The Pocibc CariStioa .Idrocdte OF Jan. -,
says; CDR. j. Simms, who has Just con
cuded highly successful course of lectures
iii our town on physiomouy, is unqucstlon-
ably the most eminent Of living physiogno-
mlsts. He is Il gentleman OF much lore and
wide experience, who has travelled the world
over in the interest of the attractive and
noble science to which hc has devoted his
life. SO familiar indeed has he become with
the study OF physlognomy that every feature
OF the face tells him Il tale and enables him
to read til, human character rs readily and
accurately as he would the PAGES OF an open
book. DR.. Sinms is also well versed in lit
crature, and is the author OF "Natures Rev
Citations OF Character" and several other
popular and scientific works.
As a lecturer, he, unlike most savanl3, is
rs entertaining as he is Instructive and al
ways succeeds in favorably imWessing even
the most s,eptical OF his audience, who on
hearing him leave the hall with better
knowledge OF themselves AMI well satisfied
wish the lecture. The marked chaI,, OF
health and character which are given for
moderate fee by DR.. Simms to such as de-
sire them are invaluable guides in the often
perilous walks of the world and shouId at
once be secured by all VINO are ANXIOUS to
understand and improve their mental and
physical organizations,

Why, what do We pray FOR: Not for good
book, a fine picture, choice music or any
del gifts of mind or heart or finer sense, but
just 'Give us this day our daily bread >
| Very commonplace, no doubt, but very es-
sental to our daily comfort and well-being
And all this is preliminary to saying that
Mr. Joseph Burke is furnishing the flesh
| mart of the daily bread in n very successful
way, cutting up daily a very fine lot Of beef,
and we would remark privately that Tom
Rye fed and fattened the bceves all winter,
which accounts perfectly for their prime COM
dition. Better pay two butchers than six
doctors.
