A NEW book, by that remarkable woman,
Frances Power CObbe, is announced, bearing the
title, "Religious Duty" The book is spoken of
as characterized by ga masculine tone Of
thought" which is, In the manly mind. the high
est praise to be accorded. However, tho
thoughts of men are widening, and the day can
be expected when mature Judgment and sound
reasoning in woman will not argue her likeness
to the other sex, but prove the well-developed
attributes of her own. Miss CObbe is a fearless,
steady. though not noisy worker for her own
sex. Like Anna Dickinson, she has neither
scadal nor stolen diamonds to proclaim her a
title to public notice, but whatever she has. TO
say, is, by its own value, worthy of thoughtful
attention.

BOYS and girls VINO look with envious eyes on
the gilt and spangle of circuses will read with
interest the story of little Leo Lawrence, or
LEO Carlo" as he was called on the big bills.
His father was q circus rider before him., and
died while travelling in South America. Little
Leo was thereby left penniless and alone, for his
mother indentured him 10 another rider named
Watson. The boys new master soon went to
England, and the lad was turned over to the
care of a well-known circus and menagerie man.
Instead of finding the business all glory
and glitter, Leo was beaten so cruelty for his
mishaps while practicing riding a "green" horse
that he was compelled to appeal to the courts to
rescue him from the manager. When he ap-
peared in court his face bore the trace Of his
masters brutal treatment, and he limped pain
fully as he entered the room. His hands and
arms were swathed in banda ges, and he evidently
suffered. There is little probability that any
thing will be done in tie lads behalf, and he will
go back to even worse treatment. The boy who
has even the humblest home that is comfortable
should be glad that he is not obliged to be a Cir
Gus boy and ride in spangled tights.

"FOr a few days there will be some fussing
over watches and clocks, some trouble, where
the change is considerable, to get the school
bell rung and the factory whistle blown on

dren and the workers into the new time. But
there is no reason to anticipate any serious diff
Guilty. The adoption of Greenwich time for all
England, Scotland and Wales, which took place
in 184S. involved a change of over twenty min

greatest change for any large Guy within the

"The brilliant audience who listened to Mat

ably disappointed by the excellent manner in
which he acquitted himself on the platform after
the rather severe criticisms in the New York
papers of his first appearance there. The fact
that he appeared to better advantage here, So
cially and oratoricaly, is easily accounted for,
however. A young gentleman in this city took
the distin guished visitor in hand Immediately on
his arrival here, and persuaded him TO give a
private reading of his lecture in the hall where
he was TO hold forth. The young gentleman sat
in the back part of the hall and interrupted the
lecturer as often as it became necessary to cor
rect his faults. In this way Mr.. Arnold's elocu-
tion was improved, and his voice brought to the
proper pitch"
1t would be well for Mr.. Arnold to travel with
the young man, or. possibly, the young man to

FATHER GAvAZzI, the well-known Italian evan
gelist. has been making an important address
upon the evangelization of Italy. The New
York Advocate translates a few paragraphs of
it which it thinks of general interest, particu-
larry the following:
"Above all things we want the evangelization
of Italy to be carried on seriously. We do not
want any eccentricity. Ladies preaching will
not do in Italy. There is a rnmor of the Saliva
ton Army going to Italy; against such an act |
will set my face-we want no religious oharla-
tans there. We want to raise the Roman people
to the dignity of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and
not TO drag the gospel in the dust. No. Italy
wants to be evangelical seriously, and not by
any eccentric efforts"
The latter part of this extract will meet with
a hearty response in this country. The sounding
of the hewgag, the beating of the tom-tom, and
the monkey antics of trick "evangelists," do
more to retard the progress of a true, serious,
reasonable and reverent religion than all the la
bors and sneers of protested infdels and ~scoffers.

it fits may wear:

This most remarkable statement was made by
Mr. Frank b. Lee, clerk in the office Of N. Y.
q. * H. X. X, II Little Falls, NY, on the sth

Mr.. Lee says: Ny father has been trouled for
over twenty years with severe kidney and blad-
der disease, suffering the most acute pain when
urihating. He became so bad that he was OBJ
liged to give up all business. His condition
was such that his urine would drop constantly,
and he was obliged TO use rubber bag, the
weakness was so great. He used many kinds of
medicine without deriving any benefit, until he
was urged by one Of our druggiFts in Little Falls
(Mr. Skinner) to use Hunts Remedy, as he had
known OF Its being used in many cases with
great success. 1 purchased one bottle, and he
commenced using It, and he was 70 improved
that he got along without the rubber bag, He
used in all twelve bottles, and 1t has entirely
cured him. Father is sixty t~o years old, and
we consider 1t most wonderful cure and cheer

with kidney, liver, or urinary troubles.
