An Entertainment.

We direct attention to the displayed
notice in this 'issup, of an entertainment
that will be given at the Varieties ! hea-
tre, about the 18th Of February. for the
benefit of the PreebyteriTn Church. The
pieces zieraed for that occasion are. DE.
borsh' and a bur'e-que on .The L'dv OF
Lyons," entitled THE Lady of the. Lions
"Dehor4h":is an excitl ng p'tce and ends
with a murder and = death. 1t is very
popular and ID now being played in Gin
%oinuati. The latter play is a lau5h'bie
farce. and one that IL well calculated to
relieve the sadness that often follows the
rendition Of the former piece. The enter
tsinment will he a hr-t-class amateur
performance and one We hope. with which
the public will be pleased.

A Very Good Reason. ,

The reason why only one sample hottie Of
Mrryslrs Hepatine for the Liver will he sold to the
same person, for ten cents, by our druggists In

of importing TIE Hepatine into this country; but

Dream rot dear John, of a far off past
That drowned u happy youth,
And vainly pine for those happy days,
Filled with love and truth;
But upward look to a brighter world
Where Angels love abide,
And Join the loved and loving band
Who've crossed to the other side.
Then check the silent stream of thought
As darkly rolling on,
Twill lash thy sore and aching heart
Till SORROWS new are born;
Bnt rather dream Of a future bright
All tree from pain and care,
And in ths, s%lorions world beyond,
oh ! NEE. your Jennie there.
The aorrows God hath cent to thee,
Sufficient grace He'll give,

II in lfia word vou live.

Unto the Young shorn lamb
The chilling winds OF winter.
And bids the storm be calm.

How changed to silverv white,
But herald. love. the coming of
That day 40 fsir and bright.
Thv feet are near the river side.
You'll noon be called to 20
To meet the loved one- Of your ; eart,
Mid JOYS eternal low.
Then meeklv bow a willing heart
To Gods Divine decree, 49,.
And bravely cross to the other shore,
Where Jennie waits for thee;
And there mid jovs eternal.
Vel sing forever more.
And with the choir of angels,
Eternal God adore.

Russell & Co. Swindl.rs.

.Aband ofthieves, under the firm name
OF Russell & Co 81 Bond Street, New
York, have clubbed together to swindle ig-
norant dupes. These rogues are engaged
in sending circulars to men all over the
country informing each that the ticket he
held in some lottery has drawn %jewelry
valued attwo hundred and eighty dollars;
that the per oentage due Russell d Co.. Is
fourteen. dollars, and the. jewelry will be
sent by express subject to examination be-
tore payment. The villains will do what
they say send jewellery and allow an exam
nation before payment; but they have
overdanetheir business by sending circu-
lar. to men who never had q ticket in a
lottery. Those men know at once that a
game Of rasoality is on foot. One OF our
friends who had no ticket in any lottery,
rece; we'd one of the Russell 4 Co. Circulars:
He wrote to the rs-cals TO send the jewellery
subject to inspection. They sent a small
watch, that had every appearance OF being
gold. Our friend examined it closely, but
unable to tell whether it.was spurious or
genuine, handed it over to S%taffler, the
iewelry, with the request that he examine
it, He put il under a severe test ard pro-
nounced it a common watch heavily gal
vanissd. and worth but little.
People "a q general thing are very poor
1adges Of jewelry, aud the cheats Russell q
Co.. are palming of will deceive almost
any one, and the bait they throw out, to
allow an examination before making pay
ment. should not be too eagerly bitten at.

ifhe will think, know that the transaction
