mmwiim&i* On Understanding Things. *1 will believe nothing that I can not woderstand/ said a very self sufficient young clergyman, once. 'Then, my dear sir, your creed will be the shortest of aoy person's I know,' answered tbe geDtietnan t> whom he spoke, to the silencing, it is to be beped, of the shallow prater. But such persons we continually meet, and it seems to me very often among teachers : at least, I often see at teacher's associations or institutes those who say Teach nothing you can not make the pu pil understand;' and I suppose they be lieve this : and then the above reply comes to ray mind As I lie out here upon the grass this bright afternoon, under the •hade of this large apple-tree, and almost coneieve that I hear the springing of the gr&33 and the growing of the corn, I find ay powers ol understanding limited; and I must iuppose those of the child to be so also. I can not with all my study un derstand how the grass grows from its tiny seed, or the tree pots forth leaf and bud and blossom, and loads itself with fruit. The botanist tells nie, indeed, of germina tion—the radicate, the plumure,—and, go ing into chemistry, of starch and sugar and diastase, and of certain conditions necessary; but all these only talk about the thing, and do not tell the thing itself. I see this little ant, laborously and busily dragging along a dead fly, so much larger than itself that its efforts seem preposterous, and I question it of its life, and of the life that but now animated the mass it is drag ging homeward, but I can get no response. Kirby and Spencc are equally at fault with the veriest infant. The former ruay indeed tell me more facts, but of reasons they and we are alike ignorant. lam hungry, and 1 ask for food; but the widest physiologist cau not tell me why that satisfies the desire, nor how the mysterious life that I feel throbbing within me is kept up by it. In his loug discourse about chyme and chyle, and lacteals and blood, I detect only igno rauce and not wisdom. I turn away to hide my face from tbe rays of the sun that have at last pierced my leafy screen, and I ques tion the astromoner about that orb that with its silent influence binds unto itself this earth, and moons, and planets, and I hear of attraction, and centrifugal and cen tripetal forces, etc , etc; but the reason is still not given, and I am still unsatisfied. And so in all sciences I find that we have at last to rest satisfied that certain things an facts, and never go beyond them. Per haps in that higher and perfect manhood, to which this earth-life is the childhood, we may understand more of these things; but even there I think we shall still find God unsearchable and his ways past fiuding out. Now it seems to me that this very prat ing about understanding things, which is all very well in due time and season, is really at the bottom of a good deal of tbe shallowness of our day. Do not teach a child what it can not understand seems very plausible; but alas! in tbe endeavor to get things down to the child's compre hension the life is all taken out of them, and what can be comprehended is so very small! And so the poor teacher, and the poorer parent, and the still poorer pupil, think that a certain study has been finished, merely because a most crude and bare out line has been gone through with. '\\ ill you have your bread mummed (mumbled,) or crumbed?' asked a toothless old lady near the White Mountains of a traveler, who had culled and requested a bowl of bread, and milk. The traveler, to whom mumbling was new, choose that; but coucieve his horror when she be gan to chew his bread for him and drop it into the milk ! So it seems to me with too much of tbe mental food of today: we try to get it too soft and too easy of masti cation, forgetting that God has given teeth for their appropriate work. In other words, I believe that, although due explanation should be given of such things as the child can comprehend, it should often be required to study that which it can not as yet un derstand; and by persistent effort fix in the memory that which future years alone will enable it to see the value and use of, and to understand it at all. lam sick of see ing philosophers running around in short, jackets and pantalets. It doesn't accord with my idea of the fitness of things. I have seen this, that the first and most necessary thing for the child to learn is the due acknowledgement of authority, parental and all. The parent who never requires the child to obey unless he can see the reasonableness of the requirement will soon find himself in the dilemma to which a reverend friend—now, alas, a prisoner in the land of Dixie—found himself reduced His son Ned was to be reasoned with always hut at last he found that Ned had no idea of obeying unless be was beaten in argu ment, and that he was pretry skillful in finding reasons to support his side, and so that he didn't mind at all. Now ray friend was a man of sense, and when he found he must either give up his pet theory or ruin his boy he chose the former; and thence forward Ned obeyed because his father told bim to, not because be saw tbe reasonable ness of it. But I am rambling on to a great extent. Childhood has so oAen been called the spring-time that the simile has grown rather stale, and yet let us use it once more. It seems to me that we expect our crops too early: like those high northern latitudes where the sowing and the reaping follow one another within two or three weeks, but the crop is hardly worth the harvesting. It is too much like the old farmer's crop of potatoes. Said he 'I can always tell to a potato how many I shall J raise: I raise just as many as I planted, for my land isn't strong enough to rot 'em.' But this treaches a little upon the subject of training the memory, concerning which I shall have a few words to say in a future number. — Illinois Teacher.

From Emery Edcs, a well-known merchant of Ox ford. Maine. I have sold quantities of your S.VUSAI-.V- I'.ILLA, but never yet oue bottle wtiieh failed of the desired effect and full satisfaction to thoae who took It. As fast as our people try it, they agree there hits been no medicine like it before in our eoiumuuity." Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ul cers, Sores, and all Diseases of the Skin. From Hex. Holt. St ration, Bristol, England. " I only do my duty to you and the public, when 1 add ray testimony to that you publish of the me dicinal virtues of your S ARAAPAKJLLA. My daugh ter, aged ten, had an afflicting humor In her ears, eyes, and hair for years, which we were unable to cure until we tried your BA us.VPAUILLA. SHE lias been well for some months." From Mrs. Jane F.. Bice, a well-known and much esteemed lady of Pennisrille, Cajte May Co., S.J. " My daughter has suffered for a year past with a scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome. Nothing afforded any relief until we tried your SARSAPARILLA, which Boon completely cured her." From Charles P. Cage, Esq., of the widely-known Cage, Murray Co., manufacturers of enamelled papers in Xashua, X. 11. " I had for several years a very troublesome humor in my face, which grew constantly worse until it disfigured my features uud became ail intol erable affliction. I tried almost every thing a mau could of both advice and medicine, but without any reiier whatever, until I took your SARSAPARILLA. It immediately made tny face worse, as you told nie it might for a time: but in a few weeks the new skin began to form under the blotches, and con tiuued until my faee is as smooth as any body's, and I am without any symptoms of the disease that I kuow of. I enjoy perfect health, and without a doubt owe it to your SARSAPARILLA." Erysipelas General Debility—Purify tho Blood. From T>r. Holt. Sawin, Houston St., Xew York. " Hit. AVER. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use or your 8A RS VPARILLA, and I have just now cured an attack of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative wa possess equals the SARSAPARILLA you Have sup plied to the profession as well as to the people." From J. F.. Johnston, Esq., IVakeman, Ohio. "For twelve yean,l had the yelloiv Krysipelas ou my right arm, during which time I tried all the celebrated physicians I could roach, and took hun dred! of dollars worth of medicines, 'l'lie ulcers were so bad that the cords became visible, and the doctors decided that my arm must be amputated. I began taking your Took two bot tles, and some of your I'II.LS. Together they have cured me. lam now as well and sound as any body. Being in a public place, niy case is known to every bodv in this community, and excites the wouder of all." From Hon. Henry) Monro, M. P. P., of Xevwaxtle, C. IF., a leading member of the Canadian Parlia ment. " I have used your SARSAPARILLA in my family, for general debility, and lor purifying the blood, with very beneficial results, and feel confidence ill commending it to the afflicted." St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Sore Eyes. From Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the Thtnkhannock Democrat, Pennsylvania. " Our only child, about three years of age, WHS attacked by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until they tonned a loathsome and virulent sore, which covered his fact-, and actually blinded his eves ior some days. A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other remedies, without uny apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest with them he should tear open the fes tering and corrupt wound which covered his whole face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, wc began giving your SARSAPARILI.A, and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore begau to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when we had finished the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighborhood predicted that the child must die." Syphilis and Mercurial Disease. From Dr. Hiram Slout, of St. Louis, Missouri. " I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual remedy for the secoudary symptoms of Syphilis and for syphilitic disease than any other we possess. The profession are indebted to you for some of the best medicines we have." Irom A. J. French, M. I)., an eminent physician of Isiwrence, Mass., wh<> is a prominent member of the Legislature of Massachusetts. "DP.. AVER. My dear Sir: I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent remedy for Syphilis, both of the primary and secomlary type, ami effec tual in some cases that were too obstinate to yield to other remedies. Ido not kuo-.y what we cau em ploy with more certaiuty of success, where a power ful alterative is required." J Y r - S- 1 Lieta, of Xeic Brunswick, X. J., had dreadful uleers on his legs, caused by the abuse of mercury, or mercurial disease, which grew more and more aggravated for years, in spite of every remedy or treatment that could be applied, until the persevering use of AYKB'S SARSAPARILLA relieved bjm. row cases can be found more inveterate anil distressing than this, and it took several dozen bottles to cure him Letfcorrhaea, Whites, Female Weakness, are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Di ce rat ton, ana are very often cured by tlie alterative J'HCCFC of this .SARSAPARILLA. Some casi'H require, however, m aid of tho SAICSAPAHILLA, the vkilful application of local remedies. Irom the well-known _ and tridely-celebrated Dr. Jacob Morrill, of Cincinnati. ' 1 h*ve found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent alterative In diseases of females. Many cases of iHmS&r* LcuPorr ' , ®a, Internal Ulceration, and L. debi ity, arising from the scrofulous diathesis, have yielded to it, and there, are few that do not, when its effect is properly aided by local treatmeut." A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her name, writes, " Mv daughter and myself have been cured of a very debilitating Ismeorrhcca of long standing, by two bottles of your SARSAPARILLA." : Rheumatism, Gout, Diver Complaint, Dys- ! pepsia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia, When caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured by tlus L.vr.

I was for days and nights not able to go out. Last fall they came on again as usual, and having about half n bottle of your liniment about the house, I thought I would try it, and took about 20 drops night and morning for some time. From the time 1 took it I have never had one chill, and can say that I never had used any medicine that gave so much satis faction as your liniment. Your ob't servant, Adam Baird. March 28th, 1864. Mr. J. Swyers: My son had a sore neck for three months back, for which I used your liniment, and it is a perfect cure. He also had a sure leg for two years back ; I got one of your bottles of liniment, which has cured it soundly. Yours, respectfully, Charles Mitchell. FREEDOM FORGE, March 28, 1864. Mr. Swyers : I recommend your liniment to be the best that I ever had in my house.
