Important Literary Notice,

The people of Gallipolis and vi
cinity are now very fortunate in be
ing able to procure, at a compare
lively small cost, one of the most
valuable works ever published. This
work is entitled, "An Illustrated
History of the Bible" Its merits
strongly impress themselves upon
every one converssnt with biblical
literature. The plan of the work is
excellent. Its value is greatly en-
hsnced by explanatory notes, the re-
suit of years of laborious study. The
author of this work, DIR. KIrro, was
eminently qualified for bringing be-
fore the world work of such mag.
nitude. He spent three years trav-
cling in the Oriental countries. and
acquired perfect knowledge of
their manners, traditions, and nat
ural history. To the diffusion of
genuine, historical, biblical knowl-
edge, he has contributed in an emf
nent degree. This work is the last
OF this renowned author, and gener-
ally acknowledged by first class
writers. 1t should be in every house
in the land, by the side of the Bible,
in order to more perfect and sim
pie explanation of the latter. AS a
Bible Expositor, it is of immense
value, hence the necessity that min
listers, Sabbath School Superintend.
ents, Teachers, and the general stu
dent of the Bible, should possess
this valuable work.
The agent has been in the place
but few days, yet he has secured
the names of many of our citizens.
Our clergymen, in whom we have
the most implicit confidence, hearth
ay endorse its claims to merit. We
hope our readers viii order q copy
rs readily as we have ourselves.

E The war news from Europe is
made up almost of rumors and
speculations. Correspondents are not
permitted to visit the armies, and hence
we know but little or nothing of their
movements. No fighting had taken
place up to Saturday noon.
Russia, Italy, Spain and Austria
have officially declared their neutrality
in the impending war. Their ability
to maintain such position is consid-
cred extremely doubtful.

Gems from my Memory String >

IT'S three O'Clock in the afternoon
the sun is scorching hot-the air is
close and sitting, and / am ready
equipped with hat and gloves and
armed with huge palm leaf fan and
few mellow apples, starting out for
walk. Thus stealing off from the
house l shall not make any excuse to
those two or three lazy guests that are
gaily gossiping over the news of the
week, but leave them to discuss the
latest styles of dress, and loll and yawn
and fight the gnats and flies, and
make as many claws" and go my's,"
and put in as many exclamations { j
and interrogations (?) as they wish, l
shall put a period to my part of the
conversation and dash & off in the
direction of that cool, shady valley
yonder. l am bored beyond my power
of endurance with their trivial chit
chat and I'm off now for the grove in
tending to have big time, with no
one to intrude on my solitude. Here
we are in the valley-the most delight
full place in the world. The grass and
clover forming green carpet under
foot, while lofty NAPLES and beeches
spread their wide branches overhead,
casting cool shades all around, and the
cunning brook yonder with its gravel
ly bottom and banks lined with flowers
and willows and moss-covered stones,
impresses us with the most romantic
ideas. I'll wander forth mid this en-
chanting scenery and send my thoughts
off il search of Gem for the journal"
l pause, and seat myself here on a
huge stone under this great, squatty
beech tree. There on the side of the
tree are the letters, A. F. T., with the
date on which picnic was held here
FIVE years ago. All! that picnic. l
remember what gay company of boys
and girls assembled here that day in
our best clothes and best looks, and
how we all rambled here and there,
broke jests, played games, and swung,
and with what a relish we ate the
dainties our baskets contained and
how it rained before we got home,
much to the detriment of our new hat
and white dress. But here about this
tree our memory fingers most, for on
this very stone on that day, there was
a reconciliation between two friends
{ lovers l might say) who had quar-
relied and had been very unhappy for
some time, but chance had thrown
them together on this occasion and an
accidental word led to an explanation
of the untimely quarrel, and they sat
here, confessed all, forgaye each other
and we're betrothed lovers again. Then
they vowed that they would never be
so hasty again, and that the world
should never separate them thereafter.
Then he cut those initials on the tree
with the day and date of the year, and
they rose and walked off homeward
side by side as in former times, and
the happy, earnest look of pure devo-
ton on their faces is sweet to remem
Der.
They married soon after, and still
cling to each other as fondly and wear
as happy look in their eyes as then.
May they never grow old, and may
this old tree with those initials never
bend with age nor be shaken by storms,
but stand erect with its leaves unwith-
cred through many generations as liv-
ing monument to a VOa0 that WdS not
broken. MAGGIE MILES.

A Word to the Timid,

Don't be afraid, venture on. Dare
to do right, perform your duty,
though it sit the whole venom
tongued legion busy with your name
Let them chatter on; who ever heard
of the croaking frog hindering the
nightengale's fight2 The pond
might be large, full, crowded in, and
running over with the repulsive,
greeneyed creatures. and yet his
flight will be as swift, his journey as
certain, and his notes of music as
sweet, as though he had met with no
opposing influence. Then reader
take courage, don't let US stop on
our march through life, and give
way to dispondency, inactivity and
gloom, simply because the envious
croakers say hard things of us. But
if our hearts are right, our motives
pure and our actions just, we should
move fearlessly on regardless of
what faultinders may say. From
my heart pity the man or woman
who is going through life, trying to
please everybody. Reader, you cannot,
you dare not do it. You would have
TO engage in evil in order to please
the evil; talk scandal to please the
slanderer, back bite your neighbor
to please his enemy, divulge your
own secrets and those in your keep
ing, to satisfy the curious, and so, on
and on. from one thing to another
you would be led, until you would
degenerate into such ''turn coated
mature Of all things" that the dwelers
in darkness would do we'll to ack-
nowledge you.
When 1 began life my head was
full of the false doctrine, taught in
the homely old adage of "better
have the good will even of dog than
the i'll will" and sorry time 1 had
in turning this, that way and the
other, in order to make friends of all
] met. But experience has taught
me a wiser course, and although the
Lessons have been bitter-at times
trying in the extreme, yet the knowl-
edge gained repays the suffering.
Then, dear reader, let me say again,
don't be afraid. If you hear an abb
sent friend unjustly accused, take
his part. Don't if you love mercy
and justice, compromise with the
enemy BY smiling at his baseness,
and go away feeling yourself cow
ard. l had rather cross swords with
a dozen gossiping i'll natured per-
sons, than listen, and sanction by
my silence tale that would do in
jury to my friend. / have enemies,
expect to have them, don't know
1 should get along without them.
They show me faults, and weaknesses
in my character which I would not
otherwise see, snd which my friends
might fail in pointing out. By
meding these I am greatly bene-
flied, and unintentionally my enemy
does me good, proves blessing in
disguise. Then, dear fearful, timer
GUS ones, why longer despair? Why
refuse to engage in the battles of
life-the work to which you are
called, fearing lest censure overtake
you? Let it come. 1t won't kill, if
i did our world, 1 imagine, would
soon be an uninhabited globe, save

sion due the amount of fee, if any,
and forward the same, less 30 cents,
as directed by the Commissioner"

see that full lists of delegates are
selected, and that they will repre-

those they represent. Although
there are but few county offices to
be elected the coming fall, yet they
are important. The fact that a

renders the coming election very
important one, and should influence
