I'vrtiapS no living English orator has an
equal reputation as a lecturer with that of
Rec. NV. Moroley Pninaon, who is to
deliver two lectures in these cities dring
the month of October. ills celebrity 'in
England is so great that the most capacious
halls ln . .ive been unable to hold the multi
tu.les that flock to hear him. A like rush
to hear him promises to attend his visit
through this country. The editor of Zion's
Herald, Boston, thus LVICASIIiTS him with
ether distinguished orators, living and
dead.
His reputation will win him groat crowds
and prai-e. Un ike Newman Hall in di
rectness, simplicity and a sort of childish
ho is as great a man, if not a
greater soul. More hidden in himself,
more seemingly cold and exelesive, he
e,onies l'ort h from tho doptd). f Li is own he.
in:rwith far greater mAjesty and glory. It
is like Ut sun in its strength. 1:1 , com,
Chapin and Storrs are his American o e,n
tt,rp.trts. lie has more of unction than
either of them, and a harder finish, but
with less magination, and perhaps; of pen
t" r dive analysis, His set oration's are his
wonderful works, and all the world of
America will run after him as they have
after Dickens and Hall. Two distinct, sep
arate American worlds followed these two
distinct and separate Englishmen. Punshon
will unite both of their auditories in will
ing and abundant admiration of his dis
tinguished genius.
Rev. T. M. Green, a Baptist minister,
while visiting recently in Canada, hap
pened to be a fellow pas-eager with Pun-'
shon in ono Lf his journeys.• He thus
writes of him:
Among English preachers he ranks high
—perhaps highest in some departments of
public speaking. His greatest power, how
ever, seems to be wielded from the platform
rather than from the pulpit. Without the
simplicity of Newman Hall, yet the roll of
. 1 )
his resonant periods, deliverol 1 'th a ready
and strong utterance, is entrat cing to his
eager listeners. Without the ower to
make men feel themselves sinners, and
he!plem, which belongs to Spurgeon, yet he
4-xcels him in the brilliancy of his thoughts
and the charms of his oratory.

Every man and woman who has money
are anxious to invest to the best advantage,
—to put it out where it may yield the largest
return, and why should they not? Frank
.
, lin, the philosopher, gave utter:ince to the
golden truth that "one penny saved is as
good as two penni. , s earned.'' Money is
valuable only to the extent that it-will bring
profit as an investment or secure its pos
sessors the necessaries, comforts and luxu
ries of life.. Now, what can be imagined
las more comfortable and luxurious than a
fine set of furs on a cold, bitter day? No
article of dress is richer and none so pro
ductive of health and protection from the
inclemency of the weather of the wearer.
The wardrobe of tne fashionable lady is
never complete unless the furs, so indis
pensably. necessary for winter Wear, are
contained the, ein. Speaking of the rich
ness, comfort and gentility of furs reminds
us that at no other establishment in the
city of Pittsburgh will be found so large
and 4lne a stock of ladies and misses
furs as at the popular first class
and representative house of William Flena
ing, No. 139 Wood street. The assortment
is exceedingly' fine, embracing all the furs
known to the trade, from the very costly
specimens to the more humble and cheaper
qualities. This house is determined on
sustaining its great reputation as leading
all others in the fur trade of this section of
country, and while it carries the most enor
mous stock and finest selection, sells et
prices which enable purchasers to save
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. on all
purchases. The inducements are so great,
both in character of stock and prices, that
all wishing anything in the line will.cer
tainly consult their own interests by favor
ing the house with a visit of examination.
Let the reader remember these thing, and
that tne earlier purchases aro made the bet
ter, for good selection and low prices are
obtained, just in proportion as the season
advances.

Advice That Should Be Heeded.
We desiire to call the attention of the af
flicted to the merits of Roback's Blood
a purely vegetable cathartic, free
from mercury and all mineral poisons, and
undoubtedly the best remedy extant for the
radical cure of nervous and sick' headache,
bilious disorders and all affections of the
Liver and Blood. They are, as their name
indicaths, a Blood Pill; they search the blood
for disease and strike at the very root, there
by effecting not temporary hut permanent
cures. As a purgative, they are all that
can be desired, being mild and safe in their
operation and tn:eue-lionahly one of our
most satisfactory Cathartic Pills, and should
be kept in every household, and, when ta
ken in conjunction with Roback's Blood
Purifier, are unoqualled for curing Serofula,
Skin Disease. Old Sores, Salt Rheum, Dys
pepsia, Erysipelas, Tumors, Eruptions, and
all diseases arising from a disordered state
of the blood or a disorganized state of the
sy,stem. Try these me Reines tad you will
never regn t it. Ask those who have u-ed
'Sean, and they will tell you they are the
best of medicines. 'Sold by a:1 druggists
