Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-10-18

FVCKET TICkED-A WTS. OtIrISman, OF
London. had her pocket picked at the de-
pot yesterday. on the arrival of the Cincin-
natl train. Her pocket-book contained
some $50. This job was undoubtedly per-
formed bv the same thieves who operated
in Trinity Church on Wednesday night
With Officer Brooke's knowledge of all the
operators in this line in the country, we
did not suppose they could operate in the
depot successfully.

Abou, Love and yIatrimouy.

Never be afraid of becoming an old
maid, fair reader. An old maid is far
more honorable than q heartless wife,
and ''single blessedness" is greatly SUI
perior in point of happiness to welded
life without love. Fall not in love,
dear girls-beware," says the soug. But
don't be guided by the song on this
question. On the contrary, be assured
that it is a good thing to fall in love, if
the loved object he worthy one. To
fall in love with al honorable man is
Us proper as it is for an honorable man
to fall in love with virtuous and amia-
bio woman; and what could be a
more gratifying spectacle than a
sight so pure, so approaching in its
devotion to the celestiali No, fall in
love as soon as You like, provided that
it be with suitable person. Fall in
love and then marry; but never marry
unless You do love, That's the great
point. Never marry for ''house" or
a husband Never degrade yourself
by becoming party to such an alli-
ance. Never sell yourself body and soul,
on terms so contemplate. Love digni-
fies all things; it enables all conditions.
With love, the marriage rite is truly a
sacrament. Without it, the ceremony
is base fraud, and the act is human
dissertation. Marry for love, or not at
all. BE an "old maid" if fortune
throws not in your way the man of
your heart; and, though the witless may
sheer, and jester may laugh. you still
have your reward in an approving con-
science and q comparatively peaceful
life. 80 tfG

Consumption Durable by DIR.
Schenck'S Medicines.

TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system
must be prepared, so that the lungs will heal.
To accomplish this, the liver and Stomach must
first be cleansed and an appetite created for
good, wholesome food, which, by these medi-
cines, viii be digested properly, and good, heal

ton SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
cleanse the stomach of all bilious or mucous &C
foundations, and. by using the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection. the appetite is restored.
SCHENCES PULM0NIC SYRUP is nutri.
cious as well as medicinal, and, by using the
three remedies, all impurities are expelled from
the system and good, wholesome blood made,
which will repel all disease. II patients will
take these medicines according to directions
Consumption, very frequently in its last stage,
yields readily to their action. Take the Pills fre
quently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. II
does not follow that because the bowels are not
costive they are not required, for sometimes in
diarrhoea they are necessary. The stomach
must be kept healthy, and an appetite created to
allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act On the respi.

Then al that Is required to perform pcrma-

The Truth about Dyspepsia.

Whoever says that dyspepsia is incurable,
tells a.that is to say, makes al egregious mis-
take. More than ten thousand aggravated cases
have been cured by HOSTETTERs STOMACH
BITTERS, while the number that have been
prevented from coming to head, by the same
means, is incalculable. In Winter and early
Spring, when the appetite is sometimes too Wig.
orous tor the comfort and safety Of the stomach,
Indigestion is most prevalent and most distress.
ing. Is the appetite to be baked to accommo-
date the digestive organs Not So for then the
rame would lack its due proportion Of nutriment.
The thing to be done is to STRENGTHEN THE sToM-
AcII, tone the liver, and put the bowels in per-
feet order Nothing will do this so efiectually, as
rapidly, so quietly, so pleasantly, as HOSTEL.

The Skafin e Park.

The skating park is crowded nightly
with the beauty and fashion of the city,
who. steel shod, scud merrily over the
crystal ice. The eXhilarating sport has
become all the rage. Everybody seems
TO have caught the skating mania and
the absorbing theme of conversation is
skating and how to do it. We hear
gentlemen, whose heads have been sill
vered DER and limbs rendered less sup
pie by the frost of time, and ladies, who
(heaven bless them, they never grow
old) have grown-up sons and daughters,
discussing the merits of "sleigh-run-
ners," rockers" ''high DUTCH slow
DUTCH ''iront circles ''squariug the
yard" &c. We saw number of them
the other night, vainly attempting to
initiate the gyratious of their younger
companions on the treacherous ice. One
gentleman, six footer, with tall,
shining plug hat, particularly attracted
our attention. He had buckled oil
pair of skates, and relying upon the
knowledge of the art he'had gained in
years gone by, had ventured upon the
ice. and was endeavering to pursuade n
bevy of timid girls to venture upon
holder efforts. ats so easy" said our
tall friend. "All you have to do is to
strike out and suiting the action to
the word he struck out, and made ten
strike. Tho words had scarcely left his
lips, when his feet started in opposite
directions, his arms beat the air wildly
for n seconds, and down he went, trip
ping one of the fair damsels who, to
save herself, grabbed the dress of one of
her companions, involving the whole
party in the fall, and down they went,
forming laughing, screaming pyra-
mid, from which heads, arms, i,
ankles, filters, etc, protruded in reck-
less profusion. Our six-footer cHtri-
Gated himself at last, and limped to
terra iirma, amid shouts of merriment
from the bystanders, vowing that some
mischievous person had creased his
skates.

Cr.ne Upen the Door.

One night, few months ago, we
passed palatial mansion on one Of our
fashionable streets, where the favored
of fortune have their dwelling places.
Hall and parlors were brilliantly illu-
minated {; soft strains of music issued
forth and turned the air about us to
harmony sylph- like forms whirled by
in the measures of the gay dance, and
every heart beat high with happiness,
every eye beamed gladness, and every
lip was wreathed with joyous smiles.
Twas o gala night. 1t was the ami
yersary of the birth of one who was the
pride of the household, the apple of her
parents fond hearts, and very jewel
on the brow of society. How many
one, as be lifted the glass of sparkling
wine to his lips to pledge the health OF
the fair heiress, exclaimed in his heart:
fill this cup to one made up Of loneliness alone,
A woman, Of her gentle sex the seeming para
gon
To whom the better elements and kindly stars
have given .
A form so fair, that, like the air, It's less OF
earth than heaven.
Her every tone is musics own, like those OF
morning birds,
And something more than melody dwells ever in
her words;
As one may see the burthened bee forth issue
from the rose
Affections are as thoughts to her, the measures
Of her hours
Her feelings have the fragrancy, the freshness
Of the flowers;
And lovely passions, changing oft, SO I'LL her.
The image of themselves by turns,-,he idol of
past years.
OF her bright face one glance viii trace picture
And of her voice in echoing hearts a sound
must long remain;
But memory such as mine of her SO very much
endearS,
When death is nigh my latest sigh Will not be
LIES but hers.
A few evenings since We passed the
same mansion, but how changed the
scene. Instead of brilliantly illumi-
mated rooms, the windows were closed,
and upon the door hung that saddest Of
all sympols of woe-black crape-a
message to the outside world that
life had gone out within those walls;
that death had there found harvest
field, and there had reaped. Upon in
quiry we learned that it was the fair
young girl whose natal night had been
celebrated, so short while before, with
feasting and music and dancing.
The light of her Young life went down,
AS sinks behind the hill
The glory ola setting star
Clear, suddenly, and still.
As pure and sweet, her fair brow seemed
Eternal as the sky;
And like the brooks low sound her voice
A sound which could not die.
And half they deemed she needed not
The changing OF her sphere,
To give TO Heaven q Shining One,
Who walked an angel here.
There seemed shadow or the day,
Her smile no Longer cheers
4 dimness on the stars of night
Like eyes that look through tears.
