Home love is the best love- The love
that you are born to is the sweetest yoa
will ever have on earth. {, You who are anx-
ious to escape from the home must pause q
moment and remember that this is so. 1t IS
right that the hour should come when you.
in your turn, should become wife and
mother and give the best love to Others !;
but that will be just it. Nobody-not a
lover, not a husband-will ever be SO tender
or SO true as your mother and father. New
er again, after strangers have broken the
beautiful bond, will there be anything SO
sweet as the little circle of mother, father
and children, where you were cherished,
protected, praised and kept from harm.
You may not know it now, but you Will
know it some day. Whomsoever you mar
ry, true and good though he may be, will,
after the lover days are over and the honey
moon has waned, give you only what you
deserve of love and sympathy-and usually
much less, never more. You must watch
and be wary lest you lose that love which
came in through the eyes because the one
who looked thought you beautiful. But
those who bore you, who loved you when
you were that dreadful little object, small
baby, and thought you exquisitely beautiful
and wonderfully brilliant-they do not care
for faces that are fairer and forms that are
more graceful than yours. You are their
very own, and so better to them always
than others. .-Selected.

none can blame him for desiring to

that the people Of Portland were in

poor boy. We think different. In
early youth and boyhood he was sur
rounded by the best of influences,
taught right from wrong by Chris

garded. He selected his own path
way, carved bis own destiny and
none this side the grave can be blafll,

this city he was past teaching right
from wrong and because the people
of Portland did not take him into
their homes and pet him, they should
be blamed in no way for the final
tragedy which robbed James Taylor
Of his life.-Portland Standard.

We were surprised at the article in the
NeDs in its last issue wherein comments
were made upon the following item that
was in the ADVOCATE of the 10th inst:


John NJ and e. e. Carpenter returned
from Milwaukee Saturday. They report
that the railroad company have requested
Il survey to be made down Nelson Creek

We gaze the above as an item Of news

our intention or thoughts that any reflec

The late movement of these people from
some Of the Southern states is creating
considerable comment by the press, both
north and south Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Arkansas are losing large
numbers by migration 10 the north. Kan.

place and some of the cities, Wyando,Ie,
Fort Leavenworth, and others are ovcrrun

This stampede from the sugar and cot.
ton plantations and rice fields is the result
OF the outrageous treatment ithe colored
people have received at the hands of their
late masters. They have been of late in

emancipation. They have been victims of
fraud, deception, AMI in many instances,
brutal treatment. Their exercise or free.
mems right, suffrage, has existed only IN
name. South Carolina Georgia, and in
fact all Of the Southern states, have merit
ed this desertion by those who have borne
the heat and burden of the labor fields
unrewarded.


1t may be Of no particular benefit to the
North but it will prove a serious injury to
those states that have depended upon
black labor, and it WAS short GIFTED pol
ICY adopted by those fre-eaters when they
coerced these unfortunate people into a
compliance with their demands as to the
support Of political principles foreign to
their taste. The fruit of their action will
now be bitter for them to pluck and no
white laborer will venture down among
those deserted plantations that once were
familiar to the blacks. Depletion in populc-
ton and cultured fields will soon bring
that Ill governed region to realizing
sense of the great and irreparable wrongs
the fanatic leaders have perpctrated.

Beds and bedding need especial care;
on fine days leave your sleeping. room
windows open several hours, il posi-
Bile, and, if not too conspicuous, leave
your beds unmade, and let pillows and
mattresses air in the sun. Thorough
ly examine the bed-steads-- out
the Stats, which you probably will find
covered with DUST -(accumulated dust
will also be found on the Stats Of tho
spring beds). Wipe this of with hot
salt and water. Salt dissolved in a
very Title water, should be put on with
small paint brush, in all the corners
of the bcadstcads TO prevent vermin
from finding place. IT. by any
chance, they are already there, this
must be repeated as often as twice a
week, until they are exterminated.
Also, wipe the edges of the mattresses
we'll with cloth wrung out of salt and
water. You must meet this matter
promptly, and giveit your supervision,
ior, ii not attended TO at once, they
will get the better Of you and cause
yOn great annoyance.


Ifihere shall be any spots on your
mattresses,try spreading paste Of
starch, mixed with little cold water
let il remain until quite dry, then
brush of; # the spot still remains, put
a teaspoonful Of borax to pint Of cold
water, with little soap; enough to
make good suds. Scrub the spot with
it, using an old nail brush or small
scrubbing brush; afterward wiping
dry with q clean cloth.


We learned an art few years ago,
of a dear old lady, with whom we were
spending the Summer. She came into
the bright sitting-room one morning,
with pillows and ticks, and said she
was going to change the feathers from
one into the other. mot here" we
cried, starting up in alarm, aud with
visions of down and feathers flying all
over the room, over our clothes and
settling in our hair. But she said very
quietly, don't move, you won't know
II you don't look" But we did look,
and found that we did not know cv.
erything.


In each pillow-tick she had left an
opening in the side seam about five or
six inches long, and at the top lin the
middle), one about three inches long.
Taking pillow in her hand she shook
the feathers away from the side and
down into the middle Of the pillow,
keeping them therc with several pins,
while she ripped slit in the side just
as long as the one already in the new
one. These openings she now sewed
together--making q communication
between the two. Then she inserted
her hand into the space she had left In
the end seam, and we pinned Il closely
about her wrist, leaving no room for
the feathers 70 hy out. Taking the
pins out of tho pillow she drew the
feathers easily out Of ono into tho
other. When they were all out, she
carefully removed her hand and the
opening was sewed up. The seam be-
tween the two, as fast as ripped, was
pinned securely and afterward sewcd
up. The pins were taken out, the pillow
beaten into shape, and II was done.

. great usc to us let rs hope that II

T. H. d. in New England
Farmer: 1t is surprising what
"a quantity of produce can be
raised on a small farm of 80
or 40 acres,and . man in pos
session OF that amount of
land, sh ould not be in haste
to purchase more, but use the
money which would be taken
for theparchase of more land
in improving and enriching
the present acres, for scarcely
too much fertilizer can be
put into the soil, unless it is
different from any that / am
acquainted with, for the more
you invest in an acre of land,
if invested IN the proper way,
the larger returns you will re
ceive. The man who has the
same amount of capital inves-
ted in fifty acres that the ma
j"rity of farmers have in one
hundred, possesses many ad,
vantages over the latter. He
can raise rs much with less
labor, for he has bit one>half
the ground to go Overland his
land is in somuch better CON
dition that, in moving and
raking,or plowing, he can do
il far more expeditiously.-
Flom an inspection of many
farms in this country. l am
we'll satisfied that if one third
nf the farmers owned bu. one
half the land they land put
the money all into that half,
there would be less complaint
of hard times; and what is
true of this State is undoubt>
edly true of a large part of
the country.


Many farmers arc land poor;
their capital is all invested in
land,and nothing left to stock
and work it. Some seem to
think that their prosperity is
proven by the number of acres
they own, but 1 look at. the
matter from a different stand
point. l judge a farmers
success by the manner in
which he cultivates his land,
tor, If he cnltivates his land,
highly, he will have abund>
ant crops, unless cut of by
drought or some other un-
foreseen event entirely be-
yond his control, and hence
is a successful farmer, ,wheth-
er he owns twenty five acres
or fifty.

Warts: Oil of cinnamon
dropped on warts three or
four times a day will cause
their disappearance. however
hard, large or dense they may
be. The application gives no
pain nor causes separation.


Wounds: When a nail or
pin has beenrun into the foot,
instantly bind on a rind of
salt pork, and keep quiet till
the wound is well. Lockjaw
is often caus'd by such wounds
if neglected.


Burns and scaIds: Common
baking soda-tle bicarbon-
ate-llas been found to cure
burns or scaMs, affording i'm
mediate relisf when prompt
ly applied. For q dry burn,
the soda should he made into
paste with water. For a
scald or wet burned surface,
the powdered soda Cor borax
will do wellD should be dust
ed on.s


The Hair: To thicken the
hair and prevent it from tur-
ming gray,?our boiling water
on IA quantity of sage leaves,
and let them remain some
time in the oven, or near a
stove; strain and apply to the
roots of the hair daily. If
any pomade be needed, an
equal mixture of cocOanut
and olive oils, with a little
perfume, is very efficacious.


The view of infection: The
theory that very small organ
lsms, either vegetable or ami
NAL, are the cause of all in
fectious diseases, is very gem
orally accepted at the present
day. 1t passes as established
and almost mathemlatically
proven, because this theory
alone is able to explain for us
a series of pneumonia that
would otherwise be totally in
explicable. Hence the Alpha
and Omega Of all precautions
directed against infectious
diseases and epidemics con-
sists in combating and des-
troying these organisms.


Importance of a clean skin:
Most of our invalids are such,
and millions Of more healthy
people will become invalids,
for the want OF paying the
most ordinary attention to
the requirements of the skin.
The epidermis is too often re-
garded as a covering YIN
stead of a complicated piece
of machinery, scarcely second
in its texture and sensitive>
ness to the ear and eve. Ma
ny treat it with as little ref.
erence to its proper functions
as if it were nothing better
than a bag for their bones.
1t is this reconsideration for
the skin that is the cause OF
a very large proportion of the
diseases of the world. If. az
claimed by some scientists,
four fifths, in the bulk, of all
we eat and drink must either
pass off through the skin OF
be turned back upon the sys-
tenn as y poison, and that life
depends as much upon these
exhalaflons az through the
lungs, it must be Of the lnnsi
