Mr. Coley had been-a life-long resident of

which runneth as follows: “And be said

We shall not‘ rake up old enmities and
fruitless disputes. The arguments as to
what the North and the South fought for
may be allowed to sleep in peace. It is
enough to know that sensible and good
men were found on both sides; that the
pleas of each party were too perplexing to
be settled by a reference to any elementary
principle of morals; and that in Slavery
.the war destroyed the greatest curse which
lay on the country of incalculable impor-
tance to the human race. The Northern
eople have commemorated such a contest
in a way which, on the whole, presents a
wonderful example of good feeling- and
sell-realraint. Theyhave been hurried into
no passionate acts ofrcvenge by thethought
that hundreds of thousands died to preserve

The Malutennnce of Health.
The maintenance of health is otlcn more dini-
cult than its recovery. Vitlatcd conditions of the
atmosphere, unhealthy occupations, extremes of
heat or cold, and constantgexposure to rough
weather, are all so many provocations of disease.
There is but one sure way of effectually guardinfl
the system when thus subjected to influences pre.
judicial to health, ahd that is to establish, by judir
cious [chic and alteretive medicatiori,_vigor 01' the
body and regularity of its functions. The pl‘opon
ties of an invigorant and corrective are happily
combined in llostctter’s Stomach Bitters, which,
at the same time that it infuses unwonted vitality
into the system, overcomes all tendency of the
stomach, liver and bowels and urinary organs, to
deviate from regularity in the discharge of func-
tions upon which the welfare of the entire physrcal
organization is dependent. Health cannot; be
more effectually maintained than by nsmg the
Bitters. ‘ ltl

We invite the attention of the public to
Scnmxnn's MONTHLY, which now deserv-
ediy ranks among the BEST ILLUSTRATED
ranronichs 0s 'ruE-wonm).
The papers illustrative of American Scene-
ry, which have appeared in its pages, among
which were included “The W'onders of the
Yellowstone," and the “Grgtnd Canon of the
Colorado,” have won wide spread admiration
on both sides of the Atlantic; and “The
Great; South” articles, with their beautiful
in both Great Britain and America. For the
coming year we have broader plans than ever
before. The magazine will be enlarged, and
Three Remarkable Scrml Stories by
American Writers.
‘Gabriel Conroy,’ by Bret Harte."
Of which the Boston Post says: “It is a.
serial that will make every number of Scum-
NEii’s eagerly sought; for, if it had nothing
else to recommend it." -
The Canadian Illustrated-K0103 predicts
that “we have found at last the American
novel.” ‘ ~
The Louisville Courier Jot/.rnal‘says': “Th
second installment is even stronger than the
first, justifying all that was lookedfim”
We begin in January
“Philip Nolan’s Friends,”
BY ED‘VAIID EVERETT IIALE. ‘
This is an historical romance. The scene
is laid in the South-west. at a. time when that
territory was first Spanish, then French, and
then American, and when war was imminent,
to obtain the control of the mouth of the
Mississippi. It is likely to be the great ro-
manee of the Mississippi. Valley, as_G_\BRIEL
CONROY will be on the Pacific Slope.
“That Lass ’O Lowrlc’s,
Ily FANNY nonusou BURNETT.
The friends of “Scurann” who have read
“Surly Tim‘s Trouble,” "‘Onc Day at Arie,”
“The Fire at Grantley Mills,” and. others of
Mrs. Burnett's short stories, will not: need to
them. The scene of the new novel is laid in
an English mining town, and from the first
page to the last the interest is unflagging.
Among other notable papers we mention
the fouowingz’a SECOND “FARMERS
VACATION,” by Col. GEORGE E WAIIING,
descriptive of a row-boat ride of two hundred
and fifty miles, in one of the most fertile and
interesting of the vine-growing valleys of
Europe—a. region never seen by the ordinary
traveler, but full of interest, in its social and
industrial aspects. A rare collection of

The editorial control and direction of the

editorials upon current, political and social
topics. Our readers may look to “Topics of
