 Boston, Aug. 26, 1867. 2l-lH EB IoUNG LADY returning to her country home, after soujourn of few months in the City, was hardly recognized by her friends. in place of course, rustic flushed face she had soft ruby complexion ofalmost marble smooth ness, and instead of twenty-three she really ap- peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great change, she plainly told them that she used Circassian Balm, and considered it an invaluable acquisition to any Lady toilet. By it's use any Lady or Gentle man can improve their personal appearance all hundred fold. It is simple in It's com bination, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsurpassed in it's efficacy in drawing impurities from, also healing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexion. By its direct action on the cuticule it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing the same, and leaving the sur face as Nature intended it should be- clear, soft smooth and beautiful.

 The plan of the Washington Library Company of Philadelphia, for the endow- ment of the Riverside Institute for Sol diers and Sailors Orphans is one that has been laid out in strict accordance with the terms of the charter as granted for this purpose by the Legislature of Pennsylva- mia. This charter of the Washington Lii brary Co.,, legalizes the very acts that it's members are now performing for this noble object. The plan as most of our readers are aware, consists in selling stock at $l per share, each share or shares being ac- companied by handsome fine steel plate engraving, worth fifty per cent. more than is actually paid for the stock. Besides this every share of stock secures one present in the great distribution of presents to share holders, of these presents tho aggregate value is $500, ,000, one of them being worth the enormous sum of $40, ,O0O another $2O- GOO, another SlO, 900, and one worth $5, ,OOO and two worth $2, 800 each. several worth $1 ,O0O each, and so on. This is simply the plan in brief as adopted and present in the great distribution, besides the beautiful engraving at the time of purchase, and each one has an equal chance of getting a small fortune.

THERE are many people in the world who
make it practice to sponge for the reading OF
newspapers without any expense to them
selves. This has often been noticed and COM
mented upon They are not confined to any
particular locality, but are found wherever the
newspaper goes An exchange lhioks that
there are more ofthis class there than elsewhere;
but we have kuown men Of means to hang
around a store where the proprietor takes
paper, for the mere purpose of reading the
paper, and getting the news without its costing
them anything There are scores Of families
whose parental heads spend enough in bad rum
and tobacco weekly to pay for dozen news
papers, and still persist in sponging what little
information they get of what is going on in the
world from their neighbor. Any man who can
afford to indulge in rum, beer, cider, or tobacco
can abundantly afford to subscribe and pay for
a newspaper for the benefit OF himself and
his family, and he is an enemy to their best
interests who fails so to do continuously
