Advantages of Advertising.

1t is pleasant to tell stories to little
boys, and even to full-grown men who
seem to know no more than little boys.
Here is one, told US yesterday, that will
do for both: 1t was calm, still eve
in early spring, and the god of day was
slowly descending n his chariot OF
flame, &C., when two young men--twins

next. The other insisted that they
shouln't. As they couldn't agree, they
dissolved copartnership at the outset,
each going into business by himself,
and not three hundred yards from the
other. The one advertised in the news
papers, the other didn't. You can cas-.
lily guess the result--or, if you can't,
other people can. At the end of the
second year, the one. with the help OF
printers ink, had cleared some S27 900,

printers ink, had cleared out with an
other mans wife, and was found by his

The value OF this work Is go well known
that little may be said about IT, The eighth
volume OF the ninth edition Is now being
distributed on the Pacific Coast from the
house Of A. i. Bancroft & Co. We quote
from the prospectus Of the American Pub

the British edition. Nothing which appears

supplemental volume, treating with par
ticular fulness from an American point of
view, of subjects of special interest to people
this side of the Atlantic, the contributions
for which will be furnished by the best writ
ers in America on the subjects upon which
they are best qualified to treat. The Ameri-
can edition will, therefore, while containing
all that is in the English one, he even more

telligent citizen Of our country will take
pride In being the owner of SO valuable a
work. This, no doubt, will be ranked like
the American edition OF Smiths Bible Die

American scholar. It's cheapness places it
within the reach of thousands who could
have never owned the work had it not been
for the enterprise OF the American Publish

Art aud Religion.

Bear us witness, We poets and actors,
ye painters and sculptors, ye singers
and players upon instruments, that
your arts have not saved the most of you
from being petty and selfish men and
women. You are jealous of one another.
You are greedy of praise and the gold
that it brings. You know that there
is nothing in your art that eAlarges and
liberates you, that restraints you from
drunkenness and vices that shall not
be named, that give you sobriety and
solidity of character, that enlarges your
social sympathies, that naturally leads
you into organizations for helping
others outside ofyour own circle. Bear
us witness, that you are not the men
and women who are relied on for per-
forming the duties of society. If we
were all like you,-if all were con-
trolled by the ideas that dominate you,
If all shirked the duties of social and
civil life like you,-if all were as much
untitled by their ideas and their en-
ployments as you are for earring the
great burdens of society, what do you
suppose would become of the world?
Now, if there is anything in art that
can take the place of religion, we should
like to see it. If there is anything in
culture that can take the place of re-
ligion, it has not yet revealed itself.
Culture is centered in self. Self is the
god and self is the model of all cul.
ture. Why should it not ultimate in
selfishness? Culture assumes that what
is present in a man needs only to be
developed and harmonized to lift char
acter to its highest issues. 1t carries
no idea of self-surrender, which is the
first fact in practical religion of any
valuable sort, and the first fact in all
good development. Greece and Rome
had plenty OF culture, and are still our
teachers in art, but the beauty that
looked upon them from every hill and
gate and temple could not save them
from their vices. By and by, culture
will learn how powerless it is to make
man that shall be worth the making,
and what poor instruments science and
art are for uprooting the selfshness
that rules the world. 1t is slowly learn
ing this, and men who have bowed low
to her have been touched with that de-
vine discomfort which nothing but re-
ligion can allay.-Dr. j. G. Holland;
Scribner.

The Best Love.

Home love is the best love. The
love that you are born to is the sweet
est you will ever have on earth. You who
are anxious to escape from the homo
must pause moment and remember
that this is so. It is right that the hour
should come when you, in your turn,
should become wife and mother and
give the best love to others; but that
will be just it. Nobody-not lover,
not husband-will ever be SO tender
or SO true as your mother and father.
Never again, after strangers have broken
the beautiful bond, will there be any
thing SO sweet as the little circle of
mother, father and children, where you
were cherished. protected, praised and
kept from harm. You may not know
it now, but you will know it some day.
Whomsoever you marry, true and good
though he may be, will, after the lover
days are over and the honeymoon has
waned, give you only what you deserve
of love and sympathy-and usually
much less, never more. You must
watch and be wary, lest You lose that
1--we which came in through the eyes
because the one who looked thought
you beautiful. But those who bore
you, who loved you when you were that
dreadful little object, a small baby, and
thought you exquisitely beautiful and
wonderfully brilliant-they do not care
for faces that are fairer and forms that
are more graceful than yours. You are
their very own, and so better to them
always than others.-iSelscted.

ElOping by Wholesale.

Among the domestic live stock on
the estate of Mr.. Henry Sisson, OF
Washington, were wife and six step
daughters. BY some chance or other
young Clinton James stumbled and
fell in love with the wife, and, finding
the wife suffering from similar Attic
with regard to himself, proposed an
elopement; but the wife declared that
she couldn't think of clipping and leav-
ing her six daughters; whereupon
young James, determined not to be
cheated out of his golden dream of alb
squatulating affection. rolled up his
sleeves, spit on his hands, and, taking
running start, eloped with the whole
grand aggregation of mother and six
daughters, all in lump. If, in addi-
ton, the young man had included in
the elopement O cooking stove, a sew
ing machine, a COW and a calf and q
steam washing machine and patent
close wringer, there would have been
nothing wanting to insure his happiness
for life. AS for poor Mr.. Sisson, the
loss of his stepdaughters must have
been blow to charlottesville Cour-

young lady made the same request for

Face to Face with Disease

How Often 1t happens that although we have
witnessed the ravages of disease In the case
OF others, we disregard his warning signals
in cur own. 1t is only when we find him face
to face with US that we readily perceive how
grim he is. Then, perchance, when it is too
late. medicinal aid is sought. His avant
courier, his forerunner, is physical weakness
Fortify the system, and you are armed against
him. The finest tonic for this purpose is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which renders
digestion easy and complete, nourishes the
system, improves the appetite, gives strength
yielding sleep, counteracts bilousness. and
keeps the bowels in first rate order. Lean
ness, and unnatural wanness and swallowness
of the face, are obviated by it, and so genial
and beneicent are its effects, that not only is
the body invigorated and regulated by its
use, but dependency banished from the
mind.
