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.

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. Mr. A. 11. Moore, Mill Hay, Ga.,says: “I have used Browu’s Iron Bitters for dyspepsia and am happy to say with best results.”
