kurpriaeN ON HIS 2Sfi.

II Is an old but true saying that "sur.
prises are many in this world" and
Mr. John Chippey, employed in Forrest
q Pierce's brickyard, and who resides
at No. % West Twelfth street. was made
aware OF this fact on Monday night,
when he returned to the bosom of his
family, between 9 and 10 o'clock, and
found the house illuminated and filled
with a large number OF his many friends
who had been invited there by Mr..
Chippey's wife, in honor of the 2Sth,
birthday of her liege lord and master,
who had not given the event a thought,
which made the surprise complete. Mr..
C. had been invited down to Stahsbury
Murray's to spend the evening, and
about 8 30 O'Clock both gentlemen pro-
ceeded leisurely up the street, discuss
ing the topics of the day, until they
reached Mr.. C.'s residence, when they
both entered, with the above result.
After the usual congratulations had
been extended, the invited guests we're
escorted out to the dining room, where
a bountiful supply of refreshments
awaited them. After doing ample JUS
tice to chicken salad, deviled crabs,
fried oysters, terrapin, ice cream, cake,
etc, the remainder of the evening was
spent in a social way. A conspicuous
article of adornment on the table was a
large cake bearing this inscription
~ am 2s." Mr.. Chippey was also the
recipient Of number of useful pres.
.rts from his friends, and the occasion
was one long to be remembered by all
present.

Our First Number
FOR FALL.

You will see many adver-
tisements about large stocks
of Fall and Winter Goods,
and each one will claim to
be ahead of their competitors
but we will be content to
let the readers of the RE-
PUBLICAN know we have a
Larger Stock than usual, be-
cause our trade demands it,
and this is an evidence that
our goods are sold at as low
prices as elsewhere, or a lit
tie lower for same quality.
Our Children's Stock is
complete. We do not mean
by that to tell you we keep
the low price shoddy
goods, but we do have a
Good Quality at a very low
price, and yet we sell more
of our Suits from Five to Ten
Dollars.
In our Boys Department
we have some very stylish
garments to show you, while
the young men cannot help
being pleased by making a
selection from our nobby
Styles.
We have over 40 Styles
to show you in our Mems
Department, and now, kind
reader, just visit US at your
earliest convenience and let
us show YOU our goods, and
see if it will not be to our
mutual interests to deal with
each other.
This does not give you
much Of an idea of our Stock,
but if you will stop in at 4th

r RELIGI 10 u S..
GRADUAL BACKSLIDING.

Great temptations are not the most
dangerous to Christian people. We are
not likely 1T once to deny the Lord or tG
commit tiagrant violations OF the law.
There is more danger OF yielding here a
little and there little from the Eight.
One does not become il Sabbath breaker
or profane because any one great temp.
tation is too strong Tor him, but by u
gradual process. He does not become
cold in his service through any chill,
but by first neglecting one dnty and
then another. The disciples slept dur
ing Chris.'s agony before they torsook
him and fled. Peter followed afar OFT
before he denied him. Those who
would serve faithfully must avoid the
beginning Of evil.
The same thingis true Of churches.
They do not become cold and negligent,
or formal, or loose in doctrine or prac-
tice, by any sudden transition. On tho
contrary, the change IL usually unLo.
ticed, save by those who recolI.ct the
past, and put 1t side b. aide with the
present. They remer Der how the pray :
er-meeting was trst neglected ,and Then
the night service how family worship
became less and !, ~ common, and the
Sabbath school less interesting how
the Young people had drifted away
infidel ideas or. pit in. Chr stian people,
and especially those who, as officers of
the church, have accepted n special re-
sponsibility, need to watch the begin
nings of evil.

Look Out for
Cold Weather.

Now that the winter is ap-
preaching, every one should
be prepared for it, and there
is no surer way of keeping
off its biting blast than by
purchasing a good, warm
Suit and Overcoat for your.
self or the boys. 1t may save
a doctors bill and a heap Of
lost time. The next consider
alton is where to get them,
and the best and cheapest
place to purchase. Now, if
the reader will call at 22S
Market street, they will find
as large and varied a stock of
all kinds Of Mems, Boys and
Children's Clothing as can be
found in this city; further
more, he will find the prices
lower than the same class of
goods can be purchased else
where, the proprietor being
desirous of turning his goods
into money as soon as pos
sible, on the principle that a
nimblesixpence isbetter than
a slow shilling. Remember,
we mean business when we
say we can give you the best
clothing in this city for the
least money. Call and see
and you will be convinced.
In our Merchant Tailoring
Department we have always
been at the front. We have
a superior cutter, the best OF
workmen,and guarantee sat
isfaction in every garment
we make. Our stock of piece
goods are too numerous to
particularise t h e different
styles, but the most fastidious
can be suited in style,and our
pricesss are the lowest, We
make suits to order aslow as
SIS, from that upward. Call
and see the styles and prices

AN ILLUSTRATION.

"Pnt thou my tears in a bottle Is
the touching prayer of the Psalmist.
He who notes the sparrow's fall will not
overlook the eyes that weep. The
Psalmist probably alludes to a custom
which still prevails in Persia as Of old.
They bottle up their tears in the follow
ing manner AS the mourners are sit.
ting around and weeping, the master OF
ceremonies pr. sents each one with u
piece of cotton wool with which he
wipes off his tears.
This cotton IL squeezed into a bottle
and the tears are preserved as power
full and efficacious remedy for rtviving u
dying man after every other means has
failed 1t IL also employed as charm
