FAMILY REUNION a reunion OF the
family of Mr.. AMI MIS-. Nathaniel Straw
was recently held at the Cd homestead in
the Third ward. There were present Mr..
and Mrs. Nathaniel Straw, Mr. and Mrs.
Alonzo w. Straw and daughter, of Mil
waukee, Mr. and Mrs. r. W. Wyckotf
and their children, OF Detroit, and Mrs.
Amelia Seaman, of this city. The gath
ering was most pleasant in its character,
the family being together for the first
time, and in the midst of the happy sur
roundings the fact that it might be the
last meeting of all the family received
due consideration.

THE OUTLOOK FOR 1881.

Everywhere in the South the bust.
ness outlook is cheering, and the step
Of progress is quickened.
The late National defeat has had the
effect to make the South look to her.
self for future greatness, which is the
true source after all. Permanent
greatness rests upon inherent merit.
The South possesses all the elements of
greatness, and only needs additional
development to outstrip the world in
prosperity. Let our people then 60 to
work to make their. own fortunes. We
must make more at home for exporta-
ton, aud consume less of importations
from abroad. Political economy teaches
TINT no people can become wealthy so
long as they discriminate for one class
against another.
Farmers, traders, mechanics and
manufacturers, town people and coun-
try people must all labor together for
the common good Of all. 1t is the
part of littlemindedness as well as con.
sumate folly for any one class of these
persons to try to rise by pulling down
another. 1t is the part of wisdom and
magnanimity for all to pull together
and 60 up together.

sPlain Facts for Gid and Young

The above is the very appropriate
title Of new book which has appear
ed among us. The author, DR.. j. II.
kellogg, stands high in his profession,
being prominently connected with the
yellow fever commission in 1878. The
book is written in beautiful, chaste Ian
guage, and universally recognized
truths, on very delicate subject, are
stated in clear, terse terms, that are
easily understood by the uneducated,
and appreciated by the learned. So
much poisonous literature has been
given to the public on the subjects that
are contained in this volume that an
antidote is demanded by all really good
and scientific people. This, no doubt,
accounts for its unprecedented popu-
larity among the higher classes. We
can do no better than to cite very
few testimonials that have been sent to
the publishers after an examination Of
the work. Dr. d. G. Kelly says: 81
do not hesitate to commend it heartily
to parents or teachers" A. j. Baird,
d. d., Of Nashville says: 81 have
examined Plain Facts very carefully.
1t is a remarkable book. The author,
from natural and scientific standpoint,
treats many delicate and important
subjects in such plain, yet chaste and
mastery style, that the prudent, wheth.
er young or old, may foresee the evil
and hide himself. He boldly, yet
kindly, lifts the veil and lets in a food
of light upon the multitudes, which
has hitherto been enjoyed chiefly by
the medical men. He exposes unmis
takably the hOrlid maelstrom into
which the innocent and ignorant may
unwarily drift and perish, and blazes
out clearly the only royal highway tC
continuous purity, health and happ
ness. At best, life's pathway is bese
with dangers, and the strongest anG
wisest may stumble and fall while
walking in darkness. All parents whC
will carefully study this volume, anC
faithfully observe and early teach it
contents to their sons and daughters
will be remembered gratefully wher
bud and blossom have ripened into use
full and glorious fruit. am glad that
SO high an authority as DR., kellogg
has produced it, and hope its christian
publishers may be able to place it be
side every hearthstone." 81 heartily

the reasons of things to minds already
