the half has not been told. Do you,
think have exaggerated? I beg to
differ with you. These sad facts are
obvious to all who will not be blind

Young lady, do these facts apply
to you? Are you one Of the num-

keep your vow that you win change
your course Of life and turn your at
tention to something high and noble
something worthy Of your sex and
your intellect. Men admire brains
as well az beauty. Would you be
loved and courted by the best and
truest on earth? Show yourself to
be woman-a woman true and
worthy Of any mans heart aud love.
Men don't marry s'doll babies" nor
brainless beauties. You may marry,
but a wife you can never be until
you change your course Of conduct
and quit living for show and style.
Make your influence for God and his
Christ, Limit it not to your own
home and social circle, but make it
felt to the .sall nations'' OF which the
Master spoke, and then all humanity
will be proud of you. God will love
you, the Savior adore you, and Gods
holy angels venerate you.

DR.. Stoddert of Mexico. delivered
his lecture, San Old Bachelors
views on Matrimony,' as advertised,
at the Presbyterian church Friday
evening. before good audience.
From the marked attention given
the entertainment we should judge
that it was highly appreciated. The
various points of the lecture, humor-
Gus and pathetic, were well applied,
and struck nearer home than one
would expect, being direct from an
old bachelors lips. The greatest
fault with the Doctor was his rapid
delivery, which made parts of his
reading very indistinct.

A PORTABLE ELECTRIC LAMP PROMISED.
A civil engineer here who has extensive sci.
cntifc knowledge outside his own immedi-
ate professional domain, and who is now
engaged in colossal enterprise southwark,
tells me that very powerful improvements
are being perfected in the telephone and
electric light. l Judge from what he says
that. within comparatively brief period,
the people of every considerable town IL
the United States will be conversing with
each other with perfect ease and at any dis
lance by the telephone. He says an cleo
trio hand lamp has been invented, the lllu-
minating principle Of which is generated by
some simple chemicals that are ridiculously
cheap and easily manipulated. A little
sliding drawer at the bottom Of the lamp
holds the electric lamp in solution, while,
by simply touching Il button, IL magnificent
light is developed or extinguishei as the
case may be- This lamp does not specially
differ in appearance from the ordinary ker.
