PiiTsuuna Femalz College.
The institution whose name heads this
item is so widely and favorably known
that it is almost superfluous to call at
tention to it. As many are preparing,
however, to send their daughters to
school during the wiutcr, and as the se
lections of a suitable school is one of
the most difficult and important ques
tions challenging tho attention of pa
f nts, wo take this oppertunity to direct
their attention to the Pittsburg Female
College. It has almott everything to
recommend it. While it haa the many
advantages offered by cities only, its ad
mirable location gives it the quiet and
retirement of a country village. Tbe
buildings are models of good taste, tod
'ire fitted op in good ulrle, to-J with
KiMHH
special reierence to the comfort of the
pupils. Better eTen than its excellent
accommodations, are the ample arrange
ments for the education of the pupils.
No one departcment is sacrificed to an
other. The large number of teachers
employed twenty-three enables the
trustees not only to have full depart
ments in tho literary course, but special
departments for all the ornimcntal
branches. As an illustration we may
state tho fact that there arc four teach
ers who devote their entire time to mu
sio Added to all this the charges are
not intended to dazzle dunces, and
make them believe that the school is
good because they pay tctrible rates,but
such as command themselves to right
thinking men. All who have daugh
ters to educate are most earnestly urged
to call aud make themselves acquainted
with the facilities and advantages af
forded. The winter term will open
December 12th. Send to ReT. I. C.

Just how, says the Jeltgraph, when
a few disappointed, malignant and dis
orgenieing spirits are trying their best
to injure Simon Caincrsu in the estima
tion of the people, and lesson the polit
ical influence which he so worthily ex
ercises in the Republican party, it is
b it justice to that distinguished gentle
man to give occasionally an antidote to
the poison of his enemies. There is no
lack of Republican papers willing to
taio up the gauntlet in his defcuce, if
defense Vere necessary. But so far
his enemies have overshot the mark,and
their attacks, false, cotrse and virulent,
have recoiled upon themselves. We
commend to their attention, for the
present, a brief article which we find in
the Williumspoit Gazette and Buliotin.
That paper says with great truth and
justice, ''It has often been a subject of
remark why it is that General Simon
Cameron has so many carm friends
throughout the state. We doubt i'
there is a man ia Pennsylvania to-day
who has one half the friends be bas.
f he secret of his great strength in that
rctpect lies simply in the fact that be
ucver forgets an act of friendship, and
always seeks an opportunity to teward
who does him a favor. He has aided
hundreds of young men to success in
lite by kiad advice, if sot by ready
means. He makes it a point to so cod- '
duct himself that friends never desert
tiiui.tiud he is constantly Eiakiagmore as
years crowd upon him. It wes the re
verse with Buchanon. He was always
neglecting friends to capture eneaiics.
The result was that he died with fewer
friends, after a 'ong career, than any
man in the State. Simon Cameron will
tavo more. Politicians posessed of any
.sagacity at all cannot find a more illus
trious example to oopy after, if they
would become strong, than tbst set by
the venerabl e"Senator."
Strange Incident. On Wednes
day night Mr Joseph M. Force.a student
at the high school, went to the south
ern part of the city to visit some friends.
He returned to bis home at about half
past one o'clock, with his forehead cut,
three bruises on the back of his head
and wrist and right knee badly bruised.
The strangest part of the affair was that
although he had come borne alone, be
had uo idea how he had been hurt nor
even any rccollectioa of where he had
been, but talked in an irratioual sort of
way about a ratliosd accident. Ilia clo.
thing did not indicate that be bad fal
len. On inquiry yesterday, it was iouud
that be bad loft tbe tesidenoe of bis
friends at a little after ten o'clock at
eight. It looks as though some one bad
attackod him with a slucg shot, the only
circuuistance that renders such a theory
improbable being that be bad money in
his vest pocket whon he returned.

ber. We have heard euthusiastio
readers declaro that this holiday num
ber was the best that has ever been is
sued, and when we look at the varied
and superb embellishments and the cap
tivating stories, we are inclined to think
it so. The steel-plate, "Olive plants,"
is a pretty domestic scene; the beauti
ful lrontispiece, "Sorrow Under the
Sun," is romance in itself such a world
of expression is in the face of the girl
I jantng from the window-sill ; the col
ored "pattern for a Slipper" furnishes
p ust the design for a holiday present j
and the oolored Fashion Plate, as usual,
unsurpassed. Nothing of the kind
can compare with this in a!l a fashion
plate should be. Wo like the wood
cut "An Idyl on the Ico," and pat

uncommonly elegant. The musio is

TO RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE
If yon are suffering or have suf
fered, from involuntary discharges, what
effect does it produce upon your
general health f Do you feel weak, de
bilitated, easily tired ? Does a littitt
extra exertion produce palpation of tl
heart? Does your liver, or urinary
organs, or your kidneys, frequently
get out of order? Is your urine some-
trnes thick, milky or nocky, or is it
ropy on sottltngf Or does n thi:
skum rise to the top ? Or is a sediment
at the bottom after it bas stood awbtu r
Do you have spells of short breathing
or dyspepsia? Are your bowels con
stipated ? Do you have spells of fainting,
or rushes of blood to the head? It
your memory impaired ? Is your mitt'l
constantly dwelling on the subjec? I o
you feel dull, listless, moping, tirfil rl'
company, of life ? Do you wish to h .
alone, to get away from every bud?
Docs any little thing make you etui d
or jump ? Is your sleep broken r
restless? Is the lustre of your ew i
brilliant? The bloom of your cheik ni
bright? Do yen y yourself in so ¬
ciety as well? you pursue Non
business with the samo energy ? Do vol
feel as much confidence in youie:i '
Are your spirits dull and flag-jit-,;,
given to fits of melencholy ? If m,
not lay it to your liver or distjfpMn
Have you restless nights ? Tour W li
weak, and have but little appetite. i i
you attribute this to dyspepsia 't-livcr-complaint
?
Now, reader, self-abuse, ventral
diseaso badly cured, and sexual exc s
are all capable of producing a weaki i-?
of tbe generative organs. The ornai.j
of the generation, when in perfect beu'i
make the man. Did you ever tint"
that thobo bold, defiant, energetic,
persevering business-men are alwa;
those whose generative organsare in
perfect health ? You never benr
such men complain of being melen
choly, of nervousness, of palpatation ot
the heart. They aro never afraid they
cannot succeed in business; they don't
become sad and discouraged ; they aro
always polite and pleasant in company
of ladies, and look you and rhem right
in the face none of your downcast
looks or any other meanness about
them. I do not mean those who keep
the orgrns inflated by running to excess.
These will not only ruin their consti
tutions, but also thoso they do business
with or for.
How maney men, from badly oured dis
eases, from the ell'ecu of self-abuse and
excesses, have brought about that Btate of
weakness in those organs that ha reduceda
the general system so much as to induce
almost every other dise.iMO idiocy, par.
alysis, spinal afl'cctionu, suicide, and almost,
every other form of diseaso which hu
manity is heir to and the real cause of
the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and
have doctored for all but the right one.
