Helmbold,s Buchu has long been
known as one Of the most valuable
medicines attainable in certain classes
Of Diseases such as dyspepsia, chronic
rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous affec-
ton, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. AS a diuretic, it is
superior to ain ost any other medi
cine in use, and the great care with
which it is prepared, the absolute
purity of the preparation, and the
diligence used in the selection of the
crude material, have made it known
far and wide as a reliable and effec-
tive preparation, and II that can
always be used with safety and bene-
fit. The great success of Helmbold's
Buchu has led to the production of
many spurious preparations, which
are made cheaply and placed upon
the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original
preparation. Parties who desire a
really good medicine should be care
ful and use Helmbold's only.

FEMALE EDUCATION.
Hardin CoiEes,. Iezico, MO

Every year greater attention is be-
slowed on female education. The
a%vocations of life are being constant
ly opened up more and nor to wo-
man, and with increasing acknowl-
edgement by society of the propriety
of their being appropriated by the
softer sex, comes recognition of the
necessity of preparing woman to fill
them with profit and honor. 1t is
already realized by parents, that if
daughters are to be placed upon full
equality with sons, they must be bet
ter trained, not because the sex is
feebler, not because its powers of ap-
plication and endurance are less, nor
yet because its ability of attainment
is more contracted than that of man,
but because, as a general rule, wo-
man does not as early or as readily
realize necessity for dependence upon
them.
With increased attention bestowed
upon her education, woman has luani-
tested extraordinary fitness for the
position Of irstructress, and if she
has been successful in training our
sons, how much more appropriate is
it that she should have charge of our
daughters also. A large female in
stitution conducted by accomplished
ladies' is a constant suggestion. 1t
places daily before its pupils exam
pies to be initiated, difficulties to be
overcome, requirements to be attain
ed. 1t inspires emulations, gives
birth to ambitions, and demonstrates
that from the position of a successful
teacher, the step is short to the lau-
rels of literature and the higher and
broader honOrs Of the professions.
1t was a wise thought that induced
the managers Of Hardin College to
select a Faculty composed almost
exclusively of ladies', whose past sue
cesses give ample guarantee of what
will be accomplished by them in the
future. The list of this Faculty was
handed to lis last week, just as our
paper went to press, when there was
no room for more than the mere in
serti0n of it. We recur to it now
because we desire to impress upon
this ami all other communities, that
there is not any where, an institution
whose educational facilities or pleas
ant social accommodations are of a
higher order.

The girl | think SO awful pretty,

She is SD sweet love to pet her,
My little winsome Henrieter.
No stars shine like thine eyes, my pet,
Those twinkling eyes of Henriet.
