HOSPITAL
lR. JOHNSTON,
Puvt?icinri of this celebrated Institution, has
discovered tbe most certain, speedy, pleasant and
tffectual rcmcdv in the world for ail
DISEASES OF IMPRUDENCE.
Weakness ot the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Iinpotency, (icneral Debili
ty, Nervousness, Dyspcpsy, Languor, Low
Spirits, Confssion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Tiiridlty, Tremblings, Dimnes
of Sijrht or Giddiness, Dieasa of the He:ul,
Throat, Nose or Skin, Affections of Liver, Lnntrs,
Stomach or Bowels these terrible Disorders
arisins; from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practice more fatal to their
victims than the soug of Syrcus to the Mariners
of Ulysaes, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, reuilerimr marriage, ite., impos
sible. XOUNG MEN
especially, who nave become the victims oT Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely rave
thousands of yonnt; men of the most exalted
talents and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
tliuudcrs of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
livint lvre, may call with full coulidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Porsous or Young Men contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Losss
f Procreative Power liupotcncy), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner
vous Debility, or any other Disqualification,
upeedlly relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide in his houor as a gentle
man, and con lidcutly rely unon his skill asaPliv
eician. ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Iinpotency, Joss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper Indulgences.
Young" persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of thedrcidfulconseqenccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lo6t sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent t Besides
leing deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
irritability, Dyspe, Ja, Palpitation of the Heart,
ludigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons ruined lu health by unlearned pretcu-
ders who keep them triflinc mouth after month,
taking poisonous and injurious compounds,
filiould apply immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
Menilcr of the Royal College of Surireons, Lou
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Col'cges in the United States, and the greater
pHit of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfuhiess, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, uutilting
thetn for either business, study, society or mar
liairc. Tuese arc some of tbe sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of t'on
cutnption. &c.
Mestajxt The fearful effects on the mind
arc much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con- '
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodimrs, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, fcc, are some of the
evils produced.
THorsatsDS of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the causeof their decliniug health,
losing their vigor, becomiug, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eyes, cough and symptoms of consuinp- '
lion.
vonso MEN
Who have injured lit m selves by a certain prac
tice indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, reuders marriage irapos- '.
sible, and destroys both miud and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hopeof fcis
country, the'darliug of his parents, shonld be
Rinitcliei from all prospects and enjoyments ot
life, by the cou6equenee of deviating from the
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons must before coutemnlating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the moJ
necessary requisites to promote eonuubial happi
nefs. Indeed without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadow ed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes MUihted with our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the nilsirulded and imprudent votary ol
pleasure tinds that he has Imbibed the seeds ol
(his painful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timed sense or 6hanic, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to thos who, from
education and resiKX-tability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctaral
painB iu the head and limbs, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro- ;
crehsing with frightful rapidity, till at last the I
palate or the mouth or the bones 01 me noseiaii
in, and the victim of this awful diacaae becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence
,tio traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through railing
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly l'oi
on, Mercury, fcc, destroy the constitution, and
incapable of enriug, keep the uuhappy sufferer
month after month takiug their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a reucwal of Life Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to tsigh over
his trailing disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Jonxfero pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and" observations in
the great Hospitals of Euro, and the first it:
this couutry, vir : England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most ecr
tuin. apeedy and effectual remedy in the world
for ail diseases of imprudence.

I-iT'No letters received unless postpaid and
containing a stamp to be used on the reply. Per
son writing should state age, and send a portion
of Rdvirtiscment describing symptoms.
There are so many Paltry, Designing and
Worthless Impnstcrs advertising themselves as
Physicians, trifling with and ruining the health
of all who unfortunately fall into their power,
that Dr. Johnston deems It necessary to say cs
frecially to those unacquainted with his reouta
tion that his Credentials or Diplomas ulwaya
hang in his office.
ENDORSEMENT OF THE PRESS.
The many thousands cured at this Establish
ment, year after year, and the numerous im
portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr.
Johnston, witnessed by the representatives of the
press and many other papers, notices of which
have aleured again and again before the public,
besides his standing as a gentleman of character
and responsibility, is a sullicicut guarantee to the
afflicted. Sli'm diseases speedily cured.

LET VH TRY TO HE HAPPY.
Let ns try to be happy ! We may If we will,
Find some pleasures in life to o'erbalancc the ill ;
There never was an evil, if well understood
But what, lightly managed, v.ould turn to a
good.
If we were but ns ready to look t tlie light
As we are to sit moping because it Is night,
We should own it a truth, both in word aud in
deed, .
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed.
Let us try to be happy ! Some shades of regret
Are sure to hang 'round, which we cannot for-
. -
There are times when the . lightest of spirits must
bow, '. , ' ,
Aud the sunniest face wear a cloud on Its brow.
We rangt never bid feelings, the purest and best,
Lie blunted aud cold in ottr bosom at rest :
But the dueperotir own griefs, the greater our
need
To try to bj happy, let other hearts bleed.
Let us try to be happy ; It is not for ioug
We shall cheer on the other with eounsel or song ;
If we make the best of our time that we may,
There is much we can dp to enliven the way ;
Let ue only in earnestness each do our best,
Before God and our conscience, and trust for the
rest ;
Still taking this truth, both in word and in deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed.
THE C.OLDEX SIDE.
There is many a rest on the road of life,
If we would only stop to hake It j
And many a tone fiom the better land,
If the querulous heart would wake it.
7o the sunny eouI that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers arc bright.
Though tlit wintry storm prevaileth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still liaed ;
Tor the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never a uight without a day,
Not an eveniug without n morning ;
And the darkest hour, the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There Is many a gem in the path of life,
Which we pass In our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jewelled crown
Or the miser's h carded treasure ;
It may be the love of a little child,
r a mothers prayer to neaveu,
Oronly a beggar's grateful thanks
Tor a cup of water given.
Ec.tcr to weave in the web of life
A bright aud golden filling,
Ard to do God's will with a ready heart,
And hand that are swift und willing,
Than to snap the delicate silver thread
Of our carious lives asunder.
And then Ileav'n blame for the tangled end's
And sit to grieve nnd wonder.
THE MIKTKEKS OF WOODLAW.V.
'.So good of you, Paul,' and the widow
smiled sweetly as she held out her haud.
'Only my duty,' was the response. 'I
hepe everything is settled satisfactorily, for
I must take this evening's train.'
The widow assured him that it was, and
hs weot away, to be absent for an indefi
nite period of years.
iaui tvuouford was u young mart oi
some twenty-eight years of age. lie was
a gentleman of 'means and leisure,' which,
translated into plain English, may be un
derstood as an independent fortune and no
profession. He complained as much of
Cit))t as any lady of fashion ; ami now,
being tired of his native country, deter
mined to make a prolonged tour of the old
world.
Meanwhile chance threw him into the
vicinity of a distant cousin, whom he had
met but once in his life. lie determined
to call ou him, and upon doing so, was
shocked to find that he was dead, and that
his widow and two daughters were living
in shabby genteel poverty.
Paul Woodford hated the sight of pover
ty ; and the widow realizing that, began
to dilate upon the horrors of her present
life.
'Resides,' she said, plaintively, 'I have
I an orphan niece of Mr. Raymond's to sup
Aiivertis'mg or ! port. She has lived with us for years, and
1 1 cannot turn her out.'
I 'No indeed, madam !' exclaimed Paul,
aud then for a moment he was silent. '1
j think I have a plan which will be to your
j advantage,' he observed. 'I am going
! abroad, and intended to shut up Wood
J lawn. Instead, if you will honor me by
going there and taking charge ilunng my
j absence, you will honor tue.'
A new light shone in the widow's laceal
that proposition.
'I will make provisions that your two
daughters aud niece shall be kept at board
ing school until they are educated. Then
you can receive them at Woodlawn aud re
main there until I atn married.'
He laughed as he said that, for he believ
ed marriage a bore, aud did not intend to
indulge in the 'yoke aud chains.'
1
'You are too good,' the widow responded.
'No ! I will write a letter of instructions
to my steward. He will be ready to re
ceive you at your earliest convenience.
Also, your little income that you have now
must be allowed to remain untouched, aud
accumulate for the emergency mentioned.'
He had bade Mrs. Raymond farewell,
and he wrote a long letter to his steward.
Seven years passed before Paul Wood
i
ford turned his face homeward.
Meanwhile he had received occasional
letters from Woodlawu.
The widow informed him that the three
had graduated aud returned 'home ;' the
steward that he paid the quarterly allow
ance promptly, and that the estate was in a
flourishing condition. That was all the
news he received all he cared for.
Late one afternoon in spring, he wended
his way leisurely, on foot, from the village

three roues. lie did not mini! the waiK,
for he had become accustomed to pedes
trianism during his long sojourn abroad.
Ho had traveled almost all the Old World
over ; he had even gone to Australia and
iuto the diggings; but yet he was the
same fastidious Paul Woodford as of yore.
He was enjoying the scenery, and think
ing that, after all, the world held no fairer
spot than his own domain, which was
now lieinnin? to bloom like a second
I Paradise.
j He stopped fchort before the fountain,
when he caught the first glimpse of his
house, to still more admire the view before
him.
Four ladies were ou the piazza. And,
I toying with some worsted work, he recog-
i nized as the widow RaynionU ; two otuers
were reading the latest novels ; while the
fourth was industriously flowing.
'I think my slay at Woodlawn will be
short,' he thought to himself. 'I can't
stand bo many feminine charms every day
of my life.' . -. i . 7.
At that iustautMrs. Ray mood raised her
eyes and observed the stranger.
Paul was so bronzed and travel-stained
that she did not reeognize him, especially
ns iu her last letter he had spoken of an in
tended visit to China. ; .
'Fay, go down aud order that person
off!' she said, iu tones sharp enough to
reach Paul's ears. 'He is lounging around
here to catch a glimpse of Arabella or
Florence.' - ,
'Go lr was the commanding retort ; and
Fay o!eyed her. -
I thought she was one of the girls,' Paul
soliloquized to himself as he advanced slow
ly ; 'she must only be a servant. By
Jove1 as she neared him 'what a lovely
face!'
He dofled his hat and stood before her
respectfully, somewhat curious to know
how she would give the command.
'I beg your pardon, sir,' she commenced,
without raising her eyes, 'but Mrs. Ray
mond objects to having any one loitering
around the grounds.'
'I am sorry to have incurred her dis
pleasure,' he returned. 'I was only admir
ing the scenery and contrasting it with any
I had ever seen abroad.'
Involuntarily she raised her eyes to hie
face, and at that moment Mrs. Paymond'a
sharp voice came floating to them in the
one word 'Fay !'
Fay turned as quickly as if struck.
'I beg your pardon, sir ; Mrs. Raymoud
will be angry with me. Please to leave
the grounds.'
'Not yet,! he returned. 'Do not hasten;
Mrs. Raymond will not object, when she
learn3 who I am.'
'Mr. Woodford !' Fay exclaimed, un
consciously. 'Am I right ? Aunt was not
looking for you.'
'One of the girls, after all !' Paul mut
tered to himself.
Mr9. Raymond began to sail airily down
the steps, when ail at once it struck her
who the visitor might be, and she hesitat
ed. At that moment Fay announced him.
The young ladies caught the name, and
they dropped their books and rushed im
pulsively down to meet him, crying :
'It is our cousin Paul ! It is our cousin
Paul !'
lie was almost dragged into the house,
aud the girls hung around him in a parox
ysm of pleasure.
'Our cousin Paul !' seemed to have been
the one thought of their lives.
He noticed that Fay slipped away that
she had not welcomed him ; and he won
dered why he could be Mr. Woodford' to
her, and 'Cousin Paul' to the other two,
when he had treated them all alike.
The days went by aud lengthened into
weeks. Paul found much to occupy his
time. He went over all the accounts with
his steward, and visited every part of the
estate. He was bent on improvements, and
together they were very busy in forming
plans and carrying tiiem out.
Whenever he returned into the house lie
was noui i hv tne wtjow anj ))er lwo
daughters. They hung around htm, ana
seemed almost to worship him, but he
scarcely ever met Fay.
When he asked for her, he was told that
she was queer ; she did not like company ;
Ue preferred to be calmly buried iu her
books. :
He thought it strange, but he had no
reason to doubt their assertion; yet he
could not but contrast what little he had
seen of her with the more forward cousins,
and his mental conclusion concerning them
was 'pretty, but course.'
'lie will never marry you unless one of
you charm him,' Mrs. Raymond said to
her daughters, 'so we are sure of a home
here for a lifetime. Ho has seen women of
all nations, and I am sure he is heart free ;
Desides he is thirty-five if he is a day.'
Oue day Paul received word that an old
friend of his was coming into the neighbor
hood, aud a large out-door party was to be
held, to which he and his three cousins had
a special invitation. Of course Mrs. Ray
mond was to chaperone the party.
'I dou'l know what the girls will do for
soniethiug to wear,' said Mrs. Raymond,
thoughtfully. 'They have attended so
many out door festivals, this season, that
most of their light clothing is spoiled. Of
course, they cannot wear silks.'
'Ccrtaiuly not. Do not let that worry
you. I am going to the city, this evening,
aud will purchase a dress apiece tor them
or rather materials to make them.
'How kind of you I' she ejaculated.
The next day Paul returned with three
loyely organdies white with golden leaves.
The girls went in ecstasies.
'I want you all to look your best,' he
said. 'My friend is a single man. Tell
Fay to be sure aud atteud.'
The day dawued pleasantly. Paul was
talking to the steward about the all'air.
'I shall want a horse to ride myself,' he
observed, 'because the carriage will only
hold four.'
'That will include yourself, sir,' the old
man returned.
'Why V
'Recause Miss Fay will not be present.'
Oh, yes, she will. I especially asked
her company.'
The old man smiled.
'I beg your pardon, sir, but Mrs. Ray
' mond never permitted her to visit with her
daughters. She has worked so hard on
the dresses for the two young ladies that
she has had no time to touch her own.
My wife is housekeeper you know. She is
forbidden to sneak to vou concerning the
orphan ; but my tongue is my own this

.""ji
i- :...i st
4 Ynti are riizht. Mr. Allen. I am "lad
you mentioned this. Say nothing of il,
please I'
Paul's eyes were opened. He began to
see why they were so sweet on 'cousin
Paul' and Fay so cold.
'Is not Fay going with us ?' he asked in
apparent surprise, when the ladies came
out to the carriage.
'I could not persuade her to make her
dress; she was so infatuated with a book
she was reading. Pray do not be angry
with her, cousin. I have allowed her to
choose her own pleasure, and she had no
idea that she was doing anything rude by
refusing to go.'
Paul made no response, but he knitted
his brows.
;IIe is angry,' Mrs. Raymond said to
herself. 'I need not feel any more alarm.
ITo will avoid her.'
He escorted them to the grove, and af
ter presenting his friend to them, disap
peared. He returned home by a by-path. A lit
tle way ahead he espied Fa v. He hurried
up aud cat down beside her.
'Why did you not oblige me by going to
the festival ? he asked.
'For two reasons. I was not wanted,
and I had nothing to wear. Mr. Wood
ford.' .
'Indeed ! Why did you not have your
dress made, as well as Arabella aud Floy!'
'I I beg your pardon,' she said, a
flush suffusing her cheek. 'I had no right
to accept your gift, Mr. Woodford. Mrs.
Raymond told me bo, and added that you
were surprised at my indelicacy in remain
ing here. Relieve me, I am truly thankful
for your past kindness. I shall try to
make a good use of the education you gave
me, and and will go away.'
He turned red and while by turns with
suppressed anger.
'I am sorry that Mrs. Raymond has mis
represented me. I have always, when
awayylhought of you as my cousin the
same as the other two girls aud since I
have been here I have been hurt to think
you persisted in avoiding me.'
She raised her eyes to his face bright
honest eyes, that once seen could never be
forgotten.
'I am so glad,' she ejaculated, 'that
you did not think I was intentionally in
truding.' .
A new impulse seized Paul.
'This is only my cousins' home until I
marry,' he said. 'I wish to marry uow.
if if you will have me, Fay.'
What could Fay say ? She knew she had j
loved Paul Woodford from the day Bhe
went to order him off the grouuds, and
Paul assured her the love was mutual.
Mrs. Raymond's chagrin was indescriba
ble, when she returned from the fete, to
find Paul and Fay together.
'I am going to marry,' he Baid. 'Al
low me to present you to my future wife.'
They tried to congratulate the happy
couple, but words choked them.
'My steward ha3 been very careful of
your income, in case of this cmergeucy,'
be said to Mrs. Raymond the next morn
ing. 'You have a trifle over ten thou
sand dollars in the bank, and I will pre
sent you with that little villa on the Hud
son for your lifetime, and your daughters
until they are married, in case they survive
you.'
She dared not refuse I. is kindness, but
the thought of their leaving and Fay queen
ing it at Woodlawn as the master's wife
was like gall.
The girls arc still single, and pay occa
sional visits to 'Our Cousin Paul's wife.'

A Fourth
Race of Men
(ninea.
Ia Xew
A late number of the "proceedings of the
Royal Geographical Society" contains an
acount of the discoveiies of her Majesty's
ship Basilisk in the year 1874. To the
three roes of New Guinea already known
to inhabit the island viz., the Papuans on
the south, the Arfaks of the mountainous
country on the north, and the Malays of
the norwest Captain Moresby has added
a fourth by the discovery of what is pro-
ans'nhabltTug"" the whole of the eastern
peuinsuia of New Guinea in its northern
and southern shores, from about 148 de
grees longtitude to East Cape, which is in
1-30 devices minutes east longitude, aud
the adjacent archipelago. This race is
distinctly Malay, but differs from the pure
Malay in being smaller in stature, coarser
in feature, thicker lipped and having more
frizzled hair. They have high cheek bones,
their noses are inclined to be acquiliue, the
eyes dark and beautiful, with good eye
brows ; many of the uieu have light hair
aud a Jewish cast of countenance ; they
rise to a height of from 5 feet 4 inches to
5 feet 8 inches, and are sinewy, though not i
muscular, and slight, graceful, and ell-like j
in the pliability of their bodies. This race
merges into the pure Papuan in the neigh
borhood of Cape Possession, where they
vary iu color, stature and feature ; and a j
mixture of habits confirms ihe idea of a j
fusion of race. The new race bury their
dead in the ground and build small thatch
ed huts over them. Their houses, like
those of the Papuans, are built on piles,
and communicate with the ground by
means of a pole notched with steps. They
are rude but successful cultivators of the
ground, using stone mattocks for turning
up the soil ; tbey cultivate vams and taro.
Cannibalism does not prevail largely among
them, though apparently it is not unknown.
They are affectionate to their children, but
in some cases are willing to barter them
for iron axes. They do not keep their wo
men ia the background, but allow them to
have a voice in the trading. The men are
'but slightly tattooed, but the women are
tattooed all over in graceful patterns ; the
womeu crop their hair short, but the men
wear theirs long and frizzled ; the men
wear a waistcloih only, but the women a
short grass petticoat or ti-ti. Unlike Ihe
Papuans they possess the art of making
pottery. They are better cooks than the
Papuans, aud boil their fond as well us
roast and bake it. The Papuans fish only
with a hook and line and a barbed spear,
but this race make fishing-nets with fibres
of a small ncttlc-like plant The Papuans
use ouly outrigger canoes, but those have
several kinds. They have developed" a sys
tem of warlike tactics adapted to the weap
ons they employ, and when Captain Mores
by approached them they formed up in two
regular lines, the first line armed with mis-
sile epcars, and the secoud lice with clubs. ;
This is the conformity with the system i
adopted by ail nations similarly aimed.and
has, no doubt, been arrived at independent'
ly as the result of experience. Upon the
whole, they must be regarded as a more
civilized race than the Papuans. Up to the
time of their discovery by the Basilisk, they
appear to have had little or no acquain
tance with white men.
Catholicism in Mexico is said by a cor
respondent of the Boston Journal, writing
from the capital of that Republic, to be
overthrown completely, all connection be
tween Church and State severed, and the
Protestant denominations of the United
States have established missions there in
all the principal cities. The Roman re
ligion seems to have shared the fate qf
Maximilian's empire, for since his fall a
merciless war has been waged against it.
We qnote :
"Magnificent churches have been confis
cated and torn down, or even sold to Pro
testants as places of worship. Other eccle
siastical property Las been taken by the
Government nnd sold. Monasteries have
been broken up, prieftU cannot live in com
munities or appear iu the slreeU in clerical
garb, and even those good woman, the
Sisters of Charity, have been unceremoni
ously expelled. Iu short, the "Law of
Reform," promulgated by Juarez iu July,
18j9, to overthrow Ihe temporal power of
the Church of Rome, has been carried out
to the letter. The Romish priests have
been as completely shorn of power as wore
their Aztec predecessors, and yet a large,
very large, majority of the Mexican peo
ple are sincere believes in the faith of the
Church of Rome. As a priest remarked,
they are "very good Catholics, but very
bad Christians.' "
Thi3 hostility seems to arise from a be
lief that the Church was the main cause

Cake for Daughters. Would you
show yourself really good to your daugh-"
ters ? Then be generous to them in a truer
sense than that of lieaping trinkets on their -necks.
Train them for independence first,
and then labor to give it to them. Le t
them, as soou as ever they are grown up,
have some little money, or meatte of mak
ing money, to be their own, and teach
them how to deal with U. without needing
every moment somebody to help them.
Calculate what you give them or will be
queath to them, not, as is usually done, on
the chances of their making a rich marriage,
but on the probability of their remaining
single, and according to the scale of living
to which you have accustomed them. Sup
press their luxury now if need be, but do
not leave them with scarcely bare necessa
ries hereafter, in striking coulrast to their
present home. Above all, help them to
help themselves. Fit them to be able to
add to their own means rather than to be
forever pinching and economizing till their
minds are narrowed and their hearts are,
sick. Give all the culture you can to every
power which they may possess. If they
should marry after all, they will be the hap
pier and the better for it, if they should re
main among the million of the unmarried,
they will bless you in your grave, and say
of you, cannot be said of many a doting
parent by hi3 surviving child, "My father
cared that I should be happy after his death
as well as while I was his pet and his toy.'
Marrying Without Love. Many a
young lady writes to say that she has had
an advantageous offer of marriage. The
man who has made il is of exemplary char
acter ; he is well off in this world's goods,
is engaged in a profitable and reputable
business, and there is no particular reason
n LiJ OlI CUV Itll UsU CfcLWV pb 1113 lUfOOl M
but she does not love him. In our judg
ment that is reason enough. We do not
believe iu marriage without love. Respect
is all very well, and tLat one should have
any way ; but it docs not take the place of
efl'ection. It is said that in such matches
love comes after marriage. We have no
doubt that it often docs. Rut we think
love should precede as well as follow mat
rimony. Il is always liable to happen to
one who baa nover loved. Cut suppose,
subsequent to marriage, JCiiJiaateatV
happensto be other than the husband
what then ? This is a contingency not
pleasant to contemplate. No ; if you do
not love, then do not marry. Singleness
is blessedness compared to marriage with
out effect ion. The connubial yoke sits easy
on the shoulders of love ; but it ia most
galling without this oue and only sufficient
support.
Strange are tue u?e of false hair.
It is known that its collection is an im
portant branch of trade as its weariug is of
fashion, that it leads to grave robberies,
that the article often causes and spreads
desease, that it is employed to hide bald-
ness which children used to be warned to
respect, aud that it is also a means of su
perfluous dtcoratiou to those not suffering
from want. Rut lately it has been brought
iuto notoriety iu other ways. In a recent
English assault and battery trial the crush
ing testimony against the defendant was
the production in court of masses of hair
torn from the victim's head, but aa expert
being summoned, swore t; the satisfaction
of the judge that the samples were "trade
hair' and never were a part of the plaintiff's.
The case was dismissed but the singular
use of hair was gene into the court report
historys of false appcarauces ; and now in
Albany the other day a woman committed
suicide by hangim; herself with a 'hair
switch that she removed from her head for
the purpose.' These are suggestive illus
trations of capillary attraction. Since cue
! suicide has been so performed, it is inevita
ble that others like it should follow, and,
perhaps, at List the false hair delusion is
coins to work its own cure in this radical
fashion. It would be as fit a solution as
some of those chemistry-compounded.
A Beautiful Parlor Ornajiext.
A beautiful ornament for the sitting room
can be made by coverinj a common glass
tumbler with moss, the latter fastened in
place by sewing-cotton wound around,
then glue dried moss upou a saucer, into
which set the tumbler, filling it and the re
maining space in the saucer with loose
earth from tbe woods. Plant the former
with a variety of ferns, and the latter with,
wood violets. On the edge of the grass
also plant some of the nameless little ever
green vine, which bears red (scarlet) ber
ries, aud whose dark, glossy, ivy-like foli-
agC will trail over the fresh blue and white
of the violets with beautiful effect. Anotli-
j cr good plan is to fill a rather deep plate
with some of the nameless but beautiful
silvery and light green and delicate pink
mosses, which arc met with in profusion in
all swamps and marshes. This can be
kept fresh and beautiful as long as it is not
neglected to water it once a day. It must
of course, be placed in the shade, or the
moss will blanch and die. In the centre
of this a clump of large azure violets should
be placed, adding some curious lichens and
pretty fungus growth from the barks of
forest trees, and a few ccnes, shells and
pebbles.
The postmaster-gineral has issued an
order for tbo re-letting of those postal con
tracts in which frauds were recently dis
covered. No bids will be received from the
parties who were guilty ot frauds in con
nection with previous contracts.
