REMEMBER THE POOR.
FROM REAL LIFE.

Reader. you have probably seen many
nobIe-lookiug men, but never one more
so than Charles Frankly. His looks did
not belle him, for be was all he seemed
to te. He was the son OF an honorrd aud
retired merchant. that dwelt far up in the
upper part OF the town, away from the
hum of business and the cares of business
life His business he had given up to
Charles, who carried i; on with much en-
ergy and tact that it could be but thri-
wing and prosperous, and bid fair, ere
long, to bceoue the best in the whole
Metropolis.
Many we're the temptations which dai.
ly beset the path of Charles Frankly; yet
be passed through them with character
unrlemishcd and without spot to mar
the great uame be bore. Many proud
belle bowed low before him and sought
to win his smile, but twas all in- vain, for
be saw through the thin gauze that screen
ed them, and scorned them the more for
wearing 1t.
A beautiful bride his father had chosen
for hlu; gay, dashlng and brilliant; they
called her Isabella Leroy. Yet. be fan
cird sometimes that a false robe .broud
ed her, too.

roy mansions. was "a seemingly old man.
1t was Chaales Frankly, thus disguised
to see through the gauze that others wore.
Ringing the bell. he was answered by L.
abela 10 person. with but one look at his
old tattrrcd garments and out>tretchcd
palm, she said, "Begone, sir, aud shut
the door in hl, face. With curse upon
his lips. he walked away.
E"euiDg came; the mansion of James
Leorp was brightly lighted. and all was
gaiety and mirth within Yet there was
one that joined not the gay throng; in her
room she -at pale and iremhling. holding
in her hand a crumpled note; again she
reads it oTer to see that there is no posi-
bic mitake:

"Lost! lost!" she said to herself
"Gone forever! Bot who cares!' And,

VIVA; THr SECRET OF PowER,-By Mrs. E. D. F.
N Southworh, author of Lost Heiress," "D Deserted
Wife," Missing Bride" " India" "Wife's Victory"
Retrbution" &c, Sc.
Those who have examined the proof sheets o. this
last effort of Mrs Southworh, pronounce it even su-
perior to any of her former most popular works We
take the liberty to extract the following from the Pub
fishers circular:
1t seems the aspiration of Mrs. Soutlworth ever to
rise from excellence to excellence and TO make each
succeeding work superior all that have prece eded it,
aud as she generally succeeds her last work s il al
most every case, her best.
In striking originality and beauty of conception and
strength and vvidness of deneation well as in her
peculiar power of facinating the minds and hearts of
her readers, Mrs. Southworth stands alone In what
work of fiction for instance, have met a char
ncter so original piquant and captivating as her nim
liable Hagar, that child of passion and Imagination in
the Deserted wife; the bewtching elf Jaauelina in
the Missing Bride the heroic and devoted Kate Ka-
yanagh, in the Curse of Clifton.
But in her lltist work. VIVA The Secret of Power
the authoress has ercelled herself Viva the heroine
is beautiful gifted and inspiring maiden whose pres
ence is life-gving power TO all within her sphere ;
whose influence like magic rather like grace. devel
opes the better nature ofa with whom she brought in
contact--so redeemng. elevatng and inspiring is her
bengnan influence upon the dreaming girl artist The
odora. and the poor but gifted and inspirino peasant
| boy Wakefield Her Secret of Power consists in
her realizing faith in the goodness wisdom and ecien-
cy latent in every human creature, made in the likeness
of the Creaor in her sympathetic charity that lead,
her to seek and draw forth these hidden in all
souls and in her animatng hope that assures her of
victory With these spiritual agencies of Faith Charity
and Hope she overcomes in herself and in Others the
fearful powers of the World, the Flesh ard the Devil
Like her Divine Master, she to bring light to
the darkened hope to the despairng and strength to
| the weak"

NAPoLRoE.-Last week we visited Napc-
poleon, the capital of Henry county. 1t con-
tains FIVE or six hundred inhabitants but is
not Incorporated, and the streets are conse-
quently not provided with side walks, and the
town generally presents rather careless ap-
pearance. A large majority of the inhabi-
tants are democrats, aud of course all corpo-
rations are ignored by them. However, we
heard some democrats regret that the town
was not incorporated. .... 4
Their Court House is as good as, and they
claim that it is better than, any other building
Of the kind in the North West. They also
have a fine school building. grist and saw
mill, ten groggeries, and no church. A Car
son League is formed, and the liquor will
probably be annihilated and then church
will doubtless be erected. Some of the dem
ocratic office-seekers, headed by the North
West, oppose the temperance movement, as it
may injure their prospects in certain quar-
ter, but the honest portion of the party and
well-wishers of the town, are right, and no
partizan feeling characterizes their humane
efforts. ....
The Napoleon Star,"a a new Republican
paper, will be issued in a few days by our
friend Weimer. A portion of the county of
ficers are now Republican, and C. can sweep
will be made this fall. "".t
A good band is organized, and the music
discoursed in our hearing indicated that those
holding the instruments understood whatthe
were made for.
The Strahorn House, by our old friend G
Strahorn, is the only hotel in the place, and
the accOmmo1 dating landlord provides every.
thing but liquor for bis guests.
Many of the inhabitants of Napoleon and
vicinity are from Central Ohio, and thay
bring with them degree of intelligence and
enterprise which will find ample opportunity
for practical operations in developing the rich
soil of the county and giving to their shire
town rapid and healthy growth.
