will be illustrated whenever the subjects de

and determined discussion of Sanitary and
Social Questions. Those who have read the
past issues of this magazine will need no as
surance of the ungloved vehemence of ita
work. It leaves no room to doubt its mean

The Editor of Dio Lewis's Monthly has, in
this numbers, all in his peculiar style, at

people that "thou art the man." "Vivisec

this number, will awaken indignation and
tears. The Editor has likewise the follow
ing papers: "A Balky Mule." Camp Life
in the Mountains of California," "Our
Brains and Nerves,'' "A Love Story (Anti
Fat)," "Royal Albert Hall," "Open Fires
vs. Stoves and Furnaces," etc. These are
among the best contributions that Dr. Lewis
has made to his very excellent magazine.

Tag Season's Pi.kasi-be Compliments or
the B. A O. is the Shape of Low Rates asd
Perfect Facilities. The B. A 0., as usual,
is first to the front with holiday greetings,
extending the compliments of the season in
a manner at once pleasing and enticing
The low rites go into effect at all stations on
Main-Line-Divisions and branches east of
the Ohio River, except between Baltimore
and Washington, on the twenty-secoud, and
those who go to take Christmas turkey
with friends may remain until after New
Year, and enjoy themselves to the greatet
extent. If they do not want to go on that
date, tickets can be had on the 2-id. 24th and
2oth, thus to cover Christmas travel, and
tickets good to return until and including
Junuar, 2d. Again, on the 2!'th, tickets go
on sale for New Year travel, anil can be
bought that day, the 30th. 31st and January
1st. good to return including the second.
It makes no difference in which direction
one wants to go, tbe low rate covers between
all stations as prescribed. There is no doubt
but what the holiday travel this year will
be unusually extensive, the prospect of
ideasant weather, the great number Of
trains, and low rates, all combining to create
a desire to meet old friends and have a good
time once a vear at least.
The best place in town to buy your Christ
mas Cards is at Welfleys, because there you
will find the greatest variety, the most beau
tiful designs, and the lowest prices.

where will be found the largest and best se
lected assortment of Holiday Books in town.

tion books, sets of Dickens, ThackeJay,

Give him a lift ! Don't knee! in prayer.
Nor moralize with his despair;
The man is down, and bis great need
Is ready help not prayer and creed.
'Tis time when wounds are washed and
healed
That the inward motive be revealed ;
But now, whate'er tbe spirit be.
Mere words arefhallow tnockerp.
One grain of aid just now is more
To him than tomes of saintly lore.
Pray, if you must, within your heart.
But give him a lift, give him a start.
The world is full of good advice,
Of prayer and praise and preaching nice
But generous souls who aid mankind
Are like to diamonds hard to find.
Giye like a Christian speak in deeds;
A noble life's the best of creeds ;
Ami he shall wear a royal cruwu
Who giyes a lift when men are down.
Gibhart's Best. If you want good bread
buy none other than "Gebhart's Best Flour,"
manufactured under the "New Jonathan
Mills Process," the improvements prepara

proprietors of the mill $.T0,0(V, and our re
tail trade of one hundred barrels a month
attests the fact that it is no humbug.
