render them accessible to the great ma
jority of readers As time passes, Coop

charm. Every American should be IA
milar with the scenes and characters
which he depicts, for his works are
indirisibly identified with our early

education Of our youth, for they are
well calculated to inspire 4 love ofcoun-

cuts the steel pieces consecutiyely,

fact, does everything until the needles
drop out completely formed. Another

MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.

Though combinations strong as
proofs of Holy Writ, and as numerous
rs the sands on the sea shore, were
produced to prove that DR.. Pierce, the
proprietor of Dr. Sages Catarrh Rene
DIV, is in earnest and means what he
saws. when he offers $500 reward for
anv case of Catarrh which he cannot
cure. vet there would be some skcpucs
and fogies who would continue toshout
"H,mbug !" "IIuMBUG !! at cannot
be, because DR. Homespun say Catarra
cannot be cured" Now, this DIR. Home
spun is the identical, good natured old
fellow who honestly believes and per
sists in declaring that this earth is not
round or spherical, but flat as a slap
lack" and does not turn over, otherwise
the water would all be spilled out of
Deacon Bascoms mill pond. But as
Economical science has positively demon
strated and proven that DIR. Homespun
is wrong in supposing this earth to be
flat and stationary, and medical science
is daily proving the fact that he is no
less mistaken and behind the times in
regard to the durability of Catarrh. In
short, it has been positively proven that
this world moues, and that medical SCI
ence is progresSiue-the opinion OF DIR.
Homespun to the contrary notwlth-
standing. That DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy will cure Catarrh, thousands
who have used it attest.
Then buy it, and use it, in doubt do
do not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all

effective of all womanly fascinations.
They believe, and they are right, they
can lasso as many beaux with the luxu-

can "kill at sight" among themselves
and with their attendants, the merits o!
dreparatisns for the hair are freely can

adoption of LYONS KATHRIoN as an
article better adapted to promote the
growth and beauty of the Chief Glory

Stride in aid Of the fallen women OF

She went out upon the highways

est upon the by -ways--and brought
back to her little rooms one after an
other Of those poor, foriorn castaways
who throng in such saddcst process
ION the streets OF all great cities; and
She shared her bread with thcm-hcr
bed with them, gave them no solemn
lectures, nor did she sit bol, upright
behind a Bible and threaten them
with OId Testament scourgcs but
with every loving kindness, with sis-
tcrIy sympathy, with gcntIcst, tearfui
appeal and encouragement, above all,
by winning them from despair TO
hope, from hope to actual amendment
and honesty, she impaired a new life
to what was living death. Her
noblest deed wa. her sacrifice. With.
in a year, out Of some seven hundred
and fifty pounds, mostly given in
and to which was added her
own and benevolent companions
pitlful incomes, she gave home,
food, clothes, medicine and doctors
care, and new and happy life, to
three hundred and seventy five girls,
poor, painted and poisoned, and rag
gcd patched creatures.
Her success has been very great,
and the people Of London are show
ing their appreciation Of true phlIan-
by subscriptions TO repair her
well.spett fortune.

Gerrit Smith is in his seventy.ffth
year, and his memory is SO perfect
that he can repeat most OF the
Psalms and many other parts Of the
Bible. His domestic as well as pub
lie life has been Of a felicitous nature,
and the bride whom he welded half
century ago is the companion and
helpmate of bis latter days. His
form is still erect, but his once raven
locks are silyered, and those who see
him now can form but an imperfect
idea Of the great pillar Of the aati-
slavery cause as he appeared on the
platform thirty years ago.
