How is this to be done? Common sense
suggests, by the use of invigorating medi-

The great object is to strengthen.the

This object is accomplished by the Judi

STAUNTON LYCEUM.

In the Lyceum on Monday night, the 22nd in
stant the semi-annual election of officers took
place with the following result:
Col. Bolivar Christian was reelected Presi-
dent; Col. James FL. Skinner was elected Vice
President; Robert NJ. Guy, Esq., Secretary, and
Leonidas Points, Esq, Treasurer. All of these
officers were unanimously elected
After the election, Prof. j. h Hewitt delivered
to crowded house his lecture, the subject of
which was Hints to the Ladies'"
The lecture was in the highest degree satirical
and humorous, and was greatly enjoyed by the
audience, especially by the ladies, who constitu-
ted considerable proportion, if not a majority
of the auditors. The lecture was as full of hints
as an egg is of meat, which were presented in the
Disgusting garb of irony; but the 'optics KEEN
of the ladies present did not fail to see them in
their true characters, and to appreciate their just
merits 1t is not often that the ladies have the
fortune to be addressed in such plain, frank and
candid terms Young single men usually ad-
dress them in honeyed and candied phrases, but
the lecturer, being married man with the frosts
of many winters on his locks, could afford to ven
ture to address them in honest and candid terms.
Though his remarks were more candid than can
died, we have no doubt but that the ladies will
preserve them and keep them for use in family
lars =
