VERY REMARKABLE RECOVERY.

Mr.. Geo. Y. Willing. of Manchester,
Mich. writes: MY wife has been almost
helpless for five years, so helpless that
she could not turn over in bed alone.
She used two bottles of Electric Bitters,
and is so much improved, that she is now
able to do her own work"
Electric Bitters will do all that is
claimed for them. Hundreds of testi-
fnonials attest their great curative powers.

INFLUENCE OF WOMAN's SOCIETY

1t is better. for you, says Thaokeray,
to psss al evening once or twice in 3
lsdy's drawing-room, even though
the conversation ia slow, and you
know the girls songs BIZ heart, than
in the club. tavern. or the pit of .
theatre. All ADJUSTMENTS Of youth
to which virsuous women ara not sd-
mitted, rely On it, are deleterious to
their nature. All men who avoid
female society have dull perceptions
and are stupid, or have gross tastes,
and revolt against what is pure. Your
clab swaggerers, woo are sucking the
butts OF billiard cues ali night. call
female society insipid. Poetry 10 in
sipid to yokel beauty has no charms
for blind man; music does not
please poor bsast who does not
know one tune from another; and Is
a true epieure il hardly ever tired OF
water-souchy and brown bread and
butter, protest I can al. Tor whole
night talking to a we'll regulated,
kindly woman about her girl coming
out, or her boy at Elton, and liking
the evenings entertainment. One
of the great benefits man may de.
rive from women's society is, that he
is bound to be resps ctful to them.
Tbs habit is of great good to your
moral man, depend upon it. Our
education makes US the most emin-
emily selfish men in the world. We
fight for ourselves, we push for our
selves, we yswn for ourselves, We light
our pipes and say we won't 60 out.
We prefer ourselves and our ease;
and the creates. good that comes to
a man from q womsn's society is that
he has 10 think o! somebody besides
himself, somebody to whom he is
bound to be constantly attentive and
respectful.

read the part of Claude coherently,
aud as for his aching, he was as
stiff and awkward as sh amateur.
There are several amateurs in the COM

audience than the star Of the Opera
House on Friday night. The support
was superior in many instances. to- wit:
reading, moving and grscefulness, but
even it vas very commonplace.
Now, sir, the public should not be
imposed upon. The papers of this city
owe more to the people st large than
they do to an occ asional adventurer who
thinks hs can but cannot act, and should
serve the former by publishing truthful
criticisms of their entertain ents. This
