When Bro. Gould got religion we
were anxious to encourage him. He had
been in the gall of bitterness and the
bonds of iniquity so long, that We wanted
him to bring forth fruit meet for repent
ance, so we proposed for him a missiona-
ry work-we wanted to send him over
among the heathen Democracy OF Pike
county. He misappreheuds our good in
tentions, and like certain kind of ami
NAL described in the New Testament he
turns and attempts to rend US, calling us
dirty dog. Oh Bro. Gouldl You only
prove the truth of the old adage, that it
is difficult to make a silk purse out of
sow's ear, or whistle out of pigs tail.

Stop spending so much on fine clothes,

food cheaper and better clothing; get
more real and substantial things of life
every way, and especially stop the foolish
habit of running after expensive and
quack doctors or using SO much of the
vile humbug medicine that does you only
harm, and makes the proprietors rich,
but put your trust in the greatest of all
simple, pure remedies. Hop Bitters, that

On Monday we called at the marble
shop of Pugh & Long, on Church street
We saw that much progress had been
made in design and execution Of work
since our last visit Among the fine
monuments in the shop was plain, but
highly finished one of Scotch granite, for
the grave of the late State Librarian,
Walter c. Hood, of Marietta. One Of the
most beautiful and highly finished, was
that for the grave of Miss Nancy Goddard,
of Milton township. who was drowned
some three years ago. Another very fine
monument was that for the grave of
Zenas Kellar, of Scioto township. There
were many others nearly as fine. No
marble shop in the State turns out finer
work than the shop of Pugh & Long.
