The light-house stood on a strip of land that ran out into the sea. Do you know what a light house is for ? Did you ever see one ? No, it may he not. It is a tall stone tower built near the sea. In the top of it a light is kept, which may he seen afar of. In the dark night, when the Storm is ont on the sea, and there is no light to show the land, the great ships that sail on the sea might be cast on shore and broken to pieces. Bat when they see this light they know where they are, and so they try to keep off the shore. Many ships have been saved by the lights that were kept in this light-house built on the long strip that ran out into the sea. Sand-bars lay all along the shore on both sides. It was a bad place for ships to come near, and if no light had been there many a ship would have gone to pieces on the sandbanks. ■, An old man and his wife lived m the light house, and kept the light with great care. By day they would put in new wick and fill it with oil, and all the long night when the clock struck the hours they would take turns and go up the steep iron steps to trim the lamp and keep its light from going out. Here they had lived tor a long time. Two or three little huts on the shore near by were all the houses that were anywhere in sight. It was a lone place, hut the old iolks loved their work, and so they lived here quite content. There Was no child in the house. Long, long years ago, they had laid away in the cold ground the dead body of their only child, a noble boy, and since that they had lived alone. No, not ever since that. About six years before my story begins there was a great storm in that part of the sea, and a fine ship went to pieces. Many dead bodies came ashore, but of all that sailed in that noble ship only one was left alive, and that one was a little child not more than two or three years old. She was found in the arms of a dead woman, who was tied to a plank and washed ashore. It was thought this Woman must have been her mo ther, hut there was no name on her clothes, and they only kept a tress of her long fair hair, and her dead body was laid in a grave under the wil lows. The child was very like the mother. She had blue eyes and fair hair, but there was no mark on her clothes, save on her white dress a little vine Was wrought in the shape of the letter TV. But the child could not tell them her name, and that was all they could learn of the past of her life, that letter W. And the old man and his wife loved the child dearly because they had none of their own ; and because she looked so bright in their plain rooms, they kept her for their own. For a long time they could not think what to call her. The child seemed to forget her own name, and that was strange, too, hut so it was. They would have it begin with W-, as her true name did, but what should it be? They could think of nothing to suit them, till at last the old man said it should be Waif. Now a waif is a thing for which there is no own er, a thing that has been cast away. And just such a thing was this little child. She had come to them, and there was no one to claim her, and the old man said that it was very fit that she should be called Waif. And after that she was known by this sweet and quaint name to the old man and his wife and all their friends. So she grew up under their kind care, and their old hearts grew young and fresh again for having her to cheer them with her glad laugh. As she grew she found many ways in which she could help the old folks, and when her task was done she would walk out alone a long way on the sea-shore, and pick up pretty stones and fine shells until her little apron was full of the bright things. And then again she would sit with the wives of the poor men that got their food by fish ing, and watch them and help them mend their nets, and listen to their stories of the wild, wild sea, and the great storms that had come over it. But the lamp in the tower was a great wonder to her, and when she knew the purpose for which it was kept she looked at it with awe. The first time they let her clean and fill it, it seemed to her she could never do it well enough; but she soon saw that she did it even better than the old folks, and then it became a great pleasure to her. Still they would not let her take her turn to watch it by night. She often asked them to let her do it, but they said she was quite too young for that. She often wished for the time when she would be large enough, and at last she did watch it one night all by herself, just one night and no more. The old man and his wife were called away to visit a sick friend. When they went they said they would try to come hack that night, but lest they should not, they would get a good man whom Waif loved, and whom she called Uncle Jay, to come and stay with her all night. A woman and a little’girl froth One of the houses near by came to stay with her through the day, and at night Uncle Jay would come. After one o’clock a storm began to blow up. They could see the black clouds away across the sea, and they knew that there would be a great storm that night. When it came near five it looked all the while as if it would rain soon, and Waif sew that the woman wanted to go home to see to her house, and so she said she need not wait, that Uncle Jay would soon be there, and she had better go before the rain, and then she would not get wet. Waif was a brave little girl, and so the woman and little girl Went away. Waif went up to trim and light the lamp on the tower, and then she came down and spread the table for tea, and put more wood on the fire, and looked at the clock; it was half past five. Then she took along look down the road for Uncle Jay, hut he was nowhere to be seen, and it was growing quite dark. She took up a book to read, and then she looked at the clock again; it'was six o’clock. The next hour she looked at the clock a great many times, and when the hour hand pointed to seven she began to fear that Uncle Jay would not come. She went out of the door and called to one of the huts, but the noise of the wind, and the rain, and the fierce waves drowned her voice, and she went back into the tower. Eight o’clock came, and then she tried to make her little heart very brave. She put the bars up to the door, and went up into the lonely tower to vratoh the light all night. And it was a long night. The wind roared, and the waves heat madly against the tower till it seemed as if they would wash it down. Waif could not help thinking of the stories she had heard of light houses that had been beaten down by the fierce waves, and she began to fear thstt such a fate might come upon her, for the tower shook with the fury of the storm. Her little hands shook as she put fresh oil into the lamps, and wiped the damp from the glass; but while she stoodthus by the side of the great lens there came as it were a sweet voice to her ear that said; “In thy need call to the Lonl, Pray to him in faith and trust.” It seemed ns if she had heard these words often before, but where or when she could not tell. She did as they told her, and she knelt down there and asked God to keep close by her. Just then there came a great wave quite over the tower. It broke the glass on one side, and the water came in, and if the poor child had not prayed she would have gone off in a swoon with fright. As it was she stood firm, for she felt that she was not alone. Soon she heard the boom of a gun. She knew now that some ship was nigh, and oh how she hoped that her light might keep them off the shore. She trimmed it anew, and there she stood by it amid the rain and spray that came in through the broken glass all night long. She tried to look out once, but she could see nothing but the white caps duneing tnadly about as if trying to reach her, and she went back to her post and Waited till morning. At Inst the gray dawn came, and Waif strained her weary eyes till she saw a large ship safe at anchor a little way off, and then she leaned her tired little head upon a bench and dropped asleep. Half an hour later a boat came through the waves. The captain wanted to tell the people in the light-house that they had saved his ship. The door was fust, and he got in at the window; but as he found no one below he went up into the tower, and there, lying on the wet floor amid the broken glass, be found the little girl asleep. He took her up gently, bore her' down stairs to her little bed, and then called the men that came with him to look at the child that had saved them. Tears stood in the eyes of all; but when she softly said in her sleep, “In thy need call to the Lord,” one of the men caught her to his heart and wept aloud. That verse, he said, was what his lo.ng-lost wife used to sing to her little child in her cradle. Poor Waif was too tired to wake at once, and she slept on while they stood beside her, till the old folks came home and wept over her and told her story to the men. She slept even after this strange man had claimed her for his child whom he had long thought dead. The long hair was brought out and shown him. It was just like that of his lost wife, and the little white dress with the vine wrought W was Winnie’s, Oh how glad was little Waif, now Waif no long er, to find when she awoke that she had saved the life of her own father. How close she clung to him with her arms around bis neck, and how glad be was to take her away to his nice home beyond the sea. And the old folks who had cared for her went and lived with him till they died, and Winnie was their sunshine and the joy of her father’s heart. BEAUTY AND DUTY. The London Review pronounces that “no man or woman has a right to be ugly,” and thus discusses the matter: “ Men or womeD, what ever their physical deformities may be, cannot be utterly ugly, except from moral and in tellectual eanses, and neither man nor woman has any right to be ugly, and that if either be bo, it is his or her fault, misdemeanor or crime; and that, being ugly, they cannot expect the love of their fellow-creatures. No man can love an ugly woman; and if fathers and mothers can love an ugly child, it is a very sore strug gle, and may be duty after all, and not love. Take the case of Theodosia Perkins—fresh, fair, twenty-three, and passably rich. She has a face and a form that a sculptor might love to imitate. But she is pert; she flirts; she has a bad opinion of her own sex and of the other; she has no education of the heart or of the mind; she has no taste for color, for tune, for propriety; she is ‘fast;’ she is ‘loud;' she is eaten up with vanity and conceit, and thinks the very cream and quintessence of the world. In one word, she is ugly, in spite of her face and form. To look at her, is sufficient to know that she will find no one to marry her ex cept for her money; and to prophesy that after she is married, her husband would detest her. It comes to this —that whatever physical na ture may have done, or may have neglected to do for us, the power of being beautiful remains with ourselves. “ There is no moral appliances that are bet ter than physical rouges and pomades to make man or woman lovely or lovable. It is mind that creates face, and that makes little David strong in the Lord’s grace, handsomer than great Goliath, who is only in the devil’s favor. And the superiority of this kiud of beauty over all others, is this, that the older we grow, the more beautiful we may become. ‘ There is one glory of the moon, and another glory of the'stavs.’ There is one beauty of youth, another of ma turity, and another of old age. Excellent are they all; but from its completeness, as well as from its rarity, the beauty of old age is the di vinest of the three, the crown and completion of all the rest. Youth is beautiful for its physical; maturity for its physical and moral; but old age is the happy union of the physical, the moral, and the intellectual qualities, that generally command love, respect and homage. I know an old woman of seventy-three years of age, of a beauty as much superior to that of seventeen as that of snowy Mount Blanc to verdant Prim rose Hill. Lovely are the snow-white locks, neatly parted over her serene forehead; lovely are the accents of her sweet voice, that speak loving-kindness to all the world; lovely is the smile that starts from her eye, courses to her lips, and lights up all her countenance, when, she fondles a child, or gives counsel or wisdom to young man or maid; lovely is she even in her mild reproof of a wrong-doer; so mild and gen tle—so more than half divine—that he or- she who relapses afterwards into wickedness, is reckless and hardened indeed. I dislike ugly people. I said so at first. No one has a right to be ngly; and if men and women choose to be ugly, it is their own fault, and they must pay the penalty.” THE KNAVE OUTWITTED. A country gentleman came up to town on busi ness, and coufided a considerable sum of money to the care of a particular friend. Having settled his affairs, he went to his friend for the money confided to his keeping; the latter was so base as to express surprise, and to deny having received any money. (jur poor friend from the country, whom we will call Mr. Frankheart, was almost in despair, but he went and told his case to a magistrate of great ability. The.magistrate asked Frankheart if he had taken any receipt, or if there had been any witness to the transaction. . ■ Frankheart answered, that as he had no sus picion of the man he believed to be his friend, he had not taken any receipt, and that the only wit ness was the knave’s own wife. After a little reflection, the magistrate told Frankheart to step into an inner room, and he then sent for the man who had played so trea cherous a part. Oa his arrival, the magistrate thus addressed him: “I understand that you have received as a de posit a large sain of money, and that you refuse to restore it to its right owner." The man’s only answer was a denial of the ac cusation. . ' “Well,” replied the magistrate, “let ns suppose you innocent; but, in order to convince me of it, write to your wife (who is said to have been a witness to the transaction) the letter I am about to dictate to you:— ‘“My beloved wife, —I beg of you to give the hearer of this letter the sum which, about a fort night ago, you saw Mr. Frankheart confide to my care, lam about to restore it to him.’" All resistance was in vain. The letter was written, and was closely examined by the magis trate, to see that it contained the preceding words, and no others. In a very short space of time the messenger returned with the sum of money which Mr. Frank heart bad confided to his faithless friend. The latter, convicted of dishonesty, threw him self on his knees before the magistrate, who re primanded him most severely, and to increase his shame and confusion, called in Mr. Frankheart, the frtend he had treated so basely attd <s«»ieoie:e ®»a«gelisit. Of course, tbe culprit could offer no excuse. The money was restored to its owner, who was advised by the magistrate to be more cautious in future. gliscfllaneoKs. MAD DOGS. SIGNS OF MADNESS. 1. One of the earliest sigDs, and one which should always arouse attention on the part of those in charge of a dog, is a sullenness combined with fidgetiness. It may, of course, be due to some other malady than rabies; but it is a symptom to be watehed. When it means rabies, the dog retires to bis bed or basket for several hours, and may be seen there curled up, his face buried between his paws and breast. He shows no disposition to bite and will answer to tbe call, but he answers slowly and sullenly. After a while he becomes restless, seeking out new resting-places, and never satisfied long with one, He , then returns to his bed, but continually shifts his posture. He rises up and lies down again, settles his body in a va riety of positions, disposes his,bed with his paws, shaking it in his mouth, bringing it to a heap, on ■which he earefuljy lays his chest, and then rises up and bundles it all out of his kennel or basket. If at liberty, be will seem to imagine that some thing is lost, and he will eagerly search round the room- with strange violence and indecision. That dog should he watched. If he begins to gaze strangely about him as he lies in bed, and if his countenance is clouded and suspicions, we may be certain that madness is coming on. Some times he comes to those whom he loves, and fixes on them a steadfast gaze, as if, according to Mr, Youatt, he would say, “Ifeel strangely ill; have you nothing to do witb.it?” ■ 2. On the other hand, itshouldbe remembered that there , are rabid dogs whose ferocity ;knows no bounds. If they are threatened with a stick; they fly at it, seize and furiously shake it. They are incessantly employed in darting to the end of their chain, and attempting to crush it with their teeth. They tear their kennel to pieces. 'The sight of another dog especially excites their fury. But although the ferocious animal early mani fests this fury, we must guard against’ the com mon error of waiting for such a manifestation. The early symptoms of fidgetiness; sullenness, anxiety, or affectionate importunity are equally to be at tended to. No animal goes mad suddenly. There are always several stages of premonitory symptoms. Among these there is one not always shown, but generally, and quite conclusive: it is hallucina tion. 3. Another early symptom, easily recognisable, is a violent scratching of the ear. But it is neces sary to observe .two or three details which dis tinguish this as a symptom of rabies. A dog fre quently scratches its ear; and there is one disease called canker, which gives it great annoyance. The dog is incessantly scratching, and,while doing so cries piteously. How then are we to discriminate this from the same symptom in rabies ? Mr. You att will tell us. “Is this dreadful itching a thing of yesterday, or has the dog been subject to can ker, increasing for a considerable period ? Can ker, both external and internal, is a disease of slow growth, and must: have been long neglected before it will torment the patient in the manner I have described. The question, as to the length of time that an aDitnal has thus suffered, will usually be a sufficient guide. The-mode,in which he expresses his torture, will serve as another di rection. He will often serateh violently enough when he has canker, but he will not roll over and over like a football except he is rabid,” This is a very simple and very marked symptom. An other indication equally and precise, but not per haps so easily appreciated, except by an expe rienced eye, is the condition of the ear itself. If there is a very considerable inflammation, of the lining membrane of the ear—especially en gorgement or ulceration—this is a sign of canker; but if there is only a slight redness of the mem brane, or no redness at all, and yet the dog is in cessantly and violently scratching himßelf, there is but too great a probability that rabies :, is at hand. Another symptom is depraved appetite. Thedpg refuses his usual food, frequently with an expres sion of disgust; or he will seize it with eagerness and then drop it again, sometimes from disgust, sometimes, because unable to complete the masti cation. - This last is an unequivocal sign. It im plies a palsy of the organs of mastication, similar to that affection of the throat which prevents hy drophobic patients from being able to swallow. Some dogs vomit once or twice in the early peri od of the disease. “ When this is done they never return to the natural food of the dog, but are eager for everything that is filthy and horrible. The natural appetite generally fails entirely, and to it succeeds a strangely depraved one. The dog usually occupies himself With gathering every lit tle bit of thread, and it is curious to observe with what eagerness and method he sets to work, and how completely he effects his object.” Here also is a symptom worthy of remembrance. If the well-trained, well-behaved dog miscon ducts himself in the rooms where, hitherto, he has been perfectly clean, and-, if he is seen perse ■veringly examining and licking those places he may at once be pronounced road. “I never knew a single mistake about this,” says Mr. Youatt. 4. The pawing at the corners of the mouth is another symptom, and a dangerous one, because it is so often mistaken as a sign that there is a bone sticking in the throat. “ The first care of those who are not sufficiently on their guard," says M. Sanson, “is to attempt to extract the imaginary bone, or to call in the aid of a surgeon. One of our unhappy confreres, . M. Nieolin, un aware of this fact, perished a victim of his igno rance. He opened the mouth of a little dog to remove the bone, and was bitten.” M. Sanson himself, enlightened as to the danger, was called in by the owner, of a magnificent Danish dog, who was said to have a bone stuck ia his throat. “ The poor beast was sad, refused to eat, and tried every motion to rub his throat with his paws. On my guard against such an insidious symptom, I began by requesting the master to muzzle him—which was done withoutany resist ance. I then explored the throat without detect ing the slightest indication of a bone. As it was possible that this dog might be mad, or merely suffering from ' inflammation of the throat, I or dered the dog to he kept chained up and seques tered. In a few days he was perfectly well.” Now, here the observer finds himself in a difficul ty. The pawing at the mouth may arise, I°, from the inflammation with rabies; 2°, from in flammation without rabies; 3°, from a bone in the throat. How is he to ascertain the truth? By a very simple observation. If there is a bone in the throat, the mdutli will be permanently open. If there is no bone, the mouth will be open, and closed when the efforts to get rid of the irritation cease. Our first care, therefore, should be to as certain-whether the mouth is permanently open, or sometimes open and sometimes closed. If the latter, we may be certain that the irritation does not proceed from a bone; and we need run no risk in attempting to extract it. And if to this indication be added the significant,fact of the ani mal’s tumbling over, losing his balance in his ef forts, we may be certain there is rabies. 5. All who are in charge of a dog may, by a little attention, discover the early symptoms of ra bies, and prevent any mischief by sequestrating the animal, in time. Is be fidgety andj sullen ? Does he, when ill, manifest importunate affection? Is he affected with hallucination? .Does be,ex hibit ardent thirst? Dqes he scratch, his ear Vio lently ? Does, he paw the eomers of the mouth, and not keep the month permanently open, while doing so ? Does he misconduct himself in the room, 1 and pertinaciously lick at the eornera where he has done so? Does he refuse his natural food, and exhibit a depraved appetite? Is he insensi ble to pain? Is bib voice strangely altered ? Any one of these symptoms should awaken suspicion, and;a close,observation will then quickly discover the true state of the case. -We advise all onr read ers to commit these symptoms to memory—to learn them as a lesson is learnt, which, in after life, may be of paramount importance; and to Help them to fix these in the memory, we will add a few illustra tive eases. 3jH® POISON, AND ITS HISTORY. 1. Itisjquite unnecessary to detailhere the mass of evidence which supports the conclusion, that the saUvcCfii the rabid animal occasions the poi son of rallies, and this only. Unlike the poison of small-phx, rabies is not communicable by con tagion, bu, only by inoculation. Unless it enter the systen , it is powerless; once there, it works its deadly vay. 2. It ia not, therefore, the mere bite we have to regard.! Many a man, and many an animal, has been pitten by a rabid dog without harm. The woolldn clothes, or the thick coat of the ani mal, had wiped the tooth clean before it had pe netrated tile flesh. The same is true of the ser pent’s bit et fatal to the naked flesh, it is general ly harmles i through the boot or clothes. We must remenber, however, that not only may the bite be ren ered innocuous because tbe tooth inay be wiped c jap, but also because the organism of tbe bitten inn or animal may be such as to resist the poison. We know that there are human be ings quite insusceptible of certain diseases, who pass unseat led through’ the severest trials. They take no con agion.: ? They resist inoculation. And this seems jbe true of the poison of rabies. John Hunter saji that he knew an instance in which, of twenty-o e bitten persons, only one had hydro phobia. ~ , . , 3. The pison, then, being thus clearly ascer tained, we n ust now follow its course. It is depo sited on or n ar the surface, and thereit remains for an indetern mate period.’ The wound heals, just as a wound from a perfectly healthy dog would heal. Days weeks, and sometimes months, pass on without ray indication of danger. The first sign is an it thing about the soar. This is called the commencement of the recrudescence. : It is generally.-followed by inflammation round the sear, with pain, swelling, or numbness, spreading towards the i trunk. Soon after this the parox ysm begin, 4. The peitod that may elapse between tbe bite and tbe outbreak is, as we have said, indetermi- nate: the agi; condition, and nature of the ani- mal acceleratj or retard it. The usual time is from three w< eks to seven months. HE THE CHANGES OF CURE? There is no reliable evidence to guide us to an answer.. Alive can say is that M. Renault’s con- immense induction, is, that only clusion, front! bitten animals ever manifest ra- one-third of tl warranted'in drawing some such bies; and we aj respect to man. But because, op : chances, it is two to one that a conclusion witl a calculation < man will suffe nothing from the bite of a rabid animal, this kn iwledge should only be employed to allay anxiety, r ever, to warrant the risk. The sur geon at onee — hat is the plain command in every suspicious ease We have only mentioned what is the calculation of chances, because.it is de-sira- ble in every wai to calm the natural terrors of the patient: these terross are sometimes as dangerous as the actual' infection. To show how they may affect, even the mind most familiar with all the symptoms of the disease, and the certainty of sur gical cure, wemny mention that the late M. Va tel, Professor at the Veterinary College of A 1 fort, having once been bitten by a dog, ana having had the wound carefully cauterized, although no symp tom of rabies declared itself in the dog, and al though M. Vatel himself remained perfectly well, so.horrible had been the shook of his first terror, that he never fairly overcame it. From that mo ment it was impossible for him to see a dog un chained within his reach without a painful unea siness, which no effort of. his mind could subdue. Another veterinary surgeon, “ solidement trem pe au physique et au moral,” M. BartbOlemy, was one day bitten by a mad dog under his care. In spite of immediate cautery, he could never after wards endure the .sight of a rabid dog—nay, more, he suffered inexpressible uneasiness if the very name of the disease were mentioned in his hear ing. One day, in 1847/ relates M. Renault, he was passing along the Boulevard Saint Martin, when* he perceived a crowd; on inquiry, he learned that a child had just been bitten by a mad dog. Forgetting—-or conquering his terrors, he jumped from his carriage, pushed aside the'crowd, took up the child in his arms (which the crowd had left sobbing on the ground, without,venturing to its, assistance,) and>- carrying it to. the nearest chemist’s shop, he there thoroughly cauterized the many wounds. After this, he conducted the child to its parents, prescribed what was to be done, and disappeared without giving his name. “All this time,” said his servant, “ master was as pale as death.”. . GENERAL McCLELLAN. This young officer has had a peculiar prepara tion for the high position which he now holds— a position second only to Gen. Scott, and we rather think, second only in name. Any authentic in formation concerning this rapidly rising man, whose influence oyer, the future of the United States is likely to be so great, must be very inte resting, and we areh&ppy to be in a position to give such information. The Rev. Dr. Duffield, of De troit, one of the most-eminent and influential minis ters of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, was present at the last Sabbath afternoon meeting in the Bonaventure Hall of this city, and being asked to communicate any facts concerning the present war of interest in a religious or tem perance point of view, spoke in substance as fol lows : i It is a delicate thing for me, a stranger among strangers, to speak of the war which rages in my own country; but I feel that in such an atmo sphere of Christian union and love as this, I am among Christian brethren who will appreciate de tails that, in other circumstances, it would be in appropriate to give. Rev. Dr. Thomson, of Cin cinnati, paster of Gen, McClellan, communicated to me the following interesting particulars, which, though only intended for the private ear, may be productive of good, especially among the young men whom I,see in this meeting:—General Mc- Clellan is of Scotch descent, and has been brought up with respect for religion; hut never shown any decided resolution to follow Jesus. After his ca reer of victory in Western Virginia; lie was sud denly su.mtnohed: |to Washington to fake comihand there; he bad to go round by Cincinnati ahd Phila delphia—the m.onf direct roads being interrupted. At Cincinnati he sought an interview with his pastor, who asked him if his rapid ascent had not made him dizzy?* “Rather/* replied he, “I have been sinking, fort feel myself a lost sinner/and came to know what I must do to be saved.” Dr. Thomson then faithfullyand clearly unfolded to him the only way of salvation, as set forth in the Scrip ture, to which the General gave most earnest heed, appearing to.have* a spiritual apprehension of the great truths he was hearing. ' At. the close of this interesting conference, Dr. Thomson and the Ge neral kneeled together, and the former prayed most earnestly with him and for him; At the close of this prayer,-General McClellan remained upon his knees, evidently under deep emotion— and Dr. Thomson continued also kneeling, till after about two minutes passed thus id silence, Dr. Thomson laid ■ his hand upon the General’s shoulder, and said: “McClellan, pray for your- Thus encouraged, the young soldier began in almost smothered tones to pour out his soul to God, and when he arose there was a glow of spi ritual life ip his countenance. “I bad already,” said he, “given myself to my country;' but now, I give myself to God, and pray that he will use me for my country’s good.’* Thus terminated this singularly interesting interview; and General Mc- Clellan hurried to Washington, whore he imme diately introduced order and discipline; requiring, not only every man,-but every officer to be in his place—a matter in which there has been a great lack of discipline hitherto in the United States army.. He also required Congress to pass a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks to sol diers, by which the cloud of vultures that follows the army will be hindered of their prey. Dr. Duffield added that General McClellan was only 32 years old, instead of 35, as commonly re ported, and that it was a remarkable coincidence that this religious young man should be called to command the thousands of religious young men who bad been brought to,’the Lord in the great re vival of 1857-’5B, and who now had taken their muskets on. their shoulders and their Bibles in their knapsacks to go and fight for their country, and, he trusted it would turn out—for the utter destruction of that terrible system of oppression which had caused all these troubles. THE PROTESTANT RELIGION. ITS INFLUENCE ON COMMUNITIES. Tell me where the Protestant religion and the Bible are, and where they are not., and I will write a moral geography of the world. I will show what, in all particulars, is the physical condition of the people. One glance of your eye will in form you where the Bible is, and where it is hot. Go to Italy—decay, degradation, suffering, meet you on every side. Commerce droops, agriculture sickens, the useful arts languish. There is a hea viness in the air; you feel cramped by some in visible power; the people dare not speak aloud; they walk slowly; an armed soldiery is about their dwellings; the armed police take from the stranger his Bible, before he enters the territory. Ask for the Bible in the bookstores;—it is not there, or in a form so large and expensive as to be beyond the reach of the common people. The preacher takes no text from the Bible. Enter the Vatican, and inquire for the Bjble, and you will be pointed to some case where it reposes among prohibited books, side by side with the works of Diderot, Rousseau and Voltaire. But pass over the Alps into Switzerland, and down the Rhine into Holland, and over the channel to England and Scotland, and what an amazing contrast meets the eye! Men look with an air of independence; there are industry,.neatness, instruction for chil dren. Why this difference? There is no .brighter sky—there are no fairer scenes of nature—but they have the Bible; and happy are the people who are. in such a ease, forit is righteousness that exalteth a nation.—■ If. Adams, D. D. MOW TO OBTAIN THE GENUINE FLAVOR OF COFFEE. Knighten's Foreign, Life m Ceylon furnishes the following hints, derived from long experience, for preparing coffee. The aroma which resides in the essential oil of the coffee-berry is gradually dissipated after roasting, and, of course, still more so after being ground. In order to enjoy the full flavor in perfection, the berry should pass at once from the roasting-pan to the mill, and thence to the coffee-pot; and again, after having-been made, should be mixed,' when almost at boiling-heat, with the hot milk. It must be very bad coffee, indeed, which, these precautions being followed, will not afford an agreeable and exhilarating drink. The Yirtue of Borax.— The washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, so proverbially clean, and who get up their linen so beautifully white, use refined borax as washing powder, instead of soda, in the proportion of one large handful of borax powder to about ten gallons of boiling water; they save'in soap nearly half. All the large washing establishments adopt the same mode. For laces, cambrics, &c., an extra quantity of the powder is used, and for crinolines (requiring to be made stiff ) a strong solution is neeessary. Borax being a neutral salt, does not in the slightest degree in jure the texture of the linen ; its effect is to soften the hardest water, and therefore it should be kept on every toilet table. To the taste it is rather sweet, is used for cleaning the hair, is an excel lent dentifrice, and in hot countries is used in combination with tartarie acid and bicarbonate of soda as a cooling beverage. Good tea cannot he made with bard water;'all water maybe made soft by adding a teaspoonfnl of borax powder to an ordinary sized kettle' of water, in which it should boil. The saving in the quantity of tea' used will be at least one-fifth.- —Exchange paper. ADVEETIS EMENTS. MELODEON MANUFACTORY.

They are seldom free from them, and by their irritation all other diseases are aggravated. Convulsions, as well as St- Vitus’ Dance, have been superinduced by them, and death has resulted in extreme cases. Whenever the symptoms are observed, such as disturbed sleep, grinding of the teeth, itching of the nose, weakness of the bowels, slow fever, variable appetite and fetid breath, should be resorted to without delay. It is entirely harmless, is readily taken by children, effectually de stroys worms, and by its tonic action invigorates the whole system. It is prepared only by Da. D. latse & Sob, 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. COUGHS, COLDS, CONSUMPTION, Asthma, Bronchitis, &e. JAYNE’S EXPECTORANT been far thirty years the standard-Remedy will he admitted that no better evidence of the great ..native powers of this EXPECTORANT can be offered rhan the grateful testimony of, those who have been re stored to health by its use, and the wide-spread popu larity which, for so long a period, it has maintained in the face of all competition, and which has created a con stantly increased demand for it in all parte of the world. As far as possible, this evidence is laid before the public from time to time, until the most skeptical will ac knowledge that for all pulmonary complaints, it is truly an invaluable remedy. RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS, PLEURITIC PAINS, &c., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia phoretic, soothing and expectorant power. ASTHMA it always cures. It overcomes the spasmo dic contraction of the air vessels, and by producing free expectoration, at once removes all difficulty of breathing. BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It subdues the inflammation which extends through the wind tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses at once the congh and pain. CONSUMPTION. —For this insidious and fatal disease, no remedy on earth has ever been found so effectual. It subdues the inflammation,—relieves the cough and pain,—removes the difficulty of breathing and produces an easy expectoration, whereby all irritating and ob structing matters are removed from the lungs. WHOOPING COUGH is promptly relieved by this Ex pectorant. It shortens the duration of the disease one half, and greatly mitigates the suffering of the patient. In all PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, in CROUP, PLEURISY, &c., it will be found to be prompt, safe, pleasant and reliable, and may be especially commended to Mibistees, Teachers and Singers, for the relief of Hoarseness, and for strengthening the organs of the voice. REV. RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D., Secretary of the American and Foreign Bible Society, writes:— “ Having given Dr. D. Jayne’s medicines a trial in my own family, and some of them personally, I do not hesi tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our materia medica. The EXPECTORANT especially I con sider of inestimable value, and I know that it is highly esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the mot respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.” Rev. B. V. R. James, Missionary in Liberia of the Pres. Board of Foreign Missions, writes:— “Your EXPECTORANT has been administered with the most happy results, and I feel assured I never used an article of medicine that produced a more sure and certain relief for the complaints for which it is recom mended.” Rev. John Dowling, D. D., Pastor of the Berean Bap tist Church, N. Y., writes:— “I have long known the virtues of your EXPECTO RANT, and frequently tested them on myself and family, when afflicted with coughs or colds. I believe it to be one of the best remedies ever discovered forthese mala dies.” Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo mew, (Prot. Epis.,) Philada., writes:— “In all cases resembling Consumption, I recommend your EXPECTORANT, having in so many cases wit nessed its beneficial effects.” Rev. J. J. Walsh, Missionary of the Presbyterian Board at Futtegurh, Northern India, writes:— “ Your EXPECTORANT was the means, under Provi dence, of caring a case of incipient consumption, which had been pronounced incurable by competent medical men.” Rev. Jonathan Going, D. D., while President of Granville College, Ohio, wrote:— “ While laboring under a severe Cold, Cough, and Hoarseness, my difficulty of breathing became so great that I felt in imminent danger of suffocation, but was perfectly cured on using Dr. D. Jayne’s EXPECTO RANT.” Miss Mart Ball, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, Cape Palmas, West Africa, says:— ‘l In our mission families your medicines are a general specific, and among the sick poor Ihey enabled me to do much good. Your EXPECTORANT has proved of great value iu the case of Rev. Jacob Rambo, and in that also of Rev. Mr. Green, two of our missionaries.” EV. C. L. Fisher, formerly pastor of the Dell Prai rie Wis. Baptist Church, writes:— « A little daughter of mine, aged seven years, had been afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpita tion of the heart, and having tried various remedies without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPEC TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them she was restored to a good degree of health.” REV. SAMUEL 8. DAT, Missionary of the Baptist Board, at Nellore, India, W ites “By the use of your Expectorant my Cough and Sore Throat are now weil. I find, occasionally, an un pleasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had lodged 'here, but your Expectorant usually relieves it by two or three applications.” REV. J. R- COFFMAN, of Winfield, Tuscarawas co., Ohio, writes: — . . ■ “ One bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, cured my daughter of Lung Fever, after having been beyond the hope of recovery. During the attack she had a number of convulsions. She is now perfectly well.” This Expectorant, and all of Jayne’s Family Medi cines, are prepared only by Dr. D. JAYNE & SON, 242 Chestnut street, and may be had of agents throughout the country. THOUGH THE remote or primary causes of SKIN DISEASE may be various, as IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, LIVER COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, &c., &c., yet the immediate cause is always the same, and that is an obstruction in the pores of the skin, by which the perspiration, in its passage from the body, is arrested and confined in and under the skin, causing an intolerable itching, or an eruption of Pimples, Pustules, Ringworm j Tetter, Salt Rheum, &c., Ac. For all these affections, Waam McGowm. has been found an invaluable remedy, as it removes both the primary as well as the immediate causes—purifying the Blood, curing the Liver Complaint, and effectually eradicating Scrofula from the system, while, at the same time, it frees the pores of their obstructing matters, and heals the diseased surface.

The remedial properties of this article have now been tested by the public for over thirty years, with a result which enables the Proprietors to offer the most convin cing proofs (certificates of cures effected) of its ability to remove all diseases for which it is recommended. It is quick, safe, and certain in its action, affording im mediate relief when promptly administered. Age does not impair its-virtues, neither is it subject to the vary ing influences of climate; being equally effective in all latitudes, it is in all respects what it claims to be—a “ Standard Household Remedy,” which every family should be supplied with. It never fails to subdue the most violent attacks of these complaints, no matter from wbat cause they ori ginate. As changes of climate, water, &c , often pro duce these serious diseases, Travellers and others should always keep a supply of the Carminative by them. The prompt use of the Carminative Balsam will al ways remove the Diarrhoea and Cramps which accom pany the attacks of Cholera, thus often conquering the disease u its incipiency. It has frequently been admi nistered in neighborhoods where the Cholera has been raging epidemically, and has never failed to give im mediate and permanent relief.
