A special Notice to Our READERS.

The COTTAGE HEARTH is, as its name indi-
Gates, home magazine, and to those who are
acquainted with it, needs no higher recommen-
dation than to say it is better than ever before
For ten years it has had steady growth both
in circulation and literary quality, and now is
a most excellent home magazine, crammed full
of good things, among which there is always
something to amuse or instruct every member
of the family. Its poetry is by some of our
very best writers, its short stories entertain
ing, its descriptive sketches most attractively
written, and its articles on gardening and
otherhome subjects are ofgreat practical value.
Special features of this interesting magazine
are original stories and poems by the best
American writers, and among its recent con
tributors we notice Edward Everett Hale, Lucy
Iarcom, Celia ThaXter, George Macdonald,
Louise Chandler Moulton, joaquin Miller
Mrs. A. NJ. Diaz, Thos. 5. Collier and 3. p. Shil-
laber. Its departments of music fancy-work,
Horticulture, fashions, receipts and household
hints are filled each month with articles of
great practical worth, ana VIII prove fnvalua-
BILE to ladies' We would especially commend
to our young readers the Young Folks De-
partment where they will find puzzles and
games, with prizes offered for correct solu-
ton. In fact, the magazine from its old-time
fireplace on its front cover, all through its we'll
printed and Observation-Disclosures pages, is
wholesome and interesting, and taking the
magazine, all in all, we do not see how family
can get along without its monthly visits. We
are therefore glad to call our readers attention
to the fact that we offer the COTTAGE HEARTH

There's a skin without and a skin within,
\ covering skin and 4 lining skin;
But the skin within is the skin without,
Doubled inward and carried completely
throughout.
throat
Are all of them lined with this inner coat.
Which through every part is made to extend
Lungs, liver and bowels from end to end.
The outside skin is marvellous plan
For exuding the dregs of the flesh of man,
While the inner extracts from the food and
the air
What is needed the waste of the flesh to repair
Too much brandy, whisky or gin
Is apt to disorder the skin within:
While if dirty and dry the skin without
Refuses to let the sweat come out
Good people all, have care of your skim
Both that without and that within:
To the first give plenty of water and soap,
To the last little else but water, we hope
But always be very particular where
You get your water, your food, and your air,
For if these be tainted or rendered impure
1t will have its effect on the blood, be sure
The food which will ever for you be the best
Is that you like most and can soonest digest
All unripe fruit and decaying flesh
Beware of, and fish that is not very fresh.
Your water, transparent and pure you
think il,
Had better be filtered and boiled ere you drink
il,
Unless you know surely that nothing unsound
Can have got to it over or under the ground.
But of all thing The most would have you be-
ware
OF breathing the poison OF once-breathed air
When i'll bed whether out or at home you
may be,
Always open he windows and let il go free.
With clothing and exercise keep yourselves
And change your clothes quickly if caught in
storm,
For II cold caught by chilling the outside skin
Flies ut once to the delicate lining within.
All you who thus kindly take care of your
skin,
And attend to its wants without and within,
Need never of cholera feel any fears,
And your skin may last you hundred year,
Joseph Poaoe, in the ToH HdH GazeHe.

THE WILLIAMS CASE.

The Court of Appeals-Justlces Mil
Ter and Robinson dissenting have just
rendered a decision setting aside the
deed of trust executed by Ernault H.
Williams to his father, George Hawkins
Williams, well-known Baltimore law
yer, and which conveyed to the latter
all his property of every description.
Young Williams is. a grandson of the
late John S. Cuttings, during his lifetime
one of the richest men, and heaviest
real estate owners in Baltimore. The
young man had inherited handsome
property from his grandfather, but had
formed an attachment for young lady
who it seems hadn'ta satisfactory ped
igree for the Williams family. Every
influence was brought to bear upon the
young man to break off his engagement.
He was cajoled, entreated, threatened,
and, finally, through appeals to his
fears, was induced to execute the deed
of trust, with the hope that the act
would lead to his being discarded by
his sweetheart. He was sent to Europe
afterwards to complete the hoped-for
cure, but all to no avail. In a few
months after the execution of the deed
of trust he married the young lady to
whom he was engaged, and defed the
parental authority generally. Later he
brought suit against his father, obtain
ing decision in the lower court setting
aside the deed of trust executed by him,
and which decision the Court of Appeals
has just affirmed. The case has becoms
a celebrated one on account of the high
social standing of the parties in it.
Miss Hazlett, the lady in the case, beng
a native of the Eastern Shore, and who,
mentally, at least, is the superior of her
husband. George Hawkins Williams,
the father of the young gentleman who
has achieved this local notoriety, is a
lawyer of ability, and has taken prom
inent part in Baltimore politics, having
recently been president of the Senate
of Maryland. He is gentleman by
birth and education, his most prominent
foible being his adulation of English
manners and habits. The son seems
to have inherited all the weaknesses
and but few of the virtues of the father.
