I Literary. 5Vc have recently been shown a very neatly bound and printed volume entitled “The Progressive Ages, or Triumphs of Science, and Treasures of Nature, History and Literature, by p r of. H. L. Harvey” Published by J. A. Ruth & Co., Chicago, and Kansas City. The world is finely and profusely illustrated, and contains 432 royal quarto pages, fairly glistening with the rarest jewels of natural history and science, embracing scenic descriptions of the surpassing granduer and sublimity of portions of our western country, its great plains, awe inspiring waterfalls and remarkable subterranean caverns, together with an authentic account of the Antarctic and Polar regions, with a spice of variety including •‘Sporting in the '/topics. There is also valuable scientific knowledge contained in the subject of i “Alchemy and Chemistry,” while “More Than One Universe” abounds in radiant astronomical truths regarding the rapidity of the motions of light, the neublae theory, and that one star of stars —Alcyone, the Sun King, around which all the heavens revolve. The meteroic aeolites, and wanderers through space are not forgotten, but are unerringly traced in their mad flight through the ether blue. “Ocean Waves” the wonders of the trackless deep, “Soundsand Silence,” earth treasures and ‘precious stones’ are theme possessing wonderful and interest. An adequate discription is given of important historical events, “Ancient Ruins.” “The Temple of the Sun,” and the culture and the manufacture of our best known and most essential nat ural products. The chapter, “Nature’s Teachings.” I is replete with rich and useful information, affording a subject for deep and . earnest thought, while the life sketches of our noted scientists, inventors, and masters of art, inspire within the reader’s mind a desire to cultivate, even though in a small degree the talents with which God has endowed him. The author has not only adapted his work to every thinking, intelligent mind, but has woven around the whole that felicitious and pleasing style of language that never fails to fascinate the young mind. But it is impossible for us to fully delineate the beauties of this charming volume. M e advise all our readers to procure a copy. The agent is at work in our community, and we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our people. We would like to see a copy of the work in every fajmily- ,nvs - Before un<i Alter. < Yow adays ■when a couple of fools are. engaged, T'is sickening to see how they spoon. They think brothers or sisters are all (in the way, I v l Until after the Honey moon, . Then when married life comes with its / . troubles and cares; A) Their spooning it very soon drops. Their Billing is done by the doctor and nurse. And their cooing with broomsticks and mops. Contusions and bruises, will sometimes appear, Their beautiful features to spoil. Their only relief in such cases as these. Is Dr. Thomas Eclectric Oil. Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse. Tt is believed that the veil presented by Brussels to the Princess Stephanie isthelarg ' --m-ma Ho. It is .128 by 118 inches: 123 work women made it in three months, and it cost $5,000. In rhe middle are the arms of AustroHungary. Hanked by the arms of the city°of Brussells. The border will represent the arms of the nine provinces of Belgium, those of Austria and of Belgium, all connected by a wreath ( of flowers. The Rev. Father Krude and Zoe altlerd. simultaneously disappeared from Brown county, Wisconsin. He was a respected Roman Catholic pastor, ami she an accomplished, lovable girl. They were traced to Covington. Ky., I where they were found keeping house in a pretty little cottage. They had I told the neighbors that they were married, but to their friends from Wisconsin the priest declared that he had simply taken Miss Zoe away from home for religious instruction.

4 Kiddle. Four people sat down at a table to play, They played all that night and part of next day; This one thing observe, that when they were seated, Nobody played with, and nobody cheated; Yet when they got up, each was winner a guinea. Who tell’s me this riddle I’m sure is no ninny, The answer to this is, “they were four musicians.” They exerted themselves till they needed Physicians, They suffered much pain and agony endured, Till they used Eclectric Oil and then they were cured. Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse. Friends, Romans and countrymen lend me your ears ! and we will endeavor to tell you of the merits of a . medicine whose praises are to-day sung by thousands. It is Dr. Marshall’s Bromoline, the Great blood medicine. If your blood is impure and pimples cover yonr face, take Bromoline. If your liver is torpid and refuses to perform its functions, use Bromoline. When the whites of the eyes turn yellow, the skin becomes flabby and dead looking, it is then time to be taking something that will give you the hue of health. That something is Dr. Marshall's Bromoline, which we tell you has no equal as a curative agent. Sold by Dorwin & Holthouse. (Sept.) SALE OF DITCH.
