Woman the Greatest Sufferer

Woman is also the greatest at 'fferer from the evils of intempei ’ance. Language is powerless to describe, nay, the imagination can h ardly conceive, the agony of a sensitive, high-spirited, loving woman at seeing one whom sk e ims loved and revered dragged down- to ruin and shame from the height upon which her pride gloried to behold him. Nowand then a wail is heard, or a moan that can no longer be repressed r but that which comes to our k now ledge and is made visible to our eyes is but the faintest sh adow of the universal misery that exists in society. There is not a social circle that is untainted Ivy the presence of the drink curse, hardly a household within whose privacy it has not thrust its destroying hand It lies heavy upon the home and all its most sacred interests; but the hidden depths of the misery it has wrought will never be re vealed. So long as concealment is possible to a woman, she hides the ravages it makes in her heart and home, stilling the cry of bitter dispair, and writhing with brave front under an agony that none but God and her own pool will ever know. —From * * Woman's Relation to Teuipera uce;” Demorest’s Magazine for S eptern her.

“There is a Salve for every wound.” We refer to De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, cures burns, bruises, cuts, indolent sores, as a local application hr the nostrils it cures catarrh, and always cures piles. A. F. Long & Co. A city editor expresses bis desire after this fashion: “1 would flee from the city’s rule and law—flora its fashions and forms cut loose, and go where the strawberry grows on its straw and the gooseberry grows, on its goose; where the catnip tree is climbed by the cats as she clutches ‘for her prey-the guileless unsuspecting rat on the rattan bush at play; I will catch with ease the gallon cow and the cowlet in their glee, as they leap with joy from bough to bough upon a cowslip tree; and list while the partridge drums his drum and the wood chuck chucks his w r ood, and the dog devours the dogwood plum [in the primitive solitude.”
