Enjoyable Evening.

The residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. X.
Bowen, at the West End, was the scene
Of much good cheer on Tuesday evening
it being the celebration of their 9TH year
of married life. Guests began to arrive
about O'Clock and before the hands of
the bronze clock on the parlor mantel
pointed to nine, the company had filed
the house to overlooking. Every one
seemed to bring plenty of cheer and well
wishes, and no one stood on their dignity,
a practice very noticeabeat many gather,
ings. The presents were numerou4
beautiful and most appropriate To
enumerate them would require fully d
columns space, hence your reporter re-
Trains. Among the novelties was a Jap
anese doll, which caused fun from its
odd appearance. As is customary, the
bride received the larger number Of
tokens of remembrance, but the groom
was not entirely forgotten, as there aps
peared among the many good things Il
handsome pipe and cigar-holder, in n
neat case, and quantity of cigars, " hich
your reporter must say looked most
tempting. Music from piano anu violin
caused lovers of the dance to respond,
and disbursement was heartily enjoyed.
Card parties could be seen here and there
about the prettily decorated rooms.
Choice foliage, plants and blooming
flowers from the hot-house of VIM. IL
Cook q Co., gave a handsome appearance
to the parlor and were in striking con-
trast to the many pretty tolettes worn.
The rcfreshment room was perfect
bower of trailing vines, cut flowers and
decorations. The refreshments were in
perfect keeping with the surroundings
and the fayors consisted Of bonbons,
which contained every variety and de-
sign, and caused a great deal of merr-
mcnt. Guest were present from Phila-
dclphia, Wilmington, Ekton, Newark
and surrounding country, and numbered
some seventy or eighty persons.

Length Of Days.

Is life worth living
In the days of long ago people seemed
to think it was, if the length of time
they devoted to becoming acquainted
with its lights and shadows in any cri-
terion.
II would seem as though life must
have afforded much Of enjoyment in the
good old days. Sophocles hung on until
he was 1870 years old, then persisted by
an accident. Attila was 1874 when he
died of the consequence of revel on the
night of his second marriage. This is a
warning oyoung men. Epemenides was
l57 at his regretted deceasc.
Crowns did not sit so heavily on the
brows ofmonarchs as they seem latterly
to do. Fohi the founder of the Chinese
Empire, reigned ll5 years, and so did
Apaphus of Thebes Egyptian. Tacitus
gives l75 years to Tuisco, German
prince, Daddon, an Illyrian noble, lived
for 800 years accordingto Alexander Cor
nelius.
The art of living seems to be one of
the many lost arts which the dark ages
covered over and modern civilization has
not yet been able to uncover. 1t is GER
tain long life was not secured by using
mineral poisons as remedies for disease.
That is essentially modern practice. The
ancients doubtless drew on the labora-
tory of nature for their medicines, hence
the span of their lives was naturally ex-
tended.
We know that our immediate ances-
tors found their medicines in the fields
and forests, adioiniog their log cabin
homes. These natural remedies were
eflicacious and harmless-left no poison
in the system, Physicians were rarely
called in, and the people lived to rugged
and hearty old age. Is it not worth
while to return to their wholesome me-
thods of cure for common ailments?
II. II. Warner & Co., Proprietors of
Warmers Safe Cure, have introduced to
the public a line Of Log Cabin remedies
and their name indicate their character.
They include "Sarsaparlla.' Hops
and Buchu Rmedy, " Slough and Con-
sumption Remedy" Extract for .Exter-
nal and internal use, Rose Cream" for
Catarrh, "Scalpne" for the hair, Liver
Pills and porous Plaster" They are
carefully compounded from actual reci-
pes, the most eilicacions in use by our
grandparents, and those who would like
to try the virtues of old-time remedies,
have an opportunity to secure the best
