Strength for the Weak.

A medicine which either directly or In
directly cOnfers strength, is the most ap.
propriate for those whose radical ailment
is simply feebleness. (And sutch is the csse
with the great majority OF invallds.) This
truth has not been always recognized. In
former days violent purging was resorted
to insuch cases. This cource involved q
radical error; it is to have strength added
to them-not 10 have the little which they
still have, taken away from them, (by VIC
lent purgation) that such sufferers need.
Now food is the only source of strength;
but the want Of food is not the source OF
weakness. There may pc full abundance;
but, il the system does not possess the nee.
essary vigor to digest and to assimilate
it, it becomes, in so far, useless. As a
remedy for this unfortunate condition, DR..
Gottlieb Fisch'S Bittors will be found
has been found-marvellously suitable!

LOOKS OF LITERARY WOMEN
Very intellectual women are seldom
beautiful; their features and particu.
rlarly their foreheads are more or less
masculine. But there are exceptions
to oil rules, aud Miss Lapgdon was an
exception to this one. She was ex.
ceedingly feminine and pretty.
Mrs. Stanton likewise is an exceed.
ingly handsome woman. Maria and
Jane Porter were women of high brows
and irregular features, as was also Miss
Eedgwick. Anna Dickinson has a
strong masculine face; Kate Field has
. good. looking though by no means
pretty one, and Mrs. Stowe is thought
positively homely.
Alice and Phoebe Cary we're plain 10
features, though their sweetness Of dis.
position added greatly to their personal
appearance. Margaret Fuller had
splendid head, bat her features we're
irregular, and she was anything bat
handsome, though sometimes ia the
glow Of conversation she appeared al
most radiant. Charlotte Bronte bad
woudrously beautiful dark brown eyes,
and . perfectly shaped head. She was
small to diminutiyeness and was as
simple in manner as child.
Julia Ward Howe is fine looking
woman, wearing an aspect Of grace and
refinement and great force Of character
10 her face aud carriage. - eroiafioa.

the laws OF trade and commerce that govern a

man should insure at home where he lives,

humiliating as 1t is ruinous for US to send mil
lions Of dollars out Of our State annually for
Life Insurance that should be kept at home.
Money in Maryland Is scarce, interest high, and
property low, because we are sending so much
Of 1t away, There Is certainly no necessity
for this, because equal intelligence and equal
morals will make Savings Banks, Life and Fire

would descend into the lower sphere Of
material life-those things which attest
luxury aud taste-to ornaments, dresses,
sumptuous living aud rich furniture.
The art Of using metals aud cutting
precious stones surpassed anything
known at the present day.
In the decoration Of houses, 10 social

were remarkable. The mosaics, signet

'couches, banqueting tables, lamps, char.

Since nv return have learned, through the |

a voter as well as heavy taxpayer Of the
Ward that be (Ccpp) was soliciting votes
from parties n Washington street on the
ground that if elected he would favor the re-

upon Mr.. Copp and asked him il such was
the case, and a. the snme time informed him
thst It that was his position could not and

that he ,rqs not an .ftr0r Of rsmoriny the
