10 A Young Lady returning to her
country home, after assojonrn of a few
months in the City, was hardly recognised
by her friends. In place OF a course, rus
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby COM
plesion Of almost marble sinocthness; and
instead Of twenty-three she really appeared
but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the
cause of so great change, she plainly told
them that she used the Circassian Balm,
and considered it an Invaluable acquisition
to any Lady's toilet. By its use any Lady
or Gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple
in its combination, as Nature herself is
simple, yet unsurpassed in its efficacy in
drawing impurities from, also healing,

WEBSTER ON MILITARY REpuBLrcs-
The following is an extract frcm Webster's
Grafton on the completion of the Bunker
Hill Monument, June II, 1913:
A military republic, a government foun-
ded on mock elections and supported only
by the sword, is movement indeed, but i;
retrogade and disastrous movement from
the regular and oid'fashioned monarchcal
systems If men would enjoy the blessings
of republican government, they must
govern themselves by reason, by mutual
counsel and consultation, by sense of
feeling and general interest, and by the
acquiescenee of the minority in the will of
the majority properly expressed; and,
above all, the military must be kept, ac-
cording to the language of bill ofrights
in strict subordination to the civil author
ity.
Whenever this lesson is not both learned
and practised, there can be no political
freedom. Absurd, preposterous it is, a.
scof and satire upon free forms of consti-
tutional liberty, for forms Of government
to be prescribed by military leaders, and
the right OF suffrage to be exercised at the
point OF the sword.-[ Works, VOL !, page

THE FoLLIEs OF FAsHIoN-THE DUTIES
OF AN ENGLISH LADY's MAID.-One Of
these not-to-be-envied persons, a race that
may be classed with that of governess, has
recently made disclosures throwing pecIl-
liar light upon the women of rank in "Old
England" "Aluch is required from us in
London" she writes. eve must, above
all, be very puictual, for fashionable ladies
change their dresses at least five times a
day during the season. We must have
polished manners, be no older than 35
years, and always be cheerful and good
tempered, although for weeks we are kept
without sleep until four o'clock in the
morning, q practice which is equally in
furious to eyes and lungs.
We are expected to cut and fit and use
the most improved machine, and to dress
hair for the morning, evening and court
costume, as we'll for the drive, to iron well,
read, write, cypher; to speak French and
German, and, if possible, to have travelled.
There is still another function of o lady's
maid, which is supposed to be of modern
introduction, bat which is in fact merely a
revival of an old custom. We mnst be
able to paint in pastel, not indeed after
nature, but upon her. To beautify Or
mistress we must redden the cheeks put
antimony on. the eyelids, pastel upon the
brows, introhice belladona into the eyes
In order to enlarge the pupils, paint blue
veins upon the temples, and use ninon paint
and pearl-white upon the rest of the
skin.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT IN REAL LIFE.--
While on professional visit to the guard
house last evening, we We're struck by the
bright, intelligent manner, and sweet voice
ofa little girl of some four summers, who
in earnest tones, was pleading with one Of
the sergeants to let her ma 60 home. We
turned to look for the ma. The poor
woman was intoxicated, and was seated
ap6n bench. AT the instant we looked
at her she attempted to rise, but fell
forward upon the floor powerless. She
was lifted up and replaced upon the bench,
and the sergeant remarked that if she at
tempted to rise again she must be locked
up, though he was unwilling on account Of
the child to resort to such harsh measures.
The little girl, who was now sitting by the
woman, heard him, and said pitfully to the
wretched inebriate,. ."there now, you hear
that" It looked as if the relative position
of child and woman had been reversed, and
the former was taking care of the latter.
1t was a scene to which Dickens alone
could DO justice Charleston Mercury.

concerning our position on the political for
rather military issues of the day. We ad-
vocate inaction only until the district com
mauder assumes control, promu!gates his
orders and call the convention. Then, and
not TIL then, we will regard it as the boun-
ded duty of every good man to act-to
work--and to vote. This Is our position,
clearly and unequiyocally defined, divested
