REPUBLIC AND A MoSARcHY.-The difference
between Republic and monarchy is thus
pointed out by somebody:
"Pile all the people into pyramid, with the
President for an apex, and you have the symbol
of Republic. You can shake the President.
but you can't move the united force of the peo-
pie. Invert that pyramid, with King for its
base, and you have the symbol of monarchy
Trip up the King, and the whole structure falls
into confusion

Bar Prof. Upham comes to the conclusion
that elf men, or women either, wish to realize
the fall power of personal beauty, it must be by
cherishing noble hopes and purposes-by hav-
ing something to do and something to live for,
which is worthy of humanity-and which, by
expanding the soul gives expansion and symme-
try TO the body which contains it."

EUREKA! EUREKA! THE ESSENCE
OF LIFE IS FOUND!

1T Is the most extraordinary, the most divine,
i blessed and miraculous concoction ever con-
ceived by man. 1t is emphatically the greatest
medical discovery of any age or country, and
language is utterly incompetent to overpraise it,
because it gives life and strength where the
mind, body, spirits, limbs, blood and intestincs
are inert and prostrated.

But the bewitching fall of her lustrous black

yards, which are estimated to yield about so, :
100000 barrels of wine annually, or about two
barrels for each inhabitant; the aggregate worth
OF this vintage is about 100000, 900. 1t should
be borne in mind that the greater portion of this
immense product is consumed by the French

sad Effects of the Panic.

depression upon the thousands and thousands of
females who are thrown out of employment in
the sewing and millinery establishments of the

under the pressure of hunger r, as the last degree
of recklcssness, loses its hold upon women, who
'but for sore need, would look with loathing upon
a profession of sin that destroys both soul and
body. The New York Courier and Enquirer
says:
