The candidates were an old lady and young

sung, thea q long prayer, then the immersion,
after which a short prayer and lively hymn to
the tune of "Shco Fly" The sect seems in n

TEMPERANCE LEcTURE.-We have heard 90
many commendatory remarks in reference to the
temperance lecture, or rather sermon, delivered
atthe Baptist church in this city last Sundsyeve
by the Rev. p. Taylor, father of Maj. Taylor,
the popular clerk of the Supreme Court, that we
opine the following notice Of it by the local of
the Republican, who was fortunate enough to
hear it, must be about square:


1t was, par excellence, the best grouping of
pointed thoughts and pithy sayings We have
heard in two years in this city. There was no
blood and thunder, such as Ross or Stoughton
pours out, but close feeling and searching after
the characters and consciences of men, and a
sharp, cleal arraignment Of tipplers and
whisky sellers. And yet not q saloon keeper or
heavy drinker in this city would have gone
away from the lecture angry, but rather in a
thoughtful mood and with serious ideas con.
cerning the necessity Of shutting off the drains,
or closing out the saloon business, and engaging
in some useful calling. That lecture ought to
be repeated in every church in the city.

READY FOR TRADE.-A gentleman from
Streator informs us that Burke Il Heenan's new
store in that city is a most decided success. II
Is filled with the very best of goods of fine
grade or in fact any grade to suit the wants of
the community, from the miner to the minister,
from the lAborer to the dandy. The line of goods
Is equally large and varied for the ladies. The
latest styles of dress goods are there, as we'll as
dry goods and notions without end. They have
full stock OF the best of groceries, and no store
in S.reator sells better goods, or goods Of all
grades for lower prices than they Their prices.
too, are uniform and always satisfactory.


The Ottawa branch is full as usual of every.
thing one could desire, every department be.
ing complete in quantity and variety, from the
common goods to the finest in the market.

II Is q WOnQrOuS advantage TO man,


in every pursuit or avOcatiOn, to Sc


cure an adviser in a sensible woman.


In woman there is at once a subtle


delicaey Of tact and plain soundness


Of judgment which are rarely eOmbin-


ed to an equal degree in man. 4 wO-


man, if really your friend, viii have
a sensitive regard for your character,


honor and repute. She will seldom


counsel you to DO shabby things, for q


woman friend always desires to be
proud of you. At the same time her
constitutional timidity makes her
more cautious than your male friend.
She therefore seldom cOunsels YOU to
an imprudent thing. A mans best
female friend is a wife Of good sense
and heart, whom he loves, and who
loves him. But sUppOsing the man to
be without such a helpmate, female
he must still have, or his
intellect will be without a garden;
there will be an unelOsed gap, even in
It's strongest fence. Better and safer,
of course, is such friendship where
of years or circumstances
puts the idea of love out of the ques-
ton. Middle life has rarely this adj
vantage; youth and old age have.
We may have female friendships with
those much older, and those much
younger, than ourselves. Female
is to a man the bulwark,
sweetness, and ornament of his ex-
istenee.

It is impossible to walk IN the
row, to saunter along the drive, or 10
attend any of the various gatherings


where fair faces are supposed to be


the chief attraction, without noticing


how many Of them owe their imag-
ined charms to another hand thar
that Of nature. During the last elglL


years the OdiOus practice Of paint


ing the face has been steadily grow


ing, until, in the most conspicuous
classes Of society the practice has
ceased to be the exception, and has


become the rule. Once more, as in


the time Of Steele, we have a race Of
Picts amongst US. Formerly, an old


harridan, if she spread q little eau
tiOus rouge over her cheeks that age


would have spared, had unremitting
excitement not been superadded to
years, was pointed out with the fin
ger, and was in a double sense a
marked woman. Now a days the
youngest fingers dabble in the pig
ment. The disease has spread from
the cheeks to every portion Of the
face. The mouth, which one would
have thought the last to catch the
infection, has taken il in the most
violent form, and hundreds Of women
in London go about with a perpetual
lie upon their lips. Pencils for the
eyebrows, and even for the eyelashes,
are common wares on a modern toilet
table. Nothing strikes a stranger to
Hyde Park more forciblY than the
want Of expression in the cOunte-
nances which flash past him during
the hours that carriages cOngregate in
that much affected spot. They lack
all mobility. There is no play of the
features about them; they are fixed
and set. Moore would never have
compared any Of them to the lake
that breaks into dimples and laughs
IN the sun. This phenomenon, so
often remarked on, is fully explained
when it is remembered that a single
injudiciOus smile might mar the labor
Of hours. 1t is lamentable to think
that the repOse which stamps the
caste Of We're de We're is too often to
be attributed, not to any inherent
refinement or to any inherited calm
grace, but rather to a horrible fear
that a moments animation might
thWart the study Of an entire morn
ing.

In Artemus Wards lecture on


Ghosts, he tells of an absurd man who


wouldn't have any glass in his win


dOws-he thought the sash would be


enough, as it would keep out the
eOarsest of the cold. : This reminds
your correspondent Of a story that old
ParsOn H, of P, used to tell of his
experience Of the cold night on the
night of his marriage. They went on
a "briClIe toJver" to his Cousins down
on the shore of the Connecticut, and
spent the night, which was one of the
coolest of the season, and being put
in q cold spare room, they suffered
severely. After a while his wife ask
ed him to get IN and see if he couldn't
ind something more to put upon the
bed. After a diligent search he could
find nothing but his and his wife's
clothing, which he gathered up and
put upon the bed, and got in and tried
it again, and still they grew no
tUdrHler very fast, and his wife beg
ged Of him to get up and see if any
thing more could be found, and sug-
gested that there might possibly be
something in q closet in one corner
Of the room; so he went and examin-
ed the closet, and reported that an old
fish net was the only thing he could
find. "Well, my dear" said she,
put it on, that will tangle the cold a
little"

The most frequent, and we may say,
the general cause Of sick headache is
a weak stomach and imperfect diges-
ton. Such people as are troubled in
this way find the following symptoms:
The appetite begins to Be strOng. as
they call it. They feel quite hungry
when meal time comes, and eonse-
quently eat heartily. The appetite
becomes more and more ferOcious un-
til they can hardly wait from one
meal until another, but are constant
" biting Of different articles of food
all day. During the night, or at
furthest the next morning, they have
the sick headache.


What is the reason? The stomach
is naturally weak, and so long as it is
not crowded it works kindly. By and
by more food is put into it-Or more
irritating kinds-than il can digest.
1t ferments, an acid state is produced,
the acid acts as an irritant upon the
coats Of the stomach, and this irTita-
ton is taken to be a call for food, to
satisfy which more is taken, and all
to no purpose, the poor stomach re-
volts; but with the rest during the
continuance Of the headache, and the
relief from the vomiting, 1G IacoVers
its wonted tone.


But how can these turns be prevent
ed? The treatment is very simple,
and many have been relieved by it,
while many have been entirely cured
Upon the first appearance Of the NOR
bid appetite, neither eat nor drink for
one or two meals. Generally at the
second meal the person does not feel
as hungry as at the first. This is a
good syEptOm, as it marks a relief in
the stomach. Follow up this, until
the appetite becomes what it. should
be, and many a turn Of sick headache
may be prevented. There is no need
Of medicine, unless it BE a little mag
nesia, or some ant-acid at first to neu-
tralize the soreness; but a persever-
ance in the one thing named, if began
in season, will generally produce 8
change for the better, if not a per-
manent cure.

A party of men, say from three to a
dozen, get together and hold frequent
meetings, and act according to a plan
laid down. One or two will find out
some copperplate printer in the en-
plOy. of the bank note cOmpany-in
fact all such printers are known by
the party. These men will manage
to meet one of the printers in the even
ing, get acquainted, drink and have a
good time generally with him, and so
proceed for a few evenings. Then
they offer him from fifty to one hun
dred and fifty dollars to procure GER
tain kind of impression. This i'm
preston is made in this wise: The
printer takes the impression upon tin
foil from the plate from which he is
printing, which is done in a moment.
Thus you see every line and the size
is obtained correctly. From this tin
foil an electro plate is made. They
then get some plate printer that can
be found about the city, have a good
time with him, and engage him at
twenty dollars a day to do the print
ing. BY this plan thousands of cop
les are struck off which defy detect
ives, except in the quality of the
paper, which will slightly differ from
the genuine. The place of manufac-
ture is generally some distance from
New York, like Staten Island, Flat
bush, or sometimes Baxter street, or
similar localities in that city. 1t is a
strange fact that in every case where
a party Of this kind exists, every
member lacks confidence in his assO-
ciates. Every move made by one is
narrowly watched by the others of
the party. 1t would be death to an
informant or spy that did not look to
himself.

A GOOD HEART-There was a great
master among the Jews, who bid his
scholars consider and tell him what
was the best way wherein a man
should always keep. One came and
said there was nothing better than a
good eye, which is in their language,
q liberal and eOntented disposition
Another said a good companion was
the best thing in the world. A third
said a good neighbOr was the best
thing he could desire; and a fourth
preferred a man that could fOresee
things to cOme-that is, a wise person.
But, at last, came in one EleaZer, and
he said a good heart was better than
them all. ''True,n said the master,
thou hast cOmprehended in two
words all that the rest have said for
he that hath a good heart will be both
contented, and a good companion, and
a good neighbOr, and easily see what
is fit to be done by him." Let every
man then seriously labor to find in
himself a sincerity and uprightness Of
heart at all times, and that will save
him abundance Of other labor.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY -
The moment a man parts with moral
independence; the moment he judges
of duty, not from the inward voice,
but from the interests and will of 8
party; the moment he commits him
self to a leader or a body, and winks
at evil because division would hurt
the cause; the moment he shakes off
his particular responsibility, because
he is but one of a thousand or million
by whom the evil is done-that mo-
ment he parts with his moral power.
He is shoTn Of the single hearted faith
in the right and the true. He hopes
from mans policy what nothing but
loyalty to God can accomplish He
substitutes coarse weapons, forged by
mans wisdom for celestial power
