village and hamlet in the country has its
gentleman. This necessary appendage to
every place, claiming respectability, never
soils his tender hands with toll of any kind,
has no income that anybody knows of, yet
he is always dressed, and judging from his
rubcund countenance and corpulent body,
he certainly must be well fed. He visits
the stores, Offices and shops, and if he
chances to meet somebody who has been so
busily engaged that he has not had time to
post himself in the contents of his paper
he volunteers to read it for him and enters
into an explanation of affairs generally,
windingup by condemning all men in official
positions, and telling his one auditor how
he would do if he were President. We
doubt very much whether any village or
hamlet could be persuaded to do without
its gentleman. IT'S true he is of no more
use to the community than pocket book to
toad, but then he is kind of cheap orna-
ment TO the place and serves to entertain
strangers, and gathers from travellers the
latest news Have we such an institution

New Publication.

DIR. Htchcocks new and complete Anal
ysis of the Holy Bible. The Bible is unlike
any other book. 1t must be studied in a
peculiar manner, because each part of it
is connected with every other part. Hence
we must compare all passages in it togeth-
er in order to get the full knowledge we
ought to upon the great and important
principles set forth in the divine word
The arrangement of DR.. Hitchcock's analy-
sis is such that we can with the least pos
sible labor compare scripture with scripture
and make it its own interpreter. 1t is
methodically and logically arranged. Let
any one who has been in the habit of read
ing the Bible by course, try the anylatical
Bible and they will soon be convinced of
its great superiority over the common ar
ranged Bible. 1t will certainly create an
interest in Bible reading in all families who
secure copy. Agents will in short
time call upon the citizens of Perry coun-
ty and give them chance to examine the
the work, and Judge for themselves. We
hope very many families in this county will
avail themselves Of this opportunity, and
secure treasure. We append the follow
ing testimonials
