me also with an enthusiasm for its exercise. 
I love to sing, and cannot help it; it is my

run over” him. Now let us hear from and 
about hired r/nis. I have always had a theory 
as to the proper way to treat help, but in my 
solitary experience it did not work as I hail 
promised myself it should. T believed they 
should have some time to themselves, and 
gave nn hour a day, which often stretched into 
two or more, beside evenings and occasional 
recreations. 
They should be treated as ono of the family, 
with a caution as to what is said in their 
presence. They should ne dealt with plainly, 
kindly and truthfully, in full remembrance 
of the Golden Rule. However, our girl with 
whom l faithfully tried this pluu, sometimes 
failiug, as human nature will, but in the main 
following it, grew less and less disposed to 
work, less accommodating, and less agreeable, 
and after several warnings L had to let, her go. 
I am bound to believe .that management of 
just the right kind for her would have suc- 
ceeded better; but what should it have been? 
I mistrust that “Charity Sweetheart” is a 
fictitious character; but, think she fairly re¬ 
presents the majority of farmers’ girl, who, 1 
hope, will work out the problem of life to a 
happy, because loving, result. I think “Chari¬ 
ty” very liable to find her heroin the hay-field 
yet. and wo may all remember that when 
mentally uncomfortable there is something 
wrong with ourselves, whoever else may be in 
fault We are “out of harmony,” and the 
tlrst-best-tbing to do. is to gef, back. What, has 
become of Marguerite and her jewels? Her 
talks always suited me exactly.

DYSPEPSIA 
Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous 
excitement, excess or imprudence in eat¬ 
ing or drinking, and various other causes, 
induce Constipation followed by general 
derangement of the liver, kidneys, ami 
stomach, iu which ilie disorder of each 
organ increases thuinfirmity of the others. 
The immediate, results are Loss of Appe¬ 
tite, Nausea, Foul Breath. Heartburn, Flat¬ 
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure 
Of physical and menial vigor, distressing 
sense of welghtatul fiillnejssln the stomach, 
ami increased Costiveness, all of which are 
known under one head as Dyspepsia. 
In every instance where t lii< disease does 
not originate from scrofulous taint in the 
blood, Aykb’s l'n. i.s may he confidently 
relied upon to effect a cure. Those eases 
not amenable to the curative Inlluenee of 
Aykr’s Fills alone will certainly vield if 
the |*i til. s are aided by t he powerful blood- 
purifying properties of AVer's SARSAPA¬ 
RILLA. 
Dyspeptics should know that the longer 
treatment of their malady is postponed, 
the more difficult Of cure ii. becomes.

she would rather earn than beg. It is a false 
economy for those whose income allows them 
far more than actual needs, to withhold the 
work from seamstress, from dress-maker, 
from any help they might employ. If your 
heart is charitably inclined, give employment 
iu every way you cau, and then pay the worth 
of it promptly. 
Oh! Christian friend, did you “do good, 
especially to the household of faith,” when 
you gave 3 our brother that job of work at 
starvation prices, because he must have it? 
Did you “provide things honest in the sight 
of all men” when you placed the temptation 
in his way to slight the work by giving you 
only the money’s worth? 
Again, you can reach and aid many by pa¬ 
tronizing, as far as possible, home stores. Do 
something beside “wishing them well, hope 
they will succeed , 1 help to make them doso. I, 
for One, am sorry to see the increase of the 
all-sorts stores, where everything is sold under 
one roof. It is convenient to the purchaser, 
1 II allow; but it is almost death to the success 
of the smaller shops. Take, for example, a 
shoe-store. An enterprising young man starts 
out, to make a living, and. to a fresh, clean 
stock of boots and shoes, adds a living profit, 
intending to do a fair, honest business. He 
gives strict, personal attention to business, yet 
money comes in slowly. Why is it?—people 
must have boots and shoes, aud they buy 
somewhere, but the majority flock to the big 
stores, to purchase at lower prices. The 
lurger-business merchant offers them at cost, 
and the multitude, supposing every depart¬ 
ment is selling equally low,-hastens to secure 
Mr, SHODKiort has just learned that he has 
been appointed as one of tho committee to 
attend to the Sunday School festival, and 
makes things pleasant for tho children. We 
hope the dear little folks may have a real 
nice time. 
Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro¬ 
mote their healthful and regular action, 
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary 
palliatives all do permanent harm. The 
fitful activity into which the enfeebled 
stomach is spurred by '‘bitters,” and alco¬ 
holic stimulants, is Inevitably followed 
by reaction that leaves I ho organ weaker 
than before.

in the same manner, first slicing it thin; it was 
delicious in stews and soups, in Winter. Tho 
vegetables 1 raised myself. 
Some parsons complain of dried fruit, etc., 
becomiug wormy. If they will put with them, 
when first dried, a few chips of sassafras root, 
this trouble will he prevented. 
My potato cakes are good, and I have often 
been asked for my way of makEug them. I 
take cold, mashed potatoes left from dinner, 
thin them with milk, add a little salt, two 
tablespoon fills of flour, a bit of soda as big as a 
small pea, and two or throe eggs, Have them 
just so they will drop from the spoon easily. 
Drop by spoonfuls on a hot, well greased grid¬

KEEP THE JEWEL BRIGHT, 
• Down life's si ream together, my dear, 
We’re sailing, thou aud I; 
Side by side anil hand In band, 
To the unknown by and by.” 
How many hopeful young hearts, in the 
beautiful season just past, have gone out from 
the homes of their chi 1,1 hood, to make new 
homes of their own; homes whose influences 
for good or evil shall reach to eternity! Ob, 
dear young husband and wife, preserve anti 
cultivate the pure and holy love God has im¬ 
planted iu your beings. Once Jost, it can 
never be recovered. Guard the tender blos¬ 
som as a priceless treasure; nourish it with 
loving words; w ater it with the gentle dew of 
sympathy. Avoid the first difference, which 
is ant to be followed by ugly looks and stinging 
words; aud whileyou may forgive each other, 
aud think you have forgotten, too, they leave 
a scar, which has somewhat defaced the pure 
surface, aud it is much easier to have the sec¬ 
ond disagreement. Then bear with each 
other’s faults; be thoughtful and considerate, 
lighten the cares of daily life by loving acts 
and kind words. 
“So when n«e has crept upon us, 
We may then, with fondness, say, 
‘Dear, I love you;’ aud say It truly. 
Just as we may say to-day.” 
MRP. J. K. RICHARDS. 
It is bard to personate aud act a part long, 
for where truth is not at the bottom, nature
