each of his four appointments, Douglas,
Bethel, POpe's,and Mount Zion, to give them

Pointer enables him with ease and comfort
to reach his appointments.
Mr.. Leonard A. Weissinger, whose illness
we mentioned last week, we regret to say, is
growing more feeble every day. His advan-
ced age makes his recovery more doubtful
than 1t would otherwise be.
DIR. c. G. Crump, one ofour leading physi-

Lively times may be expected soon, not
commercially but matrimonially. The
times are suspicious, and the weather is
favorable and there seems to be something
in the atmosphere that prsdiSpOseS to these
attacks; cupid has been scattering his ar
rows all over this country and many hearts
are pierced, The beautiful boy god seems
to have torn the bandage from over his eyes,
II we may judge from the wise selections,
the cOngeniality, the pure love, which seems
to exist between the contracting parties, of
those who have lately entered INTO the no.
ly bonds of wedlOck, as well as of several
other couples, who will soon follow suit.
While the breeZes are favorable let the
bachelors hoist their sails; and launch their
shattered banks, remembering that,
"He who deferS this work from day to day,
Does on rivers bank expecting stay,
Till the whole stream that stopped him
shall begOne,
Which runs, and as it runs, forever shall
run on"
a stray bundle, containing an article of
LADIES' apparel, was left by mistake upon
the counter clone ofOur young men. Fail
ing to find an owner for it, it remained
in his possession for some time, awaking
in his heart emotions of tenderness and love
and dreams of better day coming. TiS GER
tain now, that he will never be an old bach |
plOr.
