THE INFLUENCE OF PIcrUREs.-A
room with pictures in it, and room
without pictures, differ by nearly as
much us room without windows.
Nothing, we think, is more melancholy,
particularly to person who has to pass
much time in his room, than blank
walls ard nothing on them; for pict-
ures are loop-holes of escape to the
soul, leading it 10 the other scenes aud
other spheres. 1t is such an inexpressi
ble relief to some persons engaged in
writing, or even in reading, on looking
up,not to have his line of vision chopped
square off by an odious white wall, but
find his soul escaping, as it were, through
the frame of an exquisite picture to
other beautiful and psrhaps idyllic
scenes, where the fancy of moment may
revel, refreshed and delighted. Is it
winter in your worldl perhaps it is
summer in the picture; what charming
momentary change and contrast!-NeaO

Darwin is right-man has descended,
and descended wonderfully" said Prim
to his wife, as they stopped in front of
the cage containing the monkeys. "See
that old fellow, there, the head of the
family, quietly enjoying his dinner, while
his companion and little ones stay away
from him, and do not disturb him. That
ape family is certainly better behaved
than the families of many of their poor
descendants"
"Oh, 1. don't see anything unusual in
that" remarked Mrs. Prim. 81 suppose
the old scoundrel has been drunk, all
night, and is only eating cold victuals, as
I have seen other monkeys do" -
Come, my, dear, let's see what's in tn e

The Waverly Watchman tells story
of some young Jacksonians, who went
over to Waverly on the theatre train, !"
some days ago. The Watehman says the
youngsters acted in a very ungentleman-
ly and disgraceful manner, while in the
opera house, during the performance.
The worst part of the Watchman's item
is that it is in all probability the truth,
mildly stated. There are young men in
almost every town who apparently feel
that they are born fools, and take great
delight in showing the public that they
are fulfilling their destiny. We have
seen young men of this class in church,
during divine service, talking, laughing,
champing peanuts, and keeping up
grand racket, apparently under the i'm
preston that the church was a place of
common amusement, and that the minis
ter was nothing but windmill Brother
Jones must not take this class, however,
as representative of our young men gen.
orally. They are the exceptions. Jack
son has many young men of whom she
is proud. We trust that Jones may come
over, some day, and get acquainted with
them.

William Powers, oldest son of Vinton
Powers. of Madison township, has been
making his home for some time past with
an uncle in Kentucky. He is an unmar-
ried man, some twenty-five years of age.
One day last week he prepared to go
hunting and had double-barreled shot
gun He put load in one barrel, but
he forgot which one, and to ascertain
that fact. put his foot upon the hammer
of the lock and attempted to blow
into the muzzle. 1t was the same old,
old story. He was instantly killed.
His body was brought home from Ken
lucky, and buried on Sunday.

The Tidy Housewife.

The careful tidy housewife, when she is
giving her house its spring cleaning,
should bear in mind that the dear in
mates of her house are more precious
than houses, and that their systems need
cleansing by purifying the blood, regulat-
ing the stomach and bowels to prevent
and cure the diseases arising from spring G
malaria and miasma and she should
know that there is nothing that will do
it SO perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters,
the purest and best of all medicines. See

Last week L. W. Kinnison, Bloomfield
township, had horse stolen. He traced
the thief to Kentucky, and the authori-
ties at Ashland telegraphed to him that
for the sum of one hundred dollars they
would return the horse and the thief
Mr.. Kinnison offered fifty dollars. The
Commits sioners of this county offered to
aid Mr.. Kinnison to some extent.
It is quite appropriate for the State
that can boast Bristow-the only hon
est man living, to make all the money
possible out of its horse thieves. They
are its principal product.

IMPORTANT TO SUBSCRIBERS.

In July next it will be fifteen years
since became sole owner of the Standard
Office. 1 have had very good list of
subscribers all the time, yet have lost
many hundreds of dollars on subscrip-
ton. propose to stop this loss.
From this time forward, 1 will send the
Standard for one dollar per year, in ad
vance, and stop the paper when the time
shall expire. This is the rule Of course
there may be very few exceptions, but
in all cases where the time runs over,
subscribers will be charged at the rate of
$3.50 per year, or l24 cents per month
Now there are hundreds who owe
from % cents up to five or six dollars.
Many of these will desire to avail them
selves of the reduced price, who do not
leel aole W pay up Ine DacK QeDG. can
help you out of this difficulty. The label
on your paper will show the date to
which you have paid. For instance if
you find 1jan7S on your label you will
know that you owe for four months, or
so cents. Now if you owe less than one
dollar, send the amount, and one dollar
for the next year, or SO cents for six
months or 25 cents for three months, as
you may feel able. If you owe more
than one dollar, send me your note for
the amount, payable one year after date,
without interest, and send the money in
advance for what time you may desire,
or feel able to pay. Is not this fair and
reasonable?
