Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Jones, one Of the
speakers at the recent Woman's Rights Con-
vention in New York, was somewhat severe
upon the masculines who flourish in the
atmosphere of millinery stores. Hear her.


1.-The other day she saw a man milliner
holding up bonnet on his soft hands and
expatating on its merits. A lady tried it
on and he went into ecstacies, it was such q
fit and so becoming He complimented the
bonnet and then he complimented the lady.
She could but think this man was out Of
his sphere, and had crowded some woman
out Of her sphere. In shoe store, instead
of sprightly girl to try ON woman's gal
ters, you find strong man, who tries it,
and fuses over the gaiter and over the foot
until the ladyis almost tempted to propel
him into his true sphere. Laughter When
and where was it discovered that God made
man to fit ladies' CATERS? Laughter"

eTs- The question is often asked-"Whv is it
that Or. j. G. Young is so successful, while 9th

increases his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tice, that he is perfect master OF his profession,
and can insure all relief from their troubles; and
while Others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward, placing him at
the head of his ardu0us profession. SO great
has been his Increase OF business that he has
been obliged to associate with himself two other
physicians. both of extended knowledge and prac-
tice We would advise all afflicted to call upon
him in preference to any other Physician. We
are informed that he treats entirely on the vege-
