The GospeI that Is Needed

" Marriage is a very matter-of-fact
affair. There is little poetry in it; and
all experience shows that il is better to
get rid Of nonsense before committing
matrimony."

not show any such thing. If nonsense

When two people of opposite sex,

No-if you have no other part in life

A correspondent of the Paris Figaro
thus describes some remarkable Ameri-
can customs which will be new to most
of us. He says: In winter evenings,
when there comes up one Of those fogs
which are 80 common over in America,
it is no unusual thing to meet in the
streets man carrying q lantern, which
resembles one Of our magic lanterns.
He selects frequented spot, and when
the crowd becomes dense around him he
turns his lantern toward the lowering
clouds. At that instant, as if by miracle
the bystanders behold in the midst OF the
heavens, which do duty for curtain, a
gigantic advertisement recommending
some dry goods establishment or cloth
ing store. The second example is more
simple, but not less ingenious. One
often passes on the street a citizen walk
ing rapidly, and treading with all his
weight on the sidewalk. You draw near,
and on the asphalt, in the track left by
the footprints Of the parsonage in ques-
ton, you read an advertisement, printed
in clear and elegant characters. The
man was q walking advertisement, and
he wore shoes with nailed letters on their
soles.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

CONsUMPTIvEs, TAKE N0uCR.-Every mo-
ment of delay makes your cure more hope
less. and much depends on the judicious
choice Of remedy. The amount of testi-
mony in favor of DR.. Sohenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, as a cure for consumption, far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See Dr.
schenck's Almanac, containing the certii-
Gates Of many persons Of the highest respeeta-
bility, who have been restored to health, after
being pronounced ineprable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many. as these evil
dences will show; but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment of two other reme-
dies which DR., Schenck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remedies are Schenek' S
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use Of these medicines, according to
directions, DR.. Schenck certifes that most
any case Of consumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi-
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,

RumOrs of DisraslI's Approaching
Marriage,
Nc Manohester Examiner saws: :

The Manchester Examiner SAYS.
Mr.. Disraeli is so often the subject of
popular rumor or, as plain.spoken peo.
pie would say, of idle gossip, that he will
doubtless be perfectly indifferent to the
latest liberty taken with his name. A
clerical contemporary gives publicity to
rumor from Buckinghamshire, which
il believes to be not without foundation,
that the prime minister is likely TO be
married in the spring to the widow Of an
English peer. This is an old story
dressed up again, though it may be
uono the worse on that account. The
chief objection to it is its inherent pro.
babihty. Is it not MIR. Disraeli himself
who has said that only the unexpected
ever happens2 and as people will per
sist in regarding him as a marrying
man, be might be pardoned for dis
appointing them, il only to vindicate the
truth OF one Of his own epigrsms. While
on the subject, we ought TO say that our
contemporary supplies 3 little local color.

that Mr.. Disrael cannot require the
increased space for his own enjoym ent.
Even the profoundest minds are not
given to enlsrging their habitations
without reason; and as the Premier 8
house has always been big enough for
him hitherto, it is only human to con-
clude that he would not go to additional
expense for nothing. OF course, the
peers widow may be a myth. The
Premier is not restricted in his choice,
