DAY OF REST.-Many weary and ach-
ing frame, exhausted by the constant strain
of the weeks tolls and cares, welcomes the
Day of Rest. Wisely ordained for physi-
cal restoration and religious culture, it
strengthens both the bodily and religious
faculties, refurnishing them for the battle
of life. TO be enjoyed and made efficient
in the purposes for which it was created,
the mind as well as the body, must be free
from labor. No lingering among the crowd
ing and distracting pursuits of the week
day will answer the healing designs of
Providence in its appointment. The Heb
rev who of old brought his blemished Of
fering to the alter, found no acceptance and
met with rebuke instead of blessing
And so the Day of Rest must be set apart
freed from corroding cares, with a mind
and heart open to the Influences which
were designed of Heaven to make humanity
better and happier. Sad necessity under
affection may interpose, at times, to hinder
the endowment of this blessing, but from
beneath the load there may be looking
through faith for the final triumph over all
ills. in the Rest that rema;netl: at the end
oflife's conflict.

BIEs-Babies are Of two kinds male
and female and are put up in packages of
one, though sometimes two, in which case
they are called twins. They are to be found
in all localities, and are plentfully distribu-
ted throughout all. .inhabtable countries,
the world over. Their ages are various
and take wide range; we have seen them
quite young, and then again we have seen
them where they had attained the age of
twenty years, with a fair prospect of adj
vancing still farther to babyhood. There
is this difference between babies and boo
bies; the former are of both sexes, while
the latter are to be found exclusively
among males from ten to thirty years of
age. Boobies are plenty this year, as well
as babies.

Concerning the dangerous skill of this
miscreant,a letter to the New York World,
from Washington, says: "Booth YVES one of
the best pistol shots in the country, prae-
ticed athlete and young man of remark
able nerve In every emergency. Only q
few days before his arrival in this city, he
had made splendid throwing shot in .Bos-
ton, firing between his legs and hitting the
target SO exactly in the center that, I am
told, the proprietOrs of the gallery preserv-
ed it as a memento. While conversing in
a Cincinnati bsr-room, few months ago,
with colonel of artillery, Booth was
challenged by the latter TO hit his his hand
at fifty PAGES, the colonel placing hand
against the door. Drawing q Derringer
and pacing the prescribed distance, the
young actor turned and fred at sight
putting his ball through the door between
the second and third fingers of the colo

DIR. q. B. LIGHTHILLS first visit to
Ohio was induced by numerous spplics-
tions for treatment from parties unable TO
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can net be successfully trested except after
q personal examination. His practice has
been 60 successful thst he has repeated his
visits TO Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his services, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quests of many citizens, he has consented
before returning TO Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters, so that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years DR.. Lighthill
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment of deafness and catarrh in its vsri-
GUS forms. He has prscticed in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where,
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. EB. Lighthil, and, to-
gether, they have acquired standing
which has earned for the HLighthill In
stitute " its present great reputation.
