frying overcomes their clammy re-
serve.
Having fished enough, you can en-
gage the boy from whom you borrowed
the bean pole to catch something for
you. Then resume your diamond.
hilted rod and return to the hotel with
it and your fish.
If you would be the most famous
fisherman that ever lived, you can dc
it very simply. In telling of what you
caught. say invariably that those
which got away we're all small. This
may come hare. at first, for every one

A well known merchant who has been greatly
benefited by joys Vegetable sarsaparila, de-
sired to give it to his wife, who was very delicate
but out of caution first consulted his physician
Dr.. w. H. Griswold OF $50 Market street. The
doct or, who is one of our leading practitioners
objected saying he had never seen sarsa-
parila that did not contain potash, which thinned
the blood; that his patient did not have any
vitality to lose, and that what delicate people
need is not decreased vitality, but more blood
He however consented when assured that joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla was directly opposed to
the old mistaken blood thinning idea OF other
sarsaparillas, and that on the contrary by spe-
oitic vegetable Alternatives it stimulated the eS-
crctory organs, promoted Digestion and repaired
nutrition, hence created new blood and was the
very thing for feeble people. The above explains
the hundreds of cases in which aged, cnfeebled
