This Distressing Alfection which renders Life
miserable nnd marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims." of Improper Indulgences.
Young persons arc too upt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful eonseip'iiecs
that tuny ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent I Besides
being deprived the pleasures of lu aithy oll'spi dug,

Persons ruined in health by unlearned preten

I) It. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
Mitt of whose He has been spent In tlich.iMiituls
of London, Pris, Philadelphia nnd elsewhere, f
lias etleeted some ot the most astonisluug cures
that were ever known j many troubled rtith ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being ulanucd nt sn Men sontnls,
basliluliiess, with" ftvjneut blushing, attended
sometime with derangement of mind, were cured
immedlatclv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have iujurrd
themselves by improper indulgence nnd solitary
habits, which ruin buih body uud mind, untitling
them for cither business, study, society or mar
riage. '1 iinsu nre some of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of tlie Back aud Limbs. Pains iu the
Backend Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspcpsy,
Nervous irritability, Derangement ot uige-uve
Functions, Geueral Debility, Symptoms of Con- j
h ii in 1 't ion , cvc.
Mestai.i.t The fearful effects on the nilud i
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con- j
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil- I
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Dint nist,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, iVe., are some of the
evils produced.
TliofsANiis of persons of all ages can now
Judge what is tlie cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms ot consump
tion. '
YOUNG MEN I
Who hare injured themselves by a certain prac- j
ticc indulged in when alone, a habit frequently j
learned from evil companions, oral school, (lie I
ellvcts of which are nightly felt, even when I
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage Impus- i
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should j
apply immediately. i
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his I
country, the darling "of Ins parents, should be j
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of !
life, by the consequence of deviating from the i
path of nature aud indulging in a certain secret !
habit. Such person.- mi st, before contemplating
MARRIAGE, j
reflect that a sound mind aud body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi-
ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through ;
life becomes u weary pilgrimage ; the prospect i
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind become
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly rellei tiou, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted with onrown.
a CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure liuds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-limed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
biui, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
n ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, iioetuial
palas lu tlie head ami limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes ou the shin bones aud arms,
blotches on the head, face und extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at hist the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful siitl'ering, by seudimr
lil nt to " that Undiscovered Couutry from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to tills tcriiblc disease, through falling
lino the bauds of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
'1 END Fits, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ve., destroy the constitution, and
incapable nf curiug, keep tlie unliappv suilerer
ittoiilh after month taking llieii imhius or in
jurious coin pounds, and instead of being restured
to a renewal ol Lite Vigor ami Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
ids galling disappointment.
To such, therefore. Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable tsecreev, and
from his extensive practice aud observations iu
the great Hospitals of Europe, aud the lir-t in
this country, viz: England, France, Philadelphia
und elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most cer
tain, speedy and ellectual remedy lu the world
lor all diseases of imprudence.

IIEGIXXIXU AGAIN.
When, sometime., our feet grow weary
On the rugged hills of life.
The phth stretching long nnd dreary
With trial and Inbor rife,
Wc pause on tho upward Journey,
Glancing backward over valley nnd glen,
And sigh with nn Inftnito longing
To return and "begin agaiu."
For behind Is the dew of the. morniug
With nil Its freshness rind light,
And before nre doubts and shadows,
And the chill and gloom of tho night
And wc think of the sunny places
We passed so carelessly then,
And we sigh, O, Father, permit Ui
To return and "begin ngnln."
We think of the many dear ones.
Whose lives touched ours, nt times,
Whose loving thoughts and smiles
Float back like vesper chimes j
And Badly remember burdens
Wc might have lightened then,
Ah, gladly would we case them
Could wc "begin again."
And yet, how vain the asking I
Life's duties press nil of us on,
And who would shrink fiom the burden.
Or sigh for tlie sunshine that's gone 1
And it. may be, not far on before us
Wait fairer places than then j
Our paths may lead by st'll waters,
Though we may not "begin ngalu."
Yes, upward and onward forever
Be out path on the hills of life,
But ere long a railiant dawning
Will glorify trial and strife.
Anil our lather's hau l will lead us
Tenderly upward tlie-i,
In the joy and peace of the belter world
He'll let us "begin again."

right heavy load of eoof.es. We were pret- j
ly tightly packed, I can tell you, aud no
mistake. Well, w had the blatkies on j
deck pretty much, and we did all wo could I
to ventilate and purify them; and as yet j
we liail no nail disorder among them all
was going pretty well.
"The skipper was much engaged below ;
he was one of tho kind t! at behove in keep
ing the steam up high pressure, you know.
In fact, I had command ; the old man
never interfered. Doctor, boys aro tho
greatest nuisance and torment that you can
have nllotit c.t nshorc mi in'mlnki W'c
had two boys. They who little, dwarfish
chits. In'it. tits flinnm r noil Irb-L-u n vooo.r
it pes. It took us all our time to look after
those boys. Sometimes they fought some
times they leagued iu mischief; but if they
were out of sight you might be sure they
were doing no good. George was tho name
of one, Harry that of the other. Tlie whole
of the ship was against them, and they
against the whole of the ship. It was a
game, and the little wretches played it. Of
course they were thrashed from time to
time, but that seemed to act only as a
stimulant.
"Well, one day the coolii s got up a great
affair nt least it was great aifair to them,
poor creatures. They were to give a sort
of olforiiig to their god or at least one of
them. They wai.ted to bo in his good
book, you see, nnd so they niado him his
gift. I don't know all that was in the
bundle, but I think there was rice, and I
know there was money. The olleriug was
fixed to the trunk of the mainmast the
truck, you kuow, is tho bottom affair at
the very point of tho mast. Well, it was
fastened up during the day. nud the sign
was, that if the god came iu tho night uud
took away the bundle ho was well pleased
and meant to bless their voyage. It was
fastened all right, and they set a watch of
their own to keep a light eye to the bundle,
so that they might see tho god swoop over
und carry it away. There was also a group
of coolies at the shrouds to seo that there
was no unhallowed interference by the
ship's people.
"Well, evening shaded into night, and a
deuced dark night it was, too heavy
masses of cloud scudding across a sombre
sky ; not bad weather, but rather threaten
ing, you know. 1 was on watch, feeling
rather anxious ns to how the night might
turn out. Our doctor, a native, caine to
my side. Ho was a very intelligent fellow,
I can tell you, nnd well educated. Do
didn't believe in the god coming down and
taking away the bundle, but ho wasn't
such a fool as to express his mind before
tho coolies. They aro rather dangerous
cattle ut times. Vou read now and again
of their rising in mutiny, killing tho idlicers
nnd crew, aye, even setting lire to thu ship,
nnd playing tho deuce generally. Coolies
ore not to bo trilled with, especially when
there is a great crowd of lliein. Of course
they nro ignorant and superstitious, nnd
such nro always dangerous. Life with
such people is at a discount nud no mis
take. Well, tho doctor and I were devis
ing plans lor ventilating the ship by kind
ling tires, etc., nud so thu wnteh passed.
V lieu eight bells struck nt midnight, 1
turned in us soon ns 1 was relieved. It
seemed scarcely a minute before 1 was
forced to knov that it wns four o'clock in
the morning and limo for me to lie on dock
and take my watch. 1 found the ship
much as I had left her. The "second"
said that the wind had not risen higher
than when I went below, but that tho night
had been intensely dark. It was so at the
time be spoke. I commenced to pace to
aud fro, wishiug heartily that uiy watch
vKt over, and, e tltut paeecd, noticing th
grand diflsion of tho uncertain light of
early moiling.
"Suddiily my blood was nearly frozen
lu my veis by a devilish uproar. I thought
at lirst.hat it was mutiny then lire.
While Ivns composing my mind for action
tho sctwiuiiig was renewed tenfold. Cool
ies strtinied and crowded on deck In doz
tns. They were nil violently excited, but
did nit seem disposed to do any mischief.
I 8etvotie of tho hands to ascertain what
wnsile row, before I gave nny command,
butxforo ho returned tho native doctor
spring to my side with a glassy, terror
stitkeneyu nnd trembling limbs. 'Mr.
Tv'sul,' snys ho, 'our lives tire in danger 1
Wiut folly, what madness ! Who could
df it ? You must act very prudently, Mr.
T'psal, or this will be our last voyage.'
"While I was staling nt tlio poor horri
(M doctor, unable to sec his drift, the man
pturned, nnd said that tho row was caused
ly tlie coolies having discovered that the
iutidlo was goue or, ns they said, that
,lie god had carried it off. lt'was as vet
i'arly dawn, and tho great fact, had just
been discovered. I had forgotten about
the affair. Now I glanced up at tho truck
of the main. Xo butidlo was there. It
was gone. How '( Nothing in the way
of atmospheric force could have removed
it. Of course we could not admit the sti
peruatutal, unless, indeed, a half-formed
suspicion of the possibility of the devil hav
ing done the thing. Only one other ex
planation remained, that of a human in
tervention. 15ut how V and who 't I felt
cold nnd giddy, a clammy perspiration
oned out on me, nnd I felt shaky. I
nerved myself. I must act ut once, and
secretly.
"Tho doctor whispered
we'll be murdered in cold
discover the trick. Who
; 'Oh, Topsal,
blond, if they
could it have
been V
"I could only echo his question with a
groan. I called the 'second,' much to his
surprise and disgust, but having left tho
deck in his charge, the doctor and I went
on a vovttgo of discovery. First wo repair
ed to toy room and thought. Suddenly wc j
both raised our eves, nnd staring at each
. . . -
oUieq- wlitsper,;,! :
1 he boys. '
Oh. confound them!' cried I ; 'only
wait. If we make this voyage, and get
quit of this load of gunpowder safely, O,
won't 1 !'
" us hunt them up,' said the doctor.
"So we si t out for the forecastle. We
entered noiselessly, and crept iti the direc
tion of the boys' bunks. At first there
seemed nothing unusual. The lamps swung
and creaking, tlm timbers strained, the
water went thud, thud on the ship's bows.
We crawled nearer. We held our breath.
Hush 1 What sound was that? Was it
not liko tho clinking of money V Oh, hor
ror
. t
"The doctor and I pinched each other
black and blue, and shuddered. We crawl
ed still nearer. We got behind a coil of
rope and some barrels. Wo peeped into
the. corner where tho young scapegoats
dwelt. Yes, the metallic sound proceeded
frofli that direction. We stretched our
!lct'KS- 1 "elL' l"-',',lu our ?, s sut ine two
,!U f'01ltllr,-s Wltl tlp bundle between
ll",n- c ,sil.v l,ul secretly dividing the spoils,
11 combination ol daring and lolly ill-
most made! us commit ourselves. JJut wc
watched upon them, and clapped our bauds
over their mouths. In a second we had
them tied up nnd gagged. Tho contents
of the bundle we quickly concealed about
our persons and dropped overboard when
wo went aft. Wo set a watch over the
buys, and 1 read them a lessen iu whispers,
which put the terror of death on them. It
was a dark night, you know ; they hail
climbed up the Slav unnoticed and taken
the bundle ! I
"Ah, doctor ! I'll never forget that voy-
age. I was forever thinking that the blacks
were rising, or that they hud tired the ship. I
or that they were conspiring. On deck, I '
walked nti needles aud pins every sound I
startled me. 1 had taken all possible pro-
' ''"Hons, had my
; out it WOUhl h'lVO
arms renily, et cetera ; :
been madness to have !
thought of resistance. 1 had all the burden
on iny own shoulders, for I never told the j
skipper, and the 'second' did not seem to I
understand the nftuir nor to appreciate our i
danger, liut tho native doctor did, and
assisted mo ably. Kven my turn below
was no rest ; 1 couldn't sleep 1 dozed and
started, until I was called on deck naiu.
Oh, niii'i, it was awful ! Suspense, doctor,
is a terrible thing. 1 felt just as if I were
living over a volcano never sure but th.it
an eruption might occur. It would almost
have been a relief to have had the worst.
My hair turned gray, doctor no mistake.
The 'second' even noticed that I turned
shaky aud fanciful. No, doctor ; I didn't
drink ; that had nothing to do wilh it.
How I rejoiced at tho close of each day !
We made a pretty good voyage, and 1 al
most felt i.s if the laud, when we firs' sight
ed it, was a paradise ! When wo actually
got that cargo safi ly on shore, and I fell
my Ihroat still uncut, 1 almost thought it
too good to be true no mistake."
I don't know how many ol my cigarettes
Mr. Topsal smoked, but I know that tho
slock was sadly reduced.
"I5ut, 1 say, Topsal," I put in, "what
about the boys, you know V Did you give
them an awful thrashing ?"
Mr. Topsal looked bulkier than usual as
he replied :
"Well, thev got loose as sion as we got
into poit, robbed me, nnd desertd the ship.
That was tho last that I ever saw of them."
Tut: Metal Famine. The famine iu
iron, now so severely fell, is Ix ing supple
mented by one in copper, while it was pre
j ceded by an extraordinary advance in the
price ol tin. wtncli latter was tlie nr.ii arti
cle to feel the change. The price of tin has
risen, within a low mouths, from JL'S'i to
i'lo-lper ton, but has since youe up to JL'I.IS,
wilh a slill upward tendency. Within the
past year iron has risen from 47s to UJs
sterlings for Middlcsboroiigh, while tho j
Scotch special brands ros.i from litis to lOs .
per ton, and all other ciasses iu pro orlion. j
Copper has only lately begun to i,how the i
I'lfccU of a demand in excess of supply, i
The principal supply of this article is from
the west coast of South America. Hero it
has always been noted that miners work;
more the lower tho wages, nud less tho j
high. Tho long continued low prices hav- j
ing at length tired out many of the capital- 1
ibis engaged in tho mines, thu production
has fallen o!f, in the case of Chilli, from ;
00,000 tons in 181511, to 4",500 iu lsl, ut J
the same time that the stock, which was j
30,000 tons early iu 1K71, is now but lJ,Oo-J
touii. Thus llio civilized world liuds itself:
face to fuco wilh a copper famine. Wc are
buying largely in England, in spite of tho !
duty of i'-JJ per ton, and the price iu New
York has gone up from ii to 40 cunts per
pound, say from A'73 without duty to i'Ug !
per tou witli duty. Tho fact that tho j
luiuers oi i jue Mipcrior uro reported
as
largely emigrating lo the gold and silver
regions of the wgst lends intensity to the
esrcitj' uho.

Tho Itepubllcmi l'liitrorm.
The following is tho platform of princi
ples which wns unanimously adopted by
tho Philadelphia Convention. It covers
every important nntional question, nud will
bo heartily endorsed by nil Republicans :
Tho Kepublicnn parly of tho Uniicd
States, assembled in Nntional Convention
in tho city of Philadelphia, on tho 5th and
0th days of June, 1872, again declares its
faith, appeals to its history, nnd announces
its position upon Iho questions boforo tho
country.
First. During cloven years of supremacy
it has accepted, with grand courage, tho
solemn duties of the times ; it suppressed
a gigantic rebellion, emancipated four mil
lions of slaves, decreed tho equal citizen
ship of nil, and established universal suf
frage ; exhibiting unparalelled magnanim
ity, it criminally punished no man for po
litical offenses, and warmly welcomed all
who proved their loyally by observing tho
laws uud dealing .justly wilh their neigh
bors ; it has steadily decided with firmness
tho resultant disorders of a great war, and
initiated ii wise anil humane policy toward
tho Indian. The Pacific 1'ailroad and sim
ilar vast enterprises have been generally
aided and successfully conducted ; tho pub
lic lands freely given to actual settlers ; em
igration hasbeet) protected and encouraged,
and fuil acknowledgment of the naturalized
citizens' rights secured from Kuropctui
iio.vers; a uniform national currency h.is
been provided, repudiation frowned down, J
the national ctedit sustained under extra
ordinary burdcus, and new bonds negoti
ated at. lower rales. Tho revenues have
been carefully collected ami honestly ap
plied, dc spilo annual largo reduction of the
rates of taxation. Tho public debt has
been reduced, during General Grant's Pres
idency, nt the rate of a hundred millions a
year ; great financial crises have been
avoided, anil peace and plenty prevail
throughout the land. Menacing foreign
difficulties have been peacefully and honor
ably composed, nnd tins honor aud power
of tho nation kept it) hi.;h respect through
out the world. This glorious record of t lit,
past is the party's best recoul for the fu
ture. Wo believe the people will not en
trust the Government to any party or com
bination of men composed chielly of tliosc
who have resisted every step of this beui'li
cial progress.
Second. Completo liberty nnd exact
equality iu the enjoyment of till civil, polit
ical anil public rights, sic mid be established
and effectually maintained throughout toe
Union, by eliicicnt nnd appropriate State
and fetlf nil legislation. Neither the law or
its administration should admit of any dis
crimination in respect of citizens by reason
of race, creed, color, or previous condition
of servitude.
Third. The recent amendments to tho
Nntional Constitution should bo cordially
sustained because they are right not mere
ly tolerated because they are lav. s should
be carried out according to their spirit by
I appropriate legislation, the euloivemeDt of,
j which can safely be entrusted only to the
parly that seemed tin s'! amendments. :
Fourth. Tho National Government
should seek to maintain honorable peace
with all nations, protecting its citizens
everywhere, and sy mpatliize with all peo
ple who strive for greatci liberty.
Fifth. Any system of civil service under
which the subordinate positions of the Gov
eminent are considered mere rewards for
party zeal, is fatally demotalizing ; and we
therefore favor a reform of the system by
laws which shall abolish the evils of patro
nage, and make honesty, efficiency and
fidelity, without especially creating a life,
tenure of olliee.
Sixlh. We are opposed to future grants
of lint public lands to corporations and mo
nopolies, and demand that tho national do- ;
main be set apart for free homes for the
people. j
Seventh. The annual revenues after pay
ing current expenses, pensions and the in
terest on tho public debt, should furnish a
moderate balance for tho reduction of the
principal, ami the revenue, except so much
as may be derived from a tax upon tobac- I
co and liquors, bo raised by duties upon ;
importations in securing remunerative
wages to labor ami protect the industry, 1
growth awl prosperity of the whole coun-!
try.
Eighth. We hold in undying honor the
soldiers and sailors, whoso valor saved the
l'nion. Their pensions are a sacred dtbt
of the nation, ami the widows and orphans ,
l of those who died for their country are rn-.
titled to the care of a generous and grateful
I people. We favor such additional legisla
tion as will extend the bounty nf the Gov
! ernment to all our soldiers ami sailors who
were honorably discharged, and who, in
the time of duty became disabled, without
regard to the length of service or the cause
of such discharge. ;
Ninth. Tin', doctrine of Great lhit iin ,
and other European powers concerning ;
allegiance once a subjcit always a subject
having at last, through the efforts of the !
Republican party, been abandoned, and ;
the American idea of the individual's right j
' to transfer allegiance having been accepted i
I by European nations, it is the duly of our
Government to guard with jealous fare the ,
I right of adopted citizens against the as-
j sumption "f unauthorized claims by their j
i firmer governments, and we urge continual ,
careful encouragement and protection of j
i voluntary immigration. !
I Tenth." The franking privilege ought to i
I be abolished, and the way prepared for a j
! speedy reduction in the rales nf postage,
j Eleventh. Among '.he questions which
j press for attention is that which concerns i
i the n lation of capital and labor, and lho
I Republican party recognizes the duty of so i
shaping legislation as to secure lull protee- !
lion and the amplest field for capital, nnd !
i for labor, the creator of capital, tin' lirgist !
j opportunities anil a just share of mutual!
I profits of these two groat servants of civili
zation. 1
Twelfth. Wo bold that Congress nnd
the President have only fulfilled u imper
ative duty in their measures for the sup
pression of violent and treasonable organi
zations in certain lately rebellious regions,
and for tho protection of the ballot-box.
nnd therefore thev are entitled lo the thanks j
of the nation.
Thirteenth. We prouounee rcpudintior.
of tho public debt in any form or disguise
al a national crime. We witness with
nrido the reduction of the principal of the
debt and of the rales of interest upon the
balance, nnd confidently expect that our
excellent national currency will be perfect,
ed by a speedy rcsuinpliou of specie pny
mem. Fourteenth. Tho Republican party is
mindful of its obligation to the loyal wo
men of America for their noble devotion to
tliu cause nf freedom. Their wide Held of
! usefulness is viewed with satisfaction, and
1 hr.eft dsunB'ij cf aoy i'isi- of e'.tiz?c f:r
additional rights should bo treated with re
spectful consideration.
Fifteenth. Wo heartily Approve tho ac
tion of Congress iu extending amnesty to
those lately in rebellion, nnd rejoice In tho
growth of peace aud fraternal feeling
throughout the laud.
Sixteenth. Tho Kepublicnn parly pro
pose to rcsjioct the rights reserved by tho
people to themselves ns carefully us tho
powers delegated by them to tho State ami
tho Federal (Jovemment ; it disapproves
of the resort to uuconslitulioiinl laws for
the purpose of removing evils by iiitcrfer
cneo with rights not surrendered by tho
people to cither tho State or National Gov
ernment.
Seventeenth. It is the duty of the gener
al Government to adopt such measures ns
may tend to encourage und restore Ameri
can commerce and chip-building.
Eighteenth. Wo believe that the modest
patriotism, the earnest purpose, the sound
judgment, the practical wisdom, tho incor
ruptible integrity and (lie illustrious ser
vices of Ulysses S. Grant have commended
him to the hearts of too Americau people,
and wilti him at our head wc start to-day
upon a new march to victory.
"1omi:o," the famous monster elephant
whopo exploits have gone out through tho
lt-nglh and breadth of the. land, died in
Chicago recently. Ho had been ailing for
several weeks, his disease being located in
the fore feet, which from eotno unknowti
I cause, had become affected with intlamma
i lion, resulting in actitu pain and a general
debilitation of the system, the effect of
which had been noticed by a rapid waste
of flesh. An operation was performed, upon
llieni a few days previous, but tho inflam
mation continued to extend toward tho
breast, resulting in his death, as slated.
His owner and trainer, Mr. Forepnugh, to
whoso menagerie ho was attached, valued
him at fifty thousand dollars, aud cousider-

Tiik Garden you Womkn. There is
nothing bitter for wives and daughters,
physiciiilly, than to have the care of a gar
deu ; a flower-spot if nothing mote. What
is pleasanter than to spend a portion of
every passing day in working among plants
and watching the growth i f shrubs and
tics and plants, and lo observe the open
ing of llowcrs from week to week ns tho
season advances 'i Then how much it adds
to the enjoyment to kuow thai your own
leueli have planted and tilled them, and
have pruned and trained thtin this is a
pleasure that requires neither great riches
nor profound knowledge. Tho wife or
daughter who low s home, and would seek
ever to make il the best p. lace for husband
and brother, is willing to forego some gos
siping morning calls for the sake of having
leisure for the cultivation of plants, shrubs
and dowers. The advantage which women
personally derive from stirring the soil and
siiulliiig the morning air arc freshness ami
beauty of cheek and brightness of eye,
cheerfulness of temper, vigor ol mind, and
purity of heart. Consequently she is more
cheerful and lovely as a daughter, mow
dignified ami womanly as a sister, and
mure attractive and conlidiug as a wife.
