We have, from the Harper Brothers, vol
ume edited by the author of John Halifax,
Gentleman entitled, Twenty Years Ago
1t is descriptive work Of Paris, as the gay
city appeared twenty years ago to girl in
her teens. 1t Is very nearly a transcript Of
the journal she kept at the time she visited
the place. Its freshness, piquancy and
naturaness give interest to scenes ard
characters that never fail to attract readers
A little less use of the French language would
have better adapted it to general perusal.
Horace North has it for sale.
The llarpers publish "Oliver Twist" by
Dickens, in paper covers. The makeup of
the work is excellent. Its clear type and fair
engravings would do credit to a work for the
library shelf. The other works of the author
will follow in the same style. Horace North

THE INvALID-A Pen PIcTURE.-See her
pallid countenance, but a short time ago the
picture of ruddy health, the envy of the
school and the pride of the household. She
was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for
her 1.-THE form and pleasing disposition carried
cheerfulness into their ranks. Dilligent,
punctual and exemplary, obedient and grace
full at home, she won the hearts of all. But
alas, we are sorrowed Those rosy cheeks
and rudy lips are blanched by consumption.
The voice once so enchanting in laugh and
song is feeble, husky and supplanted by hol-
low cough. Let US approach her couch gent
ly and take her hand. Do not shudder be-
cause of the feeble and passionless crap.
The hand once so hearty and plump is enact
ated and shows bony outlines, while the cords
and tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon
the surface. The pulse that bounded with re-
pletion, carrying vigor to the whole systsm
and impariing life, beauty, yivacity, health
and strength, is delicate to the touch. The
feeble heart can not propel the thin scanty
blood with force. Must We lose her while yet
in her teens? Companions and friends gather
around her with words of cheer and consola-
ton and depar. with moistened eyes and silent
steps. Must We lose her? No. there is re-
lief! We can stay this destroyer of our hap
piness and not suffer the loss of so bright
gem. Something more is required now than
dietary and hygienic observances, for nature
calls for aid and she shall have it. Take this
pleasant medicine. 1t is invigorating. How
| it allays the irritable cough, improves the ap
petite and digestion and sends a healthy Jingle
through the frame. The blood is enriched,
nervous force increased, and the heart bounds
with a new impulse. See her face brighten
by degrees; the color is returning, her voice
| is getting clearer, and pleasant words are
snoken The strength falters vet but is gain
| ing. Let us take her out in the warm sun
SHINE. In short time she will be able to go
without aid, cheerful girl. This delightful
medicine must be God-blessed. 1t is restor-

before, and DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Dis
covery must have the credit. 1t has raised

THE SECRET or features
of Grecian mould, well-turned neck and
beautifully rounded arms, are no doubt very
nice things to have, and ladies who possess
these charms have reason to be thankful to
Mother Nature; yet, after ALL the most capti-
waiting of all womanly charms is pure, fresh
and brilliant complexion. This superlative
fascination any lady may secure by using IIa-
gan's Magnolia Balm, the standard beautify-
ing preparation of the present age. 1t differs
from al ordinary cosmetics in three most es-
sential particulars, iuasmuch as it contains
no injurious ingredients, does not contract or
shrivel the skin as all the astringent blooms, >
lotions and powders eventually do, but
produces lasting loneliness by improving
the health OF the skin. Under its operation
the texture of the epidermis becomes finer,
and the surface soft as velvet and smooth as
porcelain. Features cannot be changed, but
compilations can, and tits quite certain that
a lady with no other charm than fresh and
rosy complexion, will attract more admiration
in company than her neighbor with a classic
face but sallow skin.

The country about Kansas City, in Mis-

dispute was renewed, the adversaries whipped
out their revolvers and free fight ensued,
resulting in the death of one of the parties

others. If the christians of that neighbor-

Southern republicans in the House are
growing anxious over the manner. in States
where the democratic reaction has CONTROL in
which legislation is shaped so as to exclude
large bodies Of voters, chiefly colored from
the polls. The States are Alabama, Georgia,
North Carolina and Virginia. A poll or cap
itation tax, is levied as a prerequisite for
voting. More stringent legislation has been
or is being passed. Its effect will be seen
when it is understood that about so 900
colored voters will be cut off in Georgia alone.
This is about the proportion elsewhere. Con-
gress is to be. asked to enforce the l4th amend
ment, so that States pursuing the policy of
excluding from the polls all who do not pay
the tax or taxes required, may be made to
feel that they have something to lose.

viewed by Senator Wilson, gavethe latter
hssyiews in relation to his nomination
He said that he had never spoken word
to anything man in regard to his re-nom.
nation. There are many persons in
the country said he, "who deserve the
nomination more than do, and / will do
everything in my power to aid the election
OF such man. il he is nominated" He
added that his position to-day is precisely
the same as when eight years ago in front
OF Richmond, he received letters urging
him to accept nomination against Presi-
dent Lincoln--the unity and success of tho
republican party are, in his view, to be
consulted before the wishes of any man
in it. Consequently he hopes that the
Philadelphia Convention will be made up
of the people ard not of oiiice-holders
1t seems TO US there is a great deal Of
dignity as woh as modesty and gooe
sense in this language of the President
1t bears the stamp of its author in ever,

ishness of the President and the unscru

SOUTHERN CHARAcTER.--The
Southern people are eminently conser-
vative. They are not easily led to ex-
tremes in politics, religion, social Gus,
toms, or modes Of action. They do
not readily take up with the transcen.
dental style of thought which is mani,
tested in higher law doctrines. Spirit
ualism, womans rights, or communis-
tic funeral professions. Southern so,
ciety is elevated, refined, harmonious,
compact. 1t is not the coarse, loose,
uncultivated insecure thing which its
ignorant enemies have so often delighted
10 representa-.
We speak, of course, of what is un-
nerstood universally in all communities
of the real timber of society, that by
which q people should rightly be
judged. In this respect the Southern
may well rest satisfied in comparison
with other sections Of our country.
They may not, indeed, have advanced
go far, if it be desirable TO do so, in
many Of the arts of living. as have
those of the more Northern ATTITUDES
for many of these very arts, while pre-
senting all the attractions of splen'
ditlly superficial civilization, are but
the whitted sepulchers which conceal
the rottcnness within.
{ But in that refinement and cultiva-
ton which is born of honesty of char,
acter and goodness of heart the genuine
Southerncr has no superiors and but
few equals.
Fraud, open-hcarted and generous
honesty by instinct and education, he
is as constant and true in his friendship
as he is earnest and outspoken in hie
enmities.
Such people are not given to mis-
representation of themselves in the
eyes of others. They are easily and
quickly known, and are ready to res
pond t0similar sentiments in others.
