the desire for it being incorporated into
their very being they will naturally take
such as they can find. If there be none
but low places of amusement with
in their reach, they will very easily fall
into the current, and 60 with the multi
tude to places of evil resort Such OBJ
servation and experience, indicate to be
the general tendency. The persuasive
eloquence of ministers, the protestations
of fathers and the chidings of mothers,
may often impose wholesome restraint,
but all these appliances, can never change
the inherent love of the young for re-
creations pastimes and amusments The
current in this direction is irreversible,
and as general thing it admits of no
change. If the christian community
therefore, be in earnest to save the young
from surrounding evils, it requires not
only the medication of sound moral and
relig ious truth, but careful provision
for their felt social wants. Gould the
true history of every individual case be
reached, it would unquestionably reveal
the fact, that great numbers of young
men, have been ruinously led astray in
the pursuit of pleasure by evil associa-
tions, because no better avenue for the
qualification of their desires was afforded
them. For the want of elevatlng, cnnobllng
and at the same time attractive places of
resort, they became prey to the entice-
ments of wickedness and dissipation
ending in moral death And who is re-.
sponsible for this destruction of charao,
terg Have not the christian men and
women of the age duty to perform here
beyond that which is ordinarily regarded
to be their mission? p
We have heard and read much about
home amusements and attractions, as if
these alone were sufficient, to meet the
general want of the young. Home at
fractions cannot we'll be over estimated
but to depend on these alone, to meet all
the demands of the young will never
satisfy their reasonable ambition. To at
tempt to inaugurate a life of disintegra
ton, Independent of the social world
around, can never be successful, because
contrary to the normal condition of the
race. Even family isolation, is incongen-
ial to the highest enjoyment, and an I'M
natural attitude in society "Man is a
social being" is truthful saying, tested
by the experience of the ages.
Inasmuch then, as the love of society,
of recreation and amusement, is one of
the irreversible aspirations of our being,
and in perfect consistency with mans
moral nature, how important that christian
men and women, should provide for it's
wholesome and innocent qualification

DEATH OF Young PRINCE,-The
late foreign papers bring the news of the
death of the Prince Of Belgium
1.-THE scene at the death bed of the lit
tie Crown Prince of Belgium was heart
rending. The poor parents OF the dying
Prince knelt at his bed side, sobbing con
vulsively; the Count of Flanders and his
wife vainly tried to calm the royal couple
and even all she servants in the room
were in tears. When the physician said
he was dead, the mother uttered a pierre
ing cry and tainted away. Her swoor
lasted for over eight minutes and gave
rise to serious apprehensions. It is stated
that the king Of Belgium did not touch
any food during three days"

We see it stated that there arc now 1862
newspapers published in Wisconsin. This
speaks well for the enterprise and intelli-

pensated for the capital and labor en-
ploYed.

A few weeks since, the Oshkosh Times
Democratic paper, berated the leaders OF
the Democratic party-state and national,
as irresponsible, corrupt and Enthusiastically
charging the decentralization of the
whole party to their scheming manage,
ment. Now the Green Bay Adoocate an
other Democratic sheet, comes forward
and endorses the Oshkosh Times, for its
outspoken denunciatons of the Democratic
managers. The Adoocate says
"The ADVOCATE has for years denoun-
ced the folly Of entrusting the fortunes Of
the party TO loud-mouthed and long-wind
ed demagegues whose sole ambition has
been to see themselves heralded as leaders
and have noisily and persitently thrust
themselves forward into public notice, as
champions of Democracy.
* X
TThe conventions whether National or
State, have been controlled by an ire
sponsibIe body Of high pirates, who, by
sheer force of brass and noise, have brow
beaten and everrulcd the conservative.
majority, and pushed through violent and
revolutionary resolutions, which have
been held up, and which the party has
been forced to defend, as the principles of
the Democratic party. They never were
and are not now, but as long as such men
as we have described are allowed to stand
out as "leader," just so long, and no long
er, will we suffer continual defeat"
The declarations of Gen. Grant to the
Committee, sent to announce to him his
election, have received the commendstion
not only of the Republican press very
generally, but also the approval of many
public journals, that were unfriendly to
his election. He has shown himself to
possess one of the highest qualities of
oratory; that is, distinctness and clearness
of exprsssion-using the simplest OF words
to indicate the policy, by which theaffairs
of this great nation ar etc be governed.
He uses no lofty words, or sentences with
rounded periods; but addresses himself to
the plain understandings OF the people.
Economy, retrenchment, faithful collec-
ion of revenue, and payment of the pub
lie debt, are words most pleasant to tbs
good citizens of this Republic He will
call around him for his Cabinet advisers
tried men, who are fully committed t.
these reforms; men who are entitled tx
such position, because of their intrinsic
worth and not because an outside pres
sure is brought to bear upon their ap
monument. Gen. Grant will not be thu
President of the politicians but of the
neople. Not that he will ignore the par
tv that elected him, for that party is il
the true sense, the party of the people.

TANNING THE MINISTER'S WIFE.-We
have had occasion at times to pass around as
intelligence tid-bits of church meanness in
dealing with ministers, which were curiosi-
TIES IN their way; but the Christian Examin-
er has the start of us. 1t tells of a church in
thriving village, "who had singularly de-
voted and an excellent man for their pastor.
and to whom they gave a salary that was not
what he needed for the support OF his family.
de had little property of his own however;
and as it was the practice of the church to
raise the pastors salary by Assessment" they
actually assessed the pastors wife to the
amount OF thirty dollars, and the payment Of
it was enforced by deducting it from her
husbands salaryw If that minister ever
slips into secular calling we have no doubt

am not in the habit of taking advertised medi-
cnes, of certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation; bnt feel con-
strained to make an exception in favor OF DoDD's
NERvINE and Inyigorator, medicine have used
in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough tor
several weeks, and was much broken OF rest at
night tha-by excessive coughing and loss ofsleep-
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away. Various remedies palliatives were
recommended by intimate neighbours but nothing
tried until our attention was called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodds Nervie. This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the commissions
were hardest at night we began BY giving the Ner-
vine her going to bed The first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent, and very much less severe, she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vgor, and in a few days was as well as ever. What
was left of the whooping cough thereafter of
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervine and Invigorator invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. l may add that have
since recommended it to several family friends in
like circumstances, and have found it in every
to be equally successful 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.

that very many of the diseases of older and adult
years have their origin in the tear and strain OF

like many OF the weaknesses of women, consider
