BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

All women know that il is beauty, rather than
shipped in the sex. Can it be wondered AT, then,
that much Of woman's time and attention
should be directed to the means of devel oping
and preserving that beauty Women know, too,
| that when men speak of the intellect of women,
they speak critically, tameIy, coolly, but when
they come to speak of the charms of beautiful
woman, their language and their ewes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be pro
foundly If not, indeed, rldicously in earnest 1t
| Is part OF the natural sagacity of women to per
ceIve ali this and therefore employ every allow
able art to become the goddess of that alteration.
Preach to the contrary, as we may, against the
arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty, there still stonds the eternal fact, that
the world does not prefer the society of an ugly
woman of genius to that of beauty of less in
tei'ectual requirements. The world has ct al
lowed no higher mission to women than to be
| beautiful, and it would that the ladies of
tse persent age are carrying this idea of the
world to greater extremes than ever. for ali wo-
men now TO whom nature has denied talismanic
power OF beauty supply the deficiency by the use
of most beautiful toilet article, known as the
"Bloom of Youth" which has been lately intro
duced into this country by GEORGE ". LAIRD, q
tations, burrows, scars, removing tan, freckles,
and discolorations from the skin, leaving the
complexion clear, brilliant, and beautiful the
skin soft and smooth. With the assistance of
this new American trick of a Lady's toilet, female
beauty is destined to play larger par: in the
admiration of men and the ambition of women
than all the arts employed since her creation.
Prof. O. F. Chandler, Chemist to the Metropol-
tan Board of Health. has reoeu tly prepared q
chemical analysis of this delightful toilet prep
aration, and reported that the "Bloom of Youth"
was harmless, containing nothing injurious to
the health. Ladies need have no fear of using
this invaluable toilet a, quisition.

THE REV. MR. wIsNER, AN AGED MN
IsTBR FROM CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA,
REBUKEs JOHN B. HAWLEY.
At the Presbyterian Church in this City,
Sunday, Oct. ID, 1870.

Probably no man ever took q more cut
ting, scsthing and deserved rebuke from the
pulpit at the hands of an aged disciple Of
the meek and lowly One, whose locks nave
grown gray in the service OF his master ana
whose words are words of wisdom ssncthed
bv truth. than did John B. HawIey on Sun.
dav last, at the resbyterisn Church in this
city. The Rev. Mr.. Wisner, Of Cedar Rap
ids, filed the pulpit. In the course OF his
remsrks, probably unaware how his words
were going home to one in his congregation,
he administered the most scathing rebuke to
those church members who 80 far forget
their professions of faith as TO fawn and
cring, and stultify and deny their belief, all
for the sake of gaining the votes of infdels
and free thinkers. Those who sat where
they coulo see Hawley thus being held up
to public scoru, say, that when the aged
minister came to the denuncistion of church
mem bers who, for the sake Of votes, go aud
address the infidel Turner organization, that
be turned pale and acted as though he would
like to escape the burning words that were
being showered upon him from the old,
white haired minister in the pulpit. Poor
Hawley! The way of the office seeker is
hard, aud we have selected the following
hymn for him to commit, in memory of that
terrible ordeal:
He took shaft both strong and straight,
shaft he had poiiahea wish labor
For Hswiey,
The strongest pillar of the church.
He winged it with great eloquence,
With learning and with sound sense,
At Hawley,
Seated in the pew before him.
Boldly he drew and he aimed with care,
1t caused o sudden rising of the hair
OF Hawley,
The guilty pillar of the church.
A second be took, both straight and strong
Winged with passionate sense OF wrong,
For Hawley,
Who had cr,wled for the inidel vote.
He drew it stoutly, and aimed it true,
The mark he aimed at was plain to view,
At Hswley,
The favored saint of the church.
Swift II fed, sounding no uncertain note,
1t was the Presbyterisn's honest vote
Against Hawley,
The fallen saint of the church
He had aimed with all his art
Hoping to touch Christians heart
In Hawley,
| The brightest light of the church.
A careful aim the Rev. Wisner took
| As he turned to heaven his upward look
For Hawley,
The fawping Christian advocate.
And ii pierced heart both hard and proud,
The hardest heart In all the crowd,

The Presbyterian ote-huntey. q
