TO MARY E. HARNISH. After much expectant waiting I am grat ’.fled by your beautiful reply to questions propounded some time ago by me. B ill you allow me to object to some of your ar guments, and will you be so kind as to re ply to my objections? I write in no contro' versial spirit, but with the honest hope that my objections may be decisively an swered. You say there is work which a woman can do, and which she can live comforta bly- 1 know this. There is work, plenty of work, no lack of it, but it is congeriiol or sufficiently remunerative work? You are doubtless aware that a woman’s nature i no nearer perfection than man’s, which at least has been my experience; limited I will acknowledge. Ii women were “an gelic” they might rest content with their present narrow field of pecuniarily-unre munerative labor. But this is net so. Bo men are human, just as human as men are, and are subject to the same anibit'ous and weakness; they 'nave physical and mental wants as men have the gratification of ; which arc as necessary to their happiness I as to men’s. If these oants were morbid, i the result of erroneous education, then it would be a duty to deny them gratification; but it seems to me that they are natural, and that spite of cramping systems of edu- i cation they will occasionally show them- I selves. It takes woman’s most "constant application at the most confining work sewing and school teaching, which is all that society allows as respectable, to make enough’to live comfortably upon, and with i no chance to lay aside a little lor a rainy day or for age’s winter. I know for iptrufh as well as you do that a homeless, friend- , less, not yet twenty years, of age, can live * in the would, but is it not rather hard , living, much harder for her than it would be for her brother ? All girls have not the j heart and strength you seem to haae, more ! than all boys have the heart and strength of heroes, It seems to me human nature would have to be entirely changed before women can live the contracted lives they live now, and live them uncomplainingly. So it seems to me, but I ma}’ be wrong. It seems also that it is better to endeavor to remedy the evil now than to wait passively for v change, Hoping for a reply, lam Yours truly, O. IL —Rural Suu. bet nils d a. Its Work of To-day. NEW AND MARVELOUS CURES. THE WONDER OF ITS WORK CULMINATES ONLY IN THE CONTINUANCE OF ITS POWER AND CONTRI BUTES PERPET- UAL BLESS- INGS. THE S°ECIFIC ONE 0E THE MIR- ACLES OF GOD. Evidences of the wonderful effiancy of, there waters, these marvelous cures and miraculous achievcmentr, are everywhere abundant; no country is so distant or land remote but what holds some object of its bcnificence, while we may safely say its workings are not only the admiiation hut the positively astounding, and from tins na ture of its cures ’tw mid sceiu the day mir acles is nt hand. People no longer seek the banks of Bethesda as a matter of trial or experience, but with every assurance of relief— the positive certainty of a cure. To cite the instances of its cures; sutnmon the witnesses in its bi half or relate tie history of its blessed mission in past achievements would be an end'ess task and comprise , seemingly the most fabulous tales. Truth however, is stronger than fiction, and for ■ the correctness of the adage we know of as such vivid illustration' as we find in the miraculous workings of “Bethes- I da.” Ign ring all the long catalogue of won ders pet formed by this great natural reme dy—the specific prepared by the Creator, beyond the comprehension or auguries of man, and containing such properties as f» mark it most emphantically as without it' like on earth, we may find constant occu pation in recording its achievements with the passing time. Pay unto day u’tervth speech, and night unto night bring.'th knowledge of this most wonderful discov ery of the age. In its streams is found the sure source of health, instant and positive relief from the most deadly diseases. Through its virtues these deemed beyond the possibility of a hope, and given up to die. drink ard arc made whole again. Tr u hies afar off are deemed but lightly, in the dim distance realities appear as shadow' and in this age of übterfuge and decep ti >n a silvery tongr of magical pen often delude the most incredulous, and s’tne tiiin s establish, for all practical purpose . the false tor the true, the spurious forge nuine. An age of humbug withall: the ig noramus holding precedence to the scholar the quack preferred to the thoroughly prae titioner, the shinster to the venerable and i eloquent—the bigot of the sage. Without bandying words, and ignoring the pros and coas of every theme, we may always investigate its merits and safely de teimine its virtues from its present status. Considering Bethesda in this light, for a moment we find its cures are none the less marvelous than formerly; while its recipi ents increase proportionately with its rap idly increasing fame and the wide-spread wonder of its works. We were at Wauke j sha on Thursday. The number assembled ! and the benefits derived from tjic use of ; these waters are of such magnrude and stupendous character as ,to require actual knowledge and 1 ersonal observation to final ;ly and fully entitle them to belief. But the evidence is there; living examples by 1 scores proclaim to-day the wonders of Be i thesda, the marvelous work it has done for I them and is doing for multitudes through out rhe wolld. At the Bruce House we met a gentle man, Mr.»/. Ketchum, or Toronto, (J. W., who had suffered the most excruciating agony from diabetes, and had arrived only the day previous. He had sought other r. medies to no purpose, but experienced relief' at the first use of Bethesda, and was so much refreshed and improved from a nislu’s rest consequent to its use, as T deciare himself fully on the way to recov i cry. and quite i;ke him elf again, ; We also met a gentleman, Mr. A. Fui i lung, f’-om New Orleans, who lias been ; here -ome weeks and had been given up as I hopeless by his physicians in the South, ; -c king BetheMa in a most virulent case 'of Bright’s disease. He was ne&rly if not I quite restored, an- 1 attributed the use of these watci< as the sole cause of the pro i longation of his days. V» hiie ref .rring to ! this case we are in receipt of the gentle man’s own written star-mont. Weappml it. The cure is a marvelous one, and of it'elf is sufficient to warrant the fame of Bethesda- Waukesha. Wis., ) August, 1,1873. J * Co 7 . IT'diard Lv.ubar : I’L \i: Sir: —1 had bee.: under the care ol I*r. Chawcour, of New OrlcaU' for three I mon::.' previous to my arrival here, ho -• nv-i b ring my case hopeles-, and said J v.-.s no I.'pe for me, as my affection ' wa- 11-’M.t' • •ii'e.-L-e of an incuia’/e type. 1. left New Orleans June Ist and arrived i at St. Louis on the 10th. Here my disease 1 assumed a worse form and all hopes of re covery seemed annihilated in the virulance and progress of the disease. I consulted Dr. P;im, of St. Aouis, and was advised by him to visit Bethesda Spring. I was 1 obliged to lay in Chicago a days, to ‘ gather strength for the rest of my journey, and arrived here in a fearfully exhausted condition. An examination of my case at Waukesha demonstrated the fact that my kidneys were congested—no specific gravi ty of the urine, while the same was loaded with albumen, blood and pus. For two days th re was no specific gravity percen tible, when you desired me to drink Be thesda water fieely which I did, a»U on the third day it showed specific gravity of 5 deg, on fourth 7, and fifth dty JO, with a great change in the the urine. The albumen, which was cdngula ted like a boiled egg, soon dissolved into a thin substance, while the blood aud pus entirely disappeared; the specific gravity raised to 14. and at this present writing, August Ist, I consider myself a well man. I shall ever remember the kind attentions and courtesy extended through you, and believe, as I hope tor life everlasting, Be thesda water, which I had abundantly from you without money and withi ut price has been the means of saving raj- life. In taking my leave of you, fora short time, allow me to extend you the assurance of ever}' grateful consideration, as I have been snatched from the grave and I give this as my te-tio’oriai, so that others similar!}’ affected; shall not despair but profit thro’ my experience—be benefitted as I have i cen saved. Very many in New Orleans j can bear testimony of my case before I left | the city. 1 refer to Dr. Chaweour partic i ulaily- Thank God lam wel. Gratefully yours, A, Furlong. Judge White, of Mankato, Minn., was stopping at the Exchange hotel. His was another case of diabetes an 1 derangement <>f the uniary organs in the severest form. H ' informed us he was perfectly recovered ar. 1 all owing to the u-e of Bethes hi. \\ alking down to the spring we met a Mi. Z 7 yer, of Louisville, Ky., whom we L un I a devoted admirer of Bethesda, and remarked to him ia the course ofcenversa t; m that he was perfect enthusibst in it' I raise; why should I not be, he replied. It 'tive 1 my life when al! other remedies had fail- ! and hope seemed utterly out of the ( question. I had prepared my business for my supposed immediate dissulu’ion; had been t r nearly five yeais going from bad to t worse with the severest type of diabetes, , i an 1 given up and pronounced incurable by ■ the L practitioners in Kentucky’ At this , I time I heard of Bethesda through our rep r> '• ntative in Congress, 7/on. W. B. Reed He recommended me to try it. I did -o and in one week I was enabled to walk. In four week' I had gained eighteen pounds of , flesh, and from that time was restored to I perfect health. Under the blessings of God I ow- my life to the virtues of these waters. Why should I not praise them? Ht-’is by no means an iolated case, but verywhere and from all sources we hear I c ;i'i.le» .'i ngs of praise and thanksgiving j f r the truly marvelous feats of its perform ance. In no instance has it failed to effect a cure: while those who have been restored t' I; al th by its use constitute a multitude. N )t a day passes but we witness or hear of i:s X't 'unding effect>and astonishing cures. The following communication from a prom ner.t cit;z >n of < )hio, speaks volumes in its I rai'v an 1 adds fresh evidence in its favor. Ar i thus it is everywhere; unknown to fab are, a sure restorative and certain spe ’ cifi 't' ere comes, throughout the length and breadth of the land, but one common iy expressed opinion of its merits—one mind as t > its virtues' Wonderful I Mar ' vel 'ii' ’ S| eedy in its effects and certain in I ( results, it is under the ble-eing of him who • e.-ea r ed it. as much a marvel to-day as was the pool in ancient times from whence it takes its name. Monroeville, Ohio, { July 29, 1873. j I Col, R. Dunbar: Dear Sir: —The Bethesda water you were so k nd as tc send to Mr. J. A. Clock of our place, is accomplishing wonders and it seems a complete cure must be effected by its codtinued use. Should this prove to be the case. It will be one of the most remarkable cures ever effected—almost mi raculous, and should be heralded from Dan to Beersheba. All the symptoms seem to indicate his early recovery. lie has been tapped but once since he commenced using thS water, before this he was tapped every week. 7/is dreadful thirst is gone; his flesh is no longer flabby but elastic and firm, and his general appearance denotes improvement: Mr, Clock lias been an in valid so long and at such an expense in his efforts to get relief, his resources have be come limited; otherwise he would go the springs and use the water at its fountain head. Under the circumstances, Mr, Clock trusts you will be as reasonable with him as you can, and forward him an : other half barrel of the water by U S Ex- I press. H N Robey, For J A (’lock, It wiil be remembered by many of our i readers that a Mr. Bane of Ohio, was mi- I raculously cured of dropsy through the use of Bethesda water. /Zearing of his case Mr, Clock resolved to try the same remedy for a similar disease, Its effects are already 'so marked ond beneficial as to call | out the above letter, Unquestionably ' Mr, Clock will soon be restored to robust : health.

He had heard in some way of your mineral water, and that I had some. Hn sent for it by his brother and got nine gallons of it —and I was told yes terday that ho had gone to Michighan a cured man. They say that they cannot be thankful enough for what it has done for him. Several other cases have occgrred of alike character.’ lu Maine, at Portland and Peak’s Island a per ect fuior of opinion has been created in favor of Bethesda over some recent c ires there. From California, aho, we have glad tidings of great joy in reference to the happy effects of Bethesda while the old firm of Holloway & Co., London, Eng land, write enthusiastically in its praise, and have ordered an immense «uppiy. Some parties pertaining to the nobility of Europe, and writing from Bath, E glan 1, 1 speak in the most po.'itive terms of great benefit rereived from the use of Bethesda. ! And thu' we find it everywhere; from the i least to the greatest, and from every por tion of the civilized world there seems to be hut one opinion in regard to the virtues of these waters.

Tie might continue indefinitely with sim ilar publications; space nor time will not permit, and the effiancy of the water is so well known and universally conceded that, to us, it seems useless.
