An Enthusiastic Endorsement.
GoRHAM, n. H., July IA, 1879

GENTs-Whoever you are, don't know;
but thank the Lord and feel grateful to
you to know than in this world Of adulter-
ated medicines there is one compound that
provss and does all it advertises to do, and
more. -Four years ago had slight shock
of palsy, which unnerved me to such an ex-
tent that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last May | was
induced to try Hop Bitters. l used one
bottle, but did not see any change; another
did so change my nerves tina. they are now
as steady as they ever were. 1t used to
take both hands TO write, but now my good
right hand writes this, Now, If you con-
tinue to manufacture as honest and good
an article as you do, you will accumulate
an honest fortune, aud confer the greatest
blessing on your fellow.men that was ever
conferred on mankind. TIM BuRcH.

A LOVERS OATECHISM.
A Comparison of Conditions Imposed by q
Young Man and Manageable
Young Woman.

A Young man of this city, says the
Detroit Post and Tribune who possesses
n large share of presumption, has been
paving close attention to a very pretty
girl, who has given him no evidence of
her feelings concerning him until very
recently. The denouement was brought
about in this way; He had decided TO
make her formal offer of his hand and
heart-all he was worth-and then he
hoped to be INDUCED in some loyerlike
demonstrations, the young lady so FAR
being coolly indifferent in her manner
TO him. He attributed this to maidenly
reserve, for it never occurred TO him
that she was not in love with him. He
cautiously prefaced his declaration with
few questions.
Did She love him well enough to live
in cottage with him? Was she agood
cook and bottle-washer? Did she think
il wifes duty to make home happyP
Would she consult his tastes and wishes
concerning her associates and pursuits
in life? Was she economical? Could
she make her own clothes, etc.P
The young lady said that before she
answered his questions she would assure
him of some negative virtues she posses
sed. She never drank, smoked or chew
ed; never owed bill to her laundry Of
tailor; never staid out all night playing
billiards; never lounged on the street
corner and ogled giddy girls never
stood in with the boys for cigars and
wine suppers:
"Now," said she, rising Indignantly,
II am assured by those who know that
you do all those things, and it is rather
absurd for you to expect all the virtues
in Inc while you do not possess any Of
them yourself, / can never be your
wife, " and she bowed him out and left
him standing on the cold door step, 9

Warner and Alexandra Dumas.

That is capital story told about
Wagner and Alexandra Dumas, The
former, as is well known, used TO dress
10 very elaborate and medieval style,
changing his dress according to the
composition he was engaged on or the
visitors he had TO receive. The foible
became generally known amongst 9th
ers to Dumas, who, when many years
since Wagner went to Paris, called up
on the maestro. The latter managed
by his cold manner, however. TO offend
the French dramatist, who determined
to have his revenge. So, when in due
'courseWagner returned his call, Dumas,
after keeping him about half an hour,
entered the room dressed in q plumed
helmet, cork swimming.belt, and q
gorgeous hounced dressing-gown. His
visitor naturally stared, on which Du-
mas explained with grave face that he
never attempted dramatic composition
save in that particular adding
that when he came TO love scene he
invariably put on jack-boots, whilst he
usually wrote his epigrams in white kid
gloves. Wagner a most sensitive man
OF course felt this clumsy satire mos
kecnly, and it helped him largely t
form those very uncomplimentary view
OF the French he always kept till tn
end.
