MR. BEEoHER's NovEL.-It IS too soon vet to see how MT. Beecher is to succeed as a novelist. But if his story fails, as most predict, as piece of dramatic art, it will have great merit and attraction in its incl dental beauties of character drawing and description. Here are two little gems from the last chapters: aaH
 What if one had the power to recall from this cold and passionless looking glass all that it had ever seen? What if there should be 8 resurrection of that which has been buried in looking glasses? Little children's faces, anxious mothers, budding girls be- ginlng to suspect their own beauty, vain and glggGng looks, grave and sad looks of those who hate to grow old, vexed looks of those who have cut themselves in shaving, timid and anxious looks of those who have been sick, double images and anxious lovers glancing upon the sweet picture of their embrace, prim and prig pedants touching up their grey whiskers and covering their badness with few stray locks yet left, simple and wondering looks of curly and WooUy Phillis, whose honest, homely face is just as dear to her as if it were Cleopa- tra's
 Every house has an expression. Every room has disposition, Some houses are precisionists. They are pinched and crimp- ed, and you almost see Q starched ruffle and white apron on them. Others are gen. erous and hospitable Every time you look at them they seem to say: ''Why don't you come in? 1 am waiting for you" Some dwellings are stately and dignifed, and some are cosy and jolly. Every day I see houses that cannot repress their scorn at beggarly houses in their neighborhood. The door has an excluding air. The win dows are supecillious, and the very cornice has 8 curl of we'll bred contempt But il Is in the interior of men and houses, thai the real disposition must be found The moment you enter some dwellings, youl heart cries out spontaneously, 'Peace be within thy walls" There is charm upon the threshold, joy in every room. Not { minute of the day do the apartments cease to breathe upon your ears, you are wei come! But, shiver as do, when you ente1 as do, this selfshness in brick and nor tar!

The delegates to the 158th general asso- citation of Congregational ministers in Conn. began to assemble at New Milford on Monday, June 18th, for the meeting which commenced on Tuesday, at II A. M. The directors of the Connecticut home mission : ary society, (the general association con- stitutes the society," met in the morning in the parlors of the New England hotel, and adopted report, which was read by their secretary, the Rev. William H. Moore, of Berlin, as their report to the general asso- citation for the year 1866. From this it ap- peared that there had been received into the treasury of the society for the year, $2l ,396.68; that l1,O966S of this had been paid in aiding thirty-two feeble churches in this State, and that $lO, 300 had been sent to the American home mis- sionary society at New York. In addition to this, the churches had sent $22, ,5S9. II to the society at New York directly, making $43, ,98579 in all paid to the home mis- sionary work by the churches in 1866. The report also showed the number of Congre- gational churches in the State at present to be 2o8; 222 consociated, 65 not conso- clated, and the number of members to be, males 15, 254, females 31, ,51O; total AS, O63; absent 4, ,5GI; additions for the year:-By PtoAoooAoA o,~oA, by 1oGCeI l,AoI, GOCdl, t, 658; removals By deatll 86O, by letter 1899, by discipline 153; total, 2,4i2. Bap- tisms Adults 1899, infants 816; Sabbath school attendants, 4l,7O7; families 27,S5S; mission schools, 72; charities, $226, ASA, averaging $4:84 to each member. The trustees of the fund for disabled ministers, and widows and orphans of poor minis ters, (the same as the directors of the home missionary society," also met in the same place, and from the report of the secretary 1t appeared that, although this is only the fourth year of the existence of this fund, the churches are very generally beginning to contribute to it. The more common plan is to give the collections of one com munion season to the object every year. The amount received in 1866 was s, 14S. 6S.

very confidently and earnestly recommend Dr. J. w. Poland's Humor Doctor as an excel lentremedy for Humors, having been won derfully benefited by it myself. My own case was very severe and obstinate one, For more than two years the skin upon the inside of both my hands, and even down on the wrist, was constantly cracked and broken up, so that was unable to use my hands in any kind of wet work, and was obliged to wear gloves in sewing to avoid getting blood pom my work. The humor which so afflicted me was probably com bination of Erysipelas and Salt Rheum. My general health was quite poor. Soon after 1 began to use the Humor Doctor 1 could perceive signs of healing. continued to take the medicine till was f. nally cured. My hands are now perfectly free from humors, and to all appearances my whole system is free from it. and has been for several months. 1 used eight bottles before felt safe to give it entirely up, but they cured me.

A man was taken out of his dying bed in London, few days ago, and carried to prison, for debt of e34. He barely lived to get there. The coroner's jury rendered the following elegant verdict: "Death from congestion of the lungs, from natural caus ees; and the jury declare it was painful tc hear such case, and that their feelings were excited at the manner in which the deceased had been removed"

It is very easy to say Of tbis or any other Medicine, "l It is the best Remedy ever known It is not always so easy to prove it. It is, however, exceedingly gratifying to the proprietor Of this Medicine, that, while he de- clares to the public that this is most won derfuI and etfeciveSpeciGc for Humors, as sta ted above. he has abundant proof at hand to sustain his statement.
 For sixteen years the HUMoR DOCTOR has been manufactured and sold, and every year has increased the value of it's leput taton, and the amount of it's sales In New Hampshire, where it originated no remedy for Humors is so highly prized. An eminent physician (now an army surgeon.) when practising in N. H purchased between fifty and sixty gallons of it, during some seven or eight years, and used it in his practice. He has since then ordered it for the Hospital where be stationed. Other physicians have purchased it, and have used it in practice with great success. When the proprietor lived in New Hampshire, at Goffstown Centre, for the space of thirty or forty miles around and in Manchester partic- ulalIy, the Humor Doctor was well known and highly valued for the numerous and wonderful cures which it effected Though manufactuled ed in large quantities, the supply was frequently exhausted and purchasers had to wait for more to be made. In that region. some very severe cases of srysipelos were treated with it
  cIes. those ugly, painful ulcers, were entirely removed, wherever this medicine was faithful y used. So it was with Scrotula and Soll Rheum. The Humor Doctor cured them.
 Since the Proprietors removal to Melrose. Mass, his present residence, he has been regu- larly selling it to patients who have applied to him in person, and has been very successful in relieving and curing them. One case ot Eryslpelas--of an old man 72 ycars--is worth mentioning in particular. When he came to the Doctors office he could only wear d pair of old rubber overshoes his feet and ankles were so swollen and sore. When he pulled off his socks the scats came with them, and the raw bleeding feet were frightul to behold. Suffice it to say, that less than one dozen bottles of the Humor Doctor (ani in few weeks) healed up those feet and ankles, so that they were smooth and apparently sound. The man wore boots without inconvenience. Numerous cases of pimples in ths fuce have been treated wi tn this medicine. to the entire eradication of tEern. In Melrose alone. there are more than hundred persons who have used the Humor Doctor, and give it an excellent name. In all the towns around it is well known and ap- proved.
 For the sake of showing what is thought of it, a few testimonials are here inserted

 Dr. Poland-I received your letter inquir ing as to the effects of your medicine on sea. sickness. am happy to say that think it is ' the medicine" for that dreadful sickness. I tried various prescriptions, but found none that settled the stomach and cleared the head like the Humor Doctor. I felt as though I could hardly wait to get ashore. to entreat you to introduce it into the ship chandery stores. that it may find it's way to those who suffer upon the mighty deep from sea-sickness. If captains who take their families with them or carry passengers, should try it for once, they would meyer be willing to voyage with out it,
 have used it in my family since its intro duction to the public; for bilious habits, headache, and humors about my children, and have always found it sure cure.
 am not fond of having my name appear in public, and would not consent to it on any ac- count but to relieve the suffering but, if the foregoing will be of any service to you or the public, you can make use of it.

I hereby certify that was sorely afflicted with boils for two years, developing them selves upon my limbs and other parts of my body. The suferings which I endured from them are ndescribabe. Suffice it to say that faithfully tried several of the most popular humor remedies, but without removing the affliction. At length, by the earnest request of an intimate friend, was induced to try Dr. J. w.

 REPARATOR CAPILLI.
 For restoring hair upon bald heads (from whatever cause it may have fallen outj and forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. It will force the beard te grow up- on the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two 10 three months. A few ignorant practitioners have asserted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false, as thousands of liv- ing witnesses (from their own experienced can bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you al- ready may have thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To such we would say, try the Reparator Capilli; it will cost you nothing unless it fully comes up to our representations. If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, to- gether with a receipt for the money, which will be returned you on application, providing entire satisfaction is not given.
