"oUR HOPE" AND "oUR JOY"

OUR HOPE AND OUR JOY.
We have recently added to our list of premi-
ums "Our Hope and "Our JOY" companion
pictures, executed in Crayon style. on tinted
ground printed on heavy plate paper, size
20X2i inches.
They represent two lovely heads, boy and
girl, and "Our Hope" and "Our Joy" are Just
the names for the dear, bright, happy, little
faces. They are just the pictures to glance at
when one is perplexed annoyed, discouraged
or tempted. One couldn't feel vexed long at
anything with little joys face in sight one
couldn't do wrong with her pure little face look
ing down upon him, and it were impossible for
one to remain Respondent any length of time
with the trustful, confident face Of little Hope
| before him.
The faces are not merely childish and pretty,
but there is in addition, strength about them,
and it is seldom one sees 30 much goodness,
truth and affection expressed in picture.
Would you have "Our Joy" and "OW Hope
in your household would You like the dear,
cheerful sunny countenances ever before you
would you place these pure, little faces before
your children that they may see the Joy and
Hope that come from being good and true
Both these beautiful pictures were recently

\ REALLY Coop INvENTIoN.-It is
very seldom we commend to the
public in this way patent improvements
and inventions, which belong to our
advertising columns. What we have
to commend, however, 50 deeply con-
Germs the health, happiness and comfort
of our American women, that we
make no apology for giving it our most
emphatic approval and endorsement
The invention referred to is the Great
American Washer, which is claimed
to be in every conceivable respect srl-
perior to every other washer eXtant.
1t is the smallest, most compact, most
portable, most easily operated, and is
not at all liable to get out of order. Its
construction is so simple, that even a
child can be successfully taught to OPP
crate in an incredible short space OF
time.
Some of the most prominent and
desirable features in this washer,
which is an inducement in itself, are
worthy of especial commendation.-
They are these: 1t is always ready tol
use there is no adjusting; no screws
to confuse and annoy, and no delay
whatever in adapting it. Everything
seems to have been done that ingenui'
ty could suggest; and in our estlma
ton it is simply practical, sensible
and beautiful invention, and only re
quires to be seen to be appreciated
which cannot fail to please the taste o
the most fastidious. Philadelphia

1t is with regret that we record
the fact that Mr. James L, Harvey has
been compelled by i'll health to retire
from the editorial control of the Patriot
newspaper in Washington Mr.. ilar
vey is a writer of great knowledge and
ability, and in losing him the Patriot
loses the chief element Of the intcllec-
tual power that has thus far rnarked its
career Notwithstanding the untortu-
nate retirement Of Mr. Harvey we hope
the Patriot will continue to fight the
corrupt Grant Republican dynasty un'
til the end. 1t is an able and efficient
Democratic organ and should be cX
tensively patronizcd by the Democracy

And made the kindling FIRE with care.
He had put his mother in her chair,
