The country Mnman,s Hair.

As a general thing women living in
the country have more beautiful hair
than those living in town, but they do
not arrange it to any advantage. In
this, too, they are very conservative,
and never think of such thing as even
trying to follow the fashions afar off.
They brush the hair back tightly from
the face with brush dipped repeatedly
in water, and twist it into compact
knot at the back of the head, just as
their mothers did before them. If they
ever curl it at all the curling is apt to
be done over heated pipestem or but
ton-hook, so that the most unbecoming
and unnatural kind of llinkiness is the
result. Like Pleasant Riderhood, ''they
never seem able to enter upon any do
nestle undertaking without first twist
ing the hair into knots and tightly
winding it with both hands, while in
the hurry of the operation they carry
their backcombs in their mouths" BY
taking little care of the hair and
studying becoming ways of dressing it,
ten years, at least, would be taken
from the apparent age of the farmers

ONE TEAR THE LESS.

II you have caused one tear the less
Down sorrows cheek to flow;
II you have caused one smile the more
On any face to glow;
Then, friend, you have not lived In vain,
For wheresoer you stray
Through learning's walks, or labor's paths,
Or troubles tangled way,
You still have this bright thought to cheer,
This memory to bless,
That you have caused one smile the more,
And one sad tear the less.
TITS sweet to have the things we prize,
And sweet to be content
With whatsoever lot In life
The Gracious Powers have sent;
But sweeter far to feel and know
That kindly word or deed
May help, through seas Of care and woe,
Some soul In direst need.
When those brave men who stationed are
On many rock bound shore
Put out, at peril of their lives,
Where pillows rage and roar
II they but save from deaths cold grasp
One half-drowned, shipwrecked man
They feel repaid for all their toll,
And all the risk they ran.
And thus II we, by timely aid,
Rendered with loving care,
Can save one SAD and sinking heart
From surges Of despair,
Kind Heaven will smile upon our task
And every effort bless,
II we but cause one smile the more
And one sad tear-drop less.
