BYRNES'
IMPROVED CONCRETE PAVEMENT,
LAID BY
PAGE & CO.,
50 Camp street, New Orleans.

The following few of the reasons why this
CONCRETE should be used in preference 10 all
other materials:
1t has been tested through one of the hottest of
New Orleans summers and found not to soften by
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general use at the North, it necessa-
ry must be proof against cold.
3. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen-
sve.
4. 1t is perfectly impervious to water, and conse
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
S. 1t makes no dust in dry OF mud in wet wea
Their.
6. 1t does not creak or crumble nor is it washed
by the rain.
:. 1t is impenetrable to grass weeds or water.
8. 1t prevents noxiOus vapors gases arising
from the ground beneath, and affords no reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompostions.
9. 1t is laid down quickly, and ready for use
when finished.
TO- 1t is easily taken up, easily reaid, and easily
repaired when necessary.
Some of the places where this work has been
done, and few of the parties who have had it put
down, may be known by the following references
and most of the persons named can and will cheer
fully give all of the information desired. An ex-
animation of the work is solicited:

BEHAVIOR In cHuacH


Mr.. Beecher Is making a very lively pa-
per Of the Caristiaii Unloa. Here is par
agraph on behavior 10 church, which has
secular application:
We may classify the petty ineiyiliiies Of
church life thus
1. SNELLs. Violent perfumes, especial
ly those containing musk. are disagreeable
to most persons, and to some positively dis
tressiug. There is 90 smeIl % universally
pleasing As no s1,sH Never scent yourself
shen going into crowded assembly. The
same is tue of the residuary smell Of iobac-
CO which hangs about the garments and ar
iic,s tue breath oi those who habitually
smoke Bot tobacco alr3st invariably
makes men self-indulgent and regardless Of
Others convenience. More brutal yet are
they who go to church reeking, ike
Dutchman soup, with the smell Of onions.
There are seores Of people who have lost ell
profit Of Sunday service by the sickening
smells which surround tliero.
,. SOUNDS. Whispering in church dur
ing the service is au afFrout to politeness.
Much Of the coughing which goes on in
church arises from the poisonous gases and
personal effiugia which exist 10 unventilated
churches. But the power Of the Hill over the

Many churches have the Ten Command
meats set up upon the wall, in sight Of the

sins which men are prone to commit in

An oRIENTAL NIGHT.

1t Is impossible for those who have never
visited the glowing East to form an ade-
quate idea Of the exceeding beauty of an
Oriental night The sky shich bends
enamored over clusters of graceful palm
trees fringing some slow moving stream, or
groves Of dark moiionless expresses rising
up like Gothic spires from the midst Of
white, fat-roofed villsges-sis Of the deepest
darkest purple, unstsi0ed BY the faintest
ilm of vapor undimmed by single feecy
cloud. II is the very image Of purity and
peace, idealizing the dull earth with its
beauty, elevating sense into the sphere Of
soul, and suggesting thoughts aud yearnings
too tender.an1 ethereal to be Invested with
human language Through its transparent
depths the eye wanders dreamily upward
until it loses itself on the threshold of other
worlds. Over the dark mountain ranges
the lonely moon walks 10 brightness cloth
ing the landscape with the pale glories of a
minnie day; while the zodiacal light far more
distinct and vivid than it is ever seen in thi
country, diffuses mild pyranidal radiance
above the horizon, like the aftergow of
sunset Consultations. tremulous with ex-
cess of brightness, sparkle in the heavens,
associated with classical myths and legends
which are a mental inheritance to every
educated man from his earliest years
There the ship Argo sails over the trackless
upper ocean in search of the golden fleece
| Of Colchis; there Perscus, returning from
the conquest Of the Gorgons, holds in his
hand the terrible head Of Meiusa; there the
virgin Andromeda, chained naked to the
rock, awaits in agony the approach of the
! devouring monster; there the luxuriant
yellow hair of Bercuiee hangs suspended as
votive offering TO Venus; while the dim,
misty track formed By the milk that drop
ped from Juno's breast, and which as it fell
upon the earth, changed the lilies from pur-
pie to a snowy whiteness, extends across the
heavens. like the ghost of a rainbow. Con-
spicious among them all far up toward the
/ zenith, old Orion, With his blazing belt,
meets the aduiriDg eye, suggestive Of gentle
memories and kind thoughts of home; while
| Immediately beyond it is seen the familiar
cluster Of the Pleiades, or Seven Stars, gilt

HOW TO BE HANDSOME.

Most people like TO be handsome. No
body denies the great power any person may
have who has a good face, and who attracts
you by good looks, even before word has
been spoken. And W. see all sorts Of de-
vices in men and women to improve their
good looks-paints and washes. and all kinds
Of cosmetics, including a plentiful anoint-
ing with dirty hair oil
Now, not every one can have good feat
ures. They arc as God made them but
almost any one can look well. especially
with good health. 1t is hard to give rules
in very short space. but in brief these win
DO.
Keep clean-wasb freely aud universally
with cold water. an the skin wants is
leave 70 act freely, and it viii lake care Of
itself It's thousands of air holes must not
be plugged up.
Eat regularly and simply The stomach
can DO more work all the time, night and
day, than horse; it must have regular
work and regular rest.
Good teeth are a help to good looks
Brush them with soft brush, especially at
night Go tc bed with the teeth clean. Of
course, to have white teeth, it is needful to
let tobacco alone. Any powder or wash for
the teeth should be very simple Acid
may whiten the teeth, but they take off the
enamel or iujure it.
Sleep 10 4 cool room. N pure air. No one
can have a clean skin who hreathes bad air.
But more than all, in order to look we'll
wake up the mind and soul.
When the mind is awake. the duh, sleepy
look passes away from the eyes, l do not
know that the brain expands, but it seem;
so. Think, read-not trashy novels, out
books that have something in them. Talk
Eith people who know something hear
lectures and learn BY them.
This is one of the effects of good preach
ing. A man thinks and works, and tells US
the result. And if We listen, and hear, and
understand, the mind and soul are worked.
If the spiritual nature is aroused, so much
the better. We have seen g plain face real
Is glorifed by the love of God and man
which shoue through it Let us grow hand
some. Men say they can't afford books,
and sometimes they don't even pay for their
newspaper. In that case, it does them little
good-they must feel so mean while reading
it. But men can afford what they really
choose. If all the money spent in selt-in
diligence, in burtful indulgence, we're spent
in books, and self-improyement, we could
see a change Men would grow handsome,
aud women, too. The soul would shine out
through the eyes We were not meant tC
te mere animals Let Us have books. anc
read them, and sermons, and heed them. =
