One Thousand. Acre* of Land and
u ßight S»nart of KearN.”
On the deck of a big Mississippi steamboat stood an
aged Southern planter. Indicating by the sweep of
his arm the waters the boat was passing over, he said
to a passenger from the North: “When I was twelve
years old I killed my first bear on a new plantation my j
father was then cutting out of a forest that grew di
rectly over the waters of this bend. That was a mighty
good plantation, and there was right smart of bears
there, too. But that one thousand acres of land went j
into the Mississippi years ago.”
It is putting no strain upon the figure to say that |
great forests of youthful hope, womanly beauty and ;
manly strength are swept in the same way every y« ar j
into the great, turbid torrent of disease and death. Yet
it should not be so. That it is so is a disgrace as well
as a loss. People are largely too careless or too stupid
to defend their interests—the most precious of which |
is health. That gone, all is gone. Disease is simple,
but to recklessness or ignorance the simplest tilings j
might as well be complex as a proposition in Conic
Sections. & s the huge rivers which so often flood the ‘
citivs along their shores, arise in a few mountain j
springs, so all our ailments can be traced to impure j
blood and a small group of disordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for disease
is Parker’s Tonic-. It go<*« to the sources of j
pain and weakness. In response to its action, the liv- j
er, kidneys, stomach and heart begin their work afresh, j
and disease is driven out. The Tonic is not, however, ;
an intoxicant, but cures a desire for strong drink.
Have you dispepsia, rheumatism, or troubles which
have refused to yield to other agents? Here is your
help.

Home is not merely four square walls,
Though with pictures hung and gilded;
Home is where uffectioD calls,
Fixed with shrines the heart has builded.
Home 1 Go watch the faithful dove,
Sailing neath the heaven above us ;
Home is where there’s one to lo r e,
Home is where "there’s one to love us.
is not merely roof and room,
It needs something to endear it;
Home is where the heart can bloom,
Where there’s something kind to cheer it.

What is home with none to meet,
None to welcome, none to greet us ;
Home is sweet—and only sweet—
When there’s one we love to meet us.
MR. ASHTON’S HAIR.
BY DAISY SEATON,
Ellinor and I were sisters. Wa man
aged, by working fourteen hours a day, to
keep a roof over our heads—an attio roof
—to buy food, and, generally, fuel; but
oo this winter evening EHinor sat thought
fully stitching away, while I sat, covered
up with an old shawl, watching her quick
fingers, and nursing my own sprained arm,
that had kept uie idle for uiore than a
month, aud threatened to keep me so an'
other month.
“It seems te me,” said Kllioor, thread
ing her needle, “that poverty isn’t so bad
in summer as it is in winter.”
“Aud isn’t so bad at any time as it is
in the winter,” said I, fretfully.
Ellinor stopped a moment to give me a
kiss.
“Poor Agatha!” she said, and resumed
her endless stitch, stitch,stitch.
“Don’t you remember,” I said, “reading,
a long time ago, ‘Les Miserables?’ Coselte,
you remembe r , had to sell her teeth and
her hair for food for her child.”
“Her teeth !” exclaimed Ellinor, with a
horrified look, and an involuntary motion
toward her own mouthful of pearls.
“Yes,” I continued, relentlessly, “and
her hair.”
I saw Ellinor stealthily, as it were, reach
out her hands toward tho two looi»,\bloode
braids that touched the floor from where
she sat.
“Oh, Ellinor, what have I done?—what
thought have I put into your mind? Your
beautiful, beautiftgjjaij!”
I begun to weakness of re'
morse. Ellinor as well as she
could. jr \:T
“Why, Agatha, haven’t said that I
was going to sell jbjr’hair ; but eveo if I
did—thiok how early I have to ri-e to
comb it out!—don’t you remember what
headaches it gives me in the hot summer
days?”
“Don’t sell it!—don’t sell it!” was all I
could cry, us she began to fold up her com
pletcd work.
She put on her hat presently and weDt
out. Iu some way everything 6he put on
had a certain style about it. Her black
straw hat looked jaunty ; her well worn
black cashmere fitted her beautifully. She
always looked like a lady.
Before going out she had wrapped the
long braids around her head, as she always
did when she went in the street.
I sat patient’y in the darkness after she
left. This was the poorest barest season
wc had ever known. Ellinor’e checks had
been getting wan and pale, in the effort to
make one pair of hands do the work of
two.
I could not think of her youth and
beauty without a pang of compassion for
all bhe had to euduro.
An hour —two hours passed before I
beard her reluroiog step iu the darkness.
Then she entered the room, where the
moonlight took the place of the cheery
glow of lamp and fire
“Why, Agatha ! You ought to have
lighted the lamp.”
I knew- by her step, by the tone of her
voice in uttering these commonplace words,
that something fortunate had happened
I waited until she struck a light and I 1
could see her well. Then she came up to :
me aud dropped ten golden eagles in my
| hand.
I gasped for breath ; we had never had
so much money before in our lives.
“All that for my hair,” said Ellinor.
“But you still have your hair!” said I, 1
aghast from wonder, and looking at her
lovely braids, wound around her head.
“Hut it’s not mine, though it remains on •
Imy head. It has been bought and paid
for.”
“Tell me —tell me-!” I cried.
“I went down town, determined to sell
my hair—now, don’t cry, Agatha—and I
walked ioto Madame Armand’s hairdresa
ing establishment. I acknowledge that I
felt a kind of agony that only a woman
can understand at parting with my hair ;
but I determined to do it. I had to wait
some time before BDy ono could attend to
me. There were a great irauy customers,
and one young uidd, standing up, awaiting
for some lady who was having her hair
dressed. Presently I caught Madame Ar
mand’s eye. I went up and said to her :
“ ‘Madame, I wish to sell my hair !’
“She took off ray hat, and making mo
sit down in a chair, in two minutes she had i
shaken it out. i
“ ‘Mo fui!' she said. ‘Such hair I never
saw!’ i
“Tho young roan sauntered up and be- <
gan to admire it too. I felt myseU blush- I
ing all over. 1 felt for the first time I
ashamed that we were poor. | ,
“‘How much will you give me for it, I
tnadame?’ I asked.
“Let me see—fifty dollars !’
“Dear Agatha, remember how much
money fifty dollars is to us ! The young
man then said, coolly :
“ ‘l’ll give you a hundred 1’
“Madame Arrnaod turned to him with
a laugh.
“ ‘Why, Mr. Ashton, I did not koow
that you were in the buinessl’
<
“ ‘So lam not,’ he smiled; ‘but this
young lady’s hair is so remarkable that I
was tempted to buy it.’
“A curious look came into tnadarae’s
face. She produced a cruel looking pair
of shears.
“ ‘Shall I cut it off for you?’ said she.
“‘No, I thank you, madume,’ he re-'
[died, politely, counting out ten golden ea
gles ou the coun’er, ‘I prefer the young la
dy should wear it for a time. What is
your name?’
“ ‘Elliuor French,’ I replied, trem
bling all aver. ‘‘Something in madume’s
countenance had alarmed me.
“ ‘And your address s ”
“I gave it to him; then he went out.
Madame came upon me.
“ ‘Child,’ said she, ‘do you know what
you have done?'
“All niy courage and my senses seem
to return to me at that.
“ ‘Sold my hair for a hundred dollars,’
said I, gathering up the money.
“ ‘Aod do you suppose he wanted
your hair?’ she asked.
“ ‘I don’t care!' I 3aid. ‘He has bought
it and paid for it; and my hair is all he
has bought; he has not bought me! Now
any time he comes after me, I shall cooN
ly tell him the bair is bis, and he may
out oft every strand of it, if he wants to.’
“Madame laughed.
“ ‘I believe you are a good girl,’ said
she, ‘and able to take cure of yourself.
“So l came home with a hundred dol
Jars”
She was so bold and so fearless that I
could not feel alarmed for her.
“When he comes,” she said, busying
herself about tho room, “I shall say; ‘Mr.
Ashton, my hair is yours. You may cut
it off this moment; but if you dare to
oross the threshold of this door, I will
call the police, raise the fire-alarm—do
anything!”’
Oh, the comfort of the hundred dol
lars! We bought coal enough for the
whole winter, and food enough to bring
the color back iu Ellioor’s pale cheeks; and
in a week or two I could work, and then
every day seemed to brio•» us good fortune.
We got better wages, and bad more
comforts around us.
“I declare,” Ellinor would say, as sbe
combed out ‘Mr. Ashton's huir,’ as she
called it, into golden waves that almost
| hid her spdendid figure—“l declare, it has j
been our luck-money!”
All that year was happy and prosper
ous. When winter was coming again,
| I proposed to Ellinor thut we should
leave our attio rooms for better quarters, 1
I ' I
but she demurred. I did not ask her the
! reason of ht-r objection, I thought I knew. :
i ...
Ooe night we were sitting in our onco
forlorn room, ni w cony and homelike; LI ‘
' lioor had dressed her beautiful hair with t
: more than ordinary care. Suddenly there :
NO. 32.
eftcdg a tap at the door.
“It is he,” said Ellmor, quite calmly, as
if she had beeo forwaroed of his approach.
She opened the door, and Mr. Ashton
walked in.
“You have come for your hair?” said
Ellinor, quite seriously.
“I have come more to soe how if was
getting on,” he replied, quite as gravely
Ellinor burst out laugbiog, and held her
two great braids up in her hands.
“Look,” she said; “it is three inches
longer than weo you bought it/”
Mr. AshtoD turned to me.
“This is Miss Agatha,” said he.
“How on earth did you know my sister’s
name?” demanded Ellinor in amazement.
"I know all about you,” said Mr. Ash'
ton. “I have kept an eye on—my hair—
ever since last year.”
Before we knew it, we wero laughing
and talking aB if wc had long known caoh
other.
Presently Mr. Ashton rose to go.
“I don’t think I’ll tako it to night,”
said ho, with a smile. “But if you will
allow mo to call again—”
When he had gone, I said to Ellinor:
“How hatdsome he is!”
“How generous he is!” replied Ellinor,
warmly.
About a month after that, I came in one
evening, and saw Mr. Ashton and Ellinor
standing in the firelight, her head resting
on his breast.
“Come in, Agatha,” said she, raising
her head. “Mr. Ashton has concluded
that my hair, on the wholo, is more valua
ble on my head than off it, so he will have
to take the head with it ”
“And the heart and hand,” said Mr.
Ashton.
“Yes, the wholo of me—Ellinor French,
whole aud entire!”

What a Woman Can I)o.
She can say “No” and stick to it for all
time.
She con say “No” in such a low, soft
voice that it means “Y’es.”
She can sharpen a lead pencil if ycu
ean give her plenty of time aud plenty of
pencils.
She can dance nil night in a pair of
shoes two sizes too small for her and en
joy every minute of the time.
She can pass a display window of a
dry goods storo without stopping—if she
is running to catch a train.
She can walk half the night with a col
icky baby in her arms without once ex
pressing a desire to murder the infant.
She can appreciate a kiss from her hus
band seventy five years after the marriage
ceremony takes place.
She can suffer abuse and neglect for
years, which one touch of kindness and
consideration will driye from hor recollec
tions.
Lhe can go the theater every evening
and the matinee on Wednesday and Satur
day, and still possess sufficient strength to
attend a Saturday oight sacred concert.
Sho can go to church and afterwards
tel! you what every woman io the congre
gation had on, and in some raro instances
can give a faint idea of what the text was.
She can look her husband square in the
eye wheu he tells her some cock and bull
story about being “detained at the office,”
without betraying in the least that sho
knows him to be a collossa! lair.
Sho can—but what’s the use ! A wo
man can do anything or everything and do
it well. She can do more in one minute
tbaD a man can do in an hour aod do it
better. Site can make the alleged lords
of creation bow down to her own sweet
will, aod they will never know it. Yes, a
woman can do everything with but one
exception ; she caonot climb a tree.
The grave robbers captured in Phila
delphia aro not as bad as those mothers
who are lifo robbers, by neglecting the
! cough of a child, when they know full
well that, one bottle of Hr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup would cure it and make it happy.
“Now, you just make tracts,” says the
homo missionary to the printer.
