woman ever looks SO we'll, to sensible man
as when dressed in a plain, neat, modest at

son. She looks then as though she possessed
worth in herself, and needed no artificial rig

TwJH i THOUSAND ACRES OF RosEs -
The rose fields Of Adrianople extend over
$4,000 acres and supply the most important
source of wealth in the district. The season
for picking the roses is from the latter part Of
April to the early part Of June; and at sun
rise the plains look like a garden full of life
and fragrance, with hundreds of Bulgarian
boys aud girls gathering the flowers into bask-
cts and sacks, the air i,nprcgnatcd with tie
delicious scent, and the scene enliyened by
soues, dancing and music 1t is estimated
that the rose districts of Adrnnople produced
in the season of 1866 about $1,000 drnchms
Of altar Of roses. The oil is extracted from
the petals by the ordinary process of distlla-

The New BAPTIST Church.

Weohope all our readers will give
attention to the appeal from the pas
tor of the First Baptist Church Of
this city, which will be found in to-
day issue. The building of new
church is a public enterprise, and one
which is entitled to the public atten-
ton. Every new church erected in this
city adds to its attractions, and is an
other. influence to draw to us increas-
ing population and wealth. In this
view, there is an obligation resting
upon every liberal and enterprising
citizen, to contribute his proper share
to these new church enterprises. But
it is more especially the case as in
this instance, where the congregation
is small, and where but few of the
members are possessed of wealth or
ability to contribute large sum TO
erect tastful and creditable build
ing. We know that the members of
the Church have made large sacrif-
ces in their Subscriptions and we be-
W
ylieve they will not appeal in vain to
the liberal and christian public of this
city to assist them tocomplete an ed
ifce which will be an ornament to
the city. Nothing is a better ex-
hibition of the hberality, intelli
gence and morality of the city than
fine churches; and the greater the
number of such monuments we rear
to the Most High God, the more en-
larged will be our material prosper
ity and the better our fair fame
abroad. We hope the generous pub
lie of Evansville will greet the solicit
tors of the First Baptist Church with
a liberal and willing contribution.
