EEAt Springfield, Mass recently,
one of the pews in Presbyterian church
was occupied by two young men and a
young woman who sat between them
AS they appeared to pay little attention
to the remarks of the minister, and
seemed engaged in something very at
traetive among themselves, the sexton
stepped up, and then he saw the young
lady's dress drawn tightly across her
knees, and the trio engaged in an excl
ting game of euchre at 25 cents cor
ner. Many of the congregation tainted
upon learning the true state of affairs.
and the minister fears the church is for
ever disgraced.

EF-A parallel for the fate of Vallan-
digham is found in one of Boccaccio' S
stories of girl and her lover: They
were in garden together; the young
man raised a flower to his lips and
slightly bit one of the leaves; he fell ;
in an instant he was dead. She who
was accused Of poisoning the man she
loved best on earth besought her judges
to be allowed TO revisit the fatal garden,
promising that she would show them
how the thing was done. They granted
her prayer 1T was thus, she said,
plucking flower. She put it to her
lips; her teeth just pressed leaf; in an
instant she was q corpse"

Manhood, Womanhood,
AND
THEIR MUTUAL INTERRELATIONS.
By Prof. o. S. FO w l. Il
The Work is Very Valuable

The Work is Very Valuable
To Husbands, as teaching them their duty
toward their wives and children, and as a warn
ing against those dangers, which are so fatal to
welded happiness.
To Wives, as showing woman's true duty,
and defining her rights as a wife, and teaching
the best way to avoid loss of health and secure
domestic bliss
To Parents, as showing how to beget and
rear healthy and happy children.
To Young Men, as teaching them their duty
to themselves, and warning them against their
peculiar dangers.
To Young Women as showing them the way
to their highest glory in life, and how to perpet-
uate their charms as maidens, wives and moth
ers.
To Those About to Marry, as enabling them
to enter the married state well informed of the
duties required of each Ask your father,
young man, or your mother, young woman, if
such knowledge will not be to you of untold
value.
To Those Suffering from Disease or Loss of
Power, you will find here the simplest and best
remedies for your cure. Take the book to your
physician and ask him if Prot. Fowler's advice
is not only entirely free of expense to you, but
certain to cure and make you happy and sound
in body and mind
The book is very valuable to all these, and
the public generally because it discusses all its
topics practically and i'll the light of the latest
discoveries in science.
SAMUEL G. CUNNINGHAM, Clarington, Ohio,
is the agent for this valuable work. We COM
mend him to the courtesy and patronage of our
citizens, and trust he will meet with that sue
cess commensurate with the merits of the work.

wThe opening of the campaign in
Ohio is extremely favorable. The Dem
ocratic meetings are largely attended,
and thus far we have had every thing
our OWE way. The Republican speakers
have not yet 'put in an appearance,
and the signs are that when they do
they will not have any valid defense to
the arguments that have been made Of
the Grant faction. General McCook' s
speeches have been well received, and
made favorable impression upon all
who listened to them-Cin. Eng.
