Great indeed is the task assigned te
women. Who can exaggerate its impor.
lance !? Not TO make laws, not to govern
empires, but To form those by whom
laws are made, armies led, and empires
are governed to guard from the slight
est stain OF possible ihtirmity that frail
and yet spoless creature, whose moral,
no less than physical being, must be de
rived from her; to inspire those princi-
pies, to inculcate those doctrines, to ami
mate those sentiments, which generations
yet unborn, and nations yet uncivilized,
shall learn to bless to soften frmness into
mercy, to chasten honor into virtue by
her soothing cares to allay the anguish OF
the mind by her tenderness to disarm
passion by her purity to triumph over
sense to cheer the scholar laboring un-
der his toll, and TO console those who
have been paying too high prices for
Goods, and compensate them by send
ing them TO HELLMAN, where they can
buy Dry Goods. Clothing. Boots and
Shoes, Hats, Caps, Groceries, DC, at the
lowest possible prices.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are now
generally conceded to be unequalled fol
their prompt action in allcviating and
curing all diseases of the stomach. Their
superior excellence and consequent re.
nown is readily accounted for, from the
well known fact that they are made un.
der the personal supervision of the pro-
prietor, in strict accordance with phar-
maceutic science. It's use is always at
tended with the most beneficial results,
and in cases Of Nervous Debility. Con-
stipalion, Flatlulence, and other like d.
seases, caused by disordered stomach,
its curative powers are of the most
speedy and powerful character, and ex-
ceeds any other preparation of the same
claims before the public.

BALSAN.
Unrivalled in the History Of Medicine.


INHlS BALSAM, that has been so extensive
4 " sold and met with such unrivallcd sue
cess for the past five years. and brought health
and happiness to many families throughout the
Western country, is the result of years of study
and experiment, by the proprietors of this " oS-
DERFUL COMPOUND and We are happy to state
to the world that the object sought for has been
gained, which is found in the numerous eviden-
ces in favor of this remedy. This Balsam is
only recommended for one class of diseases
viz: those produced by malaria, and enters d.
reetly into the circulation, and thereby counter
acts the poison of malaria in the system and
as tonic it is particularly recommended.

ES- Owing to conflict in the an
nouncements Of Esquire CHAMBERS
Lecture, Whereby but a limited audience
was assembled on last Saturday night, it
was deemed best, by several members of
the Association, that the Lecture should
be postponed until the coming Saturday
evening. Judge TABOR, in announcing
the postponement, said that he had had
an opportunity to examine Mr. CHAND-
LEI lecture, and, although he was far
from subscribing to all its positions, he
yet thought it a good lecture, calculated
to do good, and worthy the attendance of
large audience, which he hoped would
attend to listen to it on Saturday evening
next.
The Judge also stated that he desired
to say word as to the objects of this
course of lectures. Some had conceived
the impression that it was started from
feeling OF antayonism towards the Lyce-
um. This is not So Not member of
the Association, he believed, had other
than the most friendly feelings towards
the Lyceum. They were mostly mem
bers of that Society, and paid their mon
'ey, and used their influence, for its sup
port. The regulations of the Lyceum,
however, preclude lectures before that
institution oftener than every alternate
week, and as, in view of this, it was
thought that opportunity would not offer
for all to lecture who might desire to do
so, it was deemed best to have a week
ly course, such as is now proposed. An
other reason was, that the well known
views of some of our citizens, whom
many would be glad to listen to, would
probably prevent them from receiving an
invitation from the Lyceum TO lecture
upon such subjects as they would prefer,
and therefore an independent course,
such as this, in which the lecturer can
freely express his views upon any and
all subjects, being alone responsible for
the sentiments promulged, it was thought
would prove popular. The Judge then
strongly urged the right of investigation.
and the duty of seeking after the truth
Unwilling that those who had assem-
bled should go away unentertained, he
read a story, written by himself some
twenty years ago, and published at that
time. We have but poor appreciation
OF love stories in general, and certainly
think them bat poorly adapted for public
reading. However, this, like everything
else from the Judges pen, bore the stamp
Of ability. The incidents were histori-
cal. giving an insight into the character
of Frederick William, of Prussia, father
Of Frederick the Great they were well
wrought up, and the portraiture of the
characters were faithful and life like.

Coloring fluids for the hair are dangerous.
Woods Hair Tonic restores the color. not by
the nitrate of silver process, but by a restora
ton of the healthy functions upon which the
original and natural color of the hair and its
moisture, its gloss, its life, and consequently its
original beauty depended. Professor Wood, at
the age of thirty seven years, was as gray as
man Of eighty, and his hair was dry, THU
and dead. Now he has not single gray loc k
upon his crown, nor is his hair thin or dry, but
soft, pliable and moist as that of child of five
years. This preparation acts upon the roots
for after an application, that portion of the hair
nearest the scalp, is found restored to the orr gi
nal color, whateverit was, while the ends of the
hair are gray. Try Woods Hair Tonic, and do
not apply any other till after you have this

take them the stronger you grow. They are
founded upon the principle that the human body
is subject to but one disease, namely corrupt
hnmors. These Pills not only cleanse the bow
