not such an invaluable toilet article, one so

Removing Freckles.

.'FreckIes appear to be gradually

medical man of this city as he sat in
his office and chatted with q Record

continued, .'there are not nearly as
many eases of such facial decorations
brought to my attention for treat

"I suppose that majority of such
patients are women, are they not!"
"Yes. Almost all of them are
women and girls. In fact, I don't
recall more than two or three eases
in my practice where patient who
came to have freckles removed was
a man, and all of such cases occurred
several years ago. One such case
remember distinctly, for it amused
me . good deal at the time. The
man was about thirty years old,
strong, healthy in every way, and
lived somewhere in Delaware coun'

Thurlow Weed on Holidays.

1t was my own habit during half
century Of active journalism to re-
publish annually these stirring ap-
peals to the better and nobler senti-
ments snd sympathy of the American
people. had another habit which
might very properly and usefully be
observed. This was to repubIish
every ten or twelve years articles
which, from their historical interest,
their eloqusnce, or from their poetic
beauty, were sure to attract general
attention and excite general admira-
tion. These articles would go the
newspaper rounds, and were read not
only with interest by such as has
never before met with them, but
proved fresh and grateful to such as
had seen them before. / think your
readers will thank you for now pub
fishing one of these articles. 1t IS,
as will be seen, very beautiful de-
scription of the person, manner,
habits, appearance, miracles and
character of our Savior. This ac-
count is peculiarly valuable in not
only coming from a contemporary,
but one high in authority.
THE SAVIOR.
A description of Jesus by Pubius
Lentutus, President of Judea, in the
reign of Tiberius Caesar:
There lives at this time in Judea
. man of singular virtue, whose
name is Jesus Christ, whom the bar
barians esteem as a prophet, but his
followers love and adore him as the
offspring of the immortal God. He
calls back the dead from their
graves, and heals all sorts of dis
eases with a word or touch. He is q
tall man, and well shaped; Of an
amiable and reverend aspect; his
hair of color that can hardly be
matched, falling into graceful curls,
waving about, and parted on the
crown Of the head, running as q
stream to the front after the fashion
Of the Nazarites his forehead high,
large and imposing, his cheeks with
out spot or wrinkle, beautiful with 8
lovely red; his nose and mouth
formed with exquisite symmetry
his beard thick, and Of a color suita.
BILE to his hair, reaching below his
chin and parting in the middle like
q fork /; his eyes bright blue, clear
and serene; look innocent, dignified
manly and mature; in proportion Of
body, most perfect and captivating
his hands and arms most delecta
BILE to behold. He rebukes with ma
jesty, counsels with mildness, hii
whole address, whether in word ol
deed, being eloqusnt and grave. NJ
man has seen hlm laugh, yet his an
swers are exceedingly pleasant, but
| he has frequently wept in the pres
ence OF men. He is temperate, mod
est and wise; man for his extra
ordinary beauty and divine Perfec
tions, surprising children OF men il
every sense"
The Savior is so seldom recognized
in profane history that this confirma
tory contribution to his perfectlon'
Is especially valuable.

OF happy men the happiest yet
Is he that's out Of love and debt,

Who has no duns to craze his mind;
With heart and thought and conscience
free, ~
Where is the man more blest than he?
".Out of lore and ont Of debit" -

To all surroundings reconciled,
He sleeps as sweetly as child;
By neither love nor debt DISTRESSED,
His dreams but glorify his rest. r
He never drtads the morn to see,
For days with days in peace agree,
"Out of love and out Of debt"
Motto none will e'r regret"
Who's had his share of debt and love
Knows what the peace they rob him Of;
And, once relieved of love and debt,
His slavery never car forget.
No longer will he bend the knee,
But sing the paeans ofthe free.

Motto none will e'r regret.
For all the bliss that love can give,
There's more of woe with love to live;

Who, honoring manhood, no man owes.
No love, no debt, ah! there's the key
Of life, for him who'd happy be.

Charlton Ridge.

There. has been some discussion
in the columns Of the Courier Of late
in reference to proposed change in
the stock law, whereby certain kinds
of stock shall be restrained tnat have
hitherto had the freedom of the
range. We do not know that such
discussion just at this time is in or
der, as there is as yet no submission
of the question to the people. New
ertheless, enough has been said to
show there is diversity Of opinion
on this subject, as upon most others.
If in the dark on this sub
ject we should feel our way care
fully, and if in the light to look we'll
before we leap. Let every voter
consider his own interests, and not
look too much after others. By the
one fortunes are made, by the other
that desirable commodity is some
times lost. 1t will certainly be ad-
mitted there is great gain in letting
hogs run in the Charlton bottom,
weere there is a large area Of un-
fenced land that may, when corn is
scarce, get the benefit of the mast,
&c. The same may be said Of cattle.
Many of our citizens have always
availed themselves of the benefits of
these natural pastures-some through
choice, others by oompulsion. A
restraining stock law involves num-
Der of questions that it would be
we'll to consider. First--No fence
except the pasture or pound for the
stock. Second-The loss of winter
pasture in the way of rich stalk
fields, or all the neighbors turning on
them at the same time, or herding
them. In short, a complete revoIu-
ton in our mode of farming would
be inaugurated by the change. We
believe it is best to get all the in
come we can, both from the fenced
and unfenced lands. Let the farm
| ers keep up their fences II they can,
and if they can't turn their farms ovel
to those who can. Not long since W.
met with a gentlemen who was lout
in his support of the stock law WHIT
voted against it when it was submit
ted to vote of the people. A chang'
| had come over the spirit Of hi!
dreams, occasioned by his neighbor''
old sow eating his chickens. Thi
same gentleman had told us on {
| former occasion that he had mad'
more clear money by letting his hog
run In the bottom than he did on hi
farm. The truth is, to make none.
farming we must utilize all Of ou
land. Let those who have poo
fences go to work and repair them
Let everybody turn out his stoc
who wishes to do so, and thus liv
and let live. 80 FARMER.

General Buffers Letter.

An old party paper of this city IN
printing General Buffers letter accept
ing the national party nomination, re-
marks with evident and vicious satisfac-
ton, that in his powerful presentation of
the financial doctrines of the national
party, General Butler has forgotten to
append the usual formula of acceptance.
This, although technically true, Is not so
in substance, and will certainly be cor
rected by him upon his attention being
called to the omission.
General Butler unqualifedly stated to
the committee, in their interview with
him at Boston, that he accepted the NOM
ination of the national party for presi-
dent, and in the presence of the commit
tee and without qualification, authorized
a dispatch, which was sent to and pub
lished In the Grand Rapids (Michigan) J
Leader and the American Sentry, saving,
General Butler accepts the nomination" J."
Few unprejudiced readers will even
discover the omission of the very few
words which would have made his &C
ceptance as emphatic in language as it is
in substance and fact.-American Sentry.
