Womans Exchange, one may well utter the
above exclamation rs n glimpse is caught Of
the dainty and exquisite work there. The
linen case is n general object Of admiration.
The beautiful colored wash silks woven into
voets, daisies, pansies &c. look as If a
square of linen may have had handful of
these flowers thrown on it. while the drawn
linen is something wonderful. All these de-
signs are wrought by the extreme care aud in
dustry of these same fairy fingers. 1t would lie
impossible TO enumerate the grear variety Of
articles suitable for Christmas presents. Of
many small and inexpensive as we'll as the
handsome costly On@s. The domestic depart
ment, which has such al interest for house
keepers at Christmas fills want that can
not be supplied by the cOnfectiOner
The old Virg MA receipts are perfected by
the Virginia ladies', many Of the choicest
dishes being prepared by their own hands.
The Exchange prldes itself on keeping mp
this standard Of excellence. Fruit cake.

Greater than Cough.

Away up in New Hampshire tho
people have heard DR.. Robert Nourse,
and this is the message that comes
down from the Dover Democrat con-
corning him:
By nature, culture and experience, this
man is made for the platform. He reminds
us most of Cough but he is the superior of
Cough in intellectual strength, culture and
analytical power. He has all the wit OF
Cough, and largely his power ofmimicry and
art of storytelling. Rarely, if ever have we
seen an audience SO completely under the
control of the speaker. Continued, repeated
and prolonged applause followed his out
bursts of wit and impassioned eloquence.
The managers Of this lecture, to be
delivered here Wednesday evening
next, are extremely anxious to make it
a successful venture. Their enter
prise is wholly educational. 1t was
undertaken with view of cultivating
a popular relish for intellectual enter
tainment. Hence, they ask every
body to attend DR.. Nourse's lecture.
The assurances are that all will be
more than reimbursed for the small
outlay required.
