TIVE PUBLIC LIBRARY or KENTUCKY
Day of tn Drawing Fixed,

No POstponement from September rs.
To the Public:
The.Trustees OF the Public Library OF Kentucky
being satisfied from the large sale OF tickets already
made, and the daily increasing demand for them
that there will be no occasion for postponing the
second drawing In the CIT Concert n aid OF the
Public Library OF Kentucky have instructed me, as
their agent and manager OF the Gift Concert to say
to the pub' and ticket-holders that the drawing
will positively take place September 2sth prox.,
aud viii not be postponed. An active demand for
tickets comes from every State and Territory OF tile
United States, aud from the Canadas, giving
auce to the Trustees that no can pre-
vent drawing at the appointed time.
SUFFICIENT clerical force is engaged to keep up
with the order of tickets, and In order that this
ofice may be relieved Of the immense pressure Incl
dent TO the business for the week OF two immediate
ly preceding the drawing AGENT especially, and
those DESTROYS OF procuring tickets, are requested
to send In their orders Immediately, as sales will
have TO be closed in time to make the ne cessary pre-
partitions for the drawing. 1t is the wish Of the
management to Ill every order for a ticke', as well
as to sell all the tickets, but those who spply nrst
must frst be supplied; and, II those who put on
buying until sales closed. have their money re-
turned instead Of the tickets ordered as in the inst
GIT Concert in December last, when thousands Of
dollars that came too ate were sent back they will
have none to blame butsthemselves

wOman's opinion OF Hasbands.

As q general rule, we know that
men have, by nature, a superiority
IN strength, which enables them TO
go through labCrs and dangers, men
tai and bodily, from which females
should be exempt; and, that by ed
ucatlon, they are qualified for exer-
cislng the several trades or profess
ions b. which they arc 10 maintain
their families. On the other hand.
women are cndOWed-be all the
gr2ces and amiabilities of the sex
with q great superiority Of quick
ness, tact, and delicate discerhment
IN all the everyday affairs ofllfe. In
al these, therefore, the husband
ought TO be completely guided by
his wife. And this shows the wisdom
OF our ancestors, in making the hus-
band ''endow with all his worldly
goods the wife he has chosen. The
wife IS dependent on the husband.

according 10 the language of the pO-
cts, married to the elm" But il
you could conceive hop-pole, or a
pea-stlck, or an elm, imagining that
those plants we're put there on pur-
pose Ior MS adOrnment, YOU would
tell them that this was quite a mis-
take-that the climbers are cultivat-
ed for the flowers or fruit-and that
the stakes arc placed there merely
Tor their sake. and must not claim
any superior dignity or worth over
the plants they support. Now, lust
such is tine Office of the husband :
and this state of things is what peo-
pie approach to more in proportion
as they advance in civilization.
Among mere savages the wife is
made 10 yield TO brute force. and is
mere drudge in barbarian coun-
tries women are shut up; in more
civilized they are left free, and have
more control and in dear America,
the glory of all nations, they have a
higher place, proverbially, than any
where else.

The strains the angels Sing.

II came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song Of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps OF gold;
peace to the earth, good will 10 men,
From heavens all-sracious King !"
The world in solemn stiffness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
StiII thro' the cloven sky they come,
With peaceful wings unlurledi
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains,
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever, DER its Babel sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
Yet with the woes Of sin and strife,
The world has suffered long;
beneath the angel strain hath rolled
Two thousand years Of wrong!
And men at war with men hear not
The love-song which they bring;
Oh, hush the noise, ye men Of strife!
And hear the angels sing.
And ye beneath liic's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low;
Who toll along the climbing way,
with painful steps, and slow
Look now-for glad snd golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing
For, 10 the days are fastening on,
BY prophet words forctOld,
When, with the cyer-cirelinS years,
Comes round the age Of gold;
When peace shall, over all the earth,
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing!

concluded TO freeze them out at one

Yellow jacket was up to $50 per

delighted her with the generous
present of ten shares OF that stock,
cOnfidentially rcmarking to her as
follows: Now, darling, YOU just
hold on to this "A few days. Its now
up, and Is going up TO 4 big figure.
I'm on the inside and know all about

expected, she told her friends-his
rivals. They got excited aud all
went IN for Yellow Jacket They
even paWned their watches and Jew

4 spider breaks his thread twenty
times he win mend it again. Make
up your mind to do a thing and you
will do it. Fear not, if trouble

one.
Trouble, never stop forever:
The darkest day viii pass away"
If the sun goes dowR, look up at
the stars; If the earth is dark, keep
your eyes on heaven.
"Seyer di>pair when fog's in The uir.
sunshiny morning comes without warn

Mind what you run after. Never
be contented with a bubble that will
burst, or a firewOrk that ends in
smoke or darkness. Get that which
you can keep, and which is worth
keeping.
something sterling that will stay
When gold and silver hy away"
Fight hard against a hasty temper.
Anger viii come, but resist il
stOutly. \ spark may set house

you cause to mourn for all tie DAYS
of your life.

Whatever you do, do it willingly.
'A cheerful spirit gets on quick,

DeccBcy in Newspapers.

Tbs Mobile Register properly in
5ists that there is no reason why a
newspaper should transgress the
rules of Christian decorum and
decency. The excuses commonly
made for the publication of shame
ful and disgusting details ofobscene
crime and other matter offensive
either 20 good taste or good morals,
(and violation OF one is not necessa-
rily a violation Of the othcr), are
utterly lame and impotent. There
Is no reason why a new sDaper
should not be as free from imDuritv
or indccency as the daily CONVERSE
tiOD of q refined Christian family.
The newspaper should be publica-
ton which 4 father might place i'm
the hands of his daughter. or a
brother in those of his sister-in
short, which should enter any house
hold without the necessity of pre-.
hmlnary examination. The plea
that II must be 4 mirror" of all
things going on in the world things
base, vile, and disgusting, as well as
things pure and honOrable-is the
shallow Sophistry of pruricnt in
clinatiOn. 1t will not bear examina-
ton, as it would not bear being car
ried out TO its fun extent, even in
the eyes OF those who urge il. 1t is
no answer TO say that newspapers
in general fall far below the stand
ard we have indicated. 1t is too
true that they do, but this proves
only that their actual standard is de-
based. That it Is so, is (partIy, at
least), the fault of the public that
tolerate it
