PURITY OF LIFE.-tew laen and wo-
menseen to know how to live pure lives.
There is one rule which is easily under
stood, which it is safe to follow: Do,
think, and say nothing with which you,
yourself, viii not become disgusted, or
against which your purest consciousness
will revolt 1t is doubted if any man
or woHian's nature does not repel impu-
rity OF deed or thought whenever the
deed Is performed or the thought spoken
or revealed to ones own inner self. The

comes to every honest mind. The man
or woman who euitivates purity of life,
physically, mentally, spiritually, is not
likely to act iinpureiy, nor to impress
Others as impure. Nor is he orshe like
ly TO be accounted vulgar or uneompan-
ionable in consequence.
Purity Of life is not peculiar 20 any
creed or condition. 1t does not belong
to any class exclusively IL is a growth.
1t comes OF conviction and is aided by
nature at every steP; for it brings the
surest compensations and the sweetest.
An impure life develops bitterness at
every sJep. 1t yields dissatisfaction to
the soul and discomfort to the spirit.
It embit,ers the whole being, rendering

A BEAUTIFUL ExTRACT.--Going bask
to house which we left long ago with
the sweetness and memories of lost sum-
mers locked away in its closed rooms,
and hidden within its darkened passages,
always seems to he ike a resurrection.
We throw back shutters, and blue heav-
ems peep snilingiy into dim rooms and
dus.y corridors we open doors, and the
June air ehases the fiekering sunshine
through the stiffness Of the dead atmos-
phere; we turn keys and slips, until the
troops Of eager children full of laughter
and motion sweep from threshold to
threshold in one glad rush of life and
giadness HalffOrgOtten dreams and
fancies and feelings wake again as some
faded relic crumbles under our fingers,
and the present touches the past so
nearly that all intervening time and
space is blotted out, and the old days
Join the new in one unbrOxen line of

gloss and freshness If youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and vet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Heavy Loss by see at Bsu no.

The Ice in the river at Buffalo moved yes
terday morning and carried away the bridge d
cross Ohio street. The moving mass also car.
ried ten vessels down the stream and piled
them in mass against the Michigan slree
bridge The bowsprit Of the moving vessel'
carried away the lower part Of Piymlon's eleva
tor, seriously damaged lheCity and Niagara ele
vators, and demolished the sheds OF the New
York Central Railway. The loss is estimate ed
at 81, 100000. At last accounts the accumulat
ed mass was still held atMichigan street bridge
but it was feared that should the bridge give
way the damage to vessels and property below
would be incalculable.

night by lecture by the great temperance orator,
John Is. Cough. Tue lecture was given for the
benefit OF the Young Mems Free Library. Mr..
Cough looks much older than he did when last
here but seems to have lost none of the eloquence
and great power he has always been known to
exert before an audience. HIS theme last night
was his new lecture, entitled. "Now AND THEN; :"
and without any exception we believe II to be the
best OF the many excellent lectures he has ever
delivered in this city. II did not embrace many
new ideas, or enlighten his audience any great
deal to be sure. Tney were conversant with near
ly all the matters OF his lecture. His comparison
OF the times hundred years ago with the present.
and the facilities ose and then did not furnish
much that was new but therein Is the genius OF
the lecturer displayed. BY the excellent arrange
ment and forcible recitation of just what his att
dience knew to be true, with here and there an
anecdote TO illustrate the subject, told bis inim
liable style he managed to delight. entertain and
instruct one Of the most fashionable and intelli-
gent audiences for full hour and hall, conclu-
ding with peroration in which he showed the
terrible wreck and wretchedness which was made
by strong drink of one of the most favored of
men, which drew tears from nearly every eye.
Mr. Cough is us great an actor rs an orator. and
those who think he cannot entertain an audience
on any other theme than temperance will find
themselves very much mistaken nfter listening
to "Now and Then" The lecture was o com
plete success and 1t is hoped will be the means OF
sowing good seed where ii will produce abund-
antly.
