A joliv Time.

On Thursday last the friends and rela-
tives of Mrs. George Whitesel gave hera
joyous surprise, in the shape of an ele-
CANT birthday dinner. The surprise was
complete, for, while Mrs. w. was up
stars attending to some household duties
which, her LORD thought demanded inn
mediate attention, the visitors took pos
session of the lower part of the house.
On coming down to ascertain the cause
of the low hum that attracted her atten-
ton, she found the apartments of her
coy little home thronged with friends
and relatives, whose happy faces were
beaming with pleasant smiles. The spell
was soon broken, when it occurred to her
that she had reached her fifty-fifth birth
day, and a good ~old-fashioned hand
shaking ensued, after the preparations
for dinner became the order of the day.
While a part of the company were en-
gagged in loading q huge table with the
many good things that had been prepar-
ed for the occasion, the rest were engag-
ed in all sorts of merriment; some were
talking of olden times, others were using
a pair of scales for the purpose of COM
pairing their avoirdupoise, while the rest
were making merry in various other
ways. DINNER, !" being announced, over
fifty persons surrounded the most mag
%nificent display of culinary art that could
be set before lovers of sumptuous feast
ing; and, as Mr.. W. led his worthy
spouse to the head of the table, it was
very noticeable that he had lost none OF
the gallantry of his youth, for he smiled
upon her with the same fond affection
that he cherished when, many years age
in the sprightliness of youth, he led he1
to the altar and there embarked with he1
upon the pilgrimage of life. The parties
all acquitted themselves very nobly and
did ample justice to the bounteous sup
ply of provisions, although they found
themselves totally inadequate to the
emergency, for they were obliged to leave
many a tempting morsel untouched. The
afternoon was spent in having a jolly
time, and when the party dispersed they
went to their respective homes well
pleased with the days merriment.

Lcngfellcw's Birthday.

Among the thousands of children who
met on last Friday to celebrate the sew
enty-third birthday of our "Musical
Poet" L~ongfellow, Eaton was fairly rep
resented. The popular interest display
ed in the celebration by the schools and
citizens, and the spirit of inquiry which
has naturally followed in the preparation
for such an event is not far from enthusi-
asm. At 8 O'Clock the schools were form
ed in line at their respective buildings
and quietly marched to the city Hall,
where, for an hour, and to a crowded
house, the pupils of the Public Schools
rendered selections, from americas
greatest poet" among these were psalm
of Life, ""Hymn of the Moravian Nuns"
Something Left Undone, "The Arrow
and the Song" "Village Blacksmith"
&C., &. The exercises were presented
in different ways. There were recita-
tons and essays by single pupils, then
an entire grade would be called on to
give a brief passage. The songs were
such of Lon gfellow's verses as have been
set to music. "The Bridge" "Rainy
Day" and "Upidee." Although the
Hall was crowded, the best of order pre-
vailed. The success of the present eff
fort has awakened a desire to dedicate a
day now and then to the representative
men of our American literature. May
this desire increase, until we shall have
a true appreciation of what the pen in
the hands of such men has done and will
do for Or1r no1ptrxy

Rare Musical Advantages.

To those seeking a musical education,
there has probably never been presented
a more favorable opportunity than that
now offered at the College of Music, in
Cincinnati. Among the attractions be-
sides the best methods of study, the large
array of distinguished professors in every
branch of instruction, and the low prices,
there is to be, this spring, the great May
Musical Festival, with its chorus of eight
hundred voices, its big orchestra, and
celebrated soloists. This festival takes
place in the great Music Hall, which is
also occupied by the College of Music,
and the students of the College are adj
mitted to the rehearsals of the festival.

Live Ions and be Happy.

Why should not everyone live out
their full allotted time, enjoy good
health and be happy? Surely there is
no GOOD reason, and yet many will al
low impure blood, eakness of the kid
neys, imperfect digestion, and urinary
troubles to undermine and break down
their general health, m carry them
to a premature grave. Some seek re-
lief among mineral poisons, in pill
form, etc., Others resort to extensively
advertised alcoholic beverages and fer
mented liquors, only to feel themselves
FOR a time somewhat better. but after
awhile much worse. Now, why should
this be SO? 1t is we'll known by the
intelligent portion of our community
that DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla wi l surely remove all
these disorders. This medicine is the
wonderful discovery of an eminent
French physician, and has proven it
sell IN thousands of instances to be the
best vegetable blood purifier known to
medical men. 1t never fails to effectu-
ally cure Scrofula, Syphilitic disord-
ers, weakness of the kidneys, all nerv-
GUS disorders and debility, and all uri-
nary and digestive troubles. 1t makes
the old feel full of youthful vigor, and
'hS ouhs onCiSobiS anu gay, IesLoTinS
perfect manhood and womanhood, es-
pecially when the disease has a tenden-
cy to weaken the mind, body and nerv-
Gus system. Do not despair. A single
bottle VIII convince you of its great
merit as a health renewer, for it begins
at once to give new life and new vigor
to 10th body and mind, never failing
to remov all symptoms of any and
every disease that ran no nurad NV
cleansing, ,renovating, purifying and
ing out, as if by magic, the many ills
that flesh is heir to, and building up
new health, new vigor, and new life.
