DR.. Livingstone.

Among the lamented dead of 1878 must
be reckoned David Livingstone. News
comes that while on his way, last sum.
mer, from Lake Bemba (Bangweolo) to
Unyanyembe, doubtless with England be.
fore him as his final destination, he fell i'll
from wading through flooded country,
and never recovered. There is something
infinitely sad in the thought of such fate
overtaking him at such time, even if his
latest explorations would prove to have
added nothing to those already made
known to the world through the instru.
mentality of the Herald. The event, how.
ever, cannot take by surprise the readers
OF Mr.. Stanley's narrative, still less those
who have, in private conversation, heard
him describe the really decrepit state of
Livingstone, and the unconquerable pride
which not only would not acknowledge
the decay # his physical powers, but re-
scented with almost childish impotence
the delicate consideration of his rescuer.
He was not old, as we are accustomed to
think of the aged in civilized life, being
at least two years under sixty at the time
of his death. But full half of his life he
had spent in the tropics and sub-tropics,
mostly in arduous journeying; and
for more than half he had so
identified his name and his fortunes
with Africa that, ever since his wife was
buried there, no other seemed more his
native country than the land in which he
too has now found rest. If we except
Barth, and possibly Rohlfs, NO explorer
has traversed . greater portion of Africa;
and Barth alone might contest with Liv.
ingstone the honor of opening up the
wilder area of terra inco0nita. RnnOhlv

MEDICAL ADvERTIsING.-The medical

citation of the system of medical advertis-
ing, and declare that any medicine that is
advertised is fraud. How thoroughly
Inconsistent and unfair is such an argu-
ment. The men who are 80 loud in their
criticisms, are those who adoertise them
selves as medical sacans by ostentatious
display; splendid residences with massive
door-plates; fast horses and costly car
riages. DIR ]. WALKER, of California, an
old practitioner, respected alike for his
skill and conscientious independence,
dares to differ; and having discovered in
his VINEGAR BrTTERs purely herbalistic
medicine, free from all spirituous poisons
"a wonderful specific for numerous dis
orders, advertises the same for the relief
of his fellow man, and is borne out in his
declarations of its many virtues by thou

THE BLISS OF MARRI1GE

Time whirls US along the downhill
path of life with the velocity of a loco
motive /; but we have comfort-we
can make love on the road. What the
negro preacher said of Satan may be
said of love: "Where he finds a
weaker place dere he creeps H." There
is a warm corner even in the coolest
heart; and somebody, if that somebody
can only be found, was made expressly
to fill it. Thousands of both sexes live
and die unhappy simply for want of a
proper introduction to one another.
What an absurdity? There is not a
Woman Or a man Of any age who might
not find 4 suitable partner by using the
proper means. The fact is, HAT affec-
ton is smothered, choked down, sub
dEed and paralyzed by the forms and
conventionalities of this ~etiquettish
world. The fair girl with her bosom
running over with the purest love for a
worthy object must take as much pains
to conceal the fact as if it were a deadly
sin, and Heaven had not implanted
within our bosoms the tender spark and
babe us TO Glove ard be loved" Is
this natural? No, it is artificial. Why
should innumerable marriages he pre-
vented by chilling rules and penalties !?
Nature is modest, but she is not a
starched-u prude Look at the birds.
There are no bachelors and old maids
among them. The hearts that lutter
under their feather jackets follow the
instinct of love, and they take to billing
and cooling without the slightest idea
that courtship should be a formal affair.
Why should there be forlorn bache-
lors and disappointed old maids and
lonely widows and widowers among the
unfeathered any more than the feath-
cred bipeds. Oceans of happiness are
lost in both sexes every year, simply
because parties who wish to be married
are not permitted by etiquette to make
the fact known. These unfortunates
might very properly say to the happy
married folks, as the frogs said to the
boys who we've p%elting them with stones
This may be fun for you, but it's
death to u.s."
