FEAR, Druggist, Seaforth, Ontario: Dear Sir: For a long time past I have been greatly distressed with aomach trouble, suffering extreme pain with headache nearly all the time. I haa. tried every means within my reach, without relief; even physician's medicine had no effect. I was in a oqry despondent way when, happen- ing to be in Seaforth one day, some- body recommended me to try Man- drake Blood Bitters. As it had re- lieved so many, I thought it might help me. I procured a bottle, and truly the relief WaS almost magical. From the first few doses I began to improve, and, after taking a few bottles, I am like a different person altogether. Whereas life was a bur den to me, now lit is a pleasure to live. If ever I have any symptoms of my olki trouble, a few doses of your valu- able remedy fixes me all right. With • pleasure I recommend Mandrake Blood Bitters. The Betrothed. ItUDYARD KIPLING. "1 You must choose between me and your oigar." Open the old cigar -box, get me a.Cuba stout, For things aro running crossways, and Maggie and I are out. We quarreled about Havanas-we fought o'er a good cheroot - And I know she is exacting, and she says I am a brute. Open the old cigar box -jet me Consider a space, In the soft blue veil of the vapor musing on Maggieli face. Maggie is pretty to look at-Maggie's a loving lass, But the prettiest cheekiemust wrinkle, the truest of loves must pass. . There's peace in a Laranaga, there's calm in a Henry Clay ; But the best cigar in an hour is finished and thrown away - Thrown away for another as perfect and ripe and brown- e But I never could throw away Maggie for fear of the talk of the town. Maggie, my wife at fifty -gray and dour and old - With never another Maggie to purchase for love or gold. And the light of days that have been, the dark of the days that are, And love'e torch stinking and stale, like the butt of a dead cigar - The butt of a dead cigar you are bound to keep in your pocket, With never a new one to light, though it's charred and black to the socket. Open the old oigar-box-let me consider awhile; Here is a mild Manilla -there is a wifely smile. Which is the better portion, bondage bought with a ring, Or a harem of dusky beauties, fitly tied in a string? Counselors cunning and silent, comforters true and tried, And never a one of the fifty to sneer at the rival bride. Though in the early morning, solace in time of woes, Peace in the hush of the twilight, balm ere my eye. lids close. This will the fifty give me, asking naught in return, With only a Suttee's passion -to do their duty and burn. This will the fifty give lite. When they are spent and dead, Five times other fifties shall be my servants instead. The furrows of far-offaTava, the isles of the Spanish main, When they hear that my harem is empty, will send me my brides 'again. I will take no heed to their raiment, nor food for their mouths withal, So long as the gulls are nesting, so long air the showers fall. I will scent 'em with beet vanilla, with tea will I - temper their hides, And the Moor and the Mormon shall envy who read of the tale of my brides. For Maggie has written a letter to give my choice between The wee little whimpering love and the great god Nick O'Teen. • And I have been servant of love for barely a twelve month clear, But I have been priest of Partagas a, matter of seven years ; And the gioom of all my bacheior days is flecked with the cheery light Of stumps that I burned to friendship, and pleasure. and work and fight. And I turn my eyes to the future that Maggie and I must prove, But the only light on the marshes is the will-o'-the- -wisp of love. Will it see me safe through the journey or leave me bogged in the mire? Since a puff of tobacco can cloud it, !shall I follow the fitful fire? Open the old cigar -box -let me consider anew, Old friends, and who is Maggie that I should aban- don for you? A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke; And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke. ' Light me another Cuba, I hold to my first sworn vows, If Maggie will have lie rival, I'll have no Maggie for spouse ! (Signed) WM. STEWART. GODERICH Steam Boiler Works, (ESTABLISHED 1880.) Ar S.

The leading writers of this. age have divers opinions in regard to the girl of to- day. Some claim she gives herself wholly Up to society, and cares only for parties, balls, operas and theatres, while others say she is too strong-minded and entirely ne- gleets the domestic arts. Then wet hear she is not practical, and her higher ' education entirely unfits her for the realities of life. Certainly with their advantages and sur- roundings much more is expected of them. One of our brightest young women, who, if her health holds out, will win a name for herself among -the world's grand women, is practising law and making a success of it. After a few years' course at one of our fe- male seminaries that ranks equally high with many colleges where she received tbe two degrees, M. A. and L. L. B., our fair friend took a course at a law college, where in due time she was graduated with high honors and made a member of the bar. She has practised her profession four years, and from the first day has paid expenses and supported herself. Bright and witty, as a conver,sationaliet, it ready off -hand speaker, she ie often ,palled upon to speak at this ineetiieg'or that entertainment, or to respond to a toast at eome banquet, and at a recent one ehe was honored by being the first lady to respond to a toast before that society. Her reply was said to have been the hit of the evening, and the others were all promin- ent and fiuent speakers. She is thoroughly domestic and has more household cares than many married women with children. Her mother leas never been strong and she has the charge and supervis- ion of almost the entire household. When without a girl this young lawyer does much of the housework herself. She does not by any means neglect church, temperance or philanthropic work, and is interested in all the reforms of the day. A young woman who has been employed in a post -office during the democratic admin- ittration has made herself so valuable and nec- essary that she has been asked to continue her position under the republican postmaster -not from any motives of chivalry or kind- ness because she was a woman, but because she was thorough and competent, and really valuable. Her salary is $900 a year, the same as paid the assistsnt postmaster. Selt Pans, Smoke Stacks, Sheet Iror Works, etc., etc. Kill The Cold. Kill it by feeding it with Scott's Emulsion.

Her husband practises law, and like all men is not expected to divide his time between honsekeeping ' and his profession, but can concentrate hils thoughts and ideas on one thing. Men are certainly to be envied in that one respect. No matter what a WOITIGH does, or how Well, she is always expected to have a thorough knowledge of domestic matters, and if she has not she falls sever- al degrees in a man's estimation. A young woman who has earned twenty- five dollars per week as a court stenograph- er, keeps books dnring the time she is not employed at her calling, and receives a large salary. Another young woman, who has had less than a year's experience as a book-keeper, has a good position, and receives ten dollars per week. A bright, cultured, young woman, who in order to be content, must busy herself about something, is teachiug in an eastern State and earning a comfortable, independ- ent livelihood, not from neceesity, but from choice. Two cepable young women have charge. of dry goods stores and have an interest in them. A bright young woman is employed in a surveyor's office in a great metropolis and does draughting, designing, etc., as well as any man. Her employer says that she is fully competent and capable of running an office alone, and understands surveying per- fectly. She is only paid half what a man would command in a similar position. Think you the girls af to -day are indolent, thriftless and not capable of self-support, as a. fashiouable young man was heard to re- mark the other day? These are not fancy sketches, but pictures from real life. Will not the girl of to -day compare favor- ably with the boy of to -day? 'Jeems Busby's Wood Sawin'. When the people of Peakville, Vermont, are searching for something with which to •compare a sharp business transaction, they usually say, " Twas about as clues as Jeems Busby's wood sawin." Jeems Busby was an elderly man of a decided indolent tem- perament, who lived for the most part upon his friends and relatives, but now and then secured an "odd job" about whioh he bun - led himself in a spasmodic fashion until it was finished. It was in one of these spasms of industry filet he undertook to saw and split a cord of wood for siScpaire Wilet," who had the repu- tation -and doubtless deserved it -of being the alinhest' men in all Peakville. Mr. Busby had no saw and was also with- out an axe. He presented these facts to the squire, and they made an agreement to this effect ; Mr. Busby was- to hire the squire's saw and axe for the sum of 6 cents an hour. He was to receive $2.50 for work when finished and was to do it at his own convenience. At the end of a week Mr. Busby appeared before the squire and aunounced that the work was accomplished. "How many hours did ye take to do the job ?" asked the squire. " Tbutty-seven, I have kep' a count," replied Mr. Busby. "Well, at 6 cents an hour that comes to $2.22, don't it?" inquired Squire Willet. "1 reckon it does, just about that," as- sented Mr. Busby after a long and evidently painful mental struggle. "Well, then," said the squire, "as I was to pay you $2 50, it seems that I owe you 28 cents. Is that all right ?" "I presume t' may it is jest about right," said Mr. Busby as the 'balance' changed hands. "But if I'd re'lized what I was doin' an' how things was comin' out," he drawled, looking at the hard faced squire, "I might, jest as well hev took a, leetle grain more comfort an a few extry hours and the hull- thing would've come around even, with nothing out of your pocket, squire V" Then he departed to spread the story, jingling the 28 coppers as he went. - Youth's Companion.

V7 w3tIii'I'I',EZIA:sric,icretea• Another talented young lady is a deputy county clerk, and has held the position for years,regardless of the political belief of the chief or other officials. Bright and keen, she has an eye for business, and is admired by all who know her for her pluck and busi- ness ability. She supports her mother, is very benevolent, and is always lending a hand to some brother or sister in trouble. Plain and outspoken in her way, but always kind-hearted and true is she. Another young woman offered to go into the store and help, if her husband would go into burliness instead of continuing on the road as of old, and for the past two years has not only kept the books but attended to the banking, correspondence, advertising and waited on cuttomers herself, showing hardware goods as well as many men. A young woman who was not content to sit idly at home and be 'supported, accepted a position as book-keeper, which she has filled creditably for several years. Never very etrong, and disliking domestic work, she has found both happinees and content- ment in her occupation, which is congenial and pleasant. On Christmas last she was enabled to give her father a good watch, her mother a eilk dress, and other friends loving remembrances. She glories in her inde- pendence, and is far happier than she would be to sit quietly at borne. Another of our brave girls, or young wo- men, is keeping house and doing her own - work and teaching school at the same time, her school being two miles from her home. Dick's Liniment cures All Lameness and Sprains strict se - Lumber of the South. COMPETING WITH THE PRODUCTS OF ERN WOODS. A Tonawanda, New York, lumberman draws a doleful picture of the lumber future of that town. " Our sales," said he to a Buffalo interviewer, "were less in 1892 than in any year during the past twelve that I have been connected with the busi- ness. In my opinion Tonawanda has seen its best days as. a lumber distributing point." The lumberman went on to tell how peo- ple bought car lots, where formerly ship load lots were sold, and said the practice of ship- ping direct from Western mills, and from the South was cutting into the home trade. He also mentioned that the World's Fair Commissioners had made a heavy drain on the Western supply to the extent of 800,000,000 feet, which had had the effect of reducing stocks and keeping up pricesi NORTH - cathedrals of Rome, is a door of the same material, said to be 1,100 years old. Cy- press shiugles are always reckoned good for '200 years." "How about the cost?" "Well, I don't pretent to give the exact figures'but white pine has been selling at $45 to $50 a thousand feet. Againet this you have the southern yellow pine, the best of which you can buy at $20 a thousand feet. The beet varieties of poplar can be had at $35 a thousand, inferior kinds calling for less. Cypress sells at from $35 to $36 Si thousand, the best quality coming from the Gulf States, the Mississippi and its tribu- taries. It is also grown in North Carolina, South Carolina ondiVirginitabut the superior grades are located further south. "In North Carolina short -leaf pine is sold at from $8 to $27 a thousand; largely used for inside finish and for boxes. But:the best of all woods for boxes, aside from the cy- prese, is the cottonwood, which sells at from $16 to $23 a thousand. The cottonwood tree grows in the short space of four or five years suitable for lumber, and is, in my opinion, the coming wood. Gum wood, the best of which is found below the 35th parallel,when properly kiln dried,makes the most chaste of hardwood trimmings, and for artistic work is coming into demand. The product of the South also includes oak, beech, sycamore, ash, and cherry in considerable variety." Do You See the Point. Husbands ought always to wear a smiling and happy countenance. Should the care or progress in the raw material to make a home weigh you down, never mind, always go home with a smile. Husbande,have often lost the affection of their wiveseley looking careworn. Be careful about your personal appear- ance ; much depends upon that. Be sure that your hair is smoothly arranged and your collar spotless before presenting your - half at the breakfast table. It is by atten- tion to such little things that you may be able to retain the affection of your wife. Don't complain if you are sick. A com- plaining husband often drives a woman to seek more congenial society. If you have the toothache -smile. if you are embarrassed for want of funds tie meet the necessary expenses of the household, always bear it with a cheerful and happy expreesion-always smile; your wife may be driven to spending her even- ings elsewhere than at home if you com- plain. Keep up with the times. Your wife, having the care of the education of ithe children, naturally reads more than you. Don't let her. After you have worked twelve or fourteen hours a day, devote the remainder to keeping your mind in good trim, so that your wife may not find a more congenial spirit elsewhere. Should your wife smoke or use tobacco in any form, it isn't best to object. Smiles will do more than frowns. Encourage her to smoke or chew, as the case may be at home, or she may be driven to stay away from home. Personal liberty is always sacred. By always paying strict attention to the above rules, and smiling continually, you will probably be able to retain the affec- tions of your wife for a considerable time.

The South, in his opinion, is going to but a large figure in the lumber business, He says ci; "The supplies of poplar, cypress, cottonwood, long leaf and short leaf yellow pine fro -n the Southern States is yearly' on the increase. The variety and cheapness of Southern lumber is making an impeession on the market, and although there is some- thing of a prejudice against it here, it is, nevertheless, making headway. The public schools and other public buildings in Buffalo are now being floored with Southern pine - rift sawed it is called in the specifications: North psroline, short leaf pine is also being used extensively for inside finish, while the long leaf maintains a pre-eminence, it being one of the strongest woods that is grown, containing more eosin than any other. Pop- lar, the best varieties of which come from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missiesippi,Alabama, and some from West Virginia, has also cut into the hardwood trade the past few years. .This wood is found to take the stain better almost than any other. It Loused for rose- wood and mahogany quite extensively, and when properly stained only an expert can detect, the difference. Rosewood coffins are largely made in this way. It is also made to simulate walnut, oak, quartered oak, cherry, and mahogany, and being cheaper than white pine finds a ready sale." Asked the question: "Have these South- ern woods the looting qualities of the north- ern varieties," the reply was : " Cypress will laat longer thad any other known vari- ety. The statue Of Jupiter, one of the wonders of Italy for the past six hundred years, is made of cypress, and in one of the Taken Down. Very old people are seldom sentimental. What they have seen of life ordinarily makes them practical, and not inclined to go into ecstacies ovee every day events. A young man of my acquaintance, writes a correspondent, had this fact impressed upon him in a somewhat mortifying way. He had been the suitor of a charming young lady, and to his keen delight she had finally con - 'feinted to become his wife. His exaltation of mind knew no bounde. He talked con- stantly of what he called his good fortune in a manner far from sensible. Paying a visit to his aged grandmother, who was a blunt, sensible old lady, while this mood was on him, he took her hand in a sensational way, and after guehing over his good fortune for a few moments until the old lady looked quite bored, he closed his confession by saying: "You can't know, grandmother, half of my sweet little girl's worth. She is so gen- tle and tender and beautiful, and will make our little home the most delightful spot on earth, a perfect little haven of happiness and content." To this grandma replied, with a twinkle in her eyes: " Well, I hope, George, she'll keep her kettles and dishes °leen. If there's any- thing in this world I can't abide, it's a dirty kitohen with untidy things around. Don't you expect me to go into any sentiment over her until I have seen how her kitchen looks." " Her kitchen !" That had found no place thus far in George's poetic dreams and pictures, yet a cheerful kitchen is not an un - poetic tieing in domeetie life.

After - the ground has been properly ley- elled, and enriched, in preparing it for being sown with various grasses, much care should be exercised in the choice of these. We do not want grasses growing in it which are much inclined to grow in tufts ; hence there is little or no place for orchard grass and several of the feecues in a nice lawn. We do not want coarse plantf., the strong growth of which is constantly extending up above the other plants ; hence there is little or no place for the various kinds of large clover, or for lucerne, or aell oat grass. We do not want grasses or clovers which are ehort-lived ; hence we do not want common red clover, or any of the rye groans, which latter in this country do not stand our long winters. We want fine hardy grasses, and clover of low habit of growth, and such as will tend to keep out weeds of various kinds by the thick sward which they make. This practically in the meantime shuts us up to three or four varieties until others of like character are introduced. These include Kentucky blue grass, white. Dutch clover, and yellow clover or trefoil.
