A few words of comment, mere
outline, will give very poor idea of
the lecture as whole. The educat-
ing influences of beautiful homes and
pleasant surroundings, the effects of
such culture in the after life in max
ing our homes the paradise they
should be, were very forcibly pre-
sented by Prof. Freer; but one essen
tial point was omitted. We all need
by law of our nature satisfaction
and peace, a tranquil freedom from
mental alarms. Without this all out
ward possessions are poor. Spacious
halls filled with costly furniture or
with exquisite statuary, grounds COW
cred with majestic trees, the rarest
flowers, fountains and gardens--these
a prison Of decorated gloom to the
mind harrassed and distressed. We
crave an inward rest as condition
of all true enjoyment. Unless we
have this our seeming pleasure is
but the mimicry of real happiness.
If we have love to God and sympathy
with our fellow men a prison would
be frightened by it as by true
angelic presence. A household
would be filled with blessing more
perpetual than the fragrance Of sum-
mer. \.

ED. ADVERTISE noticed In
the last issue of your paper joint
resolution of the ladies Of this pleas
ant little town, and as the spirit there
manifested is commendable, the i'm
perative call of duty bids us take
notice thereof. The resolution was
certainly replete with wisdom, and
being las we all are) believers that
tout of the fulness Of the heart the
mouth speaketh,' we extend our
kind and brotherly congratulations.
Wishing to acknowledge our appre-
citation Of this movement, and desir-
ing to manifest also the spirit of
reformation, we, the young gentlemen
of Upton, met a few evenings ago in
solemn conclave" and adopted the
following:
WHEREAS, We CERTAINLY mean business;
therefore be il
Resolred, That we extend our heartfelt
sympathy, and cordial cooperation to the
young ladies of Upton, and
Resoired, That we will not accompany any
young ladies to church or circuses, who,
while there write notes to circus men, drum
mers, or Others with whom they are not
acquainted; and
Resolped, That we will not hestow our at
tentions upon young ladies who are in the
habit of INDUCING in fan, or handkerchief
hirtations, or promenades at late hours with
strangers Of doubtful character, along the
otherwise quiet streets of our pleasant
town; and
Resolred, That we will Danish from our
society any young man who endeavers to
influence young lady to harbor him after
two O'Clock.

Gently adopted by the young ladies'
Of Warsaw, KY:
1--WE, the undersigned ladies' Of
Warsaw, desiring by our example to
promote economy and discountenance
extravaganza, and thereby tighten
liz some measure the burdens of our
husbands, fathers, sons and brothers,
by prudent retrenchment in our
household expenses therefore, pledge
our words and honor, each to the
other, that we will not, during
period of one year from the lst Of
May, 1873, purchase any material for
wearing apparel, the cost Of which
shall exceed twenty-five cents per
yard. And shall further promise to
observe strict economy in all our
household appurtinances, and cheerful

the general stock of home comforts

A COURSE OF LECTURES at this
place for the coming season seens
now to be assured, and we are very
glad that it is SO. The experiment
was tried two years ago, and although
those who became responsible for its
pecuniary success or failure did not
find their office precisely a sinecure
at the final squaring up, yet we had
the pleasure of listening TO FIVE lee
tures--all OF them excellent and
offering such spice of variety as made
the course unanimously esteemed an
admirable one and secured for it a
very respectable patronage. Some
forty or more Of our citizens have
again subscribed to an agreement to
see through like attempt for the
approaching season, and it only re-
mains to have a meeting and effect
the organization necessary to the
selection of lecturers and making
contracts with them. And while
these steps are being taken, we hope
that those having the Hall in charge
will see to it that additional and
necessary ventilation is secured
thus removing the very valid objec-
tions which some have had in the
past to making units in a crowded
audience there. This done we feel
sure that Upton and vicinity will do
itself the credit of as we'll appreciat-
ing the intellectual and elevating
pleasure to be found in good lectures
as the enjoyment to be drawn from
the mimic stage, the strolling con-
cert or the sawdust ring.

BASE BALL.--Mechanicsville has
again met Upton on the diamond
field and again wears the willow.
This time the contestants were boys
ranging all the way from little clubs
no longer than wide, to we'll grown
lads Of fifteen or sixteen. The game
was well played at Upton Tuesday
afternoon and resulted in 40 runs for
the Upton lads to 10 for Mechanics
vile, Mr.. Pierce, of the latter place
acting as umpire.
The last Mechanicsville Press
seems exercised because we an
nounced the return game with the
Counter Jumpers for last Monday
and says, "they should have some
thing to say about it." True enough,
and they did say "any day except
Saturday," whereupon Upton re-
piled designating Monday, and hear
ing nothing further supposed all was
satisfactory until the morning came
and with it no Jumpers. Now, when
ever they do get ready, let them
make it manifest; and in the mean
time let the Press, which is never
happy if not "going for something
or somebody, look over its stock in
trade and trot out something new.
Base ball is poor capital for it. at
present.
Just as we go to press the return
game between the Celestials of Will
ton and the Tiptons is concluded,
resulting, after warm contest, in 20
runs for the former to l9 for the lat :.
ter. The first game was won by the
Wilton club, the score standing %
