The Secret of OdphBdtion. of
Grecian mould, well.turned neck and
beautiful by rounded arms, are:no doubt very
nice things to have, and ladies who possess
these charms have reas IN to he thankful to
Mother Nature yet after all, the most cap
tivatug OF all womanly charms Is pure,
fresh and brilliant complexion. This super
latve fascination and lady may secure by
using HAGAN'e MAGNOLIA BALM, the stand
ard beaulifying preparation of the present
age. II differs from all ordinary cOmesllcs
in three most essential particulars inaemuch
rs il contains no injurious ingredients
does rot contract or shflvel the skin as all
The astringent "blooms, "a "lolious" and
powders" eventually do, but produces a
lasting loveliuess by improving the health
Of the skin. Under its operation the texture
OF the epidermis becomes. finer, aud the sur
face soft as velvet and smooth as porcelain.
Features cannot be ,changed, but complex
ions can, ind ii is quite certain that lady
with no other charm than fresh and rosy
complexion, will attract more admiration 10
company than Ler neighbor with classic
face but a sallow skin.
4 Good Word for Local Papers. The
New York T mes says you might nearly as
well forget your churches, your academies
and school houses, as TO forget your local
paper. 1t speaks to ten times the audiance
that your 10 al minister does, and if II has
any ability at all, II is read eagerly each
week from beginning 10 end. II reaches
Won all, and, iii has lower spirit and less
wisdom than a sermon, 1t has thousand
times better chance at you. Laying, as IL
does, open on every table, In almost every
house, you owe il to yourself to rally liber-
ally TO its support, and exact from il as able,
hiRh-tOned a character as you do from ANY
education in your midst. II is in no sense
beneath rotice and care-unless yourself arc
beneath notice and care-iOr il is your re-
preventative. Indeed, in its character, il il
the summation OF the importance, interest
and welfare of you all. 1t is the aggregate
OF your own coLsequencc, aud you canno
iguore II without mistrably depreciatng
yourselves.
